Abstract USDA USFS Southwestern Region Contract # AG-8371-C-10-0011 Delivery # AG-8371-D-13-0056 DIGITAL PHOTOGRAPHY ACQUISITION, TRES LAGUNAS FIRE, NEW MEXICO Project Coordinate System: UTM Zone 13, NAD83, NAVD88, Meters Acquisition Date: 9/29/2013 Wilson & Company collected and processed multi-spectral (red, green, blue, near-infrared) digital aerial imagery of the Tres Lagunas Fire that burned in the Santa Fe National Forest in the Sangre De Cristo Mountains of central New Mexico in the summer of 2013. The fire was human caused on May 30th, 2013 at approximately 03:00 PM and burned 10,219 acres located 10 miles North of Pecos, New Mexico. Aerial imagery was collected with a frame - based Z/I Digital Mapping Camera at an average of elevation of 2800 meters above average ground; generating an average ground sample distance (gsd) of 0.3 meters. The imagery will support the Forest Service Burned Area Emergency Response (BAER) program that addresses landscape damage due to the fire, with the goal of protecting life, property, water quality, and deteriorated ecosystems from further damage. While many wildfires cause little damage to the land and pose few threats to fish, wildlife and people downstream, the fires of 2013 have in this case created situations that require special efforts to prevent further problems after the fire. Loss of vegetation exposes soil to erosion, runoff may increase and cause flooding, sediments may move downstream and damage houses or fill reservoirs and put endangered species and community water supplies at risk. The imagery will support the Forest Service Burned Area Emergency Response (BAER) program that addresses these situations with the goal of protecting life, property, water quality, and deteriorated ecosystems from further damage after the fire is out. In addition, other federal, tribal, state, and local governments will be participating in similar program along with Universities in the region.

Purpose This imagery was acquired post fire to support the Forest Service Burned Area Emergency Response (BAER) program.

Data Quality Information

Attribute Accuracy Report

Report This aerial photography was designed to support digital orthophotos with a horizontal accuracy of +/- 6 meters RMSE.

Quantitative Attribute Accuracy Assessment

Attribute Accuracy Value +/- 6 meters
Attribute Accuracy Explanation This aerial photography was designed to support digital orthophotos with a horizontal accuracy of +/- 6 meters RMSE.

Horizontal Positional Accuracy Report

Report This aerial photography was designed to support digital orthophotos with a horizontal accuracy of +/- 6 meters RMSE.

Quantitative Horizontal Positional Accuracy Assessment

Horizontal Positional Accuracy Value 0
Horizontal Positional Accuracy Explanation This source imagery is geopositioned using the external orientation information from the acquisition. This imagery should be used for reference only, and not for accurate mensuration.

Vertical Positional Accuracy Report

Report This aerial photography was designed for orthophotos (which only have a horizontal accuracy). This photography could be used to generate a DTM that would support 5' contours (ASPRS class 2) with proper ground control.

Quantitative Vertical Positional Accuracy Assessment

Vertical Positional Accuracy Value 0
Vertical Positional Accuracy Explanation This raw imagery delivery contains no vertical component.

Logical Consistency Report The imagery products generated during this project were cross-checked as a complete data set as well as being subjected to independent QA/QC.

Completeness Report This is the source imagery for orthophoto development. Images are visually inspected for completeness to ensure that no gaps or image misplacements exist within and between adjacent images. Source imagery is cloud free.
