IMPROVING INTEGRATED STORM WATER MASTER PLANNING: PLAN SMARTER
Track: Water, Wastewater, and Stormwater
Authors: Ahmad Salah, Matt Cassel

Most storm water master plans incorporate GIS technology to some extent. We present an example of how GIS can be efficiently used to save time and resources during planning and through the implementation of capital improvement plan, in Park City, Utah. The primary goal is to standardize data layers and streamline the storm water crew day-to-day tasks. We developed an SDSFIE-based template for storm water master plans. The geo-database includes underground infrastructure, surface features and a "time-aware water quality monitoring dataset for Cadmium (Cd) and Zinc (ZN). Time-aware maps of upstream and downstream Cd/Zn help in the TMDL preparation or review process. The template uses pipe age, size, material and soil type as a multi-faceted criteria to prioritize field televising for pipe condition assessment. The pipe condition videos are included in the geo-database. The application consists of desktop application with customized tools, a mobile GIS application and a web portal.
