Evan J FedorkoJacquelyn Strager
Outline
• Status• Year One Proposal– Players– Task 1: Stewardship program establishment and
organization– Task 2: Editing of known errors– Task 3: Flood zone targeted editing (research)– Task 4: High change area targeted editing (research)– Funding
Status
• Memorandum of Understanding– Between WV Office of GIS Coordinator and the
USGS– Final draft being reviewed by USGS– Will be signed ASAP
• Year one proposal– Final draft complete – participants seek your
input!
Year One Proposal
• Players– West Virginia GIS Technical Center (Fedorko)– Natural Resource Analysis Center (Strager)– West Virginia Department of Environmental
Protection (Daugherty) – West Virginia stewardship community
Task 1: NHD Stewardship Program
WV Office of GIS Coordination
WV GIS Technical Center
NHD Users Group
Primary Sub-Stewards
NHD Error Reporting Tool
USGS NHD Stewardship Program
NHD Steward
Stewardship Technical Lead
Stakeholders andStewardship Mechanisms NHD Training
and Policies
NHD National
e.g., WVDEP, USFS, WVDNR
NHD Data Users
Task 1 (cont.)
• Establishment of !• Establishment of Stewardship mechanisms,
including:– Mailing list of updates– Error reporting tools– Training (also related to task 2)
NHD Users Group
Task 2: Known errors
• Utilize NRAC/WVDEP compilation of errors• NRAC and WVGISTC will edit as many 8 digit
HUs as possible during project period
Task 3: FEMA flood zones targeted editing (research)
• Research the feasibility of utilizing FEMA DFIRM flood zones for targeting areas in NHD for geometric edits
Task 4: High change areas targeted editing (research)
• Work with WVDEP to develop methodology, data sharing mechanisms, etc., to most efficiently edit areas of high change; e.g. surface mining areas, road construction, etc.
Funding
• Total target is ~$50 K• Proposal is directed towards USGS and
includes a funding match from WV Office of GIS Coordination
• Funding will be split between NRAC and WVGISTC
Future Considerations
• Manmade drainage features• Information exchange, particularly in high
change areas • Long term stewardship funding
Discussion
• We need feedback!
