<br />Project Overview
<br />The goal of this project was m assemble and inventory the parcels and easements owned bym
<br />managed hr the Colorado Water Conservation u^ard(CWcu)u|mguse,mmi|uouxua^cthus^othmmc
<br />River, lhenro�ject area starts u the Chatfield Reservoir u the southern end and extends north mthe
<br />Junction ^c the South Platte River with Bear Creek, The pvduot area io approximately seven miles inlength
<br />north —south, All ^cthu parcels and easements owned hrm managed hr the cwcu have been mapped
<br />digitally for use inu Geographic Infomutimusrotun(cus),
<br />The value ^cthio project comes from the improved ability mmanage and monitor thucwcu
<br />interests along this stretch using the GIs technology, The parcels and easements have been combined with
<br />other spatial data including natural color imagery, digital United States Geological Survey (osns)7,5
<br />Minute Quadrangles, mudomterxnuduu^hrdro|^grduu^m`d^thu,oupm^ningguuouommakeauuoierm
<br />view, locate, and identify these interests, The cwcu parcels and easements contain information stored uo
<br />attributes massist in the query and identification processes, and are linked m scanned copies ^ctheir deeds
<br />and documents, The attributes that were collected make the management ^c the cwcu interests more
<br />effective,
<br />This project was divided into six yutasks: 1) Project Kick-Off Meetings; 4 Search For and Acquire
<br />Existing Data; 3) Linking Paper Records m the Spatial Data; 4) In-Depth Analysis and Data Review; 5)m|
<br />in the Missing Information; and 6) Findings Meeting and Report,
<br />Easement and Ownership Data Current Status
<br />The CWCB has been maintaining paper records on the parcels, easements, and agreements ofwhich
<br />the CWm has interests, In many cases there are only one m two copies ^cthese paper records, uisulabor
<br />intensive task m locate the geographic area ^c interest, track down the paper documentation, determine icthe
<br />document is the current version or if any updates / changes have occurred, and then review the agreements
<br />m conditions that exist mu adjoining ^, near-by cwcuinterests,
<br />This project has automated these tasks into one interface that allows access mboth the spatial data
<br />and to the paper records through links from the GIs to the scanned documents,

<br />Project Work-Flow
<br />Prior m the start ^cuepro�juu research was done m determine which uuuseto are available, Several
<br />uuusem were available from the Arapahoe County GIs, including the parcel data, the road centerline data,
<br />the hydrology data, and.jurisdiction data, The natural color imagery and the USGS quads were available
<br />from the United States Department ofAgriculture, Natural Resources Conservation Service web site,
<br />With these datasets acquired, it lefl the following tasks to complete the project:
<br />The first task ofuhis project was m meet with the cwc staffmmupresenutives ofmmpanieomm
<br />/m agencies that the CWm has agreements with mreview the goals and objectives ofthisoroject, Trying
<br />m schedule u meeting with all ^c the partners proved mhu quite the task, wa became clear that instead ^c
<br />one big meeting individual meetings and / or phone conversations would be the easiest to accomplish, As
<br />part ^cthio project, "u met with m spoke with representatives fr^muuc^|^md ouparunmt^cwndlife^
<br />Urban Drainage and Flood Control District, Colorado State Parks, Colorado Land Board, a^zh^moghPark
<br />Metropolitan District, the Army Corps of Engineers, TST Infrastructure, Icon Engineering, South Suburban
<br />Parks and Recreation, and Arapahoe County, In these conversations "u reviewed the project and its goals,
<br />and discussed the agreements that are in place and the types ofpaper / digital / spatial data that is available
<br />for the pro�jux area, ne also reviewed what other types ^c data and information muuxiomd,uufom*/^c
<br />this data (paper / scanned images ofpaper documents / Computer Aided Dralling (CAD) format / GIs
<br />format / etc,), how this data was created / updated / maintained, and how complete or accurate this
<br />information is, Also discussed was how this project met the goals and ob.jectives ofthe Flood Decision
<br />Support System (DSS),
