Our final project task was the analysis of a transmission line corridor proposed by Florida Power and Light (FPL) in Manatee and Sarasota Counties. This project was called the Bobwhite-Manatee project.
After data analysis was conducted and public input considered, a proposed route corridor was identified for the project. What is never mentioned is the fact that GIS played an important role in making decisions concerning the the proposed line placement. The use of GIS enables projects like this to be executed confidently ensuring the required standards and objectives are considered.
Our
project analysis consisted of four objectives that could be achieved using
the GIS tools that we learned throughout the course. These four objectives
were:
Objective
#1: Define and quantify the environmentally sensitive lands imposed
by the transmission line.
Objective #2: Quantify homes within proximity of the transmission line.
Objective #3: Define schools within proximity of the transmission line.
Objective #4: Quantify length and cost of the transmission line.
