+ 3D Elevation Program (3DEP) Claire DeVaughan USGS National Geospatial Program National Map Liaison for Texas and Oklahoma June 7, 2017
3DEP is a Partnership Program + 2 ■ Address the mission-critical requirements of 34 Federal agencies, 50 states, and other organizations documented in the National Enhanced Elevation Assessment (NEEA) ■ Return on investment 5:1 ■ A partnership that depends on the collaboration of Federal, state, regional, local, and tribal partners to fund the data acquisition ■ Leverage the capability and capacity of private industry mapping firms ■ Achieve a 25% cost efficiency gain by collecting data in larger projects ■ Completely refresh national elevation data holdings to replace the patchwork of data with consistent new lidar-derived products and services Precision Farming Land Navigation Geologic Resources and Flood Risk Mitigation Natural Resource Infrastructure Hazards Mitigation Conservation Management and Safety

Where has lidar data been collected? U.S. Interagency Elevation Inventory (USIEI) Interagency Collaboration www.coast.noaa.gov/inventory USGS leads the topographic component by leveraging on-the- landscape knowledge of the USGS National Map Liaison network NOAA (Bathy-Lead), FEMA, USACE, USFS, NRCS, NPS Improves understanding of the nation’s lidar landscape Active updates are critical to assessing progress toward 3DEP goals

3DEP + 8 READY for a national, 8-year program ■ Published plan for action based on extensive stakeholder input ■ Issued the first Broad Agency Announcement in 2014/15, in partnership with FEMA and NRCS; fourth round soon to be in progress ■ USGS Contracting vehicle (GPSC3) has been established to address increased data 5 meter Alaska DEMs Alaska Ifsar ORIs volume nationwide ■ Revised the base lidar specification to include 3DEP quality levels, V 1.3 of spec is in review ■ New products and services being made Alaska Ifsar DSMs 1 meter DEMs available from The National Map Lidar Point Cloud
+ 9 3DEP Maximize Project Benefits and Minimize Project Risks ■ Reduced unit costs through pooled funding with other partners, and economy of scale that 3DEP provides ■ Access to qualified and experienced firms under contract that acquire and process aerial lidar data ■ USGS programmatic infrastructure that issues and manages data acquisition contracts, and inspects, accepts, and distributes point cloud and derived data products ■ The opportunity to “buy up” higher -quality data for demanding applications that are not satisfied by standard 3DEP data ■ The opportunity to receive funding and acquire data on behalf of 3DEP
10 10 + + Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) Issued to facilitate the collection of lidar and derived elevation data for 3DEP Continues the USGS’s long standing approach to elevation data acquisition through combination of contracting through the USGS Geospatial Product and Services Contracts (GPSC) and assistance awards for partner acquisition. Design a process and program to provide increased visibility and opportunity to the broadest stakeholder community possible (fedBizOpps.gov, grants.gov) Establish a standard, fair and equitable competitive process that can easily be expanded to account for future growth in 3DEP A means to recognize, aggregate, and inspire collaborative funding partnerships in support of multi-agency lidar data acquisition requirements Federal agencies, state and local governments, tribes, academic institutions, and the private sector are eligible to submit proposals
11 + FY17 Broad Agency Announcement Status (04/01/17) ■ Summary of proposals ■ 41 proposals in 25 states ■ Total value of $36.2 M: offering $22.5M and seeking $13.7 M from 3DEP ■ ~155,000 sq. mi. ■ Awards to date ■ 33 Projects in 24 States ■ Total Value $29M ■ Federal $17.2M: USGS $7.6M NRCS $6.7M FEMA $1M Other Feds $1.9 ■ Non-Federal $11.8M ■ ~125,000 sq. mi. ■ Additional Federal investments - $25.7M and ~121,000 sq. mi
12 12 + + 3DEP FY16 BAA / FY17 Awards BAA Solicitation IV. Eligibility Information B. Cost Share, Minimum non-Federal Match for Cooperative Agreements, Project Scope The implementation model for 3DEP is based on multi-agency partnership funding for acquisition. Applicants must commit to a cost share for their project to be considered for funding. Cost share (funds contributed by applicant) is an evaluation factor against which proposals are rated. The greater the applicant’s cost share, the greater the score for this factor. In 2016, the average BAA award covered 38% of the total project cost, resulting in an average cost share of 62% by award recipients. Project awards ranged from $8,388 to $797,472, with an average award of $330,261.

18 + Emerging Lidar Technologies Linear Geiger Mode and Single Photon Counting (SPC) lidar are Geiger becoming more widely used and requested by 3DEP partners Higher altitude equates to broader coverage, more efficient data acquisition Greater point density Assessment of data from these platforms identified initial technical challenges that impact immediate adoption by 3DEP Both companies say these are legacy issues that have been or will be resolved USGS will continue to assess these technologies in an SPC incubation period, with the goal to mature these technologies for operational use in 3DEP
19 19 + + Emerging Lidar Technologies (cont.) Not a 1:1 substitution USGS goal is to have a seamless, consistent national 3D layer that is used for multiple uses Bare Earth Structures (infrastructure) Vegetation Different instruments collect this information differently Pulse/returns/intensity/scan angles/processing Must understand the trade offs and acceptability of the differences
