During the construction phase of the
project, we have remained on budget
(nearly)
Installation delays (especially
permitting) mean that we now have
only 1+ years’ funding remaining to
operate the full network, now that it
has been completed
$1.5 M remaining Keck funds;
ongoing USGS support of approx.
$0.5 M per year
$1.8 M per year current budget
Need to drop annual costs to stretch
resources farther
Prospects for other funds through
CSRC, USGS, PBO, etc. but as yet
we cannot count on these
After about July 2002, SCIGN will
face annual shortfall of $1.3 M if we
don’t cut costs, and only have USGS
funds for network operations support

Need to figure out how
to keep SCIGN going
in case CSRC and other
funds don’t materialize…
County Surveyors’ support for SCIGN?
Could this work?
Each county would provide
1-2 people to be be trained
and then available for site
troubleshooting as needed
and directed by Galetzka
Trained people would then
have SIM access. They’d be
called only occasionally, if the
sites are having problems and
need to be visited by a
trained field trouble-shooter
(to fix site, or report symptoms
to Galetzka for visit by other
SCIGN personnel)
SCIGN would provide training
and direction, spare GPS and
other equipment & tools
County would provide person
and vehicle, PC with internet
to make SIM data entries
Benefits to Counties
- data from key SCIGN
stations ensured (those
of interest for surveys)
- keep network going
for a longer time (for
long-term control)
Benefits to SCIGN
- data from SCIGN
stations ensured (more
rapid station repair by
having closer support)
- keep network going
for a longer time (for
better scientific data)
- costs to scientific
funding agencies
can be lowered (drop
by ~1.5 to 2.0 FTE’s)
SCIGN project installation:
250 sites by mid-2001
