US Air Force (USAF) headquarters requires Installation Restoration Program Information Management System (IRPIMS) deliverables for environmental data generated at USAF installations under the Installation Restoration Program (IRP). By integrating Geographical Information Systems (GIS) applications with these electronic deliverables as part of Remedial Investigations (RI), quality control and information usability are notably increased. The GIS/database link creates a dynamic environmental model of the installation and offers numerous uses. There is also the potential to yield long-term cost savings. The greatest resource of the IRPIMS electronic deliverable is database content. IRPIMS contains survey, field and analytical data collected during an RI. This database can then be tapped, and the format can be modified to be used with a variety of other data management or geographical information systems. Enhancing the IRPIMS database with GIS capabilities requires an initial investment of time and resources. However, the effort should be greatly reduced in the future, since the integration procedures can themselves be automated.
