1 GIS Data Cooperatives & Data Sharing The Hackensack Meadowlands District Model Presented by: Dom Elefante New Jersey Geo-Spatial Forum March 26, 2010 The New Jersey Meadowlands Commission Meadowlands Environmental Research Institute

2 AGENDA Overview of the Hackensack Meadowlands District Municipal GIS Outreach ERIS Emergency Response System Flooding Warning System (Inundation Maps) Permit Tracking Efficient Government (Cashiering) Municipal Asset Collection Work flow/ Inventory (Video & Vac Truck) Summary

3 Overview of the District New Jersey Meadowlands Commission Regional planning agency for portions of 14 municipalities Carlstadt, East Rutherford, Little Ferry, Lyndhurst, Moonachie, North Arlington, Ridgefield, Rutherford, South Hackensack, Teterboro, Jersey City, Kearny, North Bergen and Secaucus Jurisdiction name: Hackensack Meadowlands District ( District ) 30.4 square miles 113-square-mile watershed Land uses 39% wetlands/water 21% transportation 20% industrial/commercial 10% altered lands 10% other

4 Overview of the District We exist to: Protect the delicate balance of nature Provide for orderly development Provide facilities for the disposal of solid waste

5 Local Governments Share Information at the Regional Level As a regional planning agency, we develop systems that would otherwise be unaffordable to individual municipalities High capital cost Operational costs Highly specialized staff Towns benefit by having access to new and efficient information technology to serve their residents, and the planning agency benefits by collecting valuable planning data and organizing information to State standards so that everyone uses the same up-todate information.

6 Types of Information Services Shared Online applications that deliver information in the form of existing municipal infrastructure, variance notifications, and zoning and land use inventories. Emergency response systems that show buildings containing hazardous materials, inform of critical tide gate functioning and generate flood warnings. Online flooding portal where both user & emergency personnel can access critical flood data, including flooding scenarios in the event of surge-induced floods. On-line permit tracking & development review/approval that allows developers to access pending transactions. Municipal asset collection and CO-OP shared services, involving the use of the video truck, GPS & the vacuum truck.

20 Flooding 90% of the District is less than 2 feet from the high water mark

21 Flooding County OEMs receive static inundation (flooding) maps that will notify emergency officials of potential storm and its effects Web (Flooding) portal will serve as a central resource for constituent towns to view the same data from the maps, including other resources available from this portal Active warning module where officials can access flood data warn constituent municipalities of impending surge Pre-canned queries will be available in future version (i.e. Address search, flood incidents, etc.)

26 Permit Tracking ~ 800 permits are reviewed/ processed within the District annually

27 Permit Tracking (CityView) Land Use Management (LUM) Enforcement of the N.J. Meadowlands Commission zoning and subdivision regulations, as well as the Uniform Construction Code Review (approval/denial) of development permit applications Property and pertinent application information tracked in CityView,a fully functional database that relates any type of information to property-based information. Examples of the information stored in CityView include: Property Information - Block, Lot, Address, Zoning, Land Use, Owner, Tenants, Property Photos; Application Details - Application Number, Application Type, Status, Assigned Engineer/Planner, Applicant Contact Information, Fees and Payments; Application Activity - Reviews, Meetings, Letters/Permits Sent, Letters/Correspondence Received, Telephone Conversations, Inspections GIS Interface (connect to parcel data from SDE)

29 Municipal Asset Collection NJMC COOP & Shared Services

30 Municipal Asset Collection (WinCAN) Inventory of all utilities within the HMD Provide COOP services to member towns (Video of lines, vacuum, etc.) Web application for services & jobs to be completed Same day sewer/ storm pipeline video inspections Direct connection to GIS Toggle data between inspections, reports & GIS Towns assets: Carlstadt - Carlstadt Sanitary/Stormwater Manholes (100%), Catchbasins (10%), Sanitary Lines (50%), Outfalls (100%), Fire Hydrants (100%) ; East Rutherford - Sanitary/Stormwater Manholes (100%), Catchbasins (100%), Sanitary Lines (100%), Fire Hydrants (100%) ; Kearny - Sanitary/Stormwater Manholes (100%), Catchbasins (100%), Sanitary Lines (50%), Stormwater Lines (25%), Fire Hydrants (100%) ; Little Ferry - Sanitary/Stormwater Manholes (100%), Outfalls (100%), Fire Hydrants (100%) ; Lyndhurst - Sanitary/Stormwater Manholes (100%), Catchbasins (100%), Fire Hydrants (100%) ; Moonachie - Sanitary/Stormwater Manholes (100%), Fire Hydrants (100%) ; North Arlington - Sanitary/Stormwater Manholes (100%), Fire Hydrants (100%) ; North Bergen - Sanitary/Stormwater Manholes (100%), Catchbasins (100%), Sanitary Lines (100%), Stormwater Lines (100%), Outfalls (100%), Fire Hydrants (100%) ; Ridgefield - Sanitary/Stormwater Manholes (100%), Catchbasins (100%), Sanitary Lines (100%), Stormwater Lines (100%), Fire Hydrants (100%) ; Rutherford - Sanitary/Stormwater Manholes (100%), Sanitary Lines (100%), Fire Hydrants (100%) ; Secaucus - Sanitary/Stormwater Manholes (100%), Catchbasins (10%), Sanitary Lines (100%), Fire Hydrants (100%) ; South Hackensack - Sanitary/Stormwater Manholes (100%), Catchbasins (100%), Sanitary Lines (100%), Stormwater Lines (100%), Outfalls (10%), Fire Hydrants (100%) ; Teterboro - Sanitary/Stormwater Manholes (100%), Catchbasins (100%), Sanitary Lines (100%), Stormwater Lines (100%), Fire Hydrants (100%) Phone/On-line Equipment Request and Inspection Tracking Jet & Vacuum clean-up for pipelines and basins Complete inspection reports Access to on-line Historical Inspection Database, Maps, Photos and Reports 24/7 Emergency services GPS Utility Mapping & GIS Integration

33 Utility/ Municipal Assets & Mapping (WinCAN) Camera Truck capable of taking video footage of sewer/storm lines for municipalities

34 Utility/ Municipal Assets & Mapping (WinCAN) Jet-Vac Truck capable of removing debris that may be clogging sewer lines or storm drains

35 In Summary Municipalities have access to information on more than 100,000 properties Town-specific property information is routinely updated from data provided by the County Board of Taxation Systems provide variance notifications and zoning, land use and infrastructure tracking Municipalities have received workstations and laptops to access this information, and more than 45 Municipal officials are trained each year in the use of these applications Officials can also borrow high-accuracy GPS equipment and be trained for asset collection of utilities (manholes, fire hydrants, utility poles, signs, catch basins, stormwater lines, outfalls), which are then included in their interactive maps Emergency officials have access 24/7 to water levels and water quality as well as real-time tide gate functioning reports, and they receive warnings and maps showing areas and properties affected by floods

36 Summary (Outlook) Inventory of all utilities within the HMD (Assist towns in completion) Integrate new version of video inspection software (IT) so towns can manage & more effectively identify areas of concern Flood portal & mapping application to provide easy-to-use tools to assess & quantify damages Continued updates of seamless parcel data so everyone in the State, County & Municipal levels are using the same data Integrate cashiering for an effective management of permits Use new technology/ data to accurately model flood scenarios (e.g., flooding maps)
