USDA Forest Service 20250201 193105 vector digital data http://data.fs.usda.gov/geodata/edw/datasets.php This layer contains features of aerial fire retardant avoidance areas delivered as part of the 2011 Nationwide Aerial Application of Fire Retardant on National Forest System Land Environmental Impact Statement. This Feature Class shows areas, provided by each National Forest who used aerial fire retardant from 2000-2010, where the aerial application of fire retardant should be avoided in order to prevent the potential of impacts to Federally listed threatened or endangered species as identified through consultation, or Forest Service sensitive species. Data includes location of terrestrial areas where the application of aerial fire retardant is to be avoided. This data is to be used in planning and implementation phases of U.S. Forest Service fire activities to help prevent misapplication of aerial fire retardant in known areas of TEPCS (Threatened, Endangered, Proposed, Candidate, Sensitive) species throughout National Forest lands. Provided here is a National merged dataset derived from each National Forest contribution. This data has been merged, dissolved, and erased of attributes contained in each original component dataset. For this purpose, specific attributes are not necessary, as any spatial areas depicted simply show areas where aerial fire retardant use is to be avoided as stated in U.S. Forest Service guidelines. The purpose of this dataset is to help determine areas where aerial fire retardant should be avoided within U.S. Forest Service lands. 20000101 20100101 publication date Complete As needed -150.007762 -76.746918 61.290847 28.960230 ISO 19115 Topic Categories environment None Aerial Fire Retardant Avoidance This data set is in the public domain, and the recipient may not assert any proprietary rights thereto nor represent it to any one as other than a data set produced by the USDA Forest Service.

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. U.S. Forest Service unpublished material 24000 onLine 20151122 publication date AFRAA Locational information for where aerial fire retardant must be avoided. This layer is an aggregation of Threatened, Endangered, Pending, and Candidate federally-listed species locations where aerial fire retardant must be avoided. Annually, a formal request for updates is provided to all national forests who use aerial fire retardant to update their locations of avoidance. When complete, all individual forests' data are aggregated together into a national layer while retaining a UnitID attribute to specify features within a particular national forest. Further, any forest may update their data at any time, and an automated process within the Enterprise Data Center automatically replaces any new data in this national layer. 20150101 Vector GT-polygon composed of chains 42328 S_USA.AerialFireRetardantAvoidance Feature Class: A collection of geographic features with the same geometry type (such as point, line, or polygon), the same attributes, and the same spatial reference.
