Major Projects
Washington State Continuous Airport System Plan: Project involved scanning aerial photography, warping to correct geographical location and creating the ALP (Airport Layout Plans) set of drawings from the photographs for 13 Airports in Washington State.
Oregon State Department of Transportation: Mitigation project at Dalton Lake, Oregon. Assisted in the gathering of field data for wetland mitigation. Field data was gathered on 6 100-meter lines. Field data was added to the GIS database (120 total collection points). An aerial photograph was scanned and warped to the survey base map to identify different plant community polygons. Every year the data will be collected and added to the database to conduct water level and plant community analysis to aid in the mitigation plan. We received a letter of accommodation from the Department of Transportation for this project.
