NASIS/SSURGO PANELFort Collins Activity, Ken Harward, NASIS Project ManagerThere are currently 5 major information systems funded for development and/or maintenance work at the Information Technology Center in Fort Collins. These systems are:
Other activities in which ITC either has a leadership role or major involvement include:
SSURGO & Map Finishing-Ken Lubich, National Soil Survey Digitizing and Digital and Map Finishing CoordinatorResponses to questions:
See Part 647 NSHB on Responsibilities. The MO is responsible for quality assurance, those doing the various steps are responsible for quality control of those steps (state, DU). If issues can’t be resolved between business units they should be taken to the Soil Survey Digitizing Coordinator
States are free to do these steps or pay someone else to do them. The Digitizing Units and Digital Map Finishing Sites are encouraged to work with States and if possible assist with this work on a cost for services bases.
Some feel they are ready now. The pressure will be on to get the data in the Field Offices and the Digitizing Units will do all they can to keep up with workload.
Leave some off?
They are doing that now, we also need to make sure the SSURGO data is reviewed closely to the DOQ’s before DMF, not just to the scan overlays. On screen review recommended.
A funding workbook is available by email request or by FTP. See Ken Lubich.

All currently archived soil surveys need to be re-archived to update the tabular data with the NASIS 5.0 data. The Digitizing Units have been funded for this, and other edits can be made at this time. We hope to complete this task over a 12-month period. Beyond that it is up to the states to pay the Digitizing Units for updating SSURGO certified surveys, if they pay the bill they can determine the schedule.
Key points from power point presentation: SSURGO continues to move a long. In spite of our success with this program we are proceeding at about half the rate and funding originally planned. The digitizing units are generally keeping up with the workload being sent. We need to keep working on compilation and get surveys submitted to the digitizing units. New SSURGO review and archiving AML’s will be released in April to accommodate the new data structure in the NASIS 5.0 download. The digitizing units will plan to switch over on April 9th. We will also need to re-archive all the surveys already SSURGO certified. Good progress is be made with new technology to automate manual compilation. Some programs currently be used successfully are; OrthoMapper (stand alone software), MAPLE SYRUP (requires Erdas software) and OthoRec a free Arcview extension. Out source is another option and Montana has had some good work done by Pixxures Inc. The Digital Map Finishing (DMF) sites have completed 19 surveys so far this FY; they have another 37 surveys in the works and 10 more at their sites ready to start. We still need to focus on getting survey in to the DMF sites. Some are looking for their next job. Reviews of data during the DMF process is indicating we need to make better use of the digital orthophotography during compilation and digitizing quality control and quality assurance reviews.
