IGI&S Proponent: OACSIM Installation Services Directorate –

Environmental Division (DAIM-ISE)

Installation Functional SME: ENV SME or equivalent

Data Steward: ENV SME or equivalent

Prioritization: Army CIP Priority 1

1.2 Feature Description

An environmental sample location is the physical location at which environmental samples are collected. The intent of the sample is to determine the need for a response action, determine whether a response action is operating as intended, or to determine when a response action has met the cleanup objectives that are protective for the intended use of the property. For groundwater cleanups, time-series data is often required, so multiple samples from the same location (e.g., monitoring well) are collected. For soil cleanups, there are some cases where source areas are being removed and confirmation samples are collected to determine if the soil cleanup levels were met.

Environmental field sampling may also be used to demonstrate compliance with permitting requirements. Environmental compliance sampling may include air, water, and waste materials.

1.3 Characterization

Environmental sample locations represent the locations of samples that assist in the determination of the properties and potential for contamination. The primary purpose of this data layer is for environmental restoration related sites and characterization. One sample location will be captured in the geospatial data layer with a link to one to many records in Headquarters Army

Environmental System (HQAES) that store information about individual samplings (i.e. date, results). Mapping of this geospatial data layer will result in an improved and expanded database, which is critical for long-term strategic management and monitoring. Accurate depiction of current field samples will allow for the rapid identification of areas for future surveying and building of action plans to manage those areas properly.

3.0 REPRESENTATION

3.1 Geographic Representation

Environmental sample location features should be stored in the SDSFIE 3.1 Army Adaptation

EnvironmentalSampleLocation feature type, which was created to store the physical point at which an environmental sample is collected. The SDSFIE 3.1 Army Adaptation utilizes this feature type’s default geometry of point. Use of alternate geometries is not allowed for the

EnvironmentalSampleLocation feature type. If an installation requires the use of a subclass to the EnvironmentalSampleLocation feature type to properly store environmental sample location features, a new subclass must be created in accordance with the Army IGI&S Program SDSFIE

Implementation Guidance.

The environmental sample location geospatial data layer will include discrete points that represent the physical location at which samples are collected for the purpose of supporting environmental restoration or compliance.

3.2 Positional Accuracy

Environmental sample location features must, at a minimum, meet a level of positional accuracy for depiction on a 1:5,000 scale cartographic product. The minimum absolute horizontal accuracy for environmental sample location features is 1.25 meters. The horizontal accuracy must be compiled, tested, and reported in accordance with Part 3 of the Federal Geographic Data

Committee's Geospatial Positioning Accuracy Standards: the National Standard for Spatial Data

Accuracy (NSSDA). Spatial accuracy must be reported at the 95% confidence level. The spatial accuracy standard is available at http://www.fgdc.gov/standards/standards_publications/index_html. Vertical accuracy is not currently tested for the environmental sample location geospatial data layer.

3.3 Logical Consistency

Environmental sample location features should be single or composite points. Composite samples typically demonstrate less variability than single sampling points and can be used to http://www.apd.army.mil/ http://www.epa.gov/oem/lawsregs.htm http://www.fgdc.gov/standards/standards_publications/index_html better understand spatial distribution in the environment. Multiple increments or subsamples from single locations are combined into the composite sample that is analyzed. Overlapping sample locations are allowed but should be attributed properly to uniquely identify each sample point.

3.4 Completeness

This geospatial data layer must include all environmental sample location features within the installation’s site(s) boundary or the boundary of land owned, leased, or held by the installation and may include features adjacent to or contiguous to the boundary if a business case exists.

The environmental sample location geospatial data layer will contain attribute fields in accordance with the current OACSIM approved Army Adaptation to the current SDSFIE version. Although all attribute fields must exist in the attribute table, only those attribute fields listed in Table 4 - Required Populated Attributes, are required to be populated.

3.5 Temporal Representation

The environmental sample location geospatial data layer will reflect existing conditions. Updates to the completed environmental sample location geospatial data layer will occur when existing environmental sample locations are changed or when environmental sample locations are added or removed from the installation. At a minimum, the environmental sample location geospatial data layer will be updated annually.

3.6 Spatial Reference

The bounding coordinates to capture the north, south, east, and west-most spatial extents of the environmental sample location geospatial data layer will be based on one of the following: a)

Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) Zone, meters or b) local State Plane Coordinate System, feet. At a minimum, feature types within the database should have a spatial reference with a precision of 1,000. The horizontal datum to be utilized is World Geodetic System 1984

(WGS84), and the vertical datum shall be Mean Sea Level (MSL) as determined by the Earth

Gravitational Model 2008 (EGM2008) Geoid.

4.0 VALID SOURCES AND SOURCE SELECTION CRITERIA

Information for the environmental sample location geospatial data layer must be obtained and/or validated at the installation level from the environmental SME, or equivalent. The environmental

SME will have overall responsibility for completing and updating the spatial, attribute and metadata features of the environmental sample location geospatial data layer in accordance with this QAP. In all cases, the Data Steward should work with the SME to identify the most reliable source for the environmental sample location geospatial data layer.

4.1 Feature Specific Sources and Toolsets

The following sources of data will be considered for capturing new geospatial data collection efforts or updating existing geospatial data. These sources are to be used in conjunction with the sources listed in the Valid Sources and Source Selection Criteria section of the QAP General

Guidance document: https://www.us.army.mil/suite/doc/43327385.

Environmental Reporting Information System (ERIS) – Data may be extracted or queried from existing ERIS tables.

Electronic Data Deliverables (EDD) – Project-specific EDD’s such as Staged

Electronic Data Deliverable (SEDD) that have not been entered into ERIS.

Site Inspection and Remedial Investigation Reports – Manual data entry may be required where EDD’s were not prepared for historic documents.

5.0 HQDA SOURCE DATABASES

The Headquarters Department of the Army (HQDA) source database is the authoritative, auditable source of information where data is recorded. Properly utilizing HQDA source databases is crucial to maintaining accurate and relevant information. Maintaining duplicative databases is inefficient, undermines the reliability of the information, and creates unsustainable business processes. Departments within HQDA are currently collaborating to ensure business systems are interoperable to ensure reduced redundancy.

Real Property Database of Record

HQDA maintains the Headquarters Installation Information System (HQIIS), a repository of Army real property assets and related data. HQIIS contains active Army, Army National Guard (ARNG), United States Army Reserve (USAR), and United

States Army Corps of Engineer (USACE) military real property inventory data and related data.

Headquarters Installation Information System: HQIIS is an Army enterprise level comprehensive information repository and the Army’s authoritative source for Real Property Installation, Site, Enclave, Complex and Base data supporting the Installation, Energy and Environment (IE&E) business domain. HQIIS is the single Army system interfacing with OSD’s Site and Asset Registry system and key Army systems. HQIIS is the central ‘hub’ for data exchanges satisfying statutory and regulatory requirements between OACSIM and its business related systems as well as providing the ability to analyze Army’s Real Property data.

HQIIS is populated from the following installation level real property databases:

General Fund Enterprise Business System (GFEBS), Planning Resource

Infrastructure Development and Evaluation (PRIDE), Real Estate Management

Information System (REMIS) and Rental Facility Management Information

System (RFMIS).

Environmental Database of Record

Headquarters Army Environmental System (HQAES) is the enterprise information system that enables the Army to collect, analyze, and report environmental data in an efficient and effective manner.

Headquarters Army Environmental System: HQAES is the authoritative environmental database of record for the Army Environmental Program. Users at any level can see and use their environmental data in HQAES. This system utilizes technology with sufficient tools to support Army Headquarters, Commands, and installation needs. The data collected for reporting is transparent and supports interoperability. HQAES collects all data once and distributes the information to several enterprise and feeder systems.

6.0 SPECIFICATIONS FOR GRAPHIC ENTITIES AND

ATTRIBUTES

The DoD I&E community has been operating in compliance with the SDSFIE data model since

FY07. The SDSFIE 3.1 Army Adaptation is the current geospatial data standard for the Army

IGI&S community. Further guidance pertaining to the implementation of the SDSFIE 3.1 Army

Adaptation can be found in the guide listed below.

6.2 Attribute Tables

In order to comply with DoD and Army IGI&S Program geospatial data standards, all attributes must exist in the EnvironmentalSampleLocation feature type; however, not all of the attribute fields are required to be populated in every feature type. Table 4 identifies the attribute fields required to be populated for environmental sample locations, their definitions, acceptable values, and the authoritative data source from where the attribute value should originate. In addition to https://hqaes.army.mil/my.policy https://www.us.army.mil/suite/doc/42118840 the attributes listed in Table 4, the geometry-appropriate SDSFIE 3.1 Gold Foundational attributes must be present in the feature type schema. See the QAP General Guidance for more information about Foundational and Common attributes.

GIS databases are the authoritative data source for only feature level latitude and longitude attribute data. Other feature level attribute data must be properly obtained from its appropriate authoritative data source, per guidance in this QAP, and not maintained in a GIS attribute table.

Departments within OACSIM are currently collaborating to ensure all vital data is stored and maintained in its proper business system. When connectivity with HQDA source databases is established, only those attribute fields whose source database is “IGI&S Generated” will be stored in the geospatial database. As such, attributes identified as belonging in HQAES but not currently located in HQAES, have been placed into a section in attribute table titled “Pending

HQAES Interface”. These attributes should continue to be collected and maintained utilizing guidance in this QAP until new guidance is published indicating their placement in HQAES.
