Summary

These data were developed to estimate the likelihood that an area may be subject to large-scale energy development.

Description

The Energy Facility Siting Council (EFSC) for State permitting in Oregon has developed a list of sites that they consider "protected". EFSC will not issue energy development permits for these sites, per Oregon’s Administrative Rule 345-022-0040. This list was used with Protected Areas Dataset to map these exclusion zones. Some projects could still be approved by county or federal entities if they are below certain size threshholds.

Lineage statement
This dataset was developed by The Nature Conservancy in Oregon using data from one or more of the following sources:  Bureau of Land Management, Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife, Natural Resources Conservation Service, The Nature Conservancy, Institute of Natural Resources, United States Forest Service, Oregon Department of Agriculture, United States Fish and Wildlife Service, Oregon Department of Transportation, Oregon Department of Forestry, National Renewable Energy Laboratory, United States Geological Survey .

These data were created by TNC for use by ODFW in modeling renewable energy development potential in SE Oregon. An effort was made to map all lands excluded from Geothermal and/or Wind and Solar projects due to their protection as GAP1 or 2 lands in USGS’s National Gap Analysis Program (GAP) Protected Areas data (PAD) and/or as identified by the Energy Facility Siting Council (EFSC) for State permitting in Oregon’s Administrative Rule 345-022-0040 as “Protected Areas”, with the addition of more location information such as Federal lands within the Steens Mountain Cooperative Management and Protection Area (CMPA), as well as the Steens Mineral Withdrawal Area (MWA).

Description
The Protected Areas Database of the United States (PAD-US) is a geodatabase, managed by USGS GAP, that illustrates and describes public land ownership, management and other conservation lands, including voluntarily provided privately protected areas. The geodatabase contains four feature classes such as, Marine Protected Areas (MPA) and Easements that each contains uniquely associated attributes. These two feature classes are combined with the PAD-US Fee feature class to provide a full inventory of protected areas in a common schema (i.e. Combined file). Legitimate and other protected area overlaps exist in the full inventory, with Easements loaded on top of Fee and MPAs under both. Parcel data within a protected area are dissolved in this file that powers the PAD-US Viewer. As overlaps exist, GAP creates separate analytical layers to summarize area statistics for "GAP Status Code" and "Owner Name". Contact the PAD-US Coordinator for more information.
