Support for Resource Management Codes Revision

Summary

Resource Management Codes (RMC) inform users of state-owned submerged lands about ecological features associated with lease tracts which may affect a lessee’s ability to engage in certain activities on those tracts. The Texas General Land Office (GLO) with support from Harte Research Institute, other state and federal agencies, Atkins North America, and Freese and Nichols, Inc., thoroughly analyzed RMCs, their definitions, relevant data availability, and created new, improved ways of updating the codes. The Resource Management Code Viewer, now online, was created, providing users a much more effective method of accessing codes and associated information.
