Information That Tells a Story

Data, maps, models, software, and information graphics are at the heart of nearly every project at Aspect Consulting. Our team of expert data scientists, geographic information systems (GIS) analysts, software developers, data managers, drafters, and cartographers help our clients and projects teams find insights in the rich data that drives our work. We’re as at home writing code and building applications as we are designing clear and accurate maps. The breadth and depth of Aspect’s technology expertise means that we’re able to tackle almost any problem at the intersection of DATA and EARTH + WATER science/engineering.

Aspect has assisted the Port of Seattle in complying with mapping, SWPPP, O&M, best management practices, and records-keeping requirements of their Phase I Municipal NPDES Permit.

Our work has included the following:

  • Developing and maintaining a geodatabase mapping the stormwater conveyance system for all Seaport facilities. Coordinated initial mapping of stormwater system. Updated GIS system as new information is learned or system is modified by construction.

  • Coordinating development of a web mapping application to share stormwater mapping data within the Port.

  • Custom database application development to track Port leases to determine relevance to stormwater management.

  • Planning and design of a temporary stormwater collection and treatment system.

  • Participating in development of Operation and Maintenance Manual for stormwater system. Updated O&M manual to include new City of Seattle requirements in 2010.

  • Developing and maintaining a stormwater records keeping data base.

  • Developing SWPPPs for all Seaport operated facilities. Developed SWPPP template for use by Port tenants. Assisted a few port tenants in completing SWPPP template.

  • Overhauling recreational and commercial vessel BMPs.

  • Managed laboratory and field water quality monitoring data and submitted final data to Ecology’s database EIM.

  • Conducting a planning exercise for Industrial Stormwater General Permit.

  • Assisting with outfall inspections.
