The column labels differed among Field Office\u2019s (e.g, \u201cpotential\u201d, \u201cdevpot\u201d, \u201cdevelopment\u201d, etc.)\na.\tThe non-quantified categories included: VERY HIGH, HIGH, MODERATE, LOW, NONE, NEGLIGIBLE, NOT ASSESSED.\nb.\tDifferent offices examined oil separate from gas; others combined the projection.\nc.\tThe attribute tables contained non-quantified categories for the following FO/Districts/RMPs: Dillon, South Dakota, HiLine, Big Horn Basin, Casper, Kemmerer, Lander, Pinedale, and Rawlins. However, sometimes oil categories were not quantified, sometimes gas were not, sometimes the combined were not.\nd.\tWhen numerical categories were provided, they were presented as ranges, e.g., 5-20 wells per township. Numerical categories were not the same among offices, nor between oil and gas.\ne.\tAny areas classified as \u201cNot Assessed\u201d were given the value of \u201c0\u201d since they represent areas off-limits to oil and gas development, such as wilderness areas.\nf.\tDean Stilwell, BLM Casper, WY, provided midpoints for categories that he developed for the BLM as an attachment to an email on 22 May 2014 [StilwellEdits_DRAFT_notes_standardizing_RFD_categories_v2.docx].\n\n6.\tNotes where decisions on categories were made are highlighted in bright green. Sometimes these decisions were arbitrary, but are so noted.\n\n7.\tWhen categories overlapped, e.g., 2-10 and 10-20, midpoints were calculated by starting the higher category with the next higher number. In this example, 2-10 and 11-20.\n\n8.\tNon-quantified categories in the attribute tables of the spatial data were quantified when possible as follows. \nMT/ND/SD:\nBILLINGS:\nNo spatial data as of 30 April 2014\nDILLON: \nOil & Gas Combined (Conventional and CBNG):\nLaurie Blinn, BLM informed me that these categories were based on geological expert opinion and were never quantified\nHILINE:\nOil & Gas Conventional:\nhttp://www.blm.gov/pgdata/etc/medialib/blm/mt/field_offices/malta/rmp/docs.Par.96769.File.dat/HiLine_OilGasRFD.pdf , \nFrom Page 68\nHigh: 54\nModerate: 70 [Note: might High and Moderate be reversed?]\nLow:\nVery Low:\nFrom Page 77 [These are the ones used.]:\nHigh: 110\nModerate: 60\nLow: 11\nVery Low: 0.5\nCBNG:\nFrom Page 78:\nVery Low: 0.5\nNOTE: The 2013 data provided appeared to be for both Conventional Oil & Gas and CGNG combined, as there was no distinction in the attribute table, and was treated that way.

For areas where no quantification was done (e.g., Dillon), the columns will remain empty.\nc.\tPotMid: The only common value among areas is the midpoint/ point estimate, and where ranges of estimates are provided, the midpoint will be used. For the first attempt at additional analysis, only the midpoint will be used. At a later stage similar columns will be considered for inclusion as the Maximum and Minimum estimates. However, these data are sparse across all geography.\nd.\tThe maximum category is often presented as an inequality, e.g., >100, and the next lower category as X to 100. Therefore, the maximum category was assigned the next highest number. In this example, the value assigned would be 101.\ne.\tFor areas with separate estimates for Conventional and CBNG, the estimate for a township will be summed.\nf.\tAll townships will be merged.\ng.\tVarious algorithms for categorization in ArcGIS will be examined for categorizing the data, including natural breakpoints, six uniform/equal categories, and others.\nh.\tCategories will be symbolized at the township scale. We recognize that all townships are not of equal size for at least three reasons: (1) inaccuracies in base spatial CadNSDI (PLSS) data, (2) political boundary conditions, and (3) survey correction lines. For our first iteration of the analysis, we will simply ignore these problems and not attempt to normalize slivers, polygons of zero size, and townships of unequal size by area or other characteristic.\n\n10.\tColour Scheme used to symbolize the non-numeric categories, using colours that seemed to work well for my level of colour-blindness:\nNon-numeric Category\tCoulour Name (ArcGIS)\tColumn-Row in Colour Table\nVery High\tMars Red\t2 \u2013 3\nHigh\tFire Red\t3 - 3\nModerate\tSeville Orange\t4 - 4\nLow\tQuetzel Green\t7 \u2013 4\nVery Low\tSolar Yellow\t5 - 3\nNegligible\tTopaz Sand\t4 - 1\nNone\tMoorea Blue\t10 - 4\nNot Assessed\tSugilite Sky\t10 \u2013 1\n\n\n11.\tThis is the step-by-step procedure used for adding the midpoint values to the attribute tables in ArcMap 10.2.1.
