Digital Geographic Data to Support Long-Term Ecosystem Management for the Fort Huachuca Region Robert Lozar\ John Wickizer 2, Sheridan Stone 3, David Mouat\ Carl Steinitz 5, Gretchen Kent 6, Winifred Hodge 7, and Robert Anderson 8 Abstract-Fort Huachuca, AZ resides within the Upper San Pedro River Basin. The basin is experiencing a number of challenges with respect to natural resources management issues both on and off the installation. These issues have prompted the Army to take a close look at the interaction between the Army and its regional neighbors over the next several decades. This will include identifying a broad range of alternative future scenarios that are possible within the basin. Through a Geographical Information System (GIS) evaluation effort, possible land use distributions which are most likely to develop as a result of each stated guiding scenario will be predicted. One of the tasks at this initial stage of the project is the assemblage of the GIS database to support the study. INTRODUCTION The Upper San Pedro River Basin, within which Fort Huachuca, AZ resides is recognized for its globally-significant biodiversity value, its aesthetic and recreational value, the presence of a concentration of endangered species, as well as the aquifer which is the sole water source for the region. It is experiencing a number of interrelated challenges with respect to natural resources and natural resource management issues both on and off the installation. The issues of water usage, military mission, urban growth, rural economy and unique natural values have prompted the Army to take a close look at its role relative to these complex issues over 1 Land Planner, Construction Engineering Research Laboratories.

2 the next several decades. Therefore the Department of Defense's Legacy Resource Management Program (Legacy), with the support of the U.S. Army Training and Doctrine Command (TRADOC) Headquarters, is funding a multi-year project to identify alternative futures for the Upper San Pedro River region under different projections of change over the next few decades. GIS BACKGROUND DATA EFFORT The study area (figure 1) is the Upper San Pedro River basin (probably including the Sonoita Planning Area).

3 One of the initial tasks of the project, is the assembling of a Geographical Information System (GIS) database to support the study. Data from many sources, in both the U.S. and Mexico, are being assembled from cooperating agencies and organizations. The team has identified several critical data types. The data set being assembled will include spatial information about the existing human environment as well as historical satellite imagery, which is intended to provide a temporal context (figure 2.) for the identification of regional trends. The data being collected will focus on four major themes: Topography, Land Use/Land Cover, Soils, and Population and Demographic characteristics. Figure 2.

4 Progress in the development of this supporting data set has been made. An initial survey of.desirable sources has been developed and is presented in table 1. Table 1 can be expected to change as progress is made in the assemblage of the final theme data base. Table 1.

5 We are interested in identifying additional agencies which also are involved in the future of the Upper San Pedro River Basin and who are willing to share some of the digital GIS data in support of this effort. RESOURCES AND CONSTRAINTS FOR THE REGION The Upper San Pedro has an interesting set of regional dynamics. If we develop a listing of the known unique resources of the region it would probably include: High Biodiversity Attractive Climate San Pedro River National Conservation Area Fort Huachuca Sonoita Upland Areas Similarly, a listing of known potential constraints of the region is likely to include: Arid Land Limits of Subsurface Water Availability Impacts to Biodiversity Desirability for Development, Recreation and Retirement. Erosion Potential Stream System Stabilization Clearly there is a high relationship between these two listings. One is tempted to conclude that the area's benefits are also its constraints. It is within this somewhat contrasting environment that the Alternative Futures project must be carried out. POSSIBLE RANGE OF FUTURES AND PROJECT SCHEDULE The study activities will: Include the development of several alternative futures for the Upper San Pedro Region. Generate the distribution of land uses that are likely to result from each alternative over a time horizon of several decades. It is not possible to predict exactly what land use will develop at a specific location, but it is reasonable to expect the mix or proportions of land USDA Forest Service Proceedings RMRS-P
6 uses within the region to be relatively predictable based on the planning imperative (i.e. the alternative future) followed through time. It is expected that these alternatives will serve as a basis for regional land management decision-making. Include the development of a web-based tool and data access for future regional planning. The data and techniques developed will be made available to local planning agencies. Allow local stakeholders to more clearly see the ramifications of their proposals and actions. Provide an outline, not a plan, of the region's options for change and their likely effects. This outline will be publicly available. This project is part of a three year effort. The first year (fiscal1998) identifies stakeholders and GIS data availability. One of the purposes of this paper is to encourage such groups to identify themselves. In the second year, the data will be used to generate the effects of the alternatives into the future. During the third year final reports will be produced including the Internet website. The website and supporting tools will be transferred to regional users. CONCLUSIONS We are in the initial phases of a three-year planning process to generate possible outcomes of various alternative planning imperatives for the Upper San Pedro Watershed. This project represents the first time the Department of the Army will look at long term regional questions which might arise within the sphere of influence of one of its important training installations, Fort Huachuca. Currently, the authors are in the process of identifying sources of base-line GIS data and cooperating agencies that will collaborate in this work.
