- Title: New York, Tioga County Planning Department: GIS and Database, New York
Description: The purpose of the project was to merge environmentally significant data with Candor's real property database in a geographic information system (GIS). A GPS unit located the septic system within the appropriate tax-map parcel, and the PDA recorded its location. Septic system information collected from the homeowner was also entered into the PDA. Information was successfully collected from nearly 100 residences in both the Town and Village of Candor, and excellent GIS maps were obtained, with color coding distinguishing. For example, septic systems that were problem-free from those with recurring problems.
