Description: This dataset depicts the Utah State Boundary as digitized from USGS 7.5 minute quad map series. The boundary should be coincident with the outer boundary of the SGID024.CountyBoundaries dataset. Minor adjustments were made to align with the Newest PLSS-GCDB layers from BLM (CadNSDIv2), biggest move was along the Wyoming and Summit County lines, 47 feet all in non-populated areas (7/18/2014).

Description: This data set was created to depict the prioritization of Greater Sage Grouse Habitat Management Areas from the BLM Greater Sage Grouse Land Use Planning Strategy in the Utah Sub Region. This data was developed to reflect the prioritizations of the final agency decision to amend fourteen BLM land use plans throughout the State of Utah. This planning process was initiated through issuance of a Notice of Intent published on December 6, 2011. This dataset is associated with the Record of Decision and Approved Resource Management Plan Amendments for the Great Basin Region, released to the public via a Notice of Availability on September 24, 2015. The purpose of the planning process was to address protection of greater sage grouse, in partial response to a March 2010 decision by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) that found the greater sage grouse was eligible for listing under the authorities of the Endangered Species Act. The planning process resulted in preparation of a draft environmental impact statement (DEIS) and final environmental impact statement (FEIS) in close coordination with cooperating agencies for the planning effort. The planning effort addressed the adequacy of regulatory mechanisms found in the land use plans, as well as addressing the myriad threats to grouse and their habitat that were identified by the FWS. The data include the identification of priority and general habitat management areas, as well as a portion occupied habitat within the planning area identified as neither priority or general. Definitions of priority and general, as well as the management associated with each, are located in the Utah Greater Sage Grouse Approved Resource Management Plan Amendment.
Description: This feature class shows the spatial extent and boundaries of Areas of Critical Environmental Concern (ACECs) in Utah that have become officially designated by the BLM through the land use planning process.
Description: This dataset depicts the 1:24,000 scale land ownership status and areas of responsibility for the State of Utah. Revisions are posted weekly on the AGRC SGID. Maintenance of this data layer is performed by a cooperative federal and state effort. The Utah School and Institutional Trust Lands Administration (SITLA) revises this data regularly to reflect changes in State Trust Lands, other State Land and Private Land as needed. The BLM revises this data regularly to reflect changes in Federal Land as needed. Other information is edited and updated as needed but not on a regular schedule.
