  1. West Virginia Division of Forestry (WVDOF) Logging Operation Notification, Inspection and Enforcement System (LONIE) Steve Harouff GIS Specialist West Virginia GIS Conference 2014

  2. Background The 1992 Logging Sediment Control Act (LSCA) requires all logging operations give notice to WVDOF WVDOF must inspect operations for compliance with Best Management Practices (BMPs) and other regulations Operations not in compliance can be issued Compliance orders Suspension orders Citations Process is very data and paperwork intensive West Virginia GIS Conference 2014

  3. Paper forms and maps West Virginia GIS Conference 2014

  4. Old Process Approximately 3,000 notifications annually About 220,000 acres • Duplicate data entry with lots of opportunity for typing errors West Virginia GIS Conference 2014

  5. Old Process Issues Had to maintain multiple databases that didn’t necessarily “talk” to each other Certified Loggers Timber License Holders Notifications Spatial information was limited Point data only Acre values on units often very roughly estimated Reporting process cumbersome/impossible Difficult to understand “what’s going on right now” West Virginia GIS Conference 2014

  6. LONIE Project Initial Funding from a WV DEP’s Nonpoint Source (NPS) §319 grant program – WVDOF and WVU AHC Modernize notifications, inspections, and enforcement process with an online system Minimize data repetition Use web mapping technologies and data collection Automate notification & inspection routing Personalize queues for inspections & enforcements West Virginia GIS Conference 2014

  7. Programming and Technical details Programming by Tim Bleech Interactive Developed in PHP w/ SQL database, hosted on IIS server OpenLayersJavascript API Open Source - http://openlayers.org Not limited to map provider Vector layer & drawing support Developed with guidance and feedback from WVDOF West Virginia GIS Conference 2014

  8. Mapping Technical Details Map Layer Sources ArcGIS Rest Services (Geographic Base Map) http://www.esri.com/software/arcgis/arcgisonline/maps/maps-and-map-layers WV DEP (Topo, Hydrology, Imagery) National Map (Topo) – http://nationalmap.gov Geospatial data export as KML West Virginia GIS Conference 2014

  9. Mapping Technical Details Projections SphericalMercator KML EPSG:4326 Display KML feature data parsed and displayed as Mercator ESRI GeometryService - Converts Landing coordinates from Latitude/Longitude to UTM for Forester Printing maps as PDF Because browsers don’t all print vector layers Feature colors and line widths for display on b/w printers West Virginia GIS Conference 2014

  10. New Web Based System West Virginia GIS Conference 2014

  11. User Interface West Virginia GIS Conference 2014

  12. Digital Maps and Forms West Virginia GIS Conference 2014

  13. Paper forms and maps West Virginia GIS Conference 2014

  14. New Notification West Virginia GIS Conference 2014

  15. Mapping Interface West Virginia GIS Conference 2014

  16. KML Export West Virginia GIS Conference 2014

  17. LONIE – Version 2.0 Funding provided by WV Geological and Economic Survey West Virginia Technical Assistance Broadband Grant Over 40 new features and work flow improvements Migration to new server at WVNET Advanced reporting Advanced search and filters on data grids On the fly acres calculation while drawing Map defaults/zooms to county of new notification PDF forms and documents West Virginia GIS Conference 2014

  18. LONIE Usage LONIE has been in place since Jan. 1st, 2013 Existing active jobs prior to Jan 1st were entered into system October 31st, 2013 google analytics installed 4,912 sessions with 79,279 page views = 16 pages /session 334 users 22 minutes for average session (mapping takes the longest) 4,041 notifications in the system currently Includes entered, completed, deleted jobs since Jan 1st, 2013 10,953 inspections West Virginia GIS Conference 2014

  19. LONIE Usage 1,409 Timber License Holders 70 DOF personnel LSCA Foresters, Supervisors, Specialists and Administrators Each user level has customized views that display only pertinent information to that user 1,615 Certified loggers in the system 30 Agency Partner Users with access DEP DOT OSHA State Tax West Virginia GIS Conference 2014

  20. Data Usage West Virginia GIS Conference 2014

  21. Data Usage West Virginia GIS Conference 2014

  22. Resource Estimates West Virginia GIS Conference 2014

  23. Research West Virginia GIS Conference 2014

  24. Impressions and advantages Easy to use Quick to enter most information Much less repetitive workflows Flexible as it can be accessed from anywhere with an internet connection Real time picture of current situation Managers have quick access to reports More accurate mapping in digital format Easily integrate geospatial data into DOF GIS Much more efficient system saving time and money West Virginia GIS Conference 2014
