<DIV STYLE="text-align:Left;"><DIV><P><SPAN>This polygon feature class represents the BAER Assessment Boundary used by the Burned Area Emergency Assessment Team for the assessment of this fire, which may or may not match the final fire burn boundary. Differences in burn boundaries may occur for many reasons. The boundary used in the assessment most frequently matches the boundary delivered with the imagery classification, which may include area not mapped by the incident team. The Incident may continue to expand after deliver of the classified imagery. These additional areas would be addressed in subsequent interim assessments.</SPAN></P></DIV></DIV>

The transactional data is branched versioned via FS enterprise GeoPortal, the National BAER application will perform data QA/QC checks on the data prior to reconcile and posting to the Default version. Checks will include geometry check, attribute validation, checks for missing or incomplete attributes
Data completeness of BAER Assessment Boundary dataset reflects the contents of the boundary used by the Burned Area Emergency Response Team at the time of the BAER assessment and the National Incident Feature Service dataset was edited.
Targeted to “Geospatial Positioning Accuracy Standards, Part 3: National Standard for Spatial Data Accuracy, FGDC-STD-007.3-1998”. National Standard for Spatial Data Accuracy (NSSDA) (http://www.fgdc.gov/standards/projects/FGDC-standards-projects/accuracy/part3/chapter3).
Each Assessment boundary polygon is generated by an individual BAER assessment team and loaded into a national data layer. Generally, the boundary is initially created from the Incident Fire Perimeter dataset and the Burned Area Reflectance Classification (BARC) Imagery Analyst uses that for their analysis area. The polygon layer is delivered as part of the BARC package. This dataset is then enriched with additional attributes, loaded into a national Enterprise Geodatabase and from there published for use in EDW.

DATA_SOURCE
Feature data source code. The GIS Data Dictionary Data Source Codes provide information on how GIS point, line, and polygon features, in Forest Service geospatial datasets, have been derived. Each Data Source code description contains information on the data used to derive features. Code descriptions are based upon the data source and positional accuracy associated with those features. The Data Dictionary Data Source codes incorporate the codes described in Chapter 7, “Guidelines for Digital Map Base Updates” of Cartographic Specifications and Symbols (EM-7140-24) (Source Codes 01-24). New source codes describing features derived from different sources of remote sensing image data are also incorporated. Remote sensing source codes are categorized by general map scale levels typically used in resource mapping (Brohman and Bryant, 2003; Bailey, 1995; Natural Resources Conservation Service, 1994). Since image data have no inherent scale, for the purposes of this data source field, image scale is determined as a function of spatial resolution and positional accuracy using NMAS thresholds for specified map level accuracy requirements.

ACCURACY
Distance (+/-), in meters, of expected difference between feature and real world object locations. The accuracy field is populated with the root mean square error (RMS) value representing the overall geolocational accuracy of features in the dataset. RMS is determined from one of several sources. These sources include:
National Standard for Spatial Data Accuracy (NSSDA) testing guidelines (FGDC, 1998). Several examples are available for calculating spatial accuracy using NSSDA (FGDC, 1998; Minnesota Planning - Land Management Information Center, 1999).
The accuracy standard by which the data were evaluated when compiled such as the National Map Accuracy Standard (U.S Bureau of the Budget, 1947) or the ASPRS Accuracy Standard for Large Scale Maps (ASPRS 1990).
