HEC-FIA 3.4

Issue

DescriptionStatus
Agriculture Compute does not use Arrival Grid

Agriculture Compute did not utilize the 0ft arrival time grid provided. Instead arrival time was set to the start of the simulation. Agriculture compute updated to use the arrival grid.

RESOLVED

Form Structure Editor does not Delete Structures

When using the structure form editor to delete structures, the structures are deleted within the form editor, but still show up as part of the FDR computations when FIA is recomputed.

Workaround: Use the Map Window to Delete Structures

  1. Display the structure inventory in the map window
  2. Select the Structure Tool (Red House Button)
  3. Draw a polygon around the structures that you wish to delete. Highlighted structures will be yellow with a red outline
  4. Right click on the structures and select delete structures.

 


FUTURE VERSION

Agriculture grid projection issue

When importing an agriculture NASS CDL grid from https://croplandcros.scinet.usda.gov/ the .tif provided by the service has an incorrect projection. 

Solution: This issue does not occur when NASS CDL grids are downloaded from:  https://nassgeodata.gmu.edu/CropScape/

Recommend using Cropscape instead of cropland for NASS CDL Download.

FUTURE VERSION

ECAM Fails to ComputeCurrently ECAM compute results in a "Connection timed out" due to an issue with the ECAM webservice.

IN PROGRESS

Agriculture Price Index Factor does not impact crop damagesThe Agriculture Price Index Factor specified for each Emergency Planning Zone does not impact the crop damages calculated. 

FUTURE VERSION

Importing some Crop Types from NASS Fail

For some specific crop types FIA does not correctly create the .crop file. This is known to occur for:
Grassland/Pasture
Double Crop Winter Wheat/Sorghum
Double Crop Winter Wheat/Cotton

Workaround: Manually import the missing .crop files. Instructions can be found here on Discourse.
