Critical Role of GIS for TMDL
• How GIS is being used– It’s more than just creating maps– Perform spatial analysis and prepare model inputs
• Examples of important layers include:– Land use/land cover – Soils– Hydrography – Topography/elevation– Weather stations – Monitoring locations
• Examples of derived analysis include:– Subwatershed delineation – Weather patterns – Land use-soil overlay – Slope– Degree of land disturbance

GIS Layer Needs for TMDL
• A comprehensive map of Tahoe Basin land uses from a water quality modeling perspective
• Greater detail supporting representation of land management practices in vegetated areas (Which comprise >80% of basin)
• Updated information on recent landusechanges

Major Contributions since 2001 TRG Consolidation Effort
• TRPA/Lake Tahoe GIS Users Group– Ownership parcel delineation– IKONOS Impervious layer development
• Forest Service– Basin-wide roads and trails layers update– Vegetative cover updates– ERAs for burned and harvested lands

How do we best represent Roads?
• Unpaved Roads & Trails– Surface cover and width information available
from LTBMU’s INFRA database– Basinwide average trail width (2 ft)
• Primary & Secondary Roads– Highways represented primary roads– IKONOS hard-cover grid generally gives best
representation of secondary roads widths

A little Closer-to-Home…
We are Here

1. Edit parcel boundary layer
Turn off roads right-of-ways
Delineate ski runs within ski area parcels
Remaining areas become Veg_Unimpacted

2. Superimpose campgrounds

3. Superimpose hard-cover layer
![Page 16: Tahoe TMDL Symposium December 9, 2004...GIS Layer Needs for TMDL • A comprehensive map of Tahoe Basin land uses from a water quality modeling perspective • Greater detail supporting](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022060917/60aa064397e69f18f5465eba/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
4. Differentiate hard-cover intersects
• Distinguish primary (highways) and secondary roads grid cells
• Impervious grids intersecting any urban category becomes impervious counterpart (i.e. Residential pervious & impervious)
• Any few remaining hard-cover in vegetated lands is considered Secondary Road

5. Overlay unpaved roads & trails

Trails

6. Overlay harvested & burned area
Shades indicate degree of burn severity (ERA)

7. Tabulate land use area by subbasin
![Page 20: Tahoe TMDL Symposium December 9, 2004...GIS Layer Needs for TMDL • A comprehensive map of Tahoe Basin land uses from a water quality modeling perspective • Greater detail supporting](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022060917/60aa064397e69f18f5465eba/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Current status of composite landuselayer used for TMDL
• Spatially consistent with previous land use layers
• In many areas, higher level of detail and accuracy• Identified selected items for refinement for next phase of
the TMDL– Refine roads in selected areas– Revisit parcel boundary vs. actual land use for other categories
(i.e. single & multi-family residential lots)
The layer looks great! I was relieved to see how well this layer matched up with our… 2002. [The layer] is going to be really helpful in increasing our initial accuracy as well as speed-up the interpretation process.

Thank you for the Tabulated SWM [landuse] areas. I am going to compare them to our old matrix -I bet there is great improvement!
