MANAGEMENT AREA DIRECTION

The Management Area Prescrlptrons Included III this Sectron represent Management Area DIrectIon applicable to speclflc areas of land. These Management Area PrescrIptions In various combl- nations were used as the basis for developing the alternatlves analyzed in the accompanying Envrronmental Impact Statement.

A Management Area PrescrIptIon number was asslgned to each management area XI order to link the prescrlptlon to the land area. The location of management areas 1s illustrated on the Management Area Map Inserted lnslde the back cover of this document.

Portions of Buffalo Peaks, and Sangre de Crlsto Wilderness Study Areas and all of Spanish Peaks Wilderness Study Area have been ldentlfied as unsuitable for wilderness designation. The map shows these areas have several management areas which include development m their prescriptlons. These prescrlptlons ~11 not be implemented unless Congress designates these areas as nonwilderness. In the interim, these areas wll be managed to maintain the qualitws which make It possible for their lncluslon in the National Wilderness Preservation System.

The prescrlptlon for each management area consists of a prescription summary and a set of management requrrements. The prescrlptlon summary ldentifles the primary emphasis of the prescription. All prescrlptlons are multiple use prescriptions, but each has a primary emphasis.

Management requirements are presented in three columns: Management Actlvltles, General DIrectIon Statements, and Standards and GuIdelines.

Management Actlvitles are work processes that are conducted to produce, enhance, or maintain levels of outputs, or to achieve administrative and environmental quality obJectives. Management Actlvitles are identlfxd by a code number and title defined In the Management Information Handbook. In some cases, management activities were grouped under one actlvlty when it was not appropriate to develop separate requirements. Not all management actlvltles need management requirements. When there are no management requrrements llsted for an activity, the Forest Direction or direction In laws, regulations, Executive Orders or Forest Service directives adequately covers the actlwty.

General DIrectIon Statements specify the actions, measures, or treatments (management practices) to be done when xmplementlng the management actlvlty or the condltlon expected to exist after the general direction 1s Implemented.

Standards and Guldellnes are quantlficatlons of the acceptable limits wlthln which the general direction 1s implemented.

General Dlrecrlon and Goals:

Emphasis IS on the management of all of the component ecosystems of rlparlan area These components include the aquatic ecosyrtem, the rqar~an ecosystem (characferm33 by dstmct vegetatmn), and adjacent ecosystems that remam wlthzn approxlmarely 100 ft measured hor17.0nrally from bath ed.gs of all pereanral streams and from the shores of lakes and other still water bodies All of the components are managed together as a land Unit comprlzlng a* Lnregrated rlparlan area, and not as separate componenrs

The goals of management are to prowde healthy, self-perpetuatmg p1anr cmm”nltleS, meet water quality standards, provide kdntats for “lable popu1armns of vn1dhfe and f&2, and pravvie stable stream channels and still water-body shorelines me aquarlc ecosystem may CDntaln flsherles hablrat mprovemenr and channel srabllrzlng facllltles that harmonize with the “lsual sertlng and malnfal” or myrove wlldllfe or full tlalntat requrements me hIear narllre Of streamslde rlparlan areas permrs progr-lng of management aCtl”ltLeS v?hlCh axe not “lsually evident or are “lsually subordInate

MONITORING AND EVALUATION

CHAPTER IV

MONITORING AND EVALUATION

The purpose of monltorlng and evaluating Implementation of the Forest Plan is to determlne the progress toward achxving the goals, objectives, and management requrements of the Forest Plan.

Monitoring ~111 provide the informatlon necessary to determine if:

--management area dIrectIon is applied as directed;

--management requrements are being followed;

--the Forest is achieving the objectlves of the Plan;

--the application of management area prescr~ptzons are re- sponding to public xssues and management concerns;

--the effects of implementing the Plan are occurring as predxted;

--the costs of zmplementing the Plan are as predlcted;

--management practices on adJacent or intermingled non-National Forest lands are affecting Forest Plan goals and objectlves; and

--National Forest management is affecting land resources, and commnnitxs adjacent to or near the Forest.

An annual monitoring action program will be prepared as part of the total Pike and San Isabel National Forests annual program of work. Thus annual monltorlng program will include the details of the amount and locatzon of monitoring to be accompllshed based on the approved program of work and funds available for mon- 1tor1ng. Monrtoring responsibility, specific locations, in- tenslty of sampling, person days required, and costs ~111 be identified XI the annual monitoring program.

The results of the site-specific monitoring program will be evaluated and documented in the annual review. The signrficance of the results of the monitoring program ~111 be analyzed by the Forest Interdisciplznary Team and revlewed for actlon by the Management Team.

Based on the analysis, =*Y need for further action is recommended to the Forest Supervisor. The recommendations can include:

IV-1

--no action needed, monitoring lndlcates goals, obJectives, and management requirements are achieved;

--recommended actxons referred to the appropriate line officer for Improvement of appllcatlon of management area dIrectIon;

--modlflcatlon of management requrements as a Plan amendment;

--modlflcation of the allocatlon of a Management Area Pre- scrIption as a Plan amendment;

--revxion of the projected schedule of outputs; or

--revxion of the Plan.

The documented file of the Forest Supervisor's decisions resulting from monitoring and evaluation is maintained for future use in amending or revising the Forest Plan.

The Forest Plan's monitoring actlvltles appear In Table IV-l. As part of the annual monltorlng action program, actlvlties from Table IV-1 ~~11 be included as appropriate.
