Narrative:
The management plan for this area was approved prior to July, 2008, and does not contain the
eight common management goals and associated quantitative measures that are now required to
be addressed by all management plans. Our progress, during the last two years toward achieving
the common goals and applicable core objectives are described in the narrative below and in
quantitative terms in the tables. Where applicable, this narrative lists outstanding
accomplishments, identifies any deficiencies and corrective actions, and provides other important
or clarifying information for each of the required management goals.
The Chinsegut Wildlife and Environmental Area contain and estimated 250 acres of invasive exotic
vegetation. During 2008-09 a vendor was contracted to chemically treat potentially the identified
250 acres containing exotic vegetation, the vendor was incompetent and failed to correctly treat
target species as well as having a very low kill rate. The reported 2.8 acres was the final product of
successfully treated vegetation.
