• NFPORS Fuels Accomplishments
• Quality check Project Locations in NFPORS
• (better lat/long input)
• Explore development of creating a tool interface
  to dynamically link NFPORS with GIS Datasets
  (point locations treatment units and treatment
  polygons).
• Develop an internal process to implement creation
  of
• treatment polygons for input into NFPORS.
• (GPS and heads up digitizing)
• There are some possibilities to do a pilot test
  with the USGS to
• 1) Uploading Treatments via the internet
  (ArcIms).
• 2) Using ArcIms as a GIS Web Service to link
  directly to the NFPORS polygon and database
  information.
