2. Develop a prioritized Action
Plan and Annual Work Program

All actions recommended by the Plan are
comprehensively listed below. These actions
are not yet listed in priority order but will need
to be generally prioritized as part of the work
plan preparation previously recommended.
The Plan is a dynamic document and priori-
ties are subject to change because of evolving
conditions in the watershed. By preparing
annual work programs, changing priorities
can be accommodated.

Priority should be given to those projects that:
1) are critical situations in need of attention
before a situation further degrades, or 2 ) are
immediate windows of opportunity that may
be lost, or 3) can be implemented for minimal
cost relative to the benefits achieved, or 4)
will respond or resolve several issues simul-
taneously by taking action.

The following items should be also addressed
in the selection of priorities and the annual
work programs:
. Consultation with appropriate
"Decision Makers"
· Estimates of Probable Cost and Time
· Funding Source(s)
· Identification of who will Coordinate
and Participate in the project and spe-
cific roles
