    • BLM Natl WesternUS FIAT Project Planning Areas 2015 Polygon

    Metadata Updated: November 25, 2025

    This data represents a management strategy of the Fire and Invasives Assessment Tool (FIAT). Project Planning Area (PPA) polygons are part of the FIAT Step 2 process. FIAT was developed using a process designed to identify strategies that ameliorate threats to Greater Sage-Grouse (GRSG; Centrocercus urophasianus) and their habitats. While the assessment is applicable across the range of sage-grouse, the analysis is limited to Western Association of Fish and Wildlife Management Agencies’(WAFWA) Management Zones III, IV, and V (roughly the Great Basin region) because of the significant issues associated with invasive annual grasses and the high level of wildfires in this region. It incorporates emerging science, regional findings, and local data in identifying management opportunities that counter detrimental ecological trends in wildfire, invasive annual grasses, and conifer expansion. The purpose of the assessment is to identify potential project areas and management strategies in highly valued greater sage-grouse habitats which, if implemented, would reduce the threats to greater sage-grouse. Each of the five assessment area teams identified broad PPA's and associated proactive and reactive management strategies and associated vegetation treatments focused on the four program areas (fuels management, fire operations, habitat restoration and recovery, and post-fire rehabilitation management). The teams used focal habitats as the spatial starting point and through the Step 2 process, identified unique PPAs. Each PPA contains at least one focal habitat, and in many cases, several.
