Electronic Permitting – Digital Mapping Guidelines

1. Electronic Permitting – Digital Mapping Guidelines presented to: March 9, 2011 by: Leslie, S. Vincent, P.E., Technical Services Manager

2. Electronic Permitting – Digital Mapping Guidelines Standards pertain to the production and submittal of electronic CAD files and associated Adobe (.pdf) files for Electronic Permitting. The standards are a minimum requirement for the submission of digital maps.

3. Electronic Permitting – Digital Mapping Guidelines Details regarding the Guidelines can be found in Guidance Memorandum 27-09

4. Electronic Permitting – Digital Mapping Guidelines • FILE FORMAT • AutoCAD.dwg • Microstation.dgn

5. Electronic Permitting – Digital Mapping Guidelines • FILE FORMAT • CAD files are to be attached to section 21.5 of the Electronic Permit application.

6. Electronic Permitting – Digital Mapping Guidelines FILE FORMAT All CAD files must be accompanied with a complete matching set of Adobe (.pdf) drawings. Adobe (.pdf) files = Digital Hardcopy Adobe (.pdf) files are to be attached in section 21.2 of the Electronic Permitting application

7. Electronic Permitting – Digital Mapping Guidelines • Drawing Content • VA DMLR has developed CAD standards for all required maps in an Electronic Permitting application. • These CAD standards were developed by a workgroup consisting of: • VA DMLR Technical Reviewer’s (by discipline) • A. Engineering • B. Hydrology • C. Geology • D. Soils • E. Mapping • Coal Industry Representatives • A. Coal Company’s • B. Consultant’s

12. Electronic Permitting – Digital Mapping Guidelines Layer Naming Guidelines The first 4 letters of the layer name are an acronym for the agency name and the second part of the layer name is a description of what should be contained on that layer.

13. Electronic Permitting – Digital Mapping Guidelines Layer Property Guidelines Everything in a drawing is associated with a layer and every layer is assigned certain properties. Listed below are the properties which have guidelines defined for certain layers within our standard. • Text Styles • Hatch Styles • Line Color • Line Type • Line Width

14. Electronic Permitting – Digital Mapping Guidelines Check CAD Drawings for Standard Violations Check Standards allows you to audit a drawing file and check for violation of standards. CAD standard violations will be commented on during the review process of any permit application.
