1. A method for combining pollution source information with geographical and temporal information for a land-disturbing construction site, the method comprising:

  • providing pollution source information comprising a feature class storing data relating to a pollution source, the feature class selected from at least three feature classes for representing geographic natures of different pollution sources, wherein the at least three feature classes are used in determining whether a pollution source will be spatially represented as a point, a line, or a polygon;

    providing geographic and temporal information regarding one or more activities on a construction site, wherein providing the geographic information comprises providing locations of one or more corrective actions associated with the pollution source information, wherein providing temporal information comprises providing an installation date, status updates, and a removal date of the one or more corrective actions;

    combining the pollution source information with the geographic information and temporal information into an interactive map, wherein combining the pollution source information with the geographic information comprises;

    georeferencing a site plan for the construction site, wherein the site plan is a digitalized version of a paper site plan including physical or geographical features associated with the construction site, wherein georeferencing the site plan comprises selecting at least two location discernible points on the site plan associated with one or more of the physical or geographical features, overlaying the site plan on a real world base map comprising satellite imagery, and aligning the site plan and the real world base map by matching the at least two location discernible points on the site plan and corresponding points on the real world base map, and spatially representing the pollution source of the feature class on the georeferenced site plan according to the pollution source information; and

    displaying, on a display device associated with a computer, the interactive map, wherein the interactive map is configured to display corrective actions related to a location on the interactive map when the location is selected, wherein the interactive map includes a time slider widget for displaying the corrective actions based on statuses of the corrective actions during time periods selected using the time slider widget.
