This shapefile, and all the other BLM geothermal lease shapefiles per year, were retrieved from BLM-Nevada website. There are some minor discrepancies between the BLM supplied shapefiles and BLM's online list of competitive sales published as pdf files, many of which have been resolved in this dataset.

- Process_Description:
-
1. Downloaded shapefiles from BLM's website.
2. Dissolved shapefiles so each lease has only one entry.
3. Brought them into ArcMap to see if they work.
4. Made a list of all geothermal companies that leased in NV from BLM including addresses and included this data as attributes.
5. Added a lot of attribute data from BLM's website and other sources, including bid prices, acres, customer names and addresses, years, MTRS (if it existed), etc.
6. Cleaned up each shapefile then joined them all into one shapefile and edited so all shapefiles per year essentially had the same attribute columns.
7. Double checked acreage by making my own area and checking it with theirs.
8. Brought into ArcMap the shapefile of geothermal areas and filled in the location attribute for all leases
9. Used BLM's LR2000 to find the status of as many leases as possible and compared them to the other data from the leases I retrieved from BLM.
10. Wrote metadata for this one big shapefile so that when it is split up per year, the metadata will be correct.
11. Split up the shapefile by year and made separate shapefiles for each year.
12. Had to redo some metadata.
13. Over the course of this project I made many calls to BLM to figure out why shapefiles and lease lists on their website do not agree, and other questions about the reliability of this data.
14. Some shapefiles did not fit properly so they were reprojected
