Mapping and Cartography
Our firm utilizes available databases and GIS
expertise to develop base maps upon which environmental features can be
overlain. Features such as land use,
storm and sanitary sewer maps, and installed best management practices are
frequent data overlays. Custom
programming and off-the-shelf GIS applications allow for the generation of
reports that detail land use, identify sensitive or vulnerable areas, or
delineate watershed boundaries for use in further environmental analyses.
Working for EPA s Office of Water, LTI generated a series of over five hundred
maps of urbanized areas across the country to illustrate areas that are to be
covered by Storm Water Phase 2 Program permits.
GIS Data Management
LTI manages large databases that have a substantial

the amount and quality of GIS information stored in the Permit Compliance
System, a national database that tracks NPDES permits across the country.
Pollution Analysis
Limno-Tech combines watershed, water body, and
pollution models with GIS to produce analyses of how pollutants will be
distributed spatially over time. These
analyses are often compared to risk assessments or regulatory levels to
determine hot spots or areas of concern for temperature, chemicals,
pathogens, potential algae blooms, or a variety of other significant
environmental measures. LTI has
developed such GIS modules for lakes, rivers, estuaries, and land areas.
Visualization of Environmental Impacts.
Our staff utilize GIS in conjunction with risk
assessment and watershed models to develop model visualizations to assist
decision makers and the public to understand complex environmental events. Visualizations frequently take the form of
computer-based movies or animations, and have proven to be effective
presentations for sediment transport and burial, pathogen transport and
dilution, and demonstration of thermal mixing zones.
