Upcoming Aerial Surveys of the Winooski River

Whiteout Solutions has been contracted by Stone Environmental Inc. and the Town of Richmond to perform aerial surveys along approximately 4.8 miles of the Winooski River between where i89 passes over the Winooski in the North to approximately where Cochran Rd passes over the Winooski in Jonesville. The data collected will help create high-resolution elevation models and detailed 3D maps of the river.

What to Expect

• Survey Period: May 7^th, 8^th or 9^th  weather dependent (the survey will be delayed if needed based on weather conditions)
• Flight Methods: The aerial survey will be conducted using a helicopter equipped with topobathymetric LiDAR and high-resolution imaging systems. The helicopter will fly about 380 feet above the ground at a speed of about 28 knots.
• Pilots & Field Teams: All helicopter operations will be conducted by FAA Part 107 certified pilots. Field teams may also be visible in the area, placing or retrieving ground control points.
• Total flight is expected to take about an hour.
