The Geomorphic Road Analysis and Inventory Package (GRAIP) - PowerPoint PPT Presentation

The Geomorphic Road Analysis and Inventory Package (GRAIP) Abdulrazzaq AlQashan Julia Campo Parker Jones Zach Kretsch

Background Research Designed to inventory impacts of road systems on surface erosion and ● sediment delivery to bodies of water [1] Identifies: ● Hydrologic connectivity ○ Landslide and gully initiation risk [1] ○ Stream crossing failure and diversion risk [1] ○ GRAIP has only been used in the Rocky Mountain region and is now being ● evaluated for Odell Lake in Coconino County 2

Project Understanding Goal Statement: Use the GRAIP process to analyze runoff of roads within ● the south fork watershed to assess the success of the GRAIP process, followed by creating recommendations based off of cost and effectiveness. GRAIP is a process that derives from TerraSync and ArcGIS to model the ● road inventory TerraSync: Data dictionary describing road and runoff features and ○ connections ArcGIS: Compiles geospatial data to create an inventory map ○ 3

Project Understanding Potential challenges include: ● In-depth modeling using Terrasync and ArcGIS ○ Making recommendations for road erosion and sediment delivery ○ abatement design Stakeholders include: ● United States Forest Service ○ Dr. Wilbert Odem (TA) ○ Tom Runyon (Client) ○ Coconino County (water quality) ○ Munds Park users and residents ○ 4
