High Density Lidar and Orthophotography in UXO Wide Area Assessment, Phase 2. Former Camp Beale Demonstration Site. Addendum, Revision 2
Abstract
Since 2005, the Environmental Security Technology Certification Program (ESTCP) has conducted a pilot program to test the effectiveness of a multi-technology approach to UXO/MEC Wide Area Assessment (WAA). The first phase of this program was carried out at three desert sites containing little or no vegetation and few non-military land uses; results from this first phase were very positive. Subsequently, a second phase of the pilot program was added, including two new sites: the Former Camp Beale site near Marysville, California, and the Toussaint River site near Lake Erie. The Former Camp Beale site is located approximately 20 miles from Marysville, California, and covers an area of approximately 18,263 acres (2,391 hectares). The objectives for the Former Camp Beale demonstration site were similar to those for the previous demonstration sites: to examine the ability of lidar and high-resolution orthophotos to identify and delineate MRS and MEC-related ground features, to verify or correct data in the existing CSM and ASR, and to contribute data that could be used to focus and prioritize the use of more expensive low-altitude or ground-based technologies. Of the ground features detected, many more were ambiguous than at the previous demonstration sites. Lidar and orthophotos did not, by themselves, provide sufficient data to determine the origin of these features. A
