HEC-FIA 3.3

Issue

DescriptionStatus
Agriculture grid projection issue

When importing an agriculture NASS CDL grid from https://croplandcros.scinet.usda.gov/ the resulting .tif created by FIA has a slightly different projection than expected.

Temporary solution: Manually replace the .tif file created by FIA in the Inventory/Agriculture Data folder with the original .tif input and a copied .prj file (using the same names that FIA used).  

Note: This issue has not been encountered when NASS CDL grids are downloaded from:  https://nassgeodata.gmu.edu/CropScape/

Recommend using the above location instead of cropland

FUTURE VERSION

Error sampling depths from RAS HDF filesIn some cases FIA would fail to correctly sample the depth of inundation from RAS HDF output. This only impacted the HDF Holdout Inundation Configuration used for Flood Damages Reduced. This issue has been addressed in HEC-FIA 3.4 Beta 2 and using RAS HDF output from 6.4.1 

RESOLVED

Terrain projection errorFor some terrains generated from ESRI, FIA cannot determine the projection, and continues to show the error multiple times in the console messages. As of FIA 3.4 Beta 2, FIA will provide a warning message in the console and will set the terrain projection to X-Y coordinates.

IMPROVED

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. 

IN PROGRESS

1 RESOLVED  -  Issues are fixed and will be available in the next release.

2 IN PROGRESS  -  Issues are currently being worked on.          

3 IMPROVED  -  The next version includes an incremental improvement but not a total fix

FUTURE VERSION  -  This requires a structural change or major development. The team will add it to a future version if funding permits.
