LFR employs GIS in many different facets of environmental work including
investigations and remediation to help visualize collected sample data.
As warranted, these data can be viewed in relation to geology, vegetation,
land use, and many other aspects. Additional analysis can be applied
to identify target areas for further investigation. GIS also has significant
value for other environmental services including ecological restoration,
litigation support, site closures, facilities management, planning,
and many others.
With
the focus on successful integration of enterprise wide spatial data
management solutions, LFR's GIS and database staff of analysts, programmers,
and technicians provides a full spectrum of GIS services-from planning
and specialized project support through modeling and analysis to full
implementation.
Our
comprehensive experience nationwide gives LFR a wide breadth of GIS
knowledge including:
- Data
model creation for GIS data to precisely characterize surface geography
organized in a Watershed Data Management System (WDMS) for state-of-the
art analysis, visualization, and 3D animation
- Public
utilities/facilities management - mapping, modeling, and management
of public utilities, particularly in water and sewer systems, from
GIS selection to development of turnkey systems for total integrated
management
-
Urban planning needs such as mapping and managing vast databases with
land use, general plan, zoning, and assessor's information at the
sub-block and parcel levels
- Base
realignment and closure for base cleanup, including work with historical
aerial photographs and specific considerations for structures
- Creating
and documenting large databases for various Superfund sites, including
integration with hydrogeologic modeling, Potentially Responsible Party
identification, and U.S. Environmental Protection Agency interaction
-
Digital Elevation Model (DEM-TIN) creation for natural resource, wetlands,
watershed delineation
- Siting
and planning studies for landfills, toxic waste deposition, pipelines,
monitoring wells, electrical transmission lines, and other installations
and facilities
- Use
of existing data sets to locate potential Federal Insecticide, Fungicide,
and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) sites, and develop models of leaching
and runoff
- Site
investigations/remedial investigations for properties ranging from
small sites to those encompassing many square miles with hundreds
of sample points, from densely populated urban areas to unique, near-shore
areas
-
GIS database development/figure production for Phase I Environmental
Site Assessments (ESAs) for potential school sites
- Research
data aquired in the identification process to produce national and
state specific client maps and presentations for EBDC study sites
revealing information about specific watersheds, topography, crop
density, where that information did not already exist
- Geodatabase
development and specialized GIS programming for end-user systems
- GIS
system evaluation and selection
- System
integration in regard to the specific needs of GIS systems and their
databases
