Geographic Information Systems Analysis

Numerous environmental measurements involve evaluating numerous attributes over varying geographic areas. These attributes may include:

Groundwater elevation over a piece of real-estate. This information is useful in predicting the dispersal of pollutants in the groundwater.
Precipitation patterns over an extended area. This information is useful in complying with the EPA stormwater regulations.
The location of wetlands and special regulated areas in a town. This information is useful in assessing the suitability of a piece of real-estate for development and for predicting whether many land-use permits are required from state and local boards.
Where specific biological communities are. This information is useful for assessing the impact of a project on threatened or endangered wildlife.
Land owners and tax rates over a town-sized area. This information expedites identifying abutting owners of real estate to a proposed development project.

Mr. Lewis has performed Geographic Information Systems (GIS) analysis for several clients for approximately 9 years. Mr. Lewis has and uses Map Maker Professional GIS software coupled with AutoCAD 2000 and Microsoft Access database software and makes GIS delivery available in industry standard formats as well as in traditional paper copy.

Geographic Information Systems Analysis is a tool used to support numerous engineering studies such as air pollution dispersion modeling, groundwater elevation studies and wetlands analysis.
