Real Time, Spatial Data Management for Environmental Site Assessments
Track: Environmental Management
Author(s): Woody Frossard, Jenny Palomino

Environmental site assessments determine whether remediation activities are required on a piece of property before development can occur. A streamlined field data collection process provides real time, spatial information to facilitate planning further investigative efforts. Utilizing a customized ArcPad interface in conjunction with digital data collection forms, environmental specialists have the ability to synchronize collected data to a centralized ArcSDE/SQL Server database directly from the field. Linking a web mapping application to the centralized database provides decision makers direct access to site assessment data and related GPS data. This presentation demonstrates a model for unifying field collection, database and web application tools into one process. The result: a powerful environmental data management system.
