SCOPE OF SERVICES 
F. 
INTRODUCTION: 
 
InSAR has proven to be a valuable tool in detecting differential subsidence due to groundwater withdrawal at areas of 
ground movement being studied by the District. Interferometry has the capability to detect and quantify minute changes in 
terrain elevation by comparing phase variances of satellite-based, side-looking radar data between satellite orbits of a 
similar trajectory. Subtle variations in the shape of ground deformation lend considerable insight regarding the influence 
of local geologic conditions on the distribution of resultant horizontal strains. In turn, this aids in predicting the location 
and timing of future ground movement and rupture. The continued use of InSAR is needed to provide a regional 
delineation of subsidence behavior and monitoring of ground movement at District dams and other structures. 
 
G. SCOPE OF WORK: 
 
Task 1:  
 
The Department shall produce all InSAR products for ground deformation monitoring in a GeoTIFF format, 
accompanied by a metadata text file, describing in detail the various parameters and source information for the image 
obtained. To ensure annual coverage, the Department shall obtain a minimum of four (4) images of each study area 
per year. The detailed metadata format should initially be structured considering the Federal Geographic Data 
Committee (FGDC) standards for geospatial metadata. Once the ISO/Technical Committee 211 prepares Remote 
Sensing Extensions for the ISO metadata standard ISO 19115, the format should be adjusted to conform. For 
differential InSAR products, the following information will be documented, at a minimum: 
 
• 
General 
• 
Status (preliminary, draft, final...) 
• 
Date of Submission 
• 
Spatial reference data 
• 
Description of software used to process data 
• 
Source of SAR data (identify satellite) 
• 
Identity of processor, including contact, phone, and address 
• 
Data acquisition times 
• 
Duration, in both months and days 
• 
Dimension of full fringe of interferometric display 
• 
Pixel· size 
• 
Specify trajectory of satellite at acquisitions, including directions, incident angles and 
ascension/dissension made of satellite 
 
Task 2: 
 
Subsequent to an analysis of preliminary detection imagery, xyz files of the unwrapped differential interferograms 
will be provided. The most convenient and readily usable format for this information appears to be ESRI grid. Each 
SAR image and differential interferogram should be formatted accordingly, and included in a Deliverable, with both 
xyz files in ESRI grids and companion GeoTIFF image files. 
 
Regions of decorrelation in processed differential interferograms will be presented in both masked and unmasked 
formats. A full-fringe parameter equal to ½ of the radar wavelength and a color spectrum of blue-green-
yellow­orange-red are most desirable for GeoTIFF differential interferogram images.  
 
A signal track (z-dimension) accuracy of about plus/minus 3 millimeters (mm) is acceptable for ground subsidence 
monitoring.

• 
Powerline FRS, Vineyard Road FRS, and Rittenhouse FRS (“PVR”) Study Area-bound by US 60 to the 
North and Queen Creek to the South. 
 
 
 
Deliverable: The Department shall submit the InSAR products for the McMicken Dam, White Tanks FRS No. 3, 
White Tanks FRS No. 4, and Buckeye FRS No. 1 Study Areas (“West Valley InSAR”) to the District annually by 
December 31. The Department shall submit the InSAR products for the PVR Study Area to the District annually by 
June 30. 
 
Task 3: 
 
Pending the availability of funds under this Agreement, the District and the Department may agree in writing on the 
acquisition of additional InSAR products for areas of interest in addition to the areas of interest specified above.
