  1. Integrating Natural Resource Information Systems Governor’s Natural Resource Cabinet July 23, 2008

  2. TheProblem • : • Oregon lacks a “systematic environmental data management strategy which generates, manages, integrates and displays the type of environmental data” needed to “measure environmental health over time.” • ~ 2000 State of the Environment Report

  3. The Problem-No One is Responsible • OWEB ? • ORS 541.365 Conduct of watershed enhancement program; integration of geographic information. • (1) The Oregon Watershed Enhancement Board shall conduct a watershed enhancement program to benefit all users of the waters of this state. The board shall conduct the program in a manner that: •       (b) Coordinates the information, data and data retrieval needs of the natural resource agencies of the state with the State Service Center for Geographic Information Systems.

  4. The Problem-No One is Responsible • INR? • ORS 352.239 Institute for Natural Resources. • (2) The Institute for Natural Resources shall serve the following purposes: •       (a) Serve as a clearinghouse for scientifically based natural resources information. •       (b) Provide scientifically based natural resources information to the public in integrated and accessible formats. •       (c) Coordinate efforts with other state agencies and bodies to provide natural resources information to the public in a comprehensive manner.

  5. The Problem-No One is Responsible • DAS? • The purpose of the Oregon Department of Administrative Services is to improve the efficient and effective use of state resources through the provision of: • 8) Statewide information systems and networks to facilitate the reliable exchange of information and applied technology.

  6. The Problem-No One is Responsible • OGIC? • EO 00-02 The OGIC shall: • a. Provide leadership within state government regarding the accumulation, dissemination, analysis, and management of geographic information, • c. Fulfill a policy, planning, and assessment role regarding geographic information issues, • d. Promote coordination and partnerships among federal, state, and local government entities regarding geographic information issues.

  7. 2009 Data and Monitoring POPs • DOGAMI 3 POPs - LIDAR / Climate Change Coastal Monitoring • DSL 1 POP - Territorial Sea Mapping • DEQ 9 POPs - Info Infrastructure, Public Info Access, Info Exchange Network, Climate Change Monitoring, WQ/Air Quality Monitoring, Compliance Data Mgmt., • ODA 7 POPs - WQ Monitoring, Info Infrastructure, CAFO, LIMS, IPPM, Land Use GIS, Climate Change Monitoring • ODF 1 POP - Watershed Research, SOD Monitoring • ODFW 3 POPs - Public Info Access, Big Game Census, Climate Change Monitoring • OUS 3 POPs - Climate Change Clearinghouse, SOER, ORNHIC • WRD 5 POPs - Climate Change Monitoring, Water Demand Data • OWEB 1 POP - Climate Change Monitoring • Total 33 POPs $21,100,000

  8. Learning from 2007 • Rep. Nolan February 28, 2007 • How do all the Program Option Packages (POPs) in the Governor’s Recommended Budget that relate to mapping and decision support systems fit together? Do all of the packages work together? Are they duplicative? • (1) what will each proposal do? • (2) who is the intended audience? • (3) what is the relationship between the proposals and existing programs? • (4) what is the funding source?

  9. LFO Feedback Post - 2007 • How do LIDAR and GIS fit together? • By investing in these systems, how are you going to deal with technology changes in the future? • How much duplication of effort is there now between agencies? • Why does each agency need to create and maintain their own datasets? • How could existing agency IT dollars be reallocated to meet the needs of a comprehensive system? • We’ve paid for data lots of times, over and over again. Why do we need to pay for it again? • What are the real priority data and information access needs? • Aggregation of data enables us to do things we couldn’t do before.

  10. Right Now… • Agencies often forced to use inferior & incomplete data because it’s the best available or the best they could find • As a State, we often create data many times and use it once, rather than creating data once and using it many times • navigatOR and Explorer are examples of coordinated efforts that could create efficiencies and save money • How can we use natural resource and environmental information in a strategic way that benefits all natural resource agencies?

  11. Sometimes Data Is Used More Than Once…To Great Effect • Environmental monitoring applications for DEQ, OWEB, others • Surface water, soils, roads, land cover, elevation, aerial imagery, etc. • M49 application for DLCD • Tax lots, land use, roads, surface water, aerial imagery, UGBs, etc. • Firefighting in wildland-urban interface (The Dalles 2002) • Tax lots, site addresses, roads, surface water, aerial imagery, etc. • Imagery for creation of better parcel mapping (ORMAP) • Incident response support for law enforcement • Addresses, roads, aerial imagery, tax lots, administrative boundaries, etc.

  12. Sometimes Data Is Used More Than Once…To Great Effect • Environmental monitoring applications for DEQ, OWEB, others • Surface water, soils, roads, land cover, elevation, aerial imagery, etc. • M49 application for DLCD • Tax lots, land use, roads, surface water, aerial imagery, UGBs, etc. • Firefighting in wildland-urban interface (The Dalles 2002) • Tax lots, site addresses, roads, surface water, aerial imagery, etc. • Imagery for creation of better parcel mapping (ORMAP) • Incident response support for law enforcement • Addresses, roads, aerial imagery, tax lots, administrative boundaries, etc.

  13. Sometimes Data Is Used More Than Once…To Great Effect • Environmental monitoring applications for DEQ, OWEB, others • Surface water, soils, roads, land cover, elevation, aerial imagery, etc. • M49 application for DLCD • Tax lots, land use, roads, surface water, aerial imagery, UGBs, etc. • Firefighting in wildland-urban interface (The Dalles 2002) • Tax lots, site addresses, roads, surface water, aerial imagery, etc. • Imagery for creation of better parcel mapping (ORMAP) • Incident response support for law enforcement • Addresses, roads, aerial imagery, tax lots, administrative boundaries, etc.

  17. Incident Response Support

  18. Another Approach • European Environment Agency http://www.eea.europa.eu/ • EEA's mandate is: • To help the Community and member countries make informed decisions about improving the environment, integrating environmental considerations into economic policies and moving towards sustainability • To coordinate the European environment information and observation network

  19. What Needs to be Done Next • Form a Workgroup to: • Develop strategic vision for use and leverage of information • Develop integrated information architecture for natural resources • Inventory and assess existing information systems • Evaluate 2009 POPs for natural resources information projects • Workgroup Matures as Governance Body to Administer Integrated Information System
