Brant Lake Watershed Management Plan Mapping and Analysis Support

The Lake Champlain – Lake George Regional Planning Board (LCLGRPB), the federally designated Economic Development District for Clinton, Essex, Hamilton, Warren, and Washington Counties of New York State, is seeking proposals from qualified firms to assist LCLGRPB staff in the development of the Brant Lake Watershed Management Plan, funded by the New York State Department of State (NYSDOS).

The selected firm will work closely with LCLGRPB staff to provide support in the following key areas:

• GIS Mapping and Spatial Analysis: Develop clear, informative maps to support the planning process. Mapping topics include, but are not limited to:
  • Watershed context and geographical setting (e.g., topography, geology, hydrography, floodplains, soils, areas of erosion, and precipitation)
  • Infrastructure (e.g. roads, bridges, stormwater systems, wellheads, and public water supplies
  • Groundwater recharge areas critical to aquifer health and wetland function
  • Population density
  • Land use, zoning, and land cover
  • Water quality data (e.g., impairments, point sources, hot spots)
  • Impervious surface coverage

Additional maps and graphics may be requested for use during public engagement or to support plan findings.

• Demographic Analysis: Collect and analyze relevant demographic data to inform the planning process. Prepare clear, accessible summaries and visuals for public use and inclusion in the plan.
• Water Quality Interpretation: Assist in reviewing and translating water quality data into meaningful insights for planning and public understanding.
• Document Design and Production: Support the layout, design, and formatting of the final Watershed Management Plan to ensure a visually engaging and user-friendly document.
