 Increasing the Efficiency of Environmental Projects Using GIS Technology Track: Environmental Management Author(s): Brian Murphy, Garner Peterson, Mike Stimets The success of large environmental programs is greatly affected by the efficiency of data management and analysis. Environmental projects have been a major focus for the last 10 years at Camp Stanley Storage Activity, an Army facility in central Texas. Over this time, environmental samples have been taken from more than one thousand locations. Laboratory analytical data has been gathered for multiple parameters for each of these sample locations. This paper discusses the various data management strategies, analysis methods, and data types incorporated in the GIS for CSSA's model environmental program. Among these are the implementation of government spatial data standards, development of custom querying tools, three dimensional analysis using LiDAR technology, and the inclusion of data from many sources. GIS as a data management and analysis tool has greatly increased the efficiency of the CSSA environmental program.
