1. GIS QA/QC: Validating the accuracy and currentness of existing GIS features (disturbance, permit, reclamation).
   
2. Routine Site Inspections via Aerial Photography:  Updating site disturbance delineations prior to site visits by staff using imagery and lidar, tracking disturbance through time with serial imagery.
   
3. Comprehensive Review Support: Georeferencing legacy file maps and digitizing approximate permit boundaries or land use boundaries in support of comprehensive reviews.
   
4. Update Metadata:  Metadata was previously completed, but needs to be brought up to current standards using new tools.
   
5. Complete Routine GIS Requests: Work with reclamationists to update GIS preceding or following a site inspection.
   
6. Revise Data Driven Pages:  Revise data driven pages to include more permit information making them useful as a standalone reference.
   
7. Scan and Large Format Maps:  Scan, georeference, index and archive large format maps from map cabinets in an effort to retire the map cabinets free up some office/file space.

There may also be an opportunity to work with drone imagery capture and Structure from Motion modeling, and some opportunity for participation in site inspections.
