Information Bulletin:

This information bulletin announces the availability of and describes the recent updates to the Treatments Data Standard Version 3.

This dataset is the spatial corporate repository for land management treatments. Treatments for this purpose are defined as human alterations to the landscape for the purpose of natural resource management including use, enhancement, and protection.

The data standard and the GIS data are the spatial foundation for the Forestry, Fire, and Range programs, and their program specific applications. This corporate approach manages core data across resource programs to portray a comprehensive record of treatments for the BLM lands. This dataset is used for district, state, and regional needs for management and query of land management treatment.

The following changes were applied:

  • Reformatted document to meet Section 508 standards and match the latest data standard template.
  • Updated FOIA category, records retention schedule text, and keywords.
  • Updated architecture diagrams.
  • Added field aliases, edit tracking fields, default values for required fields, and constraint rules.
  • Updated Collection, Input, and Maintenance Protocols to reflect the correct field names.
  • Treatment feature classes renamed to TRT_BIO_POLY, TRT_BURN_POLY, TRT_CHEM_POLY, TRT_HARV_POLY, TRT_MECH_POLY, TRT_PROT_POLY, TRT_REVEG_POLY
  • Incorporated Forestry attributes into the feature classes. These attributes were previously held in related Micro*Storms tables.
  • Added additional tables to this document to describe forestry related tables.
  • Added field FRST_TRT to differentiate forestry treatments from all other business areas.
  • Added NATL_FLAG field to feature classes.
  • Added TSIS_LINKED and TSIS_ID fields to TRT_HARV_POLY.
  • Added FY_START and WORKAGENT to TRT_FRST_CNTRCT_TBL table.
  • Added codes to the following domains: dom_BIO_AGENT, dom_CHEM_BRAND, dom_CHEM_EPA, dom_CHEM_TYPE, dom_MECH_METH, dom_MECH_TYPE, dom_PHENOLOGY, dom_REASON, dom_WORKAGENT.
  • Changed domain name Chemical_Component_Carrier_Type_Name to VMAP_DOM_DILUENT_TYPE
  • Changed domain name Chemical_Agent_UOM_TYPE_NAME to dom_CHEM_UOM
  • Changed domain name dom_WEEDS_PlantSpeciesCode to dom_WEED_SPCS
  • RESOURCE_AREA changed to FIELD_OFFICE in the Forestry/Micro*Storms publication dataset.
  • Updated Section 8 Publication Views to better reflect the contents and design of the publication datasets.
