Geographical Information System Data Steward - Hanford Natural Resource Trustee Council (HNRTC) [PR0037E]

ProSidian Seeks a Geographical Information System Data Steward - Hanford Natural Resource Trustee Council (HNRTC) (Time and Materials) in in The Hanford Eastern Washington (Tri-Cities - Kennewick | Pasco | Richland) Area. to support an engagement for the US Dept. of Energy (DOE) 

The ProSidian Engagement Team Members work to provide General Support Services Contractor (GSSC) assistance to support DOE Hanford [which consists of Richland Operations Office (RL), and Office of River Protection (ORP)] in support of the Govt’s operations, personnel management, and general administration of regional operations at the Hanford Site in Richland, Washington. 

ProSidian's work includes supporting requirements for consulting, acquisition support, program/project mgmt., operational/administrative business support, and environmental consulting support.  It is also ProSidian's duty to adhere to regulations covering the responsibility to protect classified matter (including documents, material and special nuclear material) in connection with the performance of work under this contract.

HNRTC Support Candidates shall work to support requirements as a Geographical Information System Data Steward - Hanford Natural Resource Trustee Council (HNRTC)  and provide Geographical Information System (GIS) Data Steward Services to U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) - Hanford Natural Resource Trustee Council (HNRTC).  Must also be familiar/experienced with the Natural Resource Damage Assessment (NRDA) and Restoration Program. The NRDA Restoration Program is the legal process that federal agencies like DOE, NOAA, U.S. FWS, etc. together with the states and Indian tribes, use to evaluate the impacts of oil spills, hazardous waste sites, and ship groundings on natural resources both along the nation's coast and throughout the interior. 

NRDA focuses on quantifying contaminant-caused damages (the release of contaminants - intentional releases or accidental spills) to natural resources.  NRDA Results are used to procure the cost of damages from the responsible party, and funds are used to restore injured habitats and resources to the condition they would have been had the hazardous substances not been released.  Funds also compensate the public for the loss of their use or enjoyment of natural resources

The HNRTC GIS Data Steward shall provide support to HNRTC in the following areas:

• Review existing GIS resources for completeness and quality for use in the injury assessment process.
• Provide support for mapping and visualization of existing environmental data, including:   Topography / bathymetry / LIDAR | Vegetation/habitat features |  Analytical data/contaminant concentrations |  Hanford Site operational/jurisdictional boundaries |  Surficial disturbances, etc.
• Assist with data interpretation, including visualization of data groupings to refine injury assessment study questions.
• Provide support to interpret static imagery, maps, and aerial photography or extrapolate to render GIS layers.
• Perform spatial queries to identify data points, resources of interest, geographical boundaries, areas or distances required for NRDA inquiry process
• Providing visualization support and location coordinate identification for sampling planning alternatives (example, the HNRTC Non-Process Area DQO)
• Aid in the data management system workflow for Project Portal
• Assist in implementation of HNRTC Data Management Plan
• Provide support in data clearance, data stewardship activities, and clearance process of GIS data.
