ecological_impact_Desc (type: esriFieldTypeString, alias: Ecolical Impact DescriptionThis analysis is the backbone of the score sheet. Projects will be scored based on overlap with high value wildlife habitats. High value wildlife habitats used in the "heat map" include; Crucial Winter Range (Mule Deer, Pronghorn, Elk, Moose, BH Sheep, Mountain Goat, Whitetail Deer), Big Game Designated and Identified Migration Corridors, MDI Herds, Sage Grouse Core, Connectivity, and Winter Concentration area(s), WHMAs, PAAs, Bird and Mammal SGCN, and SHP Enhancement Priority Areas. A score of 40 represents the highest potential ecological impact score. Individual project scores will be auto generated through a GIS application. The highest score generated anywhere within a project polygon will be the ecological impact score assigned to the project., SQL Type: sqlTypeOther, length: 255, nullable: true, editable: true)
RR_instructions (type: esriFieldTypeString, alias: Description of the Resilience andResistance score?, SQL Type: sqlTypeOther, length: 255, nullable: true, editable: true, Coded Values: [show: Show me])
RR_Desc (type: esriFieldTypeString, alias: Resilience and Resistance DescriptionThis criterion is used to determine the potential success of a project based on the mapped Resistance and Resilience layers (Chambers et al. 2016) which consist of High, Medium and Low areas. Treatments with a higher R&R score hypothetically have a higher likelihood of long-term success post-treatment. This value will be generated through a GIS application and will use the highest score from anywhere within the polygon to represent the entire project., SQL Type: sqlTypeOther, length: 255, nullable: true, editable: true)

distribution_Desc (type: esriFieldTypeString, alias: Infestation Establishment and Size: More points are awarded to Early Detection Rapid Response (EDRR) projects, vectors such as roads and trails as well as smaller sites (e. g. expansion areas, leading edge of infestation) that are comparatively easy to successfully manage. All Ventenata projects are not EDRR. This consideration needs to be reserved for those areas that are truely new isolated infestations that need to be stopped in order to prevent a larger effort in the future. Leading edge is evaluated by considering how much of the larger landscape is invaded with the IAG. This could be considered on a drainage or watershed level, and needs to be done across all land ownership boundaries. Projects that have great potential to expand into large uninvaded landscapes need to be prioritized. Species Composition Within Treatment Area: This criterion requires users to compare characteristics of an infested site's habitat and ecological quality to similar (reference) communities. In project areas with variable infestation levels, this evaluation should represent the most typical infestation conditions. More points are awarded to sites with Level 1-3 Invasion State (Mealor et al. 2013) or those projects which continue to prevent invasion. Recent disturbances (within the last two years) on sites suitable for invasion from AIGs are considered important high priority treatments in order to prevent AIG expansion into additional areas. Roadside situations that serve as a vector to bring IAGs into areas that generally lack infestation should be prioritized even though hydrology and species composition is not necessarily typical of native rangeland or grassland landscapes. Sites which can support sagebrush should not be scored above the Co-dominant level if sagebrush has been removed from the site. Projects with a Minor component should still have natural hydrologic function in place, based on site potential., SQL Type: sqlTypeOther, length: 255, nullable: true, editable: true)
infestation_size (type: esriFieldTypeString, alias: Infestation establishment and size, SQL Type: sqlTypeOther, length: 255, nullable: true, editable: true, Coded Values: [EDRR: New Isolated Infestation, EDRR (Early Detection Rapid Response) patch size less than 25 acres, or vectors like roads/trails (10 pts)], [leading_edge: Leading Edge of Infestation (<20% of landscape) (8 pts)], [longterm: Stable, Long-Term Established Infestation (3 pts)])

coordination_Desc (type: esriFieldTypeString, alias: The intent is for projects to intentionally work across land ownership boundaries. However, those projects where the IAG only occurs on one landowner should not be penalized. An established working relationship may include previous collaboration on a management project, agreement to coordinate timing of treatments across boundaries, or landowner coordination of livestock management post-treatment. Projects that are implemented in close proximity to each other should prevent the spread of seeds into treatment areas, thus protecting the investment already made. If there are extenuating circumstances including smaller pilot projects in a new area, these components can be discussed in the Unique Considerations narrative., SQL Type: sqlTypeOther, length: 255, nullable: true, editable: true)
ownership (type: esriFieldTypeString, alias: Ownership, SQL Type: sqlTypeOther, length: 255, nullable: true, editable: true, Coded Values: [working_relationship: Shared Patch Ownership with Working Relationship (10 pts)], [single_patch: Single Patch Ownership (8 pts)], [no_relationship: Shared Patch Ownership without Relationship Established (1 pt)])
proximity (type: esriFieldTypeString, alias: Proximity to other treatments, SQL Type: sqlTypeOther, length: 255, nullable: true, editable: true, Coded Values: [1_mile: Treatment(s) within 1 mile of previous/concurrent project which minimizes seed spread into the current project, with pooled funding resources/partnerships, or EDRR (10 pts)], [pre_post: Treatment(s) pre- or post- vegetation management project (e.g.: RX burn or Juniper thinning) (9 pts)], [pooled_resources: Treatment(s) > 1 mile of another project and includes pooled funding resources/partnerships (6 pts)], ... 1 more ...)

considerations_Desc (type: esriFieldTypeString, alias: This criterion provides an opportunity for projects to generate additional points based on important site specific attributes not covered above. Projects containing both Medusahead and Ventenata should only be awarded points for one species. Re-treatments are project areas which have been previously treated with herbicide, and this proposal would prevent re-infestation on land where investments have already been made. Additional points for Commission managed lands (i.e., WHMA, PAAs) are intended to ensure investments into these properties, purchased for the benefit of wildlife, are prioritized for treatment. Lands where we have some influence over management (i.e., WIAs, HMAs, or WGFC-held Conservation Easements) will also be granted the same amount of additional points. Areas in north central or north east Wyoming where significant sagebrush has been lost due to wildfire will be given additional points to protect crucial ranges or sage-grouse habitat., SQL Type: sqlTypeOther, length: 255, nullable: true, editable: true)
species_consider (type: esriFieldTypeString, alias: Select one if the project addresses these species, SQL Type: sqlTypeOther, length: 255, nullable: true, editable: true, Coded Values: [medusahead: Medusahead project (40 pts)], [ventenata: Ventenata project (20 pts)])
