Are There Significant
Environmental Impacts?
Is a Categorical
Exclusion Possible?
Yes
No
Other
Reservations
Any action that might have
significant impacts requires an
EIS. However if mitigation actions
would reduce the impacts below
the level of significance, then an
EA/FONSI fulfills NEPA's
requirements.
Begin the Much More
Strenuous Environmental
Impact Statement Process
(EIS)
Categorical exclusions apply to
actions which would not, under
normal circumstances,
individually or cumulatively have
a significant impact on the
environment.
Every agency has a published list
of categorical exclusions.

Any Project that is within the 200
foot Riparian Vegetation Buffer of
a River or a Wet Area, Will
Require a Hydraulic Project
Application (HPA), the 404
Permit, and the 401 Permit.
The Tribe issues both the HPA
and the 401. The US Army Corps
of Engineers issues the 404.
Along with the 404 Form, the
Biological Assessment, EA/PA,
and FONSI is to be included.

Current Status
• 48 Permanent Monuments (Three Mile Radius Approx)
– 23 Previous (USGS/FHWA/ODOT/BIA)
– 25 New (BIA GPS control points)
– Yields 5 calibrated sites for RTK survey on
reservation
• 46 Elevation Control Points (Historical data BAD!!!)
• 240 Section and Quarter Corners (PLSS)
• 814 Property Pins (Subdivision Lot Corners)
• Next year we will try to get historical data from old Unix
based Mountain Top Software to TGO (Trimble
Geometrics Office) and Autocad format for campus area
of reservation.
Warm Springs RTK Base Network
Warm Springs Reservation
Survey Base Stations
NGS Survey Monument COYOTE
USGS Monument 50+ years old
Grouted in rock
4 Inch Pipe in soil
BIA Permanent Monument
Note fencepost to aid in finding station
license number, and date stamp.
PLSS Brass Cap (Section Corner)
(Public Land Survey System)
Used for GPS photo control by GIS department
Poor GPS survey control
Pipe wiggles when pushed by animals
Unknown Origin (Not linked to original GLO notes)
Bad GPS Control Point
Subdivision Lot Corner
Position not stable over time.
Too easy to move monument.
Trimble RTK Base Station
• 4700 Base
Receiver set
up over
monument
with
broadcast
antenna and
car battery
power
supply
Base Station with nearby tree
• Trees will
interfere with
GPS signal.
Keep base
monuments as
far away as
possible from
sources of
interference.
GPS Survey of Neah Bay
Red Vectors possible errors (tree interference)
GPS Error Sources
• Electrical interference
from transmission tower,
Setting up on Reference
Monument instead of
benchmark (BIG error).
Setting up near Chain
Link Fences and FLAT
water Surfaces….IE
Puddles on calm days.
4800 Rover
• Trimble 4800
Rover with 1.8
meter pole
gathering point
data (fenceline,
cmp, utility
locations….)

Backpack
with 2.0
meter pole
gathering
point data.
4700 Rover
(Continuous Mode)
• 4700 rover mounted to
backpack for topo
shots. Points gathered
in continuous mode
(every 5? Seconds).
Note height of antenna
varies with operator.

detachable rack
on top of Chevy
Tahoe to survey
above passenger
wheel. Height of
antenna varies
with vehicle.
Data gathered every 1 second at 30 mph = 44 feet between points.
Light area right of fog line is asphalt extruded curb.
Mounting Bracket for Tahoe
