ARRA National Map Program: Imagery and Elevation Data

1. ARRA National Map Program:Imagery and Elevation Data SE Area Real-Time Inundation Meeting Atlanta, GA October 29, 2009 U.S. Department of the Interior U.S. Geological Survey

2. NGPO Mission • Provide leadership and guidance to key stakeholders • Facilitate strategy and policy development • Provide financial and other incentives • Facilitate the development of key standards and data models • Coordinate governance structure for the NSDI • Negotiate collaborative agreements with stakeholders • Provide forum for technology transfer and sharing best practices • Implement key components of the NSDI • Host spatial datasets, web sites, knowledge base, and tools for discovery and access • Perform data integration and Quality Assurance of spatial data • Produce spatial data – as last resort • Manage geospatial service contracts • Provide training, education and consulting • Conduct and sponsor research for GI Science • Support GIS applications and services • Create map products

3. NSDI Partnership Office Functions • NSDI Partnership Offices house USGS Geospatial Liaisons • Liaisons represent, coordinate and implement NGPO programs and initiatives in the context of State, local, other federal agency and regional needs and strategies • Liaisons cultivate relationships and develop partnerships and supporting agreements as the “local face” of the NSDI and NGPO programs

4. Emergency Operations • Geospatial information coordination • Liaison support – DHS, NGA, CIA, DOI, etc • National Security Special Events • Homeland Security/Defense requirements gathering and planning • Support for deployed geospatial experts • Custom and sensitive products

5. Multiple Funding Approaches Combination of Cooperative Agreements and Contracts for elevation data (lidar) Cooperative Agreements for Orthoimagery Flexible funding

6. Major milestones/timelines and accomplishments Program Announcement approved at DOI, awaiting OMB clearance on Paperwork Reduction Act Science Projects selected, Tasks Orders in work using Geospatial Products and Services Contract (GPSC) Federal projects identified and in progress Alaska IFSAR acquisition in FY10

7. Cooperative Program via Grants.Gov

8. Cooperative Program via Grants.Gov

9. Science Projects Seven projects selected Review of footprints, specs, and cost estimates in progress Work with points of contact to adjust if necessary Develop task orders for GPSC2 Award contracts when GPSC2 is available

10. Regional Lidar Science Projects Mobile Bay Indiana Flood forecast libraries Stone County, MO Loch vale and HandCart Gulch, CO NPS Lidar San Francisco Bay Coastal System Sandy River, OR

11. Eastern Region Projects Priority 2: Flood-inundation Libraries for 20 NWS Flood Forecast Points in Indiana Project AOI square mileage in written proposal = 240 sq mi, but shapefiles = 165 sq mi 9 areas are non-contiguous which will affect mobilization, collection, and base station control set-up Cost estimate is good

12. Eastern Region Projects Priority 2: Flood-inundation Libraries for 20 NWS Flood Forecast Points in Indiana Tippecanoe River (North) and flood plain within Tippecanoe, White, and Carroll Counties

13. Eastern Region Projects Priority 2: Flood-inundation Libraries for 20 NWS Flood Forecast Points in Indiana Tippecanoe River (South) flood plain within Tippecanoe, White, and Carroll Counties

14. Eastern Region Projects Priority 2: Flood-inundation Libraries for 20 NWS Flood Forecast Points in Indiana Wabash River and contiguous flood plain within Terre Haute, Vigo County

20. Eastern Region Projects Priority 2: Flood-inundation Libraries for 20 NWS Flood Forecast Points in Indiana Elkhart River and Flood Plain, Goshen and Elkhart, IN

21. Federal Partnerships Numerous meetings with other Federal agencies to partner ARRA stimulus funds with non-ARRA funds over a number of areas: Alaska IFSAR USGS, NGA, BLM, USACE Coastal US lidar NOAA, FEMA, USACE, USGS Interior US lidar projects NRCS

22. Federal PartnershipsFEMA-USGS-NJ Project to complete lidar coverage over NJ USGS pays for areas west of CAFRA (Coastal Area Facility review Act) line, FEMA east of CAFRA line ~$1.3M, $750K USGS, $298K FEMA, $500K for hydro enforcement, survey checkpoints and QAQC Coastal FL a possibility

23. Issues/Problems/Risks GPSC contract protest Timing of Program Announcement for Cooperative Agreements Limited number of projects suitable for flying before spring Leveraging with other Federal ARRA and SIR funds Large Consortium requests Overlapping project areas

24. Next Steps Develop all task orders and be ready for GPSC availability Post Program Announcement on grants.gov Develop interagency agreements and associated task orders
