Subbasin 10250002 status has been updated to reflect Revision In-Work.

Note: If you are to be checking in a partial subbasin, you must notify your Regional POC and geodatabase load contact in either Denver or Rolla.

The first step would be to check out the sub basin that you intend to work on. After completing your edits, you may check in a portion of the subbasin by informing us that this is “part 1 of 4” and to submit the update into the load queue as “miscellaneous”. A miscellaneous load will not auto status the entire sub basin back to available. Parts “2 of 4” and “3 of 4” will also need to be submitted as miscellaneous and part “4 of 4” will be submitted as “revision”. The revision submittal will auto status the entire sub basin back to available. It is critical that this information be communicated with your regional POC and geodatabase load contact.
