Track: Environmental Management
Meeting Customer Demands Through Implementation of an Integrated Environmental and GIS System at the Savannah River Site
Cheryl HardyThe need to effectively manage and integrate large volumes of environmental data to support regulatory compliance and site remediation programs at SRS provided professionals the opportunity to explore spatial information technology as a means to accomplish information management goals. Since spatial relationships were inherent to the environmental data, GIS technology provided an effective means for intuitive access to the site's environmental information. This paper describes the implementation of an integrated GIS and database management system and the subsequent release of the SRS Legacy GIS Coverage CD as a communication tool. The systematic approach utilized evolved as a foundation for data consolidation across functional and organizational boundaries at the 300-square-mile site.
