The ArcGIS Pro Permitting and Environmental Information Tool (APPEIT) Project Package includes all of the layers that are in the NTIA Permitting and Environmental Information Application as well as the APPEIT Tool which will allow users to input a project area and determine what layers from the application overlap with it. An overview of the project package and the APPEIT tool is provided below. User instructions on how to use the tool are available here. Instructions now include how to customize the tool by adding your own data. A video explaining how to use the Project Package is also available here. Project Package OverviewThis map package includes all of the layers from the NTIA Permitting and Environmental Information Application. The layers included are all feature services from various Federal and State agencies. The map package was created with ArcGIS Pro 3.4.0. The map package was created to allow users easy access to all feature services including symbology. The map package will allow users to avoid downloading datasets individually and easily incorporate into their own GIS system. The map package includes three maps.1. Permitting and Environmental Information Application Layers for GIS Analysis - This map includes all of the map tabs shown in the application, except State Data which is provided in another tab. This map includes feature services that can be used for analysis with other project layers such as a route or project area. 2. Permitting and Environmental Information Application Layers – For Reference Only - This map includes layers that cannot be used for analysis since they are either imagery or tile layers.3. State Data - Reference Only - This map includes all relevant state data that is shown in the application.The NTIA Permitting and Environmental Information Application was created to help with your permitting planning and environmental review preparation efforts by providing access to multiple maps from publicly available sources, including federal review, permitting, and resource agencies. The application should be used for informational purposes only and is intended solely to assist users with preliminary identification of areas that may require permits or planning to avoid potentially significant impacts to environmental resources subject to the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and other statutory requirements. Multiple maps are provided in the application which are created from public sources. This application does not have an exhaustive list of everything you need for permitting or environmental review for a project but is an initial starting point to see what might be required.APPEIT Tool OverviewThe Department of Commerce’s National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) is providing the ArcGIS Pro Permitting and Environmental Information Tool (APPEIT) to help federal broadband grant recipients and subgrantees identify permits and environmental factors as they plan routes for their broadband deployments. Identifying permit requirements early, initiating pre-application coordination with permitting agencies, and avoiding environmental impacts help drive successful infrastructure projects. NTIA’s public release of the APPEIT tool supports government-wide efforts to improve permitting and explore how online and digital technologies can promote efficient environmental reviews. This Esri ArcGIS Pro tool is included in the map package and was created to support permitting, planning, and environmental review preparation efforts by providing access to data layers from publicly available sources, including federal review, permitting, and resource agencies. An SOP on how to use the tool is available here. For the full list of APPEIT layers, see Appendix Table 1 in the SOP. The tool is comprised of an ArcGIS Pro Project containing a custom ArcGIS Toolbox tool, linked web map shared by the NTIA’s National Broadband Map (NBAM), a report template, and a Tasks item to guide users through using the tool. This ArcGIS Pro project and its contents (maps and data) are consolidated into this (.ppkx) project file. To use APPEIT, users will input a project area boundary or project route line in a shapefile or feature class format. The tool will return as a CSV and PDF report that lists any federal layers from the ArcGIS Pro Permitting and Environmental Information Web Map that intersect the project. Users may only input a single project area or line at a time; multiple projects or project segments will need to be screened separately. For project route lines, users are required to specify a buffer distance. The buffer distance that is used for broadband projects should be determined by the area of anticipated impact and should generally not exceed 500 feet. For example, the State of Maryland recommends a 100-foot buffer for broadband permitting. The tool restricts buffers to two miles to ensure relevant results.

In this blog I’ll share the workflow and tools used in the GIS part of this analysis. To understand where crashes are occurring, first the dataset had to be mapped. The software of choice in this instance was ArcGIS, though most of the analysis could have been done using QGIS. Heat maps are all the rage, and if you want to make simple heat maps for free and you appreciate good documentation, I recommend the QGIS Heatmap plugin. There are also some great tools in the free open-source program GeoDa for spatial statistics.

Every published digital survey is designated as either ‘Final’, or ‘Provisional’, depending upon its status in a peer review process. Final surveys are peer reviewed with extensive quality control methods to confirm that field attributes reflect the most detailed and specific land-use classification available, following the standard DWR Land Use Legendspecific to the survey year. Data sets are considered ‘final’ following the reconciliation of peer review comments and confirmation by the originating Regional Office. During final review, individual polygons are evaluated using a combination of aerial photointerpretation, satellite image multi-spectral data and time series analysis, comparison with other sources of land use data, and general knowledge of land use patterns at the local level.Provisionaldata sets have been reviewed for conformance with DWR’s published data record format, and for general agreement with other sources of land use trends. Comments based on peer review findings may not be reconciled, and no significant edits or changes are made to the original survey data.The 2006 Trinity County land use survey data was developed by the State of California, Department of Water Resources (DWR) through its Division of Integrated Regional Water Management (DIRWM) and Division of Statewide Integrated Water Management (DSIWM). Land use boundaries were digitized and land use data was gathered by staff of DWR’s Northern Region using extensive field visits and aerial photography. The land uses that were mapped were detailed agricultural land uses, and lesser detailed urban and native vegetation land uses. The land use data went through standard quality control procedures before final processing. Quality control procedures were performed jointly by staff at DWR’s DSIWM headquarters and Northern Region, under the supervision of Tito Cervantes, Senior Land and Water Use Scientist. This data was developed to aid DWR’s ongoing efforts to monitor land use for the main purpose of determining current and projected water uses. The associated data are considered DWR enterprise GIS data, which meet all appropriate requirements of the DWR Spatial Data Standards, specifically the DWR Spatial Data Standards version 2.1, dated March 9, 2016. DWR makes no warranties or guarantees - either expressed or implied - as to the completeness, accuracy, or correctness of the data. DWR neither accepts nor assumes liability arising from or for any incorrect, incomplete, or misleading subject data. Comments, problems, improvements, updates, or suggestions should be forwarded to gis@water.ca.gov. This data represents a land use survey of Trinity County conducted by the California Department of Water Resources, Northern Region Office staff. Data development: Trinity County was surveyed using the 2005 one-meter resolution National Agriculture Imagery Program (NAIP) digital aerial photos from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Farm Services Agency as a base for line work. Digital 7.5’ quadrangle sized images were created from the 2005 NAIP imagery. In the spring of 2006, DWR's Northern Region staff digitized land use boundaries using AutoCAD Map software. The digital images and land use boundaries were copied onto laptop computers that were used as the field data collection tools. Staff visited all accessible fields to positively identify agricultural land uses. These site visits occurred between June and August 2006. Land use codes were digitized directly into the laptop computers in the field using AutoCAD Map (using a standardized digitizing process). Some staff took printed aerial photos into the field and wrote land use codes directly onto these photo field sheets. The data from the photo field sheets were digitized using AutoCAD Map back in the office. For both data gathering techniques, any land use boundary changes were noted and then corrected in the office. The primary focus of this land use survey is mapping agricultural fields. Urban residences and other urban areas were delineated using primarily aerial photo interpretation, so some urban areas may have been missed. In some rural residential areas, urban land use was delineated by drawing polygons to surround houses or other buildings along with a minimal area of land surrounding these structures. These footprint areas represent the locations of structures but do not represent the entire footprint of urban land. Sources of irrigation water were not mapped in this survey. The linework and attributes from each AutoCAD drawing file were brought into ArcInfo and both quadrangle and survey-wide coverages were created, and underwent quality checks. The coverages were converted to shapefiles using ArcView. After quality control procedures were completed on each file, the data was finalized. Before final processing, standard quality control procedures were performed jointly by staff at DWR's Northern District, and at DPLA headquarters under the leadership of Jean Woods, Senior Land and Water Use Supervisor. After quality control procedures were completed, the data was finalized. The positional accuracy of the digital line work, which is based upon the 2005 orthorectified NAIP imagery, is approximately 6 meters, but in some areas linework may be 10 meters from the actual location. The land use attribute accuracy for agricultural fields is high, because almost every delineated field was visited by a surveyor. The accuracy is 95 percent because some errors may have occurred. Possible sources of attribute errors are: a) Human error in the identification of crop types, b) Data entry errors.

Road segments within this layer represent centerlines of public and private (not gated) roadways. Road segments define left (_L) and right (_R) side attributes and address ranges along the segment. Additional attribute information may include:The full street name ST_DIR_NAM;the city or zip community [POSTCOMM_L]; The ZIP code POSTCODE_L; The jurisdiction (Incorporated Municipality) the segment is within [INCMUNI_L];The functional classification [F_CLASS] used; (ex: Interstate, Major Collector, Minor Arterial, Local)The route number [RT_NUM] containing a county road or highway number;The road maintenance provider or construction status [ST_OWNER];Fields used in routing [MPH, ONEWAY, _ELEV, _IM] and; the date that the road segment was created [DATE_CREATED] and last edited [DATE_MODIFIED].This information is was originally compiled from orthophotography in 2001 for use in Public Safety e911 response. Today it is used throughout the County and by the public to conduct business and assist in decision making.County and City staff update records daily or as needed (such as through subdivision plan review and approval using georeferenced CAD files provided by land developers). The road centerlines support address geocoding, analysis, routing and mapping.The centerline represents the geographic location on the roadway between both shoulders (physical center), which often, but not always coincides with the center painted line dividing bi-directional travel lanes. Roadway centerline data plays an important role in transportation management and planning, while also being the basis for all other roadway-related data products.This feature service is updated daily from its source ArcGIS Enterprise feature class. Source data within an Enterprise Geodatabase is accessed by County and City of Rock Hill staff through ArcGIS Server and Portal. When edited, business rules are enforced by BCS theAddresser software. York County has an Address Manual used by staff and stakeholders to ensure quality and standards are adhered to during maintenance and use.For additional information about county maintained roadways, review the County Road Inventory data or search for data through One Map. County staff maintain the relationship between streets and the County Road Inventory through the RT_NUM field. The street ownership [ST_OWNER] designation serves as a source to determine the maintenance provider by municipal public works agencies who actively manage the road assets. SCDOT roadways can be confirmed by reviewing data within their lookup application or their source data within our One Map application.Railroads are contained within the streets feature class to enable cross street lookup (geodcoding), a requirement for e911 dispatchers.Street segments outside the county are present for cartographic and Public Safety dispatch of nearest vehicle (routing) purposes. These can be filtered out and removedAddressing data (streets and addresses) are used to update the US Census Bureau Tiger data in support of the decennial census. As of October 2022, the schema of these data are compatible with NG911. Previous schema remains as of January 2023 with intent to remove fields tentatively planned for 2024. Review the schema field mapping document (PDF) to gain a better understanding of field mapping used to transition these data to NG911 standards. Continuing NG911 compliance projects include splitting the centerline as they cross the city limit. To assist York County, South Carolina in the maintenance of the data, please provide any information concerning discovered errors, omissions, or other discrepancies found in the data.
