Watersheds. During the PPG phase, concern was raised by a number of stakeholders that the project design (as delineated in the PIF) constituted more of a Ridge AND Reef approach than a Ridge TO Reef approach. In large part, this concern related to the possibility that the terrestrial sites selected by the project in the PIF were 1) not upstream of the coastal and marine sites and therefore not impacting those sites; or 2) upstream of the coastal and marine sites but not producing any significant negative impacts for those areas; or 3) both. For this reason, four priority watersheds have been selected where many of the R2R approaches in sustainable forest and agricultural management and monitoring / management of aquatic ecosystems will be piloted.
Watersheds. Improve status of bull trout and westslope cutthroat trout in a designated number of watersheds.
Watersheds. Conduct finer scale analysis of road or other watershed conditions to confirm restoration opportunities and assess additional constraints.
Watersheds. By 2010, work with local governments, community groups and watershed organizations to develop and implement locally supported watershed management plans in two-thirds of the Bay watershed covered by this Agreement. These plans would address the protection, conservation and restoration of stream corridors, riparian forest buffers and wetlands for the purposes of improving habitat and water quality, with collateral benefits for optimizing stream flow and water supply. Wetlands By 2010, achieve a net resource gain by restoring 25,000 acres of tidal and non-tidal wetlands. To do this, we commit to achieve and maintain an average restoration rate of 2,500 acres per year basin wide by 2005 and beyond. We will evaluate our success in 2005. Forests Conserve existing forests along all streams and shorelines.
Watersheds. The DEP is no longer using the "5-year watershed approach", and so is no longer focusing as described in (A), except for water quality evaluation. The DEP has developed a 3-year schedule to reduce/eliminate the backlog of expired permits. DEP will also prepare annual compliance assurance plans that will allocate inspection resources based on risk, and geographic or technical objectives. MEASURES OF SUCCESS ➢ Complete inspections, any water quality evaluations, enforcement, and licensing actions as appropriate. C-7-05-e-2. Seven Salmon Rivers DEP, and depending on resources, EPA, will focus compliance inspections on facilities that discharge to the Narraguagus, Pleasant, Machias, East Machias, Sheepscot, Ducktrap, and Xxxxxx Xxxxxx. MEASURES OF SUCCESS ➢ Complete compliance inspections of facilities in these watersheds. ➢ Provide EPA with a list of planned and completed inspections of facilities discharging into these rivers
Watersheds. The Community Forest’s management area contains six Community Watersheds. This includes: Arrow Creek, Xxxxxxxx Creek, Camp Run Creek, Xxxxx/Orde Creek, Xxxxxxx Creek and Bear Brook Creek. In addition, seven Domestic watersheds are contained within CVFC’s management area.
