Title:

SubsurfaceRight

Geospatial_Data_Presentation_Form:vector digital data

Description:

Abstract:

This dataset displays ONLY tracts of Federal land of which the subsurface rights have also been acquired by the Federal government. All Federal oil and gas resources are leasable subject to stipulations necessary to mitigate or avoid adverse impacts on surface resource values. An analysis was done on each tract to determine surface occupancy conditions necessary to protect significant surface resource values while providing for the extraction of federally owned oil and gas. Federally owned oil and gas rights within the Wilderness and National Recreation Areas are congressionally withdrawn from mineral entry.

Purpose:

The purpose of this data is to support project-level planning, decision making, implementation and monitoring for Forest Service managers, GIS Specials and others.

The Forest Service uses the most current and complete data available. GIS data and product accuracy may vary. They may be developed from sources of differing accuracy; accurate only at certain scales; based on modeling or interpretation; incomplete while being created or revised; etc. Using GIS products for purposes other than those for which they were created, may yield inaccurate or misleading results. The Forest Service reserves the right to correct, update, modify, or replace this geospatial information without notification.
