Project Management
Program
(PMPro)Slide3
Planning officially begins when a project is funded
Notable quotes after project funding:
“How did this get funded!”
“What can we do with this funding?”
“How many homes do we have out there anyway?”
“We’re going to need more funding to build that”
“That’s not federal trust property.”“Who developed this cost estimate?”
Business as UsualSlide4
O&M
considerations addressed at completion of construction
Notable quotes after construction completion:
“Might as well weld the door shut. Might last longer that way.”
“No one at Tribe capable of operating this.”
“Not sure how Tribe is going to afford operation when things start to break.”
“Why did we build such a complicated system?”“Wish we had time to provide as-builts.”
“I guess this binder of manufacturers’ submittals is the O&M manual.”
“What type of training is the contractor going to provide?”“How is the tribe going to fund operator training?”“SDS is O&M by replacement. We’ll be back in 10 years.”

IHS Survey Definition
Sanitation Facilities include water, sewer, and solid waste
Onsite in-depth assessment of facilities, equipment, operation and maintenance (O&M) of the systemSlide7
Goals of the IHS Survey
Identify system deficiencies and plan for improvement (SDS)
Identify problems affecting quality of water or environment
Gather data for designs, preliminary engineering reports/master plans
Identify tribes technical, financial, managerial capacity and training needsFacilities inventory (IHS data systems)IHS staff trainingSlide8
Goals of EPA Sanitary Survey
Evaluate 8 elements of water systems

Finished water storagePumps/Pumping facilities and controlsMonitoring/Reporting/Data verificationWater system management
Operator compliance with State/EPASlide9
Hypothetical Project
Existing 100,000 gallon storage tank serving public water system (PWS) is deteriorated and in need of replacement. What data must be collected in order to design new storage tankSlide10
Data for Storage Tank Design
Number of service connections (i.e. demand)
Existing storage capacity
Existing source water capacity/production
Fire flow requirement Existing distribution system capacity for fire flow delivery (requires hydraulic model which requires composite dwg)Existing distribution system pressures
Communities long term development plan
Tribes capacity to operateSlide11Slide12Slide13Slide14Slide15

DSFC DE-OM MeetingApril 2012Slide17
Where in the world is that waterline, anyway?
The NTUA contracted the GIS mapping of all of the water utilities on the Navajo Reservation, including waterline, tanks, wells, valves, etc. The IHS has been using that valuable data for hydraulic modeling and other important project-related tasks.Slide18
ArcView
as a Planning and Design Tool
Locating nearest existing or planned waterline
Identifying nearby homesAvoiding right-of-way obstaclesLocating other existing utilitiesStoring data on existing surveying control pointsArcPad on a mobile device allows all this to be done in the fieldSlide19
Homeowner submits application - site visit completed and GPS reading entered into
ArcView
Topo
Map from ESRI online support superimposed with aerial image to view home and section lines
Land Status layer helps determine that home is in Allotment # 1880Slide20
Zoomed out view shows home in relation to the existing (green) waterline and close to SDS waterline SDS-NM17448-0104Slide21
Home added to SDS Project in Attribute TableSlide22
Maps and namelists can be easily be printed to submit for SDSSlide23
ArcView
as an Operation and Maintenance Tool
One centralized source for all as-built data that can be easily transmitted and shared
Hyperlinks allow storage of project as-builts with pertinent design dataChanges in project status automatically displayed based on changes to attribute values
ArcPad on a mobile device allows operators/engineers/technicians to access data on any facility while at the siteSlide24
View Home Details using HyperlinkSlide25
View Waterline Profiles using HyperlinkSlide26
View Well Details using HyperlinkSlide27
ArcView provides:
An electronic,
georeferenced
“base map” alternative to cumbersome mylar and paper copies of as-builtsA forum to integrate the Tribe’s GIS data with our hydraulic models and survey dataA tool to determine the easiest way to extend services to a home by identifying the nearest existing, funded (PDS) or proposed (SDS) waterline
Coordinate information, based on any system, for waterline tapping or other permitsA way to store and geographically organize project as-builtsSlide28

If the sanitation facilities we construct do not meet their design life how does that affect our ability to provide sanitation facility access to all homes.
