AIM-NAMF Project Evolution

Monitoring drivers and applications Multi-scale information needs – most starting with RMP effectiveness following IM 2016-139 Information Need Reporting Units Monitoring and Assessment Policy National inventory of public lands and resources National public lands FLPMA (201a); PRIA (1901b1 and 1903a) Resource Management Plan effectiveness RMP Area (often Field Office) or subsets (e.g., sage grouse habitat in FO) FLPMA; Land Use Planning Handbook; IM 2016-139; RMP’s + amendments Species of Management Concern (e.g., anadromous fishes) Watershed or groups of watersheds Biological opinions, RMP amendments, ESA Land Health Assessment Grazing Allotment, Watershed, Group of Allotments, Herd Management Areas 43 CFR 4180, Land Health Handbook, State Standards: Water Quality, Watershed Function, Species and Habitats, Ecological Processes Treatment Effectiveness (e.g., restoration or reclamation) Individual or groups of streams Depends on treatment type (e.g., 43 CFR 3809.420) Wouldn’t it be great if

Information resulting from RMP effectiveness Baseline conditions Priority stressors and/or area to target for restoration, adaptive management and/or additional monitoring Attainment of RMP objectives Trend Wouldn’t it be great if

What next: AIM-NAMF project evolution Step 1 - RMP effectiveness: current conditions & priority stressors Step 2 – Determination: ID land-uses or activities contributing to departures Step 3 – Develop & implement mngt. plans Step 4 – Effectiveness monitoring Wouldn’t it be great if

Priority stressors High spatial extent (observed at a lot of sampled sites) Stressor is negatively impacting beneficial use (e.g., aquatic life support) Wouldn’t it be great if

Sources of priority stressors Applications of REA type information to inform interpretation Wouldn’t it be great if Salinity: 65% of spatial variability explained by % ag, density of oil & gas wells, % hydrologic alteration

Sources of priority stressors Relate observed conditions to direct measures of use and/or season of use indicators Nutrients as a function of AUMS Fine sediment as a function of bank alteration Wouldn’t it be great if

What next: AIM-NAMF project evolution Step 1 - RMP effectiveness: current conditions & priority stressors Step 2 – Determination: ID land-uses or activities contributing to departures Step 3 – Develop & implement mngt. plans Step 4 – Effectiveness monitoring Wouldn’t it be great if

Stepping AIM monitoring down from RMP Examples: Assessing impacts of permitted uses Determining habitat viability for species of management concern Environmental assessments: Current conditions Restoration or reclamation efficacy Wouldn’t it be great if
