Data collected and managed by Forest Service programs is available in a map service and two downloadable file formats – in a shape file and an ESRI file geodatabase.
Metadata is available that describes the content, source, and currency of the data.
You can filter the list by the topic categories in the menu at the left to help you find information you are interested in.
You can view the feature classes in a single dataset by clicking on the name of the parent dataset at the bottom of the abstract.
Shapefile Limitation Warning:
The Enterprise Data Warehouse Team has identified certain technical limitations of shapefiles which
make them not suitable for all datasets within this clearinghouse. Due to file size limits as well as attribute name
length and field length restrictions leading to inevitable data loss, the EDW Team is unable to support
shapefile exports for larger datasets. There are other methods to accessing this data in addition to the Esri File
Geodatabase (FGDB) including the map service or the Geospatial Data Discovery Tool.
Requests for KML/KMZ output
The Enterprise Data Warehouse Team tested exporting out to KML/KMZ files as a deliverable and due to the complexity and size of the datasets this has been unsuccessful.
To obtain a KML file for any EDW dataset, go to the Geospatial Data Discovery Tool and search for the dataset. An option to download to KML is available from that website.

Abstract
Aerial Fire Retardant Hydrographic Avoidance Areas: Aquatic - Region 1
Aerial retardant avoidance area for hydrographic feature data are based on high resolution National Hydrographic Dataset (NHD) produced by USGS and available from the USFS. Forests and/or regions have had the opportunity to modify the default NHD water representation (300ft buffer from all water features) for their areas of interest to accurately represent aerial fire retardant avoidance areas as described in the 2011 Record of Decision for the Nationwide Aerial Application of Fire Retardant on National Forest System Land EIS. These changes have been integrated into this dataset depicting aerial fire retardant avoidance areas for hydrographic features. Note that this data is current for 2023.
Purpose:
This layer depicts aerial fire retardant hydrographic avoidance areas for use in digital, hardcopy, and online mapping to support the 2011 Record of Decision for the Nationwide Aerial Application of Fire Retardant on National Forest System Land EIS. This data was originally used in the creation of 2011 retardant avoidance map products, but has now been locally modified to create the current 2023 suite of avoidance products.
