Sanitary Sewer GPS Data Collection and Inspection The Hamilton Township Department of Water Pollution Control (WPC) operates a regional wastewater treatment facility with a capacity of 16 million gallons per day (MGD) and an average daily flow of 9.2 MGD. The Utility has been in operation for 71 years and is currently serving over 92,000 residents from three municipalities with a collection system containing 389 miles of sewer lines and 39 pumping stations in its 45 square mile service area.

Maser Consulting was contracted to create the Townships GIS datasets covering the sanitary sewer system. The first step was to digitize 56 manual drawn maps of the sewer system. The datasets created covered sewer pipelines, manholes, pump stations and force mains. Attribute information was added where information could be found on the maps. In many cases pipe sizes, manhole rims and other basic attributes were missing from the plans. The second phase of the project was to field verify the locations of the manholes by using sub meter accuracy Trimble GeoXH data collectors. Maser Consulting’s GIS/GPS field inspectors used the existing sewer datasets to locate the manholes. Once the manholes were found in the field, the field inspectors recollected the point which updated the x, y location of the manhole. The inspector then photographed the interior of the manhole and performed condition inspections.

As-Built plans of the system were scanned and linked to the appropriate street centerline. End-users are able to click on the road segment and view the as-builts accordingly.

Stormwater System Mapping A town-wide dataset was created for stormwater structures and piping. Existing as-built plans of the stormwater system and field inspection notes collected by in-house staff at the Water Pollution Control Department were used as guidance during the creation of the GIS layers. Information shown on the As-Builts such as; grate elevation, pipe slope and inverts, were added as attributes within the datasets.

Long Branch Sewerage Authority, Monmouth County NJ The Long Branch Sewerage Authority is an activated sludge wastewater treatment facility with a permitted design flow of 5.4 million gallons per day of discharged treated wastewater effluent. The effluent is discharged into the Atlantic Ocean, which is designated as SC (Saline Coastal) Waters in New Jersey. The LBSA currently serves a population of approximately 31,000 people with customers in Long Branch and parts of West Long Branch, namely Monmouth University. The collection system consists of approximately 500,000 linear feet of sewerage lines and six pump stations. Maser Consulting was contracted to create a web based GIS solution. Maser Consulting met with key staff at the Long Branch Sewerage Authority (LBSA) gathering as-built, and construction plan sheets that were a mix of manually drafted documents and AutoCAD files. Some plans dated back to 1968. The sewer piping and manholes were digitized using land base datasets (parcels and road centerlines) as a guide. Many of the digital files were referenced to the state coordinate system giving the datasets areas of high horizontal accuracy. LBSA supplied Maser Consulting with a database file of their client account software. The information was tied to the parcel base allowing LBSA to search by client account number, name, address, or block and lot number. The end-users of the program can then run reports on that information and print maps of the selected properties. The asset management system is hosted by Maser Consulting and has been a useful tool for the Authority and the City of Long Branch, enabling the end-user to have up to date information regarding the sewer system and the properties that are serviced by LBSA. As development continues to grow within the City, mapping updates are made by Maser Consulting’s GIS staff. Lower Paxton Township Authority, Dauphin County, PA Providing professional GIS services to integrate their sewer collections system into VUEWorks asset management program to manage work orders, and historic record documents. End-users of the program access the program via web to review detailed information about the condition, installation date, size and type of pipes. Maser Consulting provided standard updating processes and procedures that will be followed by consultants working within the Township with regard to the sewer system, ensuring edits are integrated to the web-based asset management program as they are completed. Middletown Township Sewerage Authority, Monmouth County, NJ Web-Based Asset Management Program The Middletown Township Sewerage Authority (TOMSA) is an activated wastewater treatment facility with a permitted design flow of 10.8 million gallons per day of discharged treated wastewater effluent. Maser Consulting was contracted to implement a web-based Asset Management program for in-house management of public service requests, work orders and overall infrastructure management. The asset management web site is accessible to staff at the Township and the Sewerage Authority. The site is also accessible to consultants that work with the Township and Authority.



Laptops were put into the field trucks at the Sewerage Authority. As work orders are assigned by staff within the office, the field workers are notified of the work order via email, and online within the asset management web site. The field workers can map the site requiring service. As-Built mapping, location of cleanouts, permit information, owner names and a variety of other helpful information regarding a property or asset are field accessible 24/7 in order to allow field workers to respond immediately to issues without having the need to come back into the office to gather mapping, and work order information. At the Township, building permits, property sales, tax assessment data, and zoning information is priority information that is accessed and edited on a daily basis within the GIS mobile application. The Sewerage Authority relies more on accessing historic data to assist in responding to sanitary sewer service requests. Pipe videos, inspection data, as-built plans, and past work orders are key in assisting the public based on service requests received. The GIS program includes datasets containing manholes, pump stations, cleanouts, basin outlines, land base mapping, and planning and environmental constraint information.

PROGRAM & PROCEDURES ASSESSMENT Project Startup Meeting Our Project Manager (“PM”) will meet with the stakeholders to discuss the overall process of this project. We will provide the necessary documents in order for the attendees of the interview process to be most prepared. The “preparation for interview” form outlines what the attendee should be prepared to answer and bring to the interview. The Town will designate a project point person that our PM can coordinate with throughout the course of the project. On-Site Review of Current Operation and Maintenance Procedures Our GIS team will conduct an on-site review of the current hardware and software being used at the Town. This will allow our staff to understand how the Town has been utilizing digital technology for daily operations and maintenance procedures. We will also review how mobile devices and GPS data collectors are used currently, if applicable, and assess future usage of this technology where best suited. We will identify any upgrades to hardware or software that would be required in order to best integrate with a GIS program. Stakeholders involved with Interview Process

• Public Works • Zoning and Land Use • Building Department • Assessor • Town Clerk • Tax Collector • Finance Department • Technology • Police Department • Clinton Public Schools • Parks and Recreation • Social Services • Fire Department (volunteer) • Planning and Zoning Commission • Zoning Board of Appeals • Inland Wetlands Commission • Water Pollution Control Commission • Board of Finance • Economic Development Commission • Historic District • Conservation Commission • Police Commission • Board of Education • Municipal Building Committee


Technical


On-Site Review of Record Documents We understand that GIS is established at some level. We will work with key staff to review standards that are in place for digital property record keeping, surveyed data, and existing record documents such as; As-Built plans and miscellaneous land use, and engineering files. We will take inventory on the different data types that are maintained within existing software program sources. We will then estimate the time and effort that will be involved with integrating these programs to a GIS program. We will review data formats that are being collected in the field through GPS technology and general field sketching techniques if applicable. We will note standard forms and data models being used in the field to capture infrastructure locations and conditions. We will also review data being maintained outside of the Town:

• Department of Energy and Environmental Protection • Department of Economic and Community Development • Lower River Valley Council of Governments (RiverCog)

Review of Standard Process and Procedures Our team will review the current procedures that are in place to manage how land based information is created and maintained. A review will be conducted on how service calls and work orders are handled from initial request to notification of work order closeout. Existing databases (i.e. DOS, FoxPro, Excel, SQL, Access), hard copy forms, email formats, and any other mechanism that is currently used to track service requests, operation and maintenance scheduling and inspection processes will be noted. We will note how equipment, staff and inventory is currently assigned and managed when relating to operation and maintenance procedures. We will review the type of reports that are being used currently relating to work process, staff scheduling, costs for operation and maintenance of equipment, assets and facilities. Preparation of Report & Presentation Maser will prepare a report outlining their findings with the recommended implementation plan with cost estimates. This will provide the Town with a document that can be used to budget and prioritize the implementation of a Town-wide GIS program. We will also provide a listing of potential funding sources that the Town could pursue to offset GIS costs. Keep in mind not all stakeholders will benefit at the same level. There will be priority areas outlined in our report, where we feel the highest efficiency / cost savings will take place if the GIS program were to be implemented. The implementation could be a phased approach, based on funding, and need for the GIS program. A final presentation will be conducted on-site. The Town will assist in coordinating this effort. Handouts and PowerPoint presentation will be provided. The PM will conduct the presentation.
