Monitoring Area Description. The monitoring areas associated with this Agreement occur within a larger Area of Interest that includes the Upper Great Salt Lake Desert Flow System (GSLDFS). Within this Area of Interest, two specific areas have been delineated in which biological, hydrologic, and air-quality monitoring will be conducted. These areas are named “Tier I” and “Tier II” Monitoring Areas, respectively, and are depicted on Figure 1. Within the Tier I and Tier II Monitoring Areas are Key Areas of Biological Concern (KABCs), also depicted on Figure 1. These KABCs were identified to focus the monitoring approach, and were based on the presence of groundwater- influenced ecosystems inhabited by Species of Greatest Conservation Need identified in the Utah Comprehensive Wildlife Conservation Strategy (CWCS 2005) or contain phreatophytic vegetation susceptible to effects resulting from groundwater development.
