13. Documenting Business Requirements Office ProcessesDataWorkload Data – Workflow interactions NEPA related projects are routed to resource specialists for internal review. Arch report contains scale sensitive information that is transferred to 7.5 topographic maps (sites & surveys). Archaeologists are responsible for determining if arch resources would be impacted by activity. Arch site boundaries information is used to determine location. Archaeologist review last. Topographic maps have been used since the late 70s and are difficult to read and make determinations. Due to increased Oil/Gas activity, resource staff spends large percentage of time reviewing projects Arch survey information is used to determine if adequate survey has been completed. Waiting for arch survey reports to be submitted to BLM by contract archaeologists. Topographic maps have been lost, stolen or misplaced. Large amount of time is spent manually matching up Arch reports with NEPA projects. Multiple maps exist for both project data and site boundaries. Certain areas of field office contain multiple topographic maps for same area (up to 7). If Archaeologist had issue with project, location was relocated and review process began again. Arch data is considered proprietary and maps are locked in cabinets from other BLM staff. Approximately 1,100 reports are gathered yearly. Maps are degraded and updated daily as new information becomes available.
