079 Information Paper SUBJECT: Lee County Coal Ash Assessment and Reporting Model The Lee County Coal Ash Assessment and Reporting Model illustrated below is designed to monitor, track, measure, report and provide a visual experience of historical, current and forecasted conditions for items of interest related to the Coal Ash Assessment and Reporting Model a�y� Colon Mine site. The model MURM provides situational awareness, MAW supports knowledge-based decisions, provides public oKdWuser Pubk User information, and supportsPW •�..�.:y�M;� County involvement in Duke T� �- Energy's coal ash disposal plans. -- ----- Capabilities: The capabilities V1 include collecting, analyzing, A Pd* viRW and visually presenting data forPW ; issues of interest such as water F66o. �e�a,.a (wells, streams, and ponds), FW PM" ed vwd �. public health and safety, air, property values, domestic animals, wildlife, aquatic life, vegetation, and crops. The capabilities support defining user groups and providing data views relevant to group information requirements. Users will have visualization for items of interest and the geographical area, to include tracking, measuring, reporting, and viewing changes; conducting trend analysis and forecasting the impact of trends; tracking the Duke Energy Plan, as well as preparing, monitoring and reporting on-line implementation plans. Selected information will be accessible to the general public, while more detailed sets of data will be available to authorized designated users. Access will be controlled through system log -in credentials via the web and through standard web browsers using HTML and JavaScript. Supported devices will include desktop PCs, and standard mobile devices including smart phones, and tablets. Plan Ahead: The model represents the integration of proven leading-edge technologies being used within the U.S. Department of Defense. Inte ated Training Solutions, a Sanford based small business, will customize its DART simulation model for web -based analysis and visual data presentations, including the large data sets. DART is supported by two patents and was selected in 2013 and 2014 for presentations to Congress as one of the nation's top 15 modeling and simulation technologies. Empire Media Group, a small business located in Springfield VA, will customize its Eagle -360 imaging platform to provide visual images of the coal ash site. Based on access to the area of interest, video and still images will be acquired through aerial and ground based methods and geo-synchronized to topographical maps. In addition, selected analytical reports and legacy documents can be integrated into the visual images and mapping structures. The techniques being used are based on the same methods that have been adopted by the US Navy for assisting nuclear submarines navigation into ports. ITS and EMG will customize existing capabilities to develop, test and deploy the model in 60 days after contract award. Once the model is deployed, it will be populated and updated for time and/or event driven data and visual updates, and to present updates for technical staff and county officials.
