Coeur d’Alene Tribe, Idaho
Overview• Coeur d’Alene Tribe
located in Plummer, Idaho
• Six employees in GIS staff
• Have worked with Exchange Network since 2003
2
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
3
First Grant• Agricultural Burning, Smoke Management• Pesticide Inspection Management• Received in 2003—3 year project
4
Smoke Management Goals• Develop tool to
manage agricultural burning on the reservation
• Develop infrastructure to exchange data
• Collect baseline data
5
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
6
Data Development• Mosaic work done on
orthophotography• Field
ownership/boundaries determined by Common Land Unit (CLU) and Public Land Survey (PLS)
7
BlueSky Data Integration• Predictive modeling
grid to estimate the cumulative effects of vegetative burning
• Data harvested to assess potential smoke conditions
8
Smoke Tool Development• Web-based tracking
mechanism– Burners– Permits– Fields
• Identify fields appropriate to burn– Prediction of smoke
movement– Available, permitted fields
9
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
19
Second Grant• Facility Registration System (FRS) Updates• One year project awarded in 2007
20
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 registered21
Need for Improvement• Over 90
registered facilities throughout Reservation
• Only 1/3 of sites had spatial data—often incorrect
22
Need for Improvement
Plummer Forest Products
23
FRS Prep-Work• Took inventory of Reservation sites within
FRS• Made contact information updates where
possible• Researched and purchased GPS unit
24
FRS Update Work• Purchased GPS unit• Surveyed facilities• Reported facility updates• Produced semi-annual
reports
25
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
26
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
27
Exchange Network Suggestions• Modify data framework• Service center vs. distributed data• Allow harvestable data to be posted
