1 + NEEA Refresh aka 3D Nation Requirements and Benefits Study Allyson Jason, Carol Ostergren, Xan Fredericks and Lou Driber November 9, 2017

2 + 2 Study Context Background The National Enhanced Elevation Assessment (NEEA) ultimately resulted in the 3DEP program 3DEP is in the production phase of a planned 8-year program to deliver QL2 elevation data across the CONUS, HI, and territories, and IfSAR data for AK The National Coastal Mapping Strategy 1.0 calls for a NEEAlike study to understand the costs and benefits of comprehensive ocean and coastal mapping and its contribution to the 3D Nation vision of a seamless elevation dataset from mountains to oceans

3 National Enhanced Elevation Assessment (NEEA) + 3 A comprehensive inventory of user requirements and benefits for elevation data Conducted in Data collection 34 Federal Agencies 50 States Local Government, tribal, private, not-for-profits Results 602 Mission critical activities that need significantly better data than are currently available Between $1.2 billion and $13 billion in benefits annually Increases in Presidents budget in FY14 and FY15

4 3D Elevation Program + 4 Mission Critical Applications Annual Benefits Rank Business Use Conservative Potential 1 Flood Risk Management $295M $502M 2 Infrastructure and Construction Management $206M $942M 3 Natural Resources Conservation $159M $335M 4 Agriculture and Precision Farming $122M $2,011M 5 Water Supply and Quality $85M $156M 6 Wildfire Management, Planning and Response $76M $159M 7 Geologic Resource Assessment and Hazard Mitigation $52M $1,067M Flood Risk Management 8 Forest Resources Management $44M $62M 9 River and Stream Resource Management $38M $87M Infrastructure 10 Aviation Navigation and Safety $35M $56M : 20 Land Navigation and Safety $0.2M $7,125M Total for all Business Uses (1 27) $1.2B $13B NEEA Benefits for Top Business Uses Geologic Hazards Aviation Safety

5 Dollars in Millions + 5 National Elevation Program Recommendation Multiple Scenarios Considered Avg. Annual Costs: $146M Avg. Annual Benefits: $690M Avg. Annual Net Benefits: $544M Benefit Cost Ratio - 4.7:1 Total Benefits Satisfied: 58% $2,000 $1,800 $1,600 $1,400 $1,200 $1,000 $800 $600 $400 $200 $0 98% 71% Annual Costs Annual Total Benefits 66% 59% 58% 33% 30% 30% 22% 13% Recommended program (QL2) on an 8 year cycle Highest quality level (QL1) on an annual cycle % = Needs Satisfied by Scenario QL3 on a 25 year cycle (closest to existing program)

6 The Interagency Working Group on Ocean and Coastal Mapping (IWG-OCM) + 6 WHO: NOAA USGS USACE NAVO BOEM NSF NGA USCG EPA FEMA NASA and other appropriate Federal agencies involved in ocean and coastal mapping. Co-chaired by NOAA, USGS, and USACE Charged with facilitating the coordination of ocean and coastal mapping activities and avoid[ing] duplicating mapping activities

7 + 7 National Coastal Mapping Strategy 1.0 Coastal Lidar Elevation for a 3D Nation Public comment period has now ended, in process of addressing feedback before final Implementing components underway Regional Coastal Mapping Summits for coordination Common standards Bathy Quality Levels aka 3DEP topo QL s Whole life cycle approach to data R&D on new tools/techniques for data collection and use.

8 + 8 National Coastal Mapping Strategy 2.0 Ocean Elevations for a 3D Nation Version 2.0 will include: Offshore/OCS Acoustic Aerial photography, HSS Building from agency inputs such as NOAA Hydro Survey Priorities work, BOEM priority areas for survey, etc. Scoping study for NEEA Update and Coastal/Offshore (NEEA-OC) Elevation Requirements and Benefits Study 8

9 + 9 Updating User Requirements and Benefits for 3DEP Be able to assess new technologies against user requirements and identify the tradeoffs between different approaches Plan for the next round of 3DEP after nationwide coverage has been completed Improve our understanding and data about requirements and benefits at the state level for the existing and future program Improve our understanding of needs to guide development of the next generation of 3DEP Products and Services

10 + 10 A study by any other name Scoping study Design a study for the unified collection of the requirements for and benefits of building an accurate elevation foundation. Final study name 3D Nation Requirements and Benefits Study Other Options were: NEEA Update and Coastal/Offshore (NEEA-OC) Elevation Requirements and Benefits Study NEEA Refresh, NEEA Update, NEEA 2.0

11 + 11 Study Sponsors NOAA, Office of Coast Survey and National Geodetic Survey USGS National Geospatial Program Still looking for more sponsors

12 + 12 Study Goals Understand 3D Data Requirements Refresh the National Enhanced Elevation Assessment (NEEA) for the years beyond the initial 8-year acquisition program Understand bathymetric data requirements and benefits Inland Nearshore Offshore Understand how requirements and benefits dovetail in the nearshore coastal zone Technology Neutral/Sensor Agnostic Focus on the need for and the value of 3D elevation data

13 + 13 Study Process Design Feb 2017, Implementation Fall 2017 Literature review Define stakeholders Federal, State, Local, Tribal, Non Profit, Academia, and Private Develop study workflow Develop draft questionnaire Mission Critical Activities, Business Uses, AOIs Data types, location, accuracies, frequency Quantitative and qualitative benefits Develop outreach and training plan Surveys, interviews Develop study geodatabase Benefit/Cost Analyses, ROI analyses, degradation if requirements not met
