CARTOMATION
2003-Present:
Development of unique GIS applications that are currently being
used by rural cities and counties in the Columbia Pacific region
to access taxlots, addressing, zoning, elevation and other important
(spatial) information. Recently Cartomation has been experimenting
with the addition of non-spatial information in municipal GIS The
application makes small cities along the coast operate more efficiently
by providing an easy way anyone can access documents via a GIS application.

Bear
River Dike Removal
1999:
These data sources supply a wealth of information by capturing past
site conditions. A
knowledge of the many dynamic states from the sites past
can be used to predict more accurately the outcome and effectiveness
of future planning efforts. We
really want to know is the Bear River’s effectiveness at the site
for potential channel migration patterns, overland flows, and vegetation
changes, each has been effected or even subdued by the presence
of a dike.. Read

GPS
Forest Road Hazards Assessment
1997:
The purpose of this survey form is to identify and document areas
that are probable sources of sediment delivery to rivers, streams,
and tributaries within the forest road network in the Willapa Bay
Watershed. A significant number of drainage problems that contribute
sediment to a water body can be identified through visual cues,
such as water flow along a road surface, a collapsed culvert, or
a landslide. The goal of this survey is to collect information about
identifiable sediment sources and their associated drainage problems.

The
Guidebook to Salmon Habitat Restoration Data
1997:
This document provides an introduction, overview, and the documentation
for the most comprehensive database on salmonid habitat in the Willapa
Bay Basin of Southwest Washington State called the Willapa Salmonid
Habitat Database. The database contains detailed information on
the extent and condition of stream and riparian zone habitat. The
database supplements the existing databases managed by the Washington
Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) and the Washington Department
of Natural Resources (WDNR) in geographic extent, content, and also
provides more current data. This database was developed through
the collaborative efforts of the Pacific Conservation District Salmon
Habitat Restoration/Fisher Assistance Program and The Willapa Alliance.
