U.S. Forest Service 20260501 030153 vector digital data http://data.fs.usda.gov/geodata/edw/datasets.php The Brush Disposal Program (BD) was established in 1916. It requires all purchasers of National Forest timber to make deposits to the United States for the estimated cost of disposing of brush and other unwanted debris (slash) resulting from its cutting operations on timber sale contracts, stewardship contracts and permits, that are not disposed of by the purchaser. The geospatial representation portrays the footprint area where activities funded through BDBD budget line item (BLI) and PPPP (Purchaser elect) and reported through the Forest Service Activity Tracking System (FACTS) database are located in the landscape database. Not all Forest Service units have debris generated requiring BD funds for disposal. Brush disposal activities must be consistent with direction established in forest land and resource management plans, and identified in environmental documents developed in accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA). It is important to note that this layer may not contain all brush disposal activities; the spatial portion of the activity description is not currently enforced by FACTS and at this time is optionally reported by Forest Service units. As spatial data is a new requirement for all brush disposal activities, we hope to improve the quality and comprehensiveness of the data used to develop this layer in coming years. The Brush Disposal Activity feature class provides areas to compare activities associated with the program of work for brush disposal. When national forest timber is sold, receipts generated by the sale can be retained by the Forest Service to pay for activities covered under a trust fund. The Brush Disposal funds is for treating or remediating slash (woody debris) created by the timber sale itself. 20160822 publication date In work Weekly -124.416139 -72.894365 49.001148 32.639238 None Brush Disposal Ecosystem Restoration Activities U.S. Forest Service Vegetation Management ISO 19115 Topic Categories environment None The USDA Forest Service makes no warranty, expressed or implied, including the warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose, nor assumes any legal liability or responsibility for the accuracy, reliability, completeness or utility of these geospatial data, or for the improper or incorrect use of these geospatial data.

Data is accurate up to the publication date and attribute domains are valid values from Natural Resource Manager (NRM) Forest Activity Tracking System (FACTS). Generally the source information used to record spatial locations are from: 1) on-screen digitizing with a georeferenced topographic or image background; or 2) GPS field collected positions. Forest Service Activity Tracking (FACTS) spatial features in ActivityPolygon_Subunit and tabular data from ACTIVITY_FACTS_ATTRIBUTES are merged based on like spatial identification codes (SUID) in each set of data. A spatial feature will be created for every activity record in the Activity_Facts_Attribute tabular table. Only changed or new data in the sources are processed.
