The following section should be completed after the BARC has been field validated by the BAER team and this entire metadata file should be returned to GTAC with the Soil Burn Severity data.

Fire name: MIDDLE FORK COMPLEX (Gales)

 
    BAER Assessment Completion Date: October 20, 2021
    BAER Team GIS Analyst: Janice Naylor
    BAER Team Leader: Fredrick Levitan
    Soil Burn Severity Analyst(s): Kelsey Martin
    
    Original BARC256 thresholds:
        Unburned / Undetectable: <= 61
        Low: > 61 and <= 101
        Moderate: > 101 and <= 193
        High: > 193
        
    Soil Burn Severity thresholds:
        Unburned / Undetectable: <= 56
        Low:  > 56 and <= 83
        Moderate: > 83 and <= 201
        High: > 201
        
    Sequence of steps used to create Soil Burn Severity data:  The BARC thresholds were changed to the above thresholds to create the SBS for Gales.
	 A single pass with a Majority filter was also applied to the raster to create the final product.  
	
 
    
    Additional Comments: 	
		Field verification completed 10/1/2021-10/4/2021. Commonly encountered areas initially classified as unburned that were found to have patchy to continuous low soil burn severity.

		The Gales Fire Boundary acres =  29,356.  

		Unburned SBS Acres = 6,683
		Low SBS Acres      = 15,538
		Moderate SBS 	   = 6319
		High SBS           = 604
