  2. Illinois Height Modernization Goals • Airborne Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) • Provide stewardship for existing data. • Acquire new data. • Illinois Geodetic Control • Establish statewide network of survey bench marks. • Promote bench mark preservation efforts.

  3. Project Lead Agencies • Illinois Department of Transportation • Amy Eller, Co-Principal Investigator • Jeff Emrick, Surveys and Photographic Services • Illinois State Geological Survey • Sheena Beaverson, Co-Principal Investigator • Michael Blumhoff, PLS, Leveling Manager • Janet Holden, LiDAR Data Manager

  4. Steering Committee • Illinois Department of Natural Resources • Illinois Natural History Survey • Illinois State Archaeological Survey • Illinois State Water Survey • United States Geological Survey • USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service • Federal Emergency Management Administration

  5. Airborne Light Detection and Ranging Data High Resolution Elevation Data

  6. ILHMP: Project Goals • Maintain partnerships for acquiring new LiDAR. • Establish data sharing agreements for existing LiDAR. • QA/QC newly acquired data • Resolve outstanding issues before contracts closed. • Share standards and specifications. • Set uniform requirements for deliverables. • Manage and provide access to data.

  7. USGS 30 meter DEMPecatonica River, Winnebago County Illinois

  8. LiDAR Bare Earth DEMPecatonica River, Winnebago County Illinois

  9. ILHMP: LiDAR Status • Green, brown counties and rivers available • Tan, Gray counties acquired, in QA/QC or processing. • Illinois Lidar • 87 of 102 counties available by end of 2015.

  10. LiDAR Derivatives, St. Clair Co. Digital Surface Models Digital Terrain Models • County data sets via Illinois Natural Resources Geospatial Data Clearinghouse

  11. Survey Monument Preservation “The value of control information or boundary marking is jeopardized by any disturbance to a monument, so protection is key.” -Wisconsin State Cartographer’s Office

  12. Geodetic Leveling • Research existing monuments and scout their condition. • Select route to pass through, or install new, monuments. • Install new monuments and take precise measurements. • Verify data, submit to national database. • National Spatial Reference System (NSRS). • Large amount of funding, and a lot of time to complete. • Select vendor, contract, field work, data processing, data submission, and publication by NGS.

  13. Illinois Geodetic Leveling • Green: fieldwork complete. • Data published by NGS. • Orange: fieldwork in progress. • Note short spur lines. • Purple: planned for Fall 2015. • Total by Summer, 2015 • 3,500 up-to-date bench marks • 282 horizontal marks elevated

  14. Recovery Reporting • Condition of marks in NSRS can be reported by any person to NGS via On-line Form or DS World (free software).

  15. Recovery Reporting • Download datasheet, note location and description. • Travel to location, take observation notes and photos. • A pointless exercise unless you report your findings! • Even with a robust statewide network of monuments, it’s current condition is largely unknown due to lack of recoveries or failure to report recoveries.

  16. Illinois Recovery Reporting • Bench mark LC0397 set in 1959 • Reported Good Condition 1986 by NGS • Bench mark KB0541 set in 1969 • Reported Good Condition 1989 by Power Squadron • What is the condition of these bench marks?

  17. Illinois Recovery Reporting • Bench mark reporting and preservation. • LC0397

  18. Illinois Recovery Reporting • Bench mark reporting and preservation. • LC0397: reported Mark Not Found 2013

  19. Illinois Recovery Reporting • Bench mark reporting and preservation. • KB0541

  20. Illinois Recovery Reporting • Bench mark reporting and preservation. • KB0541: reported Good Condition 2013

  21. Recovery Reporting • Recovery reports are useful, even if the bench mark condition is still as previously reported. • Carry knowledge forward over years or decades. • Revise location description if buildings, trees, roadways, or railroad tracks have been removed or altered. • Upload photos of condition and surroundings to verify. • Identify as a candidate for statewide or regional efforts • Replace destroyed witness posts • Rehab deteriorating bench marks • Campaigns for GPS Occupations or Geodetic Leveling • Inspire preservation by communicating “I’m still here!”

  22. Survey Monument Preservation • “The mark you save could be your own.” • - Sheena Beaverson, Illinois Height Modernization
