Spatial Data Collection
Field GPS►Appropriate grade►Plan what is to be mapped►Develop and import geodatabase►Log points or stream data for lines/polygons
*Planning and preparation are key!

Geodatabase
Spatial Data Collection• Features in a geodatabase will share a common
coordinate system.
• Database properties can be used to standardize common attributes pertaining to different feature classes.
• A developed schema can be imported or exported.
• Relationships between feature classes, tables can be stored.
• Representations of layers can be stored for consistent display.
• Can add address locator functionality.

Relational Data GIS is based on relational databases – with addition of
location information
Key fields (a.k.a. primary keys) are used to link information from one table to another
OMBIL/EDW, external sources

Significance
I. High Threat/ High Significance
Action item Scale
Boundary survey•Correct errors•Find/reset corner monuments•Establish line
Annual requirement due to high number of adjacent landowners.
Boundary inspection•Visual on-site inspection•Aerial recon if topo and vegallow
Continual, ongoing work. Inspect entire boundary each year.
Boundary maintenance•Construct/repair fence/vehicle barriers•Replace signs/markers•Clear line of sight
One third of boundary needs routine maintenance every year.
Resolve encroachments•RE and OD costs to process and negotiate settlement of major and minor encroachments
An annual, recurring requirement to resolve major and minor encroachments
IV. Low Threat/ Low Significance
Action item Scale
Boundary survey Some survey work required onceevery 5-6 years
Boundary inspection Inspect 20% of boundary each year
Boundary maintenance Maintain 10% of boundary each year
Resolve encroachments Major encroachments rarely occur. Minor encroachments occur every 2-3 years.
