NCRST-E TASKS
1. Assess viability of identifying, via remote sensing, features that influence design, construction, maintenance, and operation of transportation facilities.

NCRST-E TASKS
2. Assess cost & accuracy of current practices to accomplish these identification processes to form baseline against which remote sensing alternatives can be measured.

REMOTE SENSING and the CSX RAIL RELOCATION EIS NCRST-E GICAP 2002 Workshop Session 3
Proposed Products1. Wide area traffic phenomena to build better
forecast & simulation models2. Precisely locate transportation infrastructures,
wetlands, floral and faunal habitats, farmland, forests, geological features, & standing structures
3. Not included in this list, but appropriate additions, could be cultural resources, especially archaeological sites, and recreational resources
4. A digital terrain model5. Floodplains and evacuation routes6. Existing drainage structures.

What are our Tasks?
What data do we need and in what sequence?

Our No. 1 Task is to begin recording constraints and possible alignments. We cannot prepare an Environmental Impact Statement without a physical description of the project.
The No. 1 item that we need is a digital image of the corridor under study.

The No. 2 item that we need would be contours at intervals of 5 feet or less.
In Remote Sensing terms, we need a digital terrain model as soon as possible.

What other data is needed as soon as possible?The existing roadway traffic counts,
intersections and links, and the most up-to-date forecasts
Similar data for other modes
Land Use, especially to determine sensitive noise and air receptors
Wetlands
Floodplains
Water Quality
Air Quality
Ambient Noise
Environmental Justice
