BLM REA SNK 2010 Current Road Footprint Change Agent

A polygon dataset of current road footprints in the SNK REA derived from the Alaska Department of Natural Resources infrastructure data (see the process steps for details). (This data depicts infrastructure locations in Alaska as digitized primarily from 1:24,000, 1:63,360, and 1:250,000 USGS quadrangles. The source document that represented the newest information and best geographic location was used to capture the data. All infrastructure from the primary source document was digitized and then supplemented with the information from other source documents for additional or updated infrastructure or attributes.)

Compilation of Geospatial Data (GIS) for the Mineral Industries and Related Infrastructure of the People's Republic of China

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) has compiled a geodatabase containing mineral-related geospatial data for the People's Republic of China. The data can be used in analyses of the extractive fuel and nonfuel mineral industries and related economic and physical infrastructure integral for the successful operation of the mineral industries within the area of study as well as the movement of mineral products across domestic and global markets. This geodatabase reflects the USGS ongoing commitment to its mission of understanding the nature and distribution of global mineral commodity supply chains by updating and publishing the georeferenced locations of mineral commodity production and processing facilities, mineral...

Survey of electric utility rights-of-way practitioners

The electric transmission system is often discussed in the popular press as a topic of great concern, particularly in regard to the need for additional transmission lines over the next decade. The objective of this project was to gather information from energy company professionals who are charged with carrying out the task of developing utility rights-of-way (ROW), both for routing new transmission lines and upgrading existing ones. We asked them about current industry practices, technical issues, public involvement, and regulatory conditions affecting routing and upgrading transmission facilities, and about the changes they expect over the next five years. A total of 48 surveys related to electrical transmission...
