16 TWG Budget Ad hoc Group GCMRC FY 06 Non-Experimental Budget and Work Plan Development Question/Response Table (W AP A) GCMRC's Response to Comment #40 41 (W APA) GCMRC's Response to Comment #41 42 (Norm Henderson) GCMRC's Response to Comment #42 43 (W APA) recommendation? We need tbe PEP to define wbat sbould be done. Tbe cost seems bigh for a researcb project to determine core monitoring. Wben this monitoring is done, we would like to know if visitor use increases erosion at cam able beaches. See responses to Items 28 and 29, We would be happy to factor in the effects of visitor use in evaluating erosion at campsites in a future monitoring program. Helen will apprise the PEP reviewers that this is an interest of an AMP stakeholder. . Logistics Support D1, for the first note, is the cost also sbowing somewhere else and double funded? Tbis needs clarification. How does the burden a I to tbis? Project D I Budget Table in the GCMRC workplan reflects a breakdown of full logistics costs, Acluallogistics costs are distributed to each project line item in the budget table, only direct logistics costs (equipment replacement & salaries) are listed in the budget table line for logistics and therefore NOT double funded in the budget table, Burden char es are a lied a ro riatel in the bud et table. Line 130 and 132 (survey and control network) -It is difficult to understand bow survey and control network elements are considered core monitoring. Given that there is a great deal of emphasis no given to 1ST AR imagery that is already orthorectified, what is the justification or rationale for additional fundin for its continuation? The mission of these two distinct yet related projects is to provide spatial data in support of scientific investigations within the Grand Canyon CRE, These services are required in support of Core Monitoring projects regardless of whether the data is collected conventionally or by remotely sensed technologies, As such, the positional accuracy of each dataset must be well defined locally (at a specific site or along a short river reach) and regionally (throughout the length of the CRE), The data must be correctly and consistently referenced to the National Spatial Reference System (NSRS) for reliable use in Geographical Information Systems (GIS), The results of a rigorously tested control network determines local and network accuracies of each spatial data set, validates that contractors are meeting their stated accuracy requirements, and assures GCD-AMWG is making decisions based on realistic and reliable spatial data, Defining this hierarchy is critical since diverse methods are used to determine positions, including remote sensing, conventional ground-based optical methods, and the Global Positioning System (GPS). It is important to note that these efforts are required by the Federal Geographic Data Committee (FGDC) as per Executive Order 12906 and Office of Management and Budget Circular A-16, . Corrections to bud ettable 02 in the work Ian will be ad'usted as noted, Part A - D2, correct tbe table, DOE 15% (or 02, 03, 04 and 05, they should be moved to the totals. Part B - D2fD3, are tbe control point databases and the geodectic control network the same? We noted that on page 113, the title is consequences of 05 . fundin , this should be 06. It sbould be corrected other laces in the document. Document Reference: FY06 Master Oral! AMP Budget - BOR GCMRC 02117/05 11:05 AM
