Unlocated Ers Temporary - Closed For Publication -set 4- Final

Given that these ERs are officially unlocated but only temporarily closed, liability falls into a transitional grey zone:

For owners, managers, or historical custodians of an ER appearing on the SET 4 final list, the following rectification pathway is available:

  • Wait for Validation Hearing: The ER Validation Committee meets biweekly. Upon submission, your case will be assigned a tracking number.
  • Reactivation or Archival: If evidence is accepted, the ER will be moved from Temporary Closed to Active – Probationary. If no evidence is provided within 180 days, the ER will be permanently decommissioned and struck from all records.

    • The temporary closure of unlocated ERs in SET 4 will have the following operational implications: Unlocated ERs Temporary Closed for publication -SET 4- final

    In multi-phase data analysis, datasets are often divided into sets (SET 1, SET 2, SET 3, SET 4), each representing a successive cut or a specific analytical grouping. SET 4 is commonly the final pre-publication dataset, containing:

    5.1 Data Integrity The temporary closure of Unlocated ERs ensures that the final publication contains only verified, mappable data. This prevents "ghost" entries or map clutter caused by entities without spatial context. It upholds the organization’s commitment to accuracy over volume. Given that these ERs are officially unlocated but

    5.2 Publication Metrics It is projected that Set 4 contains approximately 150–200 Unlocated ERs. Consequently, the total entity count in the final publication will be lower than the raw intake numbers. This reduction is a feature, not a bug, representing a "cleaned" dataset.

    5.3 Legacy Data Preservation A key benefit of "Temporary Closure" (as opposed to deletion) is the preservation of legacy data. Since many Unlocated ERs originate from historical records or incomplete surveys, deleting them would result in a loss of potential information. By retaining them in a "Closed" state, they remain available for future geolocation efforts (e.g., field surveys or improved address interpolation algorithms).

    A: No. This is the final publication in this series. Any subsequent discoveries of previously unknown ERs will be processed through the New Asset Intake Form (NAIF-1), not as part of a numbered closure set.

    Deleting unlocated ERs would compromise data integrity and audit trails. Temporary closure allows:
