Description: This vector digital data set represents current training areas as polygons on Fort Drum Military Installation, Fort Drum, New York. Training areas are space for ground and air combat forces to practice movements and tactics as specified in the unit’s Army Training and Evaluation Program (ARTEP). Different unit types may work in support of one another (combined arms) or a unit may operate on its own to practice a specific set of ARTEP tasks. Per TC 25-1, Training Land, training areas are further defined in terms of the forces that use them (i.e., light, amphibious, and heavy forces). The training area geospatial data layer will depict select existing facilities within the DA PAM 415-28, Guide to Army Real Property Category Codes, basic category Impact, Maneuver, and Training Areas (177). In these instances, the training area geospatial data layer shall include facilities with the category codes: 17710 (Maneuver/Training Area, Light Forces) - Space for ground and air combat forces to practice movements and tactics as specified in the unit’s ARTEP. The “light” designation refers to areas where maneuver may be restricted for some reason to only small units or units having only wheeled vehicles. “Light” maneuver/training areas are not used by “heavy” forces other than assembly areas where movement is restricted to roads or trails. 17711 (Maneuver/Training Area, Amphibious Forces) - Space for ground and air combat forces to practice movements and tactics during amphibious (ship-to-shore) operations. Tasks can include both combat and logistics (especially logistics over the shore). 17720 (Maneuver/Training Area, Heavy Forces) - Space for ground and air combat forces to practice movements and tactics as specified in the unit’s ARTEP. The “heavy” designation refers to areas where maneuver is unrestricted and can consist of all types of vehicles and equipment, including tracked vehicles. “Heavy” maneuver/training areas can be used by “light” forces. The scope of this QAP is limited to training areas at Army locations with Real Property Asset Unique Identifiers (RPA_UID) found in the Headquarters Installation Information System (HQIIS) database. HQIIS is an Army enterprise level comprehensive information repository. HQIIS is populated from installation level real property databases including, but not limited to, General Fund Enterprise Business System (GFEBS), Planning Resource Infrastructure Development and Evaluation (PRIDE), Real Estate Management Information System (REMIS) and Rental Facility Management Information System (RFMIS).

Description: Areas in Jefferson, Lewis, and St. Lawrence County where there are municipal sewer services provided. Data was compiled using existing GIS data from DANC, insititutional knowledge from DANC opertaors, and RPS data from the Counties. This data is for reference purposes only: there may be areas shown in this data that are not currently served with municipal sewer but are close enough to services that they possibly could be connected; or there may be areas with existing municipal sewer services that are not listed.

Description: This data set contains areas that have been designated as Critical Environmental Areas (CEAs) under 6 NYCRR Part 617 - State Environmental Quality Review (SEQR). Local agencies may designate specific geographic areas within their boundaries as a "Critical Environmental Area" (CEA). State agencies may also designate as a CEA a geographic area which they own, manage or regulate. To be designated as a CEA, an area must have an exceptional or unique character which has a benefit or threat to human health, a natural setting (e.g. fish and wildlife habitat, forest and vegetation, open space and areas of important aesthetic or scenic quality), agricultural, social, cultural, historic, archaeological, recreational, or educational values, or an inherent ecological, geological or hydrological sensitivity that may be adversely affected by any change.

Description: Watershed Biodiversity ScoreGIS Process StepsStep 1: Obtain geodatabase feature class, "wbdhu12_a_US_march2015.gdb\WBDHU12". This dataset is a complete digital hydrologic unit boundary layer to the Subwatershed (12-digit) 6th level for the United States. Online linkage: ftp://ftp.ftw.nrcs.usda.gov/wbd/WBD_Latest_Version_March2015.Step 2: Clip WBDHU12 to NYS boundary plus 200 meters. Retain HUC_12 and HUC_12_Name in the feature class attribute table.Step 3: Tabulate the mean score for each watershed, calculated from the Biodiversity Indicator Tool ("BIT", 30 x 30 m raster).Step 4: Calculate Z-score for each watershed, Z = (population mean - watershed mean) / population standard deviation. Population mean = 39.3, population s.d. = 12.8. Join Z-scores to feature class attribute table.Step 5: Add field Score (alias "Score") to attribute table, and calculate values. Score = 5 (highest) to 1 (lowest). Value is derived from normal probability distribution for Z-scores. Example: Score 5 = Z-scores in the highest 5% (95th percentile) of the normal probability distribution.The Watershed Biodiversity Layer File depicts the Watershed Biodiversity Score on a red-green color ramp, where red indicates high scores, and green indicates low scores. The layer file represents only one possible visualization of the data.

Description: Army Compatible Use Buffer (ACUB) priority areas define the geographic limits targeted for protection from incompatible development. An ACUB priority area is an area surrounding, adjacent, or ecologically related to an installation where encroachment has or may in the future impede the training activities of the installation. It may also include lands that would allow the installation to meet its environmental obligations by preserving threatened or endangered habitats or species off-site thereby reducing on-site hindrances to training activities. ACUB priority areas must be reviewed and approved by the Department of the Army Headquarters (HQDA) in order for installations to be authorized to expend resources in accordance with Title 10, Section 2684a of United States Code as amended. 10 USC 2684a grants the Secretary of Defense or the Secretary of a military department the authority to enter into an agreement with an eligible entity or entities for the purpose of establishing a buffer around a military installation or airspace, or an area ecologically related to an installation to mitigate current or possible future constraints to training activities.

Description: The National Register of Historic Places is the official list of the Nation's historic places worthy of preservation. Authorized by the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 ( Federal Regulation 36 CFR 60<http://www.nps.gov/history/nr/regulations.htm> ) the National Park Service's National Register of Historic Places is part of a national program to coordinate and support public and private efforts to identify, evaluate, and protect America's historic and archeological resources. To be considered eligible, a building, district, structure or object must meet the National Register Criteria for Evaluation<http://www.nps.gov/nr/publications/bulletins/nrb15/nrb15_2.htm>. This involves examining the property’s age, integrity, and significance.Is the property old enough to be considered historic (generally at least 50 years old) and does it still look much the way it did in the past? Is the property associated with events, activities, or developments that were important in the past? With the lives of people who were important in the past? With significant architectural history, landscape history, or engineering achievements? Does it have the potential to yield information through archeological investigation about our past? Registered properties and properties determined eligible for the Register receive a measure of protection from the effects of federal and/or state agency sponsored, licensed or assisted projects through a notice, review, and consultation process. Owners of depreciable, certified historic properties may take a 20 percent federal income tax credit for the costs of substantial rehabilitation as provided for under the Tax Reform Act of 1986. Municipal and not-for-profit owners of listed historic properties may apply for matching state historic preservation grants. There are no restrictions placed on private owners of registered properties. Private property owners may sell, alter or dispose of their property as they wish.
