Specifics
LAGO worked in conjunction with the GIS staff at Stantec to devise the methods used to generate the impervious surface layer for the County. The methodology utilized available data consisting of planimetric lines, parcel boundaries, and building footprints. Aerial images were used to verify results and pervious areas were removed from the database.
Outcome
The new impervious layer that includes buildings, parking lots, driveways, and private roads are currently being developed and processed for delivery to the client for review and comment.
