The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Wyoming is offering a grant for the development and enhancement of high-resolution National Hydrography (NHD) and Watershed Boundary (WBD) datasets for Wyoming. Driven by environmental planning and resource monitoring requirements, this project involves essential research to establish robust technical data standards and spatial protocols. The selected recipient will apply these procedures to generate more accurate NHD and WBD datasets, collaborating with BLM on field research and ground-based verification. This partnership fosters efficient and cost-effective management of soil and water resources. The enhanced datasets will support academic programs in soil and water modeling, and be publicly accessible for permit applications, thereby benefiting Wyoming’s citizens and land users through improved resource management and protection.

| Description: | A. Project Background Information: In response to National Environmental Planning and Analysis (NEPA) requirements, resources monitoring directed by EIS Decision Records, and the need for analysis of impacts of surface disturbance on water quality, stream channel stability, and watershed health, BLM intends to implement research/development (R and D) and establishment of technical data standards, data criteria, and spatial data protocols for the creation of higher resolution National Hydrography (NHD) and Watershed Boundary (WBD) datasets for the State of Wyoming. This project will involve upon completion of the R and D, the recipient will, employing R and D established protocols and procedures, create more accurate and higher resolution NHD and WBD datasets. In addition, BLM and the recipient will work together in field research and ground-based verification of the digital and spatial data accuracy of NHD and WBD developed in the course of the project.
