FME: The Catalyst for a Multi-Participant Hazardous Spills Database for Peel Region

Doug SeabornProject Lead: Enterprise GIS Development & Deployment

SDSS - Spills Decision Support System ~ 500 hazardous spills every year “Spills” can be:

Fuel, auto liquids Industrial waste Hazardous cargo Biological hazards Sewer overflows Flooding

Region of Peel - SDSS

About Peel Region

Area: 1,250 sq km Population: 1.3 million Dwellings: 360,000 Known “haz mat” sites: 20,000 Buried Infrastructure: 85% of area 3 local governments 2 conservation agencies Tiered service responsibilities

SDSS - User Community

First Responders: Peel Region Environmental

Protection Unit Fire & Police Conservation System

Region-wide database [60+ themes] Mobile field devices, web

enabled Oracle Spatial, 7 x 24

Spills Tracing

SDSS Functionality

Support Inventory of known hazmat sites and spills [1999 -2010] through ROP

Record Observed Spills Predict upstream source [s]

for investigation Record & Predict downstream

flows and highest risk outflows/consequences

Subsurface hazmat flow prediction [gravity - storm and sanitary sewer]

Field-usable, field accessible [web, gps enabled notebooks]

Data Themes

Spills-Specific Themes Licensed hazardous material sites, inspection records Observed spills: 10 years Fresh water supply [lakes, aquifers, pump stations, wells, permits] Surface flow

Rivers, creeks, ditches, culverts Surface Elevation & Permeability Model Catch Basins, Inlets, Outflows

Sub-surface flow 100,000+ underground pipes [storm and sanitary]

Reference Themes Street Road Network with Address points Property & Infrastructure Aerial Imagery Environmental & Recreational areas High risk infrastructure [stations, schools hospitals airports,…]

Environmental Themes

Source water protection areas

Aquifers & wells Dams, flow control

structures Flood zones Rivers, streams,

creeks Watershed and sewer

shed boundary models Conservation areas Environmentally

sensitive areas

The FME Challenge

Geo data “contributors” 7 Vector data: MicroStation,

GeoMedia, ESRI Raster data: MrSID, ECW Office [MS] data: 12,000

engineering drawings [pdf], Word, Excel, Access

C3Q: Coverage, Currency, Consistency, Quality !!

Some ETL Tasks

1. Storm Sewer [CAD to Oracle Spatial ]2. Water System [GeoMedia to Oracle ]3. Sanitary Sewer [SQL Server to Oracle]4. Storm Ponds [Word -> Oracle]5. Spills and Licensed Sites [Access to Oracle]

Storm Sewer [CAD to Oracle Spatial ]

Scope City of Mississauga ~ 100,000 graphic objects in MicroStation

[1997] Connect and attribute pipes Connect and attribute inflow points [surface

elevations] Connect and attribute outflows [surface

elevations] Build network model [inflow <-> outflow]

mostly done using FME

3 ETL Tasks
