This map service is available through CTECO, a partnership between UConn CLEAR and CT DEEP. This dataset is statewide, 1 foot impervious cover for the state. It was created to inform stormwater mapping requirements, called MS4 (learn more at the CT NEMO website), and has many uses beyond stormwater.

THIS DATA IS SUITABLE FOR GENERAL PLANNING AND VISUALIZATION PURPOSES. It is not comlete, exhaustive, current, and the spatial accuracy may not be suitable for many purposes.

Statewide 2016 Lidar points colorized with 2018 NAIP imagery as a scene created by Esri using ArcGIS Pro for the entire State of Connecticut. This service provides the colorized Lidar point in interactive 3D for visualization, interaction of the ability to make measurements without downloading.Lidar is referenced at https://cteco.uconn.edu/data/lidar/ and can be downloaded at https://cteco.uconn.edu/data/download/flight2016/. Metadata: https://cteco.uconn.edu/data/flight2016/info.htm#metadata. The Connecticut 2016 Lidar was captured between March 11, 2016 and April 16, 2016. Is covers 5,240 sq miles and is divided into 23, 381 tiles. It was acquired by the Captiol Region Council of Governments with funding from multiple state agencies. It was flown and processed by Sanborn. The delivery included classified point clouds and 1 meter QL2 DEMs. The 2016 Lidar is published on the Connecticut Environmental Conditions Online (CT ECO) website. CT ECO is the collaborative work of the Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection (DEEP) and the University of Connecticut Center for Land Use Education and Research (CLEAR) to share environmental and natural resource information with the general public. CT ECO's mission is to encourage, support, and promote informed land use and development decisions in Connecticut by providing local, state and federal agencies, and the public with convenient access to the most up-to-date and complete natural resource information available statewide.Process used:Extract Building Footprints from Lidar1. Prepare Lidar - Download 2016 Lidar from CT ECO- Create LAS Dataset2. Extract Building Footprints from LidarUse the LAS Dataset in the Classify Las Building Tool in ArcGIS Pro 2.4.Colorize LidarColorizing the Lidar points means that each point in the point cloud is given a color based on the imagery color value at that exact location.1. Prepare Imagery- Acquire 2018 NAIP tif tiles from UConn (originally from USDA NRCS).- Create mosaic dataset of the NAIP imagery.2. Prepare and Analyze Lidar Points- Change the coordinate system of each of the lidar tiles to the Projected Coordinate System CT NAD 83 (2011) Feet (EPSG 6434). This is because the downloaded tiles come in to ArcGIS as a Custom Projection which cannot be published as a Point Cloud Scene Layer Package.- Convert Lidar to zlas format and rearrange. - Create LAS Datasets of the lidar tiles.- Colorize Lidar using the Colorize LAS tool in ArcGIS Pro. - Create a new LAS dataset with a division of Eastern half and Western half due to size limitation of 500GB per scene layer package. - Create scene layer packages (.slpk) using Create Cloud Point Scene Layer Package. - Load package to ArcGIS Online using Share Package. - Publish on ArcGIS.com and delete the scene layer package to save storage cost.Additional layers added:Visit https://cteco.uconn.edu/projects/lidar3D/layers.htm for a complete list and links. 3D Buildings and Trees extracted by Esri from the lidarShaded Relief from CTECOImpervious Surface 2012 from CT ECONAIP Imagery 2018 from CTECOContours (2016) from CTECOLidar 2016 Download Link derived from https://www.cteco.uconn.edu/data/download/flight2016/index.htm
