Density Disturbance Calculation Tool
The Density and Disturbance Calculation Tool (DDCT) is a spatially based application that calculates the number of disruptive activities averaged per square mile and the percentage surface disturbance within the DDCT assessment area. Proponents of surface-disturbing activities in sage-grouse core areas must submit their project footprints through this tool to complete their permitting process.
Exception requests for seasonal timing limitation stipulations may be submitted to wgfd.hpp@wyo.gov using this form.
If you have technical questions about using the DDCT application, please contact the GIS DDCT Support team at 307-757-0408 or via email at WGF-one-steppe-admin@wyo.gov
