Project Activity Database(PACDAT) Common (GIS) framework • Spatial Database: Boundaries (GIS Maps) depicting project areas, treatment areas and influence zones (to report performance measures) • Tabular Database: Database tables to track and report projects, treatments, funding, costs, activities and other information • Database Standards: Common attributes and codes will be maintained and enforced via database domains and control tables (pick lists) • Tools and procedures to assist reporting • Policies for Information requirements and reporting schedules
