Metadata for NJGINEdith Konopkaedith.konopka@tech.nj.gov

Why use ArcGIS Pro Metadata Editor? Creates ArcGIS format metadata (for AGO) Interface like ArcCatalog, works better Easy buttons for Save As ArcGIS standalone xmlSave As standalone htmlExport standard xml metadata (FGDC, other)Create a template from existing metadata Publish data and metadata seamlessly to AGO/OD (hosted)

Roads and AddressesPatrick McDonaldpatrick.mcdonald@tech.nj.govStephen Eckhardtstephen.eckhardt@tech.nj.gov

Roads and address points are now in NENA NG911 schema. NJ Office of GIS has added and revised a number of roads based onthe latest aerial photography. Fixes for existing issues like street names, street name aliases, addressranges, travel direction, postal code, and postal community havecontinued. Roads and Address points are now published every month in both filegeodatabase and shapefile format. Roads include road segments and street name alias table. Address Points also contain street name alias and landmark alias tables. Forshapefiles, address point are split into each county, but still contained in onezip file.

In the NENA NG911 GIS standards, the local 911 authorities will beresponsible for maintaining and supplying the GIS data for the NG911system. NJOGIS has already worked with multiple municipalities to help thempopulate new computer-aided dispatch (CAD) systems for theircurrent E-911 systems, and ultimately help them have current GISdata for the future NG911 system NJOGIS has begun the process of working with several county GIS or911 centers for both their current E-911 CAD systems and alsopopulate the future NG911 system. Currently for GIS capable agencies, submission of file geodatabases isnecessary. Work is underway for creating a web based editor forsmaller agencies without GIS capabilities.

NGAP – Address project Civil Solutions awarded project in late 2020 Create an additional 700,000 address/subaddress points Focus is to create address points that can not be generated fromParcels - Mod IV Newly generated address point data primarily: Apartment complexes Shopping centers, strip malls Office buildings and suites Limitations of Mod IV - only contains the master address of the property New address point information aggregated through a combination of publiclyavailable data

Next Generation 911 UpdateAndy Rowanandrew.rowan@tech.nj.gov

Next Generation 911 (NG911) Update Bids are under review for the contract to build and operate the ESINetand core services including call routing. Contract award expected early in 2022. Due date for first PSAPs to bemigrated on depends on which bidder is selected. Data sets for roads, addresses, PSAP boundaries are ready now forPSAPs to use in E911 systems; please help spread that message. Still to be created: police/fire/EMS response zones. (These are notrequired for call routing, only for dispatch.) Data maintenance will be local responsibility once NG911 goes live.

Administrative BoundariesPatrick McDonaldpatrick.mcdonald@tech.nj.govStephen Eckhardtstephen.eckhardt@tech.nj.gov

New York and Pennsylvania Boundary Project In 2019 to 2020, NJOGIS worked with the New York State, InformationTechnology, GIS Program Office (NYS IT GIS) and the PennsylvaniaDepartment of Transportation (PennDOT) to establish coincident stateboundaries. The NJ version of the boundary with NY state is based on: A GPS survey, performed by the NJ Geological Survey, of field recoveredboundary monuments from the Delaware River to Hudson River. In the Hudson River, NY Harbor, Arthur Kill, and Raritan Bay, the boundary isbased on series of known turning points found in “The Story of New JerseysCivil Boundaries 1608–1968; by John F. Snyder” which had been mapped bythe NJ Geological Survey. NYS IT GIS accepted the existing NJ boundary with only a minor revision in theDelaware River to align with the agreed upon NY-PA corner at the tri-stateboundary corner.

New York and Pennsylvania Boundary Project The boundary with Pennsylvania in the Delaware River was a much morecomplicated process. The boundary is based on two agreements ratified byboth states in the 18th century. Reports agreed to by two different bi-statecommissions are the basis for the boundary agreements. Details of thesereports are contained in the same “The Story of New Jerseys Civil Boundaries1608–1968” book. Below the Trenton Falls: The state boundary line is the Thalweg or middle of the primary navigation channel.Each island in the river was then annexed to PA or NJ, by the 1st commission based onproximity to shoreline of each state. Above the Trenton Falls: The state boundary is based on the middle of the river after taking into considerationwhich islands were annexed to PA or NJ by the 2nd commission.

New York and Pennsylvania Boundary Project NJOGIS performed extensive research to complete this project. The islands from the commission reports had to be identified. Many of the islands nowhave different names from the 18th century. Some islands no longer exist due to landfill,dredging, flooding, and normal river currents. As many historical maps and books as possible were located and reviewed. The mainmaps prepared for the commissions were located in the NJ State Archives and also byPennDOT in PA archives. The NJ version was water damaged and is in very poorcondition. The PA version is in good condition, but does not have the all pages. After both states agreed to the island locations, mapping of the actual boundary line wascompleted. There was some debate between both states regarding what islands from the commissionreport are what is visible in the various 21st century aerial photos. The centerline of the river took several attempts to delineate using various methods. Both states did agree on a final common line. This line will be submitted tothe US Census Bureau, Boundary and Annexation Survey in January 2022 fortheir use.

Boundary update project Review of boundary line segments that were sourced fromNJDEP Landuse/Landcover and Hydrography Where necessary, replace line segments, generate newmunicipal polygons Pilot project to evaluate unintended pitfalls Not expected to begin for another year. Likely in the2022-2023 timeframe Transition period before updates replace the existingmunicipal boundary dataset

20022020

Annual updates to Census Bureau Beginning in January 2022, OGIS will be submitting ourlatest State, County, and Municipal boundary updates tothe US Census Bureau, Boundary and Annexation Survey Will include updates, corrections, and annexations alongwith supporting documentation e.g., municipal ordinances, surveys, tax maps, etc. Helps ensure that both the Census Bureau and State areusing the same boundary delineations, where possible
