U.S. Forest Service 20250131 060523 vector digital data The Forest Service is aggressively implementing projects to mitigate the effects of the bark beetle in the Forest Service's western regions under the 2011 Western Bark Beetle Strategy. The strategy is being achieved through three well-defined goals: human safety, forest recovery, and long-term forest resiliency. https://www.fs.usda.gov/restoration/index.shtml http://data.fs.usda.gov/geodata/edw/datasets.php WBBS_PT depicts the location of activities to implement the Western Bark Beetle Strategy. Activities were self-reported by field units, and center around three main objectives: increasing safety to ensure that people and community infrastructure are protected from the hazards of falling bark beetle-killed trees and elevated wildfire potential, facilitating recovery to re-establish forests damaged by bark beetles, and cultivating resiliency to prevent or mitigate future bark beetle impacts. WBBS ended in FY16 and was not renewed, so it is no longer a requirement to track WBBS accomplishments. It became an optional entry to the National Resource Management (NRM) database beginning in FY2017. This data represents activities entered through FACTS (Forest Service Activity Tracking System) to implement the Western Bark Beetle Strategy. It is important to note that this data layer does not contain all of the activities under taken by fiscal year because the data is self-reported and may not be complete. As spatial data is a new requirement for the program, we hope to improve the quality and comprehensiveness of this data in coming years. Activities were self-reported by field units, and center around three main objectives: increasing safety to ensure that people and community infrastructure are protected from the hazards of falling bark beetle-killed trees and elevated wildfire potential, facilitating recovery to re-establish forests damaged by bark beetles, and cultivating resiliency to prevent or mitigate future bark beetle impacts. A required set of core attributes must be collected during field work and electronically stored in the corporate NRM FACTS application to meet the minimum business needs of this protocol. Required attributes are established to meet corporate expectations of reporting, monitoring or data sharing. All required and optional fields in this protocol are supported in the NRM FACTS application. Some attributes are auto-generated and populated in the FACTS application from the spatial feature. Detailed attribute descriptions and collection standards follow later in this document under Resource, Fields, Entity and Attribute Information. 20160212 publication date In work Daily -119.612155 -104.045269 48.968404 38.044414 None Activities Safety Resiliency Western Bark Beetle Strategy Recovery 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.

Washington DC 20250 US 202-205-1218 lemarshall@fs.fed.us United States Forest Service Natural Resource Manager (NRM) Forest Activity Tracking System (FACTS) https://www.fs.usda.gov/restoration/index.shtml Version 6.2 (Build 9200) ; Esri ArcGIS 10.9.1.28388 Data entry is accomplished by authorized Forest Service personnel through a web application behind the U.S. Forest Service firewall and is restricted by access requirement protocols. Further data checks occur during data migration, where certain fields such as ETL_MODIFIED and EDW_INSERT_DATE are populated with valid information. 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. Data from an Oracle Activity view with Project type like CFLRP is joined to the spatial NRM FACTS Activity polygons based on SUID. Polygons are duplicated for each record coming from the Oracle view. This process is run Sunday through Friday nights. 20160212 Vector Composite object 1504 S_USA.Activity_WBBS_PT A collection of geographic features with the same geometry type (such as point, line, or polygon), the same attributes, and the same spatial reference. http://support.esri.com/en/knowledgebase/GISDictionary/term/feature%20class OBJECTID Internal feature number.

SUID is one of the links between spatial and tabular data records. NRM FACTS The activity subunit that corresponds to the land encompassing the whole of the activity unit must have a subunit ID of '000'. When activities are performed on only a portion of an activity unit, a new subunit can be created to represent that portion. These subunits may be numbered in sequential order or you may wish to use letters that more easily identify the subunit. The subunit is identified in total by a concatenation of the AU (Activity Unit) Region, AU Proclaimed or Administrative Forest, AU District, FACTS ID, and Subunit fields. An example of a SUID is 0111021A51466541016. This first six numbers of this 19-digit code include the region/forest/district code (011102), followed by the ten-digit FACTS ID (1A51466541), and concluded with the three digit subunit (016). SUBUNIT An activity subunit is a portion of an activity unit. The activity subunit that corresponds to the land encompassing the whole of the activity unit must have a subunit ID of '000'. When activities are performed on only a portion of an activity unit, a new subunit can be created to represent that portion. These subunits may be numbered in sequential order or use letters that more easily identify the subunit. NRM FACTS An activity subunit is a portion of an activity unit.

STAGE Stages, as defined in FACTS, are used to spatially track an activity unit at certain points in the life of the unit. The NEPA Stage would track the activity unit at the time of the NEPA decision (if identified). The Layout Stage would track the activity unit at the time when the unit is laid out on the ground and could be the same or different than the activity unit at the NEPA Stage. The Accomplished Stage would track the activity unit when the activity that establishes the activity unit is completed. Again this could be the same or different than the NEPA and/or the Layout Stages.
