GIS MODEL PURPOSE
■ The MACC, with funding from the Community Foundation of the Holland Zeeland Area, developed
a Green Stormwater Vision for the Macatawa Watershed in 2017. The vision includes information
about types of green stormwater infrastructure, relationships between water quality and
transportation, a brief discussion of economics, and a strategy to implement the vision.
■ As part of this vision, a GSI suitability GIS model for the watershed was developed
■ In 2019, the GIS process was repeated to include all of Ottawa and Allegan Counties
PROJECT BACKGROUND
■ Target GSI installation to specific parcels to direct funding to the areas where it will have the greatest
positive impact
■ Provide the results to local planning commissions, developers, and engineers to use as an initial
screening tool for the inclusion of GSI in projects

GETTING STARTED
■ Reviewed and modified a GIS model completed for Berlin, MD
■ MACC model focuses on suitability for GSI involving infiltration
■ Criteria used in the MACC GIS analysis:
Hydrologic Soil Group
Natural Drainage Class
Slope
Lakes
Proximity to Structures

GSI SUITABILITY FORMULA
■ As the final step in this analysis, suitability will be determined at the parcel level using the
Raster Calculator, which adds together the scores of each overlapping raster layer in a cell
Hydrologic Soil Group Value + Drainage Class Value + Slope Value + Building Footprint Value + Lake Value
=
Green Infrastructure Suitability Score

DATA PREPARATION – HYDROLOGIC SOIL GROUP
■ ArcGIS Online - USA Soils Hydrologic Group
■ CLIP raster to your AOI
■ RESAMPLE to reduce the cell size to 4
■ RECLASSIFY according to suitability
Definitions Reclassification / Score
A = High Infiltration / Low Runoff 3 = High Suitability

C = Slow Infiltration 1 = Low Suitability
D = Very Slow Infiltration 1 = Low Suitability
A/D, B/D, C/D 1 = Low Suitability

■ CLIP new raster to AOI
■ Use SLOPE tool on output/clipped raster to get slope

RASTER CALCULATOR
■ Performs an addition function in each cell where raster files line up
■ If there is no data in one of the raster layers, then there is no data in the output
