Provide Regional context to facilitate prioritization of management action based on conditions at the HUC 12 scale. Evaluate relationships between landscape and habitat condition indicators Evaluate relationships between operational and condition indicators Assess Seasonal and Regional Trends in key indicators For municipal wells or local well subsets, determine % of wells in condition categories; at basin, HUC-12, HUC-8 and Regional scales. All of the same analyses as for WQ Aquatic Life Maps of Cadmus outputs with WQ indicators by site Maps of pesticide usage per watershed with WQ indicators by site Diagrams of key processes Maps of condition with pie symbols for sites and multi indicators Maps of trend by waterbody or site Histograms of key Indicators Regression graphs of condition versus operational measures Maps of pesticide usage per watershed and changes in use over time Maps of impervious surface area per watershed and changes in imperviousness over time Table data for indicators at levels of concern Maps of condition colored by reach These 5 indices address the single general objective and its composite aquatic life beneficial use.

Goal 1: Healthy Aquatic Habitat: By 2025, 80% of aquatic habitat is healthy, and the remaining 20% exhibits positive trends in key measures of aquatic health. Percent Healthy (to status) Percent Improving (to trends) Goal 2: Proper Land Management: By 2025, 80% of lands within any watershed is managed to maintain healthy watershed functions, and the remaining 20% will exhibit positive trends in key management indicators. Goal 3: Healthy Water for Human Uses: By 2025, 80% of surface and ground water is clean for drinking and swimming, and fish and shellfish are safe to eat. The remaining 20% will exhibit positive trends in key measures of human health. Home Trends Summary and Findings Technical Approach You can’t see it here, but there is a text box below this map for adding details. Goals are clickable. The crown menu is something we need to figure out (where I have put placeholders – trends, summary and findings, technical approach, etc.) Dave will adjust colors to blue, dk green, lt green, yellow, lt red, dk red
