Environmental GIS Program

• What Does the Environmental Section Do?
• Acts as the environmental watchdog for the
  CFLCC
• Maintains environmental situational awareness
  across the CENTCOM AOR
• Acts as the CENTCOM executing agent for
  environmental policy development in selected
  countries
• Develops environmental programs and policies for
  implementation across the CFLCC
• Tracks/manages critical environmental
  issues/incidents
• Monitors environmental activities across the
  CENTCOM AOR
• Conducts internal environmental program reviews
  inspections for CFLCC installations in the
  CENTCOM AOR
• As needed, provides forward deployed
  environmental support to the CFLCC
• Three contract personnel Environmental Program
  Manager, Environmental GIS Program Manager,
  Environmental Management Systems Manager.

Environmental GIS Program

• Why GIS?
• The requirement to track, manage monitor
  environmental activity in the CENTCOM AOR became
  an almost unmanageable task
• OIF/OEF resulted in hundreds of reported
  US/Coalition generated environmental incidents
  more happening each day
• The establishment of hundreds of
  temporary/enduring camps/facilities in the
  CENTCOM AOR significantly increased our facility
  oversight responsibilities
• C7 experience in OIF highlighted the value of
  GIS
• So
• In early 2003 the C7 identified the need for GIS
  support for environmental activities
• Soon after one GIS Program Manager position was
  added to the services contract and funds
  allocated for the purchase of GIS hardware
  software

• Environmental GIS Program Functions
• Improve environmental situational awareness
  across the CFLCC
• Track all environmental activities/incidents
  across the CENTCOM AOR in support of
• - soldier health
• - compliance with host nation/international law
  (liability avoidance)
• - compliance with DoD regulations
• - mitigation/remediation
• - Base Camp Master Planning (BCMP)
• - exercise/peacetime engagement support
• Provide environmental visualization support to
  CFLCC HQ
• Provide CAD/GIS integration in support of Base
  Camp Master Planning
• Interface with the CFLCC C2 for terrain
  visualization support
• In conjunction with the CLFCC C2, push
  development and implementation of a CFLCC
  geospatial data server

• Environmental GIS Program Issues
• Server development we need a Joint standard
  now for geospatial data server architecture (too
  much focus on the box)
• Enforcement of data standards business
  practices within the COE
• Better NGA data viewers inside standardized
  COTS software
• Realization that we now live in a SIPR world
  lets get everyone to standard
• Adding an environmental layer to data standards
