How a level is made
A level comes from the government’s own record of the action: Critical when a final decision opens the ground or water to mining, drilling, logging, fishing, building or sale; Developing when the action is proposed or in review, or final but only changes a protection; Watch for an early step. Click a level to read the record. A place with no such record on file is not rated, and that’s a gap, not a clean bill of health. Acreage is the size of the area named, not the acreage at risk.
