Surface Disturbance Footprint from Development for the Western United States The surface disturbance footprint raster data set quantifies the percent surface disturbance from development at a 90-meter resolution. The surface disturbance footprint is used to compute a multiscale index of landscape intactness for the Bureau of Land Management’s (BLM) landscape approach. The surface disturbance footprint is mapped for the western United States (17 states), by compiling and combining spatial data for four development disturbance variable classes. Development classes include urban land cover (impervious surface), agriculture (cropland), energy and mineral extraction and transport (oil and gas wells, solar arrays, wind turbines, surface mines, pipelines, and transmission lines), and transportation...

The terrestrial development index (TDI) represents the total percentage of the estimated surface disturbance footprint from development within a 5-kilometer (km) radius moving window. The TDI scores range from 0 to 100 percent. Methods are described in the companion report (see "Larger Work" section).

TDI scores represent the total percentage of the development footprint within a 2.5 kilometer (km) radius circular moving window. The TDI scores range from 0-100%. The TDI scores between 0-1% represent areas with few roads or a very low density of oil and gas wells. The TDI scores between 1-3% often include low densities of oil and gas wells and roads, whereas development index scores above 3% represent moderate to high levels of development, including relatively large oil and gas fields, surface mines, agricultural fields, centers of urban development,...

We developed a multiscale index of landscape intactness for the Bureau of Land Management’s (BLM) landscape approach, which requires multiple scales of information to quantify the cumulative effects of land use. The multiscale index of landscape intactness represents a gradient of anthropogenic influence as represented by development levels at two analysis scales. To create the index, we first mapped the surface disturbance footprint of development, for the western U.S., by compiling and combining spatial data for urban development, agriculture, energy and minerals, and transportation...

The Indemnity Units are federal lands, currently managed by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), under consideration for transfer of ownership to the State of Colorado in compensation for federal lands not available for transfer at the time of statehood. The companion data release (see "Cross Reference" section) was used to summarize the surface disturbance from development (development footprint) at...

This information is intended for use in conducting an environmental assessment prior to transfer of ownership (conveyance) to the State. The Enabling Act of 1864 provided for the conveyance of federal lands to the State for the support of schools. If designated lands were unavailable for transfer at the time of statehood, the Act provided for the transfer of alternative federal lands in compensation, using a process referred to as “school-land indemnity selection.” To initiate indemnity selection, the Colorado State Board of Land Commissioners...

The Enabling Act of 1864 provided for the conveyance of federal lands to the State for the support of schools.
