The Geomorphic Road Analysis and Inventory Package (GRAIP) Abdulrazzaq AlQashan Julia Campo Parker Jones Zach Kretsch
Background Research Designed to inventory impacts of road systems on surface erosion and ● sediment delivery to bodies of water [1] Identifies: ● Hydrologic connectivity ○ Landslide and gully initiation risk [1] ○ Stream crossing failure and diversion risk [1] ○ GRAIP has only been used in the Rocky Mountain region and is now being ● evaluated for Odell Lake in Coconino County 2
Project Understanding Goal Statement: Use the GRAIP process to analyze runoff of roads within ● the south fork watershed to assess the success of the GRAIP process, followed by creating recommendations based off of cost and effectiveness. GRAIP is a process that derives from TerraSync and ArcGIS to model the ● road inventory TerraSync: Data dictionary describing road and runoff features and ○ connections ArcGIS: Compiles geospatial data to create an inventory map ○ 3
Project Understanding Potential challenges include: ● In-depth modeling using Terrasync and ArcGIS ○ Making recommendations for road erosion and sediment delivery ○ abatement design Stakeholders include: ● United States Forest Service ○ Dr. Wilbert Odem (TA) ○ Tom Runyon (Client) ○ Coconino County (water quality) ○ Munds Park users and residents ○ 4
