This paper will trace the implementation of ArcView at the Presidio of San Francisco to support base closure activities initiated by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Specifically, this paper will detail the development of an application used for the analysis of Quarterly Groundwater Monitoring data. The creation of this application required a lengthy process of evaluating Users' needs and expectations, application design, prototyping and testing. User feedback during this process shifted the focus away from the application itself and towards the User Interface. Extensive customization of the ArcView "out of the box" User Interface had to be done in order for the User to feel comfortable and in control. This paper will conclude with a discussion of the results of this design philosophy change and further application development.
