MAC URISA 2016

In March of 2014 NJ Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP) launched an effort to combat illegal dumping in the state’s publicly owned lands. This coordinated effort amongst a host of NJDEP agencies fight against illegal dumping through stewardship, education, and enforcement.  To support the enforcement effort, NJDEP developed a mobile web application to crowd source potential illegal dumpsites.  This application provides the general public a way to notify authorities of dumpsites via a mobile device.  GIS supports the education component through an ArcGIS Online story map showing the locations and details of those charged by the task force’s efforts.    This presentation will discuss the use of ESRI’s ArcGIS Online technology to develop the application.  We will walk through how that technology is leveraged in the data flow from mobile device to geodatabase to final reporting.
