3 FEMA Survey Projects Morris, Ocean, Somerset, and Union Counties, New Jersey Scope: RAS completed the field survey to support hydraulic analysis and floodplain mapping for the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), to develop a Flood Insurance Study (FIS) in Morris, Ocean, Somerset, and Union Counties as well as the Passaic River New Jersey. Specifically, our Scope involves the following: RAS provided Field Survey of Natural Streams and Stuctures in a form of Cross Sections RAS photographed the structures and stream sections as well as provide sketches of structures crossing the stream and stream sections. RAS tied into the NGS Control network to establish control as needed on each structure and provided GPS control on every stream section. A combination of GPS and conventional survey methods was used to cut the sections. GPS-RTK was used to set up the sections and the control network. RAS provided a survey control report for the survey work performed by RAS. RAS survey deliverable was in electronic format with the exception of the survey control reports and the structures sketches which will be hand drawn. Stream sections were submitted in ASCII format along with point plots in electronic form to be used in setting the hydraulic model. RAS submitted all field gathered information according to FEMA Appendix M: Data Capture Standards. The field survey complied with FEMA s guidelines provided in Appendix N: Data Capture Standards. RAS delivered text files for each surveyed section in the FEMA Appendix N format. Sussex & Warren County (NJ) LIDAR Mapping Scope: For this project, RAS was tasked with the acquisition and post-processing of LIDAR data in support of Medina Consultants FEMA Region 2 Map Modernization Activities. The LIDAR data encompassed the land area as delineated in the attached coverage map for a total project area of over 400 sq. miles and delivered the First and Last returns, including the X, Y, Z and intensity information. RAS utilized 35 ground checkpoints in order to verify the accuracy of the LIDAR data. RAS supplied the LIDAR data to Bare Earth DEM and an ESRI surface model compliant with FEMA specifications. The LIDAR data was collected at an altitude sufficient for capturing elevation data

4 at a 1.4 -meter average spacing. The LIDAR data accuracy has a bare earth accuracy of 18.5 cm RMSE; for vegetated or obscured areas the accuracy is +/-37 cm RMSE. This is compliant with FEMA specifications supporting the future production of 2 contours. John F. Kennedy International Airport Obstruction Study & Mapping Queens, NY Scope: RAS was contracted by the PANY&NJ to develop an obstruction chart for John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) and data submission to the Federal Aviation Administration s (FAA) Airport GIS (AGIS) portal and the Port Authority of NY & NJ (PA) Interactive Airport Layout Plan (ialp) system. The basis for this study was the acquisition of new digital imagery with Airborne GPS/IMU and low-altitude LiDAR data sets in order to develop accurate approach plain obstruction data to be overlaid on digital ortho-photos. The survey information collected during this project will be utilized to develop an obstruction chart for John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) and data submission to the Federal Aviation Administration s (FAA) Airport GIS (AGIS) portal and the Port Authority of NY & NJ (PA) Interactive Airport Layout Plan (ialp) system. It will also be used in the development of United States Standard for Instrument Approach Procedures (TERPS) and One-Engine Inoperative (OEI) surfaces to be utilized in the PA s ialp system. The PA requires the aeronautical survey to complete obstruction data collection that meets the standards outlined in the FAA Advisory Circulars 150/ A, -17B and -18B. The survey specifications utilized adhere to the requirements for obstruction analysis as per Advisory Circular 150/ B, Chapter 2.6. The imagery analysis will be completed and delivered based on the current as-built positions of the runway.

Access to the Region s Core (The Tunnel Project) Scope: Access to the Region's Core (ARC) is a passenger rail infrastructure project that would significantly expand transportation access between Manhattan and New Jersey. The centerpiece of ARC is the construction of a new two-track rail tunnel under the Hudson River from New Jersey to New York Penn Station. The two existing single-track tunnels are creating a bottleneck on the Northeast Corridor and will reach their capacity limits within the next ten years. Furthermore, the auto-crossings and bus system are already over capacity. The goal of the project is to increase transit capacity and reliability to Midtown Manhattan, improve the distribution and intermodal Midtown connections for rail passengers and sustain and promote regional economic development. NJ TRANSIT, the Metropolitan Transit Authority (MTA) and the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey are sponsoring this effort.

6 Port Newark Elizabeth Marine Terminal Essex County, New Jersey Scope: Port Newark-Elizabeth Marine Terminal is the name for the port facility in Newark Bay that serves as the principal container ship facility for goods entering and leaving the metropolitan region of New York City and the northeastern quadrant of North America.
