The Commonwealth
![Page 3: Western PA GIS Conference 2004 27 August 2004 Commonwealth GIS/GT: A New Approach](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062519/56815525550346895dc30288/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Definition• A Commonwealth is a state in which the
government functions with the common consent of the people. In other words, municipality legislation is "law of the land" over county policy, which matters more than state level decree.
• In Pennsylvania, this means that local governments hold the majority of political power and decision making. Home rule shifts much of the responsibility for local government from the state legislature to the local community. A county that adopts a home rule charter has the ability to amend its governmental organization and powers to suit its needs. A home rule charter is, in essence, a local constitution.
![Page 4: Western PA GIS Conference 2004 27 August 2004 Commonwealth GIS/GT: A New Approach](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062519/56815525550346895dc30288/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania:
A diverse physiographic and cultural “state”, rich in history, a paradox
of major urban areas and rural agrarian communities,
ranks 6th in population and 33rd in land area.

PA GIS/GT Coordination• Rendell Administration appointed
the Commonwealth’s first State GIS Coordinator in October 2003
• Primary goal of the State GIS Coordinator is to provide leadership, strategic planning, and coordination for GIS/GT across the Commonwealth, including state agencies, local governments, and all other GIS/GT stakeholders
![Page 8: Western PA GIS Conference 2004 27 August 2004 Commonwealth GIS/GT: A New Approach](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062519/56815525550346895dc30288/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Building the PA Geospatial Framework
Starting to build enterprise GIS capabilities across the Commonwealth
![Page 9: Western PA GIS Conference 2004 27 August 2004 Commonwealth GIS/GT: A New Approach](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062519/56815525550346895dc30288/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
First Things First - Data• Data is #1 Cost of GIS• Little or no coordination between feds,
state agencies, local governments• Statewide data sets are not current,
not accurate enough• Data is not shared across jurisdictional
boundaries as it should be• Funding overlaps at all levels of
government wastes taxpayer dollars• Local governments create best, most
current and accurate GIS data today
![Page 10: Western PA GIS Conference 2004 27 August 2004 Commonwealth GIS/GT: A New Approach](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062519/56815525550346895dc30288/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Statewide Data Priorities
1. Aerial Imagery2. Elevation Data3. Roads4. Parcels5. Hydrography6. Buildings7. Homeland Security CI Layers
![Page 11: Western PA GIS Conference 2004 27 August 2004 Commonwealth GIS/GT: A New Approach](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062519/56815525550346895dc30288/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Statewide Imagery Status
![Page 12: Western PA GIS Conference 2004 27 August 2004 Commonwealth GIS/GT: A New Approach](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062519/56815525550346895dc30288/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Statewide Imagery• Updated imagery drives updates to
intelligent GIS data layers, improving accuracy and currency – parcels, roads, other infrastructure and public works, public safety/critical infrastructure
• Imagery also provides a visual context for GIS analysis. We don’t model the earth’s surface, only a small portion of it in GIS intelligent data layers. Imagery fills in the rest of the information, allows us to do remote sensing and feature extraction.
![Page 13: Western PA GIS Conference 2004 27 August 2004 Commonwealth GIS/GT: A New Approach](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062519/56815525550346895dc30288/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Statewide Imagery
• Only statewide imagery asset today are Digital Ortho Quarter Quads, dated 1993-1999, 1:12,000 scale, 1m pixels, black and white imagery
• NAIP 2004 – Partnering with USDA/FSA this summer to do a complete statewide flight, LEAF-ON, delivery by 12/2004. 1:12,000 scale, 1m pixels, color infrared imagery
![Page 14: Western PA GIS Conference 2004 27 August 2004 Commonwealth GIS/GT: A New Approach](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062519/56815525550346895dc30288/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Statewide Imagery• PAMAP Imagery – next generation
imagery for the Commonwealth– Accuracy Standards: 1:2,400 scale
minimum, 2ft pixel minimum – OR BETTER– 3 year cycle of imagery – complete
imagery statewide in next 3 years, if we can raise enough money
– State agencies to pay for statewide imagery and elevation data, saving counties and municipalities money, allowing them to concentrate on data creation
– Data sharing – counties share parcels, roads, buildings, hydro, etc.
![Page 15: Western PA GIS Conference 2004 27 August 2004 Commonwealth GIS/GT: A New Approach](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062519/56815525550346895dc30288/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)

Statewide Elevation Status
![Page 17: Western PA GIS Conference 2004 27 August 2004 Commonwealth GIS/GT: A New Approach](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062519/56815525550346895dc30288/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Statewide Elevation Status
![Page 18: Western PA GIS Conference 2004 27 August 2004 Commonwealth GIS/GT: A New Approach](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062519/56815525550346895dc30288/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Statewide Elevation Data• Current statewide elevation data sets
are 30 meter grid size. Most used statewide Digital Elevation Model has been 10-year old DEM derived from scanning topographic quad sheets – which dated from the 60’s and 70’s. Incomplete 10m DEM derived from same old and inaccurate topo data. Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM) data from 2000 is also 30m, more accurate and current, but not good enough to generate 5’ contours statewide.
![Page 19: Western PA GIS Conference 2004 27 August 2004 Commonwealth GIS/GT: A New Approach](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062519/56815525550346895dc30288/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Statewide Elevation Data• Flooding is PA’s #1 hazard• Hundreds of millions of dollars in
damages every year• Current elevation data does not allow
us to accurately define 100 year and 500 year floodplains
• Citizens paying for flood insurance (NFIP) who don’t need it, some people who need it can’t get it because of inaccurate elevation data. Need 2’ data for river basins.
• Also required for economic development siting, landuse, public lands preservation, state water budget, etc.

PA Geospatial Data Sharing Standards
• Version 1.0 Data Standards will reflect PAMAP/TNM Data Layers (Digital Topo)
• Highest Common Denominator for data sharing, horizontally and vertically
• V 1.0 leveraging investments by PAMAGIC in PAMAP Data Standards initiatives and best practices for local government handbook
• Incorporating additional fields for use cases, HSIP, classifications, etc.
• Draft in 2004
![Page 33: Western PA GIS Conference 2004 27 August 2004 Commonwealth GIS/GT: A New Approach](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062519/56815525550346895dc30288/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Enterprise Assets• Enterprise GDT License
– As we wait for statewide road network to be created by PENNDOT with data and cooperation from counties, GDT will be used for geocoding, mapping, potentially routing (PSP). Data made available to all state governments and first responders until 6/2007, paid for by state agencies.
• GT Enterprise Architecture (state agencies)– Citrix server for desktop GIS access– Centralized data repository– Web services – intranet and Internet – data
serving to all state agencies and potentially to external first responders
– Build Homeland Security Common Operating Picture
![Page 34: Western PA GIS Conference 2004 27 August 2004 Commonwealth GIS/GT: A New Approach](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062519/56815525550346895dc30288/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
