Project Planning and Analysis Reports

Project Planning and Analysis Reports employ ALL Consulting's data aggregation engine that matches the land sections defined by the user to the available data relating to water resources, cultural resources, livestock, industry, air quality, and other select data points. The system performs statistical calculations and reports the data specific to the area of consideration for the foundation of Best Management Practices to develop the area.

To select a study area to analyze, click on the "Select Sections" tool (). Note: The map must be zoomed to a level that sections are available.

After selecting the Select Sections tool, click on a section of interest or drag the tool over several sections. The selected sections will turn orange and a list will be displayed on the left panel by Tier, Range, and Section Number. To deselect a section, click on the section. If another section needs to be added, simply click on another section or use the selection tool to select multiple sections. To clear all sections, click on the "Clear All Sections" link below the list of section on the left.

Once the desired sections are selected, click on the "Open Report" link. The report generation wizard uses three steps to produce the report requested: 1. Section Review; 2. Layer Selections; and 3. Report Generation.

1. Section Review: Review the sections listed for confirmation of desired area to review. Click "Next" to continue to Layer Selection or "Back" to select different sections.

2. Layer Selection: Review the list of available options available to include in the report. Deselect (un-check) those options which are not desired. Click "Next" to begin processing the report or "Back" to return to the Section Review window.

3. Report Generation: The report is generated and displayed by being divided by major sections including: Basemap, Land Designation, Oil and Gas, Water and Powder River Basin data. Clicking on the heading displays the legend for that feature. Area measurements are in acres and length measurements are in miles.
