AM 1 - <strong>Land</strong> <strong>Management</strong> <strong>Plan</strong> Monitoring and Evaluation<br />
Report the results of land and resource management plan monitoring and evaluation questions in<br />
the annual Monitoring and Evaluation Report, including the actions taken to respond to new<br />
information learned through the adaptive management cycle:<br />
• Amend the forest plan as necessary in response to monitoring and evaluation.<br />
• Implement adaptive management measures designed to redirect activity outcomes toward<br />
improved environmental protection.<br />
• Manage recreation opportunities to respond to changing visitor demographic profiles.<br />
Linked to <strong>National</strong> Strategic <strong>Plan</strong><br />
Goal 6 - Mission related work in addition to that which supports the agency goals,<br />
objective 5.<br />
AM 2 - <strong>Forest</strong>-wide Inventory<br />
Develop and maintain the capacity (processes and systems) to provide, store, and analyze the<br />
scientific and technical information needed to address agency priorities including:<br />
• Develop the capacity using existing federal (FGDC) databases and monitor the results to<br />
track and display the cumulative effects of forest plan implementation.<br />
• Survey suitable habitat for presence or absence of federally listed and Region 5 sensitive<br />
species. Update all maps and databases as information is obtained.<br />
• Identify and map all riparian areas as part of project analysis and enter into FGDC<br />
database.<br />
• Inventory geologic resources (i.e., fossils, caves, groundwater basins and extractions,<br />
geologic special interest areas, geologic features along scenic corridors, etc.) that are<br />
accessible to the public, affecting other resource areas, or needing special management or<br />
protection.<br />
• Identify geologic hazards (i.e., seismic activity, landslides, land subsidence, flooding and<br />
erosion) through landscape and watershed planning, sediment placement site planning,<br />
engineering design, reclamation and maintenance as part of landscape or project<br />
assessment.<br />
• Inventory water extractions and diversions<br />
• Develop an improved understanding of the relationships of geologic resources and<br />
hazards to ecologic functions and patterns as they apply to the management of national<br />
forest lands and the effects of fire.<br />
• Conduct integrated inventories of ecologic functions (ecological unit inventory) at the<br />
scale appropriate to the need.<br />
• Complete invasive nonnative plant and animal inventories for inclusion into Natural<br />
Resource Information System (NRIS) database.<br />
