NCGC Soil Survey SupportThe NCGC Partnership with the Soil Survey Programincludes providing: Geospatial Data Geospatial Technology Geospatial ServicesElevation Data, Satellite Imagery, NAIP 2008, and NCGC GeospatialWeb Map Service
NRCS supports a multi-resolution and sensorapproach to creating elevation for the nation NRCS currently use Elevation Data from 30 and 10meter NED, IFSAR 5 meter and LIDAR 3 meterproducts NRCS need for standards, specifications andcontract vehicles to purchase elevation products inFY2008 and beyond

Issues It is important for NRCS to have true businessrequirements before buying elevation data. We need case studies from all businessareas to show how elevation can make businessoperations more efficient and effective. Elevation data is not plug and play. Processing,Procedures, Models, Derivatives, Analysis andInterpretation is needed. It is not an exactscience. Lots of R&D, trial & error.
Elevation Future Directions Need to identify the agency business requirements forelevation for program areas as part of the NRCS GISStrategy Complete the evaluation of IFSAR data and provideguidance on how and where to purchase additionalradar data Create lessons learned and efficiencies from existingLIDAR projects on how and where to purchase additionalLIDAR data Explore the USGS EROS NED partnership to enhance theacquisition, integration and delivery of elevation data foragency business applications.Explore elevation partnerships with state and USDA

NRCS Remote SensingObtaining Satellite Imagery
Satellite Imagery Sources of no cost satelliteimagery and where to order. Sources of satellite imagery forpurchase and how to order. Imagery license restrictions.
USDA Satellite Imagery Archive The Foreign Agriculture Service (FAS)– Repository and manager of the USDASatellite Imagery Archive– A cost-sharing agreement among thevarious subscribers including NRCS– Imagery is for USDA use only– Partners can use imagery if a cooperativeagreement with NRCS is in place. The Archive contains Limited SPOT National georectified Landsat, AWiFS, andAVHRR (USGS)

NAIP 2008 OverviewPartnership Opportunities for USDA-NRCS
NAIP 2008 Program EnhancementsThe NAIP Orthoimagery program added two options dependingon available funding from Federal and State Partnerships for FY2008.1) Four Band Orthoimagery Acquisition-allows end users to view NAIP Orthoimagery in Natural Coloror Color Infrared (CIR)2) State Provided Ground Control Points-State provided ground control points will increase accuracy ofNAIP Orthoimagery
USDA-NRCS Partnership Starting with NAIP 2008, FSA will acquire one meterOrthoimagery only The two meter NAIP compliance product is discontinued NRCS contribution of 500,000 to NAIP 2008 will leverage a 16,700,000 Orthoimagery Base for NRCS
