  1. Exchange Network Opportunities Ashley McFarland Coeur d’Alene Tribe, Idaho si’mn he smiymiyu’lmkhw Earth Knowledge Tool

  2. Overview • Coeur d’Alene Tribe located in Plummer, Idaho • Six employees in GIS staff • Have worked with Exchange Network since 2003

  3. Objectives • Describe each grant awarded • Explain the work done on each grant • Illustrate the deliverables of each grant • Show how GIS can be utilized • Explore suggestions from the Coeur d’Alene Tribe

  4. First Grant • Agricultural Burning, Smoke Management • Pesticide Inspection Management • Received in 2003—3 year project

  5. Smoke Management Goals • Develop tool to manage agricultural burning on the reservation • Develop infrastructure to exchange data • Collect baseline data

  6. Infrastructure Development • Purchase and set-up ArcIMS Web Server and Data Server • Allowed data exchange within and outside of Tribe • Exchanged data with EPA in Seattle , USGS in Spokane • Providing metadata out to USGS Geospatial One Stop

  7. Data Development • Mosaic work done on orthophotography • Field ownership/boundaries determined by Common Land Unit (CLU) and Public Land Survey (PLS)

  8. BlueSky Data Integration • Predictive modeling grid to estimate the cumulative effects of vegetative burning • Data harvested to assess potential smoke conditions

  9. Smoke Tool Development • Web-based tracking mechanism • Burners • Permits • Fields • Identify fields appropriate to burn • Prediction of smoke movement • Available, permitted fields

  10. Smoke Management Obstacles • Washington’s burn dataset difficulties • Burn ban lawsuit • Short windows of time to burn • Did not allow for planning • Changing mindset

  11. Pesticide Project Goals • Assist tribal inspector in tracking pesticide inspections • Develop database • Conform to “pesticide standard” • Allow EPA and other tribes to see inspection data

  12. Pesticide Inspections • Tribal inspector works with six other tribes • Part of Circuit Rider Program • Wanted the ability to track inspections and applicators to better plan future inspections

  13. Database Development • Conform to proposed standards • Develop queriable database • Create forms for field entry

  14. Pesticide Form Development • Based off of current field forms • Standardize and streamline • Forms undergoing “trial run”

  15. Pesticide Database • Tracks • Use inspections • Follow-up/complaint inspections • Forms • Applicators • Employers • Pesticides • Samples • Aggrieved party

  16. Pesticide Database Obstacles • Proposed standard never adopted • Organizational strategy • Flexibility

  17. Pesticide Project Deliverables • Functional, searchable database • Accessible to government and tribal institutions • Broader use of forms

  18. Second Grant • Facility Registration System (FRS) Updates • One year project awarded in 2007

  19. Facility Registration Goals • Registered sites • Update contact information • Update latitude/longitude positioning • Strengthen overall data integrity within the FRS • Other • Purchase GPS unit • Survey Reservation to ensure facilities properly registered

  20. Need for Improvement • Over 90 registered facilities throughout Reservation • Only 1/3 of sites had spatial data—often incorrect

  21. Need for Improvement Plummer Forest Products

  22. FRS Prep-Work • Took inventory of Reservation sites within FRS • Made contact information updates where possible • Researched and purchased GPS unit

  23. FRS Update Work • Purchased GPS unit • Surveyed facilities • Reported facility updates • Produced semi-annual reports

  24. Facility Registration Deliverables • Updated tribal records • Improved data integrity for the EPA • Strengthened data sharing relationship between the EPA and Tribe • Found areas to improve • Data integrity and currentness • Facility entries

  25. Applicability to GIS • Allows spatial traceability of environmental regulation • Useful in web-map interfaces such as EnviroMapper • Assists in environmental management planning • Data availability at Geospatial One Stop

  26. Exchange Network Suggestions • Modify data framework • Service center vs. distributed data • Allow harvestable data to be posted
