Step 3: Explore site characteristics
Toggle the options in the Site History tab to view treatment and wildfire history. Historical climate is viewable as the 30 year (1980 - 2010) averages displayed as a climatogram.
Preview endangered species, migratory birds, facilities, and wetlands information for your area through the IPaC tab.
View overlays the numerous layers available on the Planning Map.
Go back to Step 2 to adjust your planned treatment boundary, if necessary.

Step 5: Select search parameters
How do you want to search for treatments?
To search for matching LTDL treatments spatially, first select a buffer distance, political boundary, or ecological boundary from the list below. Political and ecological boundaries are automatically determined by the location of your proposed treatment. If two or more boundaries overlap your treatment, all overlapping boundaries will be utilized in the treatment search. Next, you have the option of running a similarity calculation that statistically compares and ranks the similarity of your proposed treatment to those in the LTDL based upon climate, heat load, or landform. Similarity calculations will take several minutes to run as the process is done on the fly, so please be patient. However, running all three calculations at once will not increase processing time because they are run independently and in parallel. Once you have selected a buffer or boundary and select the optional similarity calculations you wish to run, the 'Query the LTDL' button will appear at the bottom of Step 4. Click this button to start the query and proceed to Step 5. The query status will be updated as text messages in the 'Query status' section at the bottom on Step 4.

Step 6: Compare to LTDL treatments
Select the layers that you'd like to see on the map. Once a layer is selected (checked), a '+' will appear on the right side. After clicking this, you will see the legend and a tab to change the opacity of the layer. If a layer is currently grayed out, you are outside the visibility scale. Zoom in and the layer will become active.
