Arizona Height Modernization Program - AZHMP Dave Minkel NGS Geodetic Advisor to Arizona Geospatial Professional Member, APLS Dave Minkel NGS Geodetic Advisor to Arizona Geospatial Professional Member, APLS Presentation Outline Why Did We Pursue a Height Mod Grant? Problems with the Network Additional Benefits Expected How Did We Get an HM Grant? Activities What Do We Plan to Do Under AZHMP? 10-Year Plan Near-term Plan Why Did We Pursue a Height Mod Grant? Problems with the Network Additional Benefits Expected How Did We Get an HM Grant? Activities What Do We Plan to Do Under AZHMP? 10-Year Plan Near-term Plan Why Did AZ Pursue a Height Mod Grant? Vertical Control Network Issues Dated Latest Campaign Leveling in 1992 Not All Marks are NAVD 88 Subsidence Vertical Control Network Issues Dated Latest Campaign Leveling in 1992 Not All Marks are NAVD 88 Subsidence DU ft DU ft 0.73 miles ; Elevation Change 2006 Elevation Change (error) could be double, i.e ft & ft, from published 1980 elevation (last year of leveling) Why Did AZ Pursue a Height Mod Grant? Vertical Control Network Issues Dated Latest Campaign Leveling in 1992 Not All Marks are NAVD 88 Subsidence Sparse Where We Need It Development = Bulldozers = Lost Marks Additional Benefits Tie the PLSS to the Network GDACS Project Vertical Control Network Issues Dated Latest Campaign Leveling in 1992 Not All Marks are NAVD 88 Subsidence Sparse Where We Need It Development = Bulldozers = Lost Marks Additional Benefits Tie the PLSS to the Network GDACS Project How Did AZ Get a HM Grant?
