Description: The Arkansas Historic District dataset contains the boundaries for all historic districts in Arkansas. The districts are formally designated through a process administered by the Arkansas Historic Preservation Program. These areas typically contain a concentration of buildings where half the structures are at least 50 years old and represent important elements of the areas. Property owners within the District may become eligible for federal tax credits through rehabilitation projects.The designation follows the process outlined below:The mayor or other representative of the interested city contacts the AHPP to express interest in the project.AHPP historians will visit the city to evaluate whether or not a sufficient concentration of historic structures exists to be designated a historic district. (Basically, at least 51 percent of the buildings must be 50 years or older and still reflect their historic appearance.)If a potential district exists, the AHPP will contact the city and provide a list of addresses for the buildings in the area that is eligible for district designation. The city or other local partners will generate the list of property owners.The AHPP will then work with the city to set a time and place for an informational meeting with property owners; the AHPP will mail letters to each of the property owners informing them of the meeting.At the meeting, AHPP representatives will explain the project, what is does and does not mean to be listed on the National Register, and how the 20 percent federal rehabilitation tax project works. Most questions and concerns about the project can be addressed at the meeting.After the meeting, the local partners will poll the property owners to determine whether or not at least 51 percent of them are interested in the historic district designation.After being notified that a majority of the owners are interested, the AHPP will contract an architectural resources survey of the district area, in which each building will be photographed and informational forms completed.At the completion of the survey, the AHPP will contract to have a National Register nomination completed for the district.When the nomination is completed, the AHPP will present it to its State Review Board, which meets the first Wednesday in April, August and December to make formal nominations to the National Register.Following the meeting, the nominations are sent to the Keeper of the National Register in Washington, D.C., who makes the final decision on whether a property is listed (The AHPP has a 99 percent success rate in this process).The decision on listing will be made within six weeks of delivery of the nomination to the Keeper.

Description: CLASS II COMMERCIAL DISPOSAL WELL OR CLASS II DISPOSAL WELL MORATORIUM Cleburne, Conway, Faulkner, and Van Buren Counties, Arkansas REQUEST FOR AN IMMEDIATE MORATORIUM ON ANY NEW OR ADDITIONAL CLASS II COMMERCIAL DISPOSAL WELL OR CLASS II DISPOSAL WELL PERMITS IN CERTAIN AREAS. After due notice and public hearing in El Dorado, Arkansas, on July 26, 2011, the Arkansas Oil and Gas Commission, in order to prevent waste, carry out an orderly program of development, protect the correlative rights of each owner in the common source(s) of supply, prevent the pollution of fresh water supplies and unnecessary damage to property, soil, animals, or aquatic life by oil, gas or salt water, and to protect the health and welfare of the public, has found the following facts and issued the following Order. STATEMENT OF CASE The Staff of the Arkansas Oil and Gas Commission (“Applicant”) filed an application requesting an immediate moratorium on any new or additional Class II Commercial Disposal Well or Class II Disposal Well permits in any of the Sections identified in Exhibit 1A or 1B of the Application, that is to remain in effect until the Commission adopts a General Rule establishing a permanent moratorium area FINDINGS OF FACT From the evidence introduced at said hearing, the Arkansas Oil and Gas Commission (hereinafter referred to as AOGC) finds: 1. That the Director filed an application requesting an immediate moratorium on any new or additional Class II Commercial Disposal Well or Class II Disposal Well permits in any of the Sections identified in Exhibit 1A or 1B of the application (“moratorium area”), that is to remain in effect until the Commission adopts a General Rule establishing a permanent area. 2. That seismic activity has been enhanced, induced, or triggered in other areas of the country in the past. 3. That seismic activity occurring within the moratorium area has revealed a previously unknown or unmapped fault system. 4. That the particular fault highlighted by the seismic activity may be capable of producing additional earthquakes of similar or greater magnitude as have already occurred. 5. That this fault system, highlighted by the recent activity associated with the Guy-Greenbrier Earthquake Swarm, indicates a general northeast-southwest (approximately N30ºE) trending fault system which displaces the Lower Ordovician through Precambrian strata. 6. That, at the time of the hearing, there were four Disposal wells within the moratorium area. However, the permit holder of both the SRE 8-12 1-17 Class II Disposal Well (Permit No. 43266) and the Trammel Class II Disposal well (Permit No. 41079), and the permit holder of the Wayne L. Edgmon No. 1 Class II Commercial Disposal well (Permit No. 36380), agreed to immediately and permanently cease all disposal operations in both disposal wells, and to properly plug the subject disposal wells by ORDER NO. 180A-2-2011-07 August 02, 2011 September 30, 2011. The remaining Class II Commercial Disposal Well, the Moore, W E Estate No. 1 Class II Commercial Disposal well (Permit No. 39487), is subject to the provisions of Order No. 180A-1-2011-07. 7. That no objects were filed in relation to Docket No. 180A-1-2011-07. CONCLUSIONS OF LAW 1. That due notice of public hearing was given as required by law and that this Commission has jurisdiction over said parties and the matter herein considered. 2. That this Commission has authority to grant or deny said application under the provisions of Act No. 105 of 1939, as amended. ORDER It is, therefore, ordered by the Commission: that an immediate moratorium is in effect for any new or additional Class II Commercial Disposal Well or Class II Disposal Wells within the moratorium area described in the application, more specifically, as described or depicted in Exhibits 1A and 1B of Docket No. 180A-2011-07, that shall remain in effect until the Commission adopts a General Rule establishing a permanent moratorium area. This Order shall be effective from and after August 02, 2011; and the Commission shall have continuing jurisdiction for the purposes of enforcement, and/or modifications or amendments to the provisions of this Order.

Description: Ozark - St. Francis National Forests stand inventory data for vegetation, maintained in polygon format. Polygon boundaries that provide areas to be rotated for entry of timber inventory and management. Stand is defined as a spatially continuous group of trees and associated vegetation having similar structures and growing under similar soil and climatic conditions.Vegetation polygons support Forest Service vegetation data management and analysis. Vegetation data is critical in support of land management; whether it be for wildlife habitat analysis, fire and fuels management, watershed management, or timber production. A vegetation polygon is a logical sampling unit; a logical area of land on which to describe vegetation conditions. Over time, data is collected for some or all of these polygons. Data such as canopy cover or forest type may be derived for each polygon via satellite image processing or photo interpretation. Field crews may be sent to a selection of polygons to collect detailed data where individual trees are measured or down woody material is measured along transects. The amount and currency of data describing each vegetation polygon varies widely since it is cost-prohibitive to maintain detailed and current data for all polygons at any point in time. Data for some polygons may be more than 10 years old, while data for other polygons may have been collected yesterday. Typically where active project work or landscape analysis is occurring, better data is available since there is a need for good data for that area at that point in time. Data for polygons within the NRIS_VegPoly feature class is changing on a daily basis as data is updated by Forest Service staff. This feature class is a "working" dataset; that is, it supports day-to-day Forest Service land management.

Congress has designated five wilderness areas on the Ozark - St. Francis NF, no wilderness areas exist on the St. Francis NF. These include: the East Fork, Hurricane Creek, Leatherwood, Richland Creek, and Upper Buffalo Wilderness Areas. These areas encompass approximately 66,728 acreas of the Ozark NF. This MA is unsuitable for timber production. Mineral extraction or prescribed fires are not allowed. The emphisis is to allow ecological and biological processes to progress naturally with the little to no human influence or intervention, except for the minimum impacts made by those who seek the wilderness experience solitude and risk in as primitive surroundings possible. Management focuses on protecting and preserving the natural environment from human influences.
Description: 911 Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP) service area boundaries in Arkansas According to the National Emergency Number Association (NENA), a Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP) is a facility equipped and staffed to receive 9-1-1 calls. The service area is the geographic area within which a 911 call placed using a landline is answered at the associated PSAP. This dataset only includes primary PSAPs. Secondary PSAPs, backup PSAPs, and wireless PSAPs have been excluded from this dataset. Primary PSAPs receive calls directly, whereas secondary PSAPs receive calls that have been transferred by a primary PSAP. Backup PSAPs provide service in cases where another PSAP is inoperable. Most military bases have their own emergency telephone systems. To connect to such system from within a military base it may be necessary to dial a number other than 9 1 1. Due to the sensitive nature of military installations, TGS did not actively research these systems. If civilian authorities in surrounding areas volunteered information about these systems or if adding a military PSAP was necessary to fill a hole in civilian provided data, TGS included it in this dataset. Otherwise military installations are depicted as being covered by one or more adjoining civilian emergency telephone systems. In some cases areas are covered by more than one PSAP boundary. In these cases, any of the applicable PSAPs may take a 911 call. Where a specific call is routed may depend on how busy the applicable PSAPS are (i.e. load balancing), operational status (i.e. redundancy), or time of date / day of week. If an area does not have 911 service, TGS included that area in the dataset along with the address and phone number of their dispatch center. These are areas where someone must dial a 7 or 10 digit number to get emergency services. These records can be identified by a "Y" in the [NON911EMNO] field. This indicates that dialing 911 inside one of these areas does not connect one with emergency services. This dataset was constructed by gathering information about PSAPs from state level officials. In some cases this was geospatial information, in others it was tabular. This information was supplemented with a list of PSAPs from the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). Each PSAP was researched to verify its tabular information. In cases where the source data was not geospatial, each PSAP was researched to determine its service area in terms of existing boundaries (e.g. city and county boundaries). In some cases existing boundaries had to be modified to reflect coverage areas (e.g. “entire county north of Country Road 30”). However, there may be cases where minor deviations from existing boundaries are not reflected in this dataset, such as the case where a particular PSAPs coverage area includes an entire county, and the homes and businesses along a road which is partly in another county. Text fields in this dataset have been set to all upper case to facilitate consistent database engine search results. All diacritics (e.g., the German umlaut or the Spanish tilde) have been replaced with their closest equivalent English character to facilitate use with database systems that may not support diacritics.
Description: The Arkansas Secretary of State contracted the University of Arkansas at Little Rock, GIS Applications Laboratory (UALRGIS) to use modern geographic information technology and improved base maps to create a current and spatially accurate statewide depiction of school district boundaries in the State of Arkansas. The Arkansas Geographic Information Office merged annexed and consolidated districts.UALRGIS followed a work plan for the project that was established by the Arkansas Geographic Information Office (AGIO) for the Secretary of State. The school district boundary editing rules were as follows:1. Legal descriptions take precedent.2. If no legal description was provided the visual evidence presented on the digital ortho quarter quadrangle (DOQQ) was followed.3. Section lines, county boundaries, city boundaries and / or roads have only be used as supporting visual evidence viewed on the DOQQ.In the case of consolidation or annexation, state code 6-13-1415 and 6-13-1416 states:(1) A consolidation or annexation order adopted by the state board shall be filed with the:(A) County Clerk of each county that contains school district territory of each affected district, receiving district, or resulting district;(B) Secretary of State; and(C) Arkansas Geographic Information Office.(2) A consolidation or annexation order shall include a map of the boundaries of the resulting district or receiving district.(3) A consolidation or annexation order file with the Secretary of State and the Arkansas Geographic Information Office shall include a digital map showing the boundaries of the resulting district or receiving district in a format prescribed by the Arkansas Geographic Information Office.

Description: The municipal boundary change is a publication consisting of multiple individual polygons each representing a unique boundary description. The Arkansas GIS Office maintains this file in coordination with the municipalities of the State. It represents boundary changes across time for any cities beginning in 2016. 2016 is the year beginning in which the Arkansas Legislature mandated the Arkansas GIS Office to coordinate with any entity on municipal boundary changes and report these changes to the US Census Bureau. These change polygons can represent annexation, consolidation, detachment, incorporation and unincorporation of territory representing area per description. These change polygons can also represent geometry corrections where both minor and substantial corrections were needed. Where substantial corrections are needed, the feature will contain a link to pertinent documentation supporting the geometry correction. Various methods to annex, detach, create a new incorporation or unincorporate an existing incorporation may be used. Data developed with coordinate geometry (COGO) from legal descriptions were used. When necessary the data were adjusted to conform to known physical features. This dataset does not represent exact legal boundaries as per surveyed description, but, rather a set of boundaries used for the administrative purposes that conforms to logical & administrative rules.
