Actv_ProjectArea_TimberSale represents an area (polygon) within which one or more Timber Sale related activities are aggregated or organized. The data comes from the Forest Service's Natural Resource Manager (NRM) Forest Activity Tracking System (FACTS), which is the agency standard for managing information about activities related to fire/fuels, silviculture, and invasive species. FACTS is an activity tracking application for all levels of the Forest Service.
This dataset is a central source for project area boundaries for use in national information requests and cross unit analysis and makes the project area boundaries and their basic attributes more easily available to field units. It also provides public access to the data during project planning and implementation.
This feature class is part of a larger dataset of project areas which are described as NEPA (National Environmental Policy Act), Timber Sales, SAI Plans (Sale Area Improvement Plans), CFLRP (Collaborative Forest Landscape Restoration Program), Stewardship, and Other non-standard boundaries. These extents illustrate areas in which many activities occur that have a relationship. A boundary is, as itself, not an activity, it is the extent within which activities occur. For example, a project area for Timber Sale is the contractual area in which harvesting can take place. A NEPA boundary defines where the analysis takes place allowing future activities. An SAI Plan contains the area that KV (Knutson-Vandenberg) funded activities can take place. A Timber Sale designation is used for both the Timber Sale and SAI Plan if the SAI plan boundary is identical to the timber sale boundary. If the SAI plan is less than the Timber Sale boundary, both Timber Sale and SAI Plan boundaries are created. CFLRP boundaries encompass science-based ecosystem restoration of priority forest landscapes activities. Stewardship Boundaries define where stewardship funded activities take place.

FACTS Activity data is entered into the FACTS application by field units to describe planned or accomplished actions on the ground. The project areas encompassing these activities are also described in FACTS. 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.
Data is accurate up to the publication date and attribute domains are valid values from Natural Resource Manager (NRM) Forest Activity Tracking System (FACTS).
Variable based on forest location – See Data_Source field for feature-specific accuracy.
Data from an Oracle FACTS Sales user view is joined to the spatial NRM FACTS Project Area polygons based on Unit ID, CN, and Name. Merged data is filtered to select project types TimberSale before inserting data into EDW dataset. The process is run Sunday through Friday nights.
