Background America’s only nuclear weapon assembly and
disassembly site Environmental Issues
– Risk to Workers and the Publics– Air and Water Quality– Effect on agriculture
Public Concerns– Safety– Environment
Current Pantex Database
Sybase and Intergraph MGE
Contains Environmental samples, Regulatory
limits, Facility management, Map information
6,657 Sampling Locations
2.6GB, 197 Tables and 3,566,104 Data Records
Updated Daily
Objectives
To construct Environmental Information System Framework for the Pantex Facility so that environmental information is provided for both professional environmental engineers and general publics

Pantex Spatial Database - Objectives:
To develop a spatial database framework for assisting in characterization of environmental risks of Pantex Plutonium MOX fuel processing facility, and to develop and analyze potential pathways for human and ecological exposures
Data Types:
Raster Image of the Pantex Site and Surrounding Region
Census description of population Stream & Transportation Digital Line Graph Land Use & Land Cover Description Statsgo Soil Description Vegetation Description Aquifer Description Facility Layout
Study region & Projection
Study Region:
State Plane Coordinates
Projection:
Basic Process Procedure
Retrieve the raw data from the source (e.g., Internet) Reformat the data file to be compatible with Arc/Info Merge the data sets to form a larger continuous seamless
data set Customize the attributes information to meet the user
needs Project the merged data set to the desired projection Clip the data sets for the defined study region
Regional Description Data
Raster Image Census Stream Land Use
Soil Aquifer Vegetation Site Layout
Additional Components of EIS
Integrate Microsoft Access with ArcView

Research Intranet - Objectives
Define the objective and scope of the project Clarify the individual function of each team in
the project Set up a channel for easy communication Provide the online resources for each technical
subject Update the progress report Preview the public information

Conclusions EIS can be beneficial for Environmental projects. Retrieving environmental information from the Internet is
efficient and cost-effective. A CD-ROM database management system provides wide
distribution range, simple structure and fast access speed. Microsoft Access can be integrated to ArcView as external
relational database management system. Internet Map Servers provides environmental information to
general publics.
Future Work
Complete the Spatial Database by Providing More Types of Data
Improve the Connection between ArcView and Access
