Purpose

WQM Planning and related activities

Objective

The CIR (Color Infrared Imagery) Pilot Project is a proposal to obtain color infrared imagery (CIR) in order to expand Brown County, Wisconsin resources used when identifying wetlands within the county.

Outcome

BCRPC Contract - Supplemental funds for water quality planning in designated management areas; update Urban Service Area maps; contract with Brown County Regional Planning Commission. Since this is a pilot study, Brown County staff will verify the accuracy of the CIR photography through on-site field visits at randomly selected wetland sites. The project is needed for several reasons. First, this project will serve as an additional database to be used in conjunction with the existing Wisconsin Wetland Inventory was created in 1978. Updated CIR will allow Brown County to complete several projects. The CIR will allow developers, local officials, and county staff access to more precise information on the location of wetland boundaries. CIR imagery would be utilized in the decennial land use inventory which Brown County will conduct in 2010. Additionally, the data will be utilized to evaluate the long-term effectiveness of SSA planning in protecting wetlands and other ESAs. The creation of CIR will increase data sharing efficiencies between Brown County and the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources. Finally, the data will potentially be used in future updates of the Brown County Sewage Plan in 2012.
