Description:
The DRECP site survey composite is a union of several spatially-explicit model outputs and a subset of alternative-specific planning elements extracted from the integrated alternatives.

In addition to providing baseline biological and ecological information (e.g., species distributions and terrestrial intactness values), each polygon in this dataset links to a report that specifies the Conservation Management Actions (CMAs) required for renewable energy development projects undertaken at that location. The list of CMAs generated is based on the species or plant communities present and the ownership/planning designation of the polygon.

This version (5.0) also includes a link to a draft site survey report which provides graphing functionality and an interactive inset map.

This dataset contains information derived from the following model outputs, summarized at the 1km level:

  • Terrestrial Intactness
  • Conservation Value
  • Soil Sensitivity
  • Physical Refugia
  • Species Distributions
  • Natural Community Distributions

The following information is specified for each polygon in this dataset:

  • Planning designation:
             a. Development Focus Areas OR              
             b. Alternative Specific Reserve Design
                 Envelope

  • Ownership category:
              a. BLM Land OR
              b. Private and Other Public Lands
