Reporter for MRGPThe Reporter for MRGP doesn't require you to download any apps to complete an inventory; all you need is an internet connection and web browser. The Reporter includes culverts and bridges from VTCULVERTS, town highways from Vtrans and the current status of the MRGP segments and outlets on the map.MRGP Fieldworker SolutionNotes on MRGP fieldworker solution: July 12, 2021. The MRGP map now displays the current status of road segments and outlets. Fieldworkers using the MRGP solution should remove the offline map area(s) from their device, and keep their new offline map current, by syncing their map. Enabling auto-sync will get you the current segment or outlet status automatically. See FAQ section below for more information. Road Erosion Inventory forms are available and have a new look and feel this year. The drainage ditch survey is broken out into three pages for a better user experience. The first page contains survey and segment information, the second; the inventory, and the third; barriers to implementation. You will notice the questions are outlined by section so it’s easier to follow along too. The questions have remained the same. Survey123 has a new option requiring users to update surveys on their mobile device. That option has been enabled for the two MRGP Survey123 forms. Step 1: Download the free mobile appsFor fieldworkers to collect and submit data to VT DEC, two free apps are required: ArcGIS Collector or Field Maps and Survey123. ArcGIS Collector or Field Maps is used first to locate the segment or outlet for inventory, and Survey123, for completing the Road Erosion Inventory. ArcGIS Field Maps is ESRI’s new all-in-one app for field work and will replace ArcGIS Collector. You can download ArcGIS Collector or ArcGIS Fields Maps and Survey123 from the Google Play Store.You can download ArcGIS Collector or ArcGIS Field Maps and Survey123 from Apple Store.

The location where I'm doing inventory does not have a data coverage (LTE or 4G). What can I do?ArcGIS Collector allows you take map areas offline when you think there will be spotty or no data coverage. I made a video to demonstrate the steps for taking map areas offline - https://youtu.be/OEsJrCVT8BISurvey123 operates offline by default but you need to download the survey. My recommendation is to test the fieldworker solution (Steps 1-5) before you go into the field but don't submit the test survey.Where can I download the Road Erosion Scoring shown on the the Atlas? You can download the scoring for both outlets and road segments through the VT Open Geodata Portal.https://geodata.vermont.gov/maps/VTANR::mrgp-scoring-open-data/aboutHow do I use my own ArcGIS Collector map for launching the official MRGP REI survey form? You can use the following custom url for launching Survey123, open the REI and prepopulate answers in the form. More information is here.

Data can also be exported for offline workflows. For more information about ACS layers, visit the FAQ. Please cite the Census and ACS when using this data.Data Note from the Census:Data are based on a sample and are subject to sampling variability. The degree of uncertainty for an estimate arising from sampling variability is represented through the use of a margin of error. The value shown here is the 90 percent margin of error. The margin of error can be interpreted as providing a 90 percent probability that the interval defined by the estimate minus the margin of error and the estimate plus the margin of error (the lower and upper confidence bounds) contains the true value. In addition to sampling variability, the ACS estimates are subject to nonsampling error (for a discussion of nonsampling variability, see Accuracy of the Data). The effect of nonsampling error is not represented in these tables.Data Processing Notes:This layer is updated automatically when the most current vintage of ACS data is released each year, usually in December. The layer always contains the latest available ACS 5-year estimates. It is updated annually within days of the Census Bureau's release schedule.

Boundaries are updated at the same time as the data updates (annually), and the boundary vintage appropriately matches the data vintage as specified by the Census. These are Census boundaries with water and/or coastlines erased for cartographic and mapping purposes. For census tracts, the water cutouts are derived from a subset of the 2020 Areal Hydrography boundaries offered by TIGER. Water bodies and rivers which are 50 million square meters or larger (mid to large sized water bodies) are erased from the tract level boundaries, as well as additional important features. For state and county boundaries, the water and coastlines are derived from the coastlines of the 2023 500k TIGER Cartographic Boundary Shapefiles. These are erased to more accurately portray the coastlines and Great Lakes.

Please cite the Census and ACS when using this data.Data Note from the Census:Data are based on a sample and are subject to sampling variability. The degree of uncertainty for an estimate arising from sampling variability is represented through the use of a margin of error. The value shown here is the 90 percent margin of error. The margin of error can be interpreted as providing a 90 percent probability that the interval defined by the estimate minus the margin of error and the estimate plus the margin of error (the lower and upper confidence bounds) contains the true value. In addition to sampling variability, the ACS estimates are subject to nonsampling error (for a discussion of nonsampling variability, see Accuracy of the Data). The effect of nonsampling error is not represented in these tables.Data Processing Notes:This layer is updated automatically when the most current vintage of ACS data is released each year, usually in December.
