<br />000871 <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />of the Work Group in the process of developing a Habitat <br />Management Plan for the central Platte River. <br /> <br />Fiscal Year 1991 Accomplishments <br />The following is a summary of the study accomplishments for FY <br />1991 (October, 1990 - September, 1991). <br /> <br />A. Drafting the Work Group Report <br />In late FY 90, the Biology Work Group (BWG) identified three <br />habitat management plans for consideration by the Work Group for <br />use in developing management alternatives. These plans, in order <br />of BWG preference, were: 1) Block/Segment plan, 2) Segment Plan, <br />and 3) Block Plan. These were described in the July, 1990, BWG <br />Report. The Work Group considered the BWG recommendation and <br />began developing habitat management alternatives for the <br />Block/Segment Plan. <br /> <br />Briefly, the Block/Segment Plan consists of a management area in <br /> <br /> <br />10 of the 12 bridge segments between Lexington and Chapman, <br /> <br /> <br />Nebraska, (Figure 3) four of which would be large management <br /> <br /> <br />areas (blocks) and six would be smaller management areas <br /> <br /> <br />(segments). The Work Group has identified existing and potential <br /> <br /> <br />areas where habitat is or could feasibly be managed to accomplish <br /> <br /> <br />the habitat quantity and quality objectives. Once management <br /> <br /> <br />alternatives are proposed, developed, and recommended as <br /> <br /> <br />components of the habitat management plan, these management areas <br /> <br /> <br />will be examined in greater detail to determine the applicability <br /> <br /> <br />of various land and water management methods. <br /> <br />3 <br />
