treatment) than to collect it downstream (channel treatment). Cover exposed soil to stabilize hillslopes and prevent sediment movement to channels. Specific treatments include: · Aerial seeding of native herbaceous species · Protection of areas where vegetation was dominated by sprouting species such as stream management zones and quaking aspen stands. · On the ground plantings for the development of vegetation stmcture, composition, function and habitat corridors similar to the pre-fire condition. o Perform channel treatments, such as incorporating coarse woody material, to reduce flood and debris flow potential. o Install treatments as soon as possible, generally before the next damaging storm. . Restrict Access and Mitigate Road Impacts: treatment areas are, by definition, areas with high risk for impacting water supplies. Disturbances should be kept to an absolute minimum and any roads that are created should be designed/engineered, and mitigated, not just abandoned. . Monitor, Evaluate, and Demonstrate Long-Term Strategy: Restoration efforts should include a monitoring plan and evaluation report to assist with lessons learned and allow for adaptive management. The monitoring and evaluation plan should provide a clear indication that the efforts towards forest restoration fit into a long- term strategy. 1.2 Prioritizin2 Resource Allocation for Protectin2 Water Supply Systems Protection of water supply systems should be prioritized based on (1) vulnerability, how critical is the supply, (2) current level of impact, (3) current magnitude of impact, and (4) potential for future impact. The combination of these factors can help to prioritize allocation of resources among at-risk water supplies. . Vulnerability: Demonstrate that the project is necessary to reduce the potential for impact to a critical water supply. For example, GIS coverage of water-supply watershed boundaries. The figure shows an example of information available from the CWCB, but not a complete set of watersheds associated with each water utility.
