<br />002456 <br /> <br />4 <br /> <br />MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND INFORMATION NEEDS <br />Management objectives and information needs were developed to help guide design of <br />the Lake Powell monitoring and research programs for the GCMRC for the period FY2000 to <br />FY2004. In the September 1997 meeting of the Adaptive Management Work Group, the <br />AMWG requested the Technical Work Group (TWG) to proceed with evaluation and revision <br />of Management Objectives and Information Needs for the AMP, including those relating to <br />Lake Powell. The revision represents a concerted effort by the stakeholders to articulate their <br />objectives for desired resource conditions and the associated information needs related to <br />specific monitoring and science activities. These activities are necessary to determine the <br />condition of these resources, and how conditions are affected by management actions. <br />Because the AMWG had not formally approved a long-term monitoring and research <br />plan for Lake Powell, the objectives and information needs for Lake Powell have been <br />specified as separate and distinct from other AMP management objectives and information <br />needs developed for resources below Glen Canyon Dam. Management objectives and <br />information needs for Lake Powell (revised May 1, 1998), were agreed upon by the TWG <br />management objectives ad hoc group and presented to the TWG for review and use in <br />development of the long-term plan (Appendix A). <br /> <br />FIVE-YEAR MONITORING AND RESEARCH PROGRAM <br />The Lake Powell management objectives and information needs (Appendix A) can be <br />addressed with a monitoring and research program of $325,000 in fiscal year 2000, if the <br />additional programs noted above are funded from outside sources. The proposed GCMRC <br />out-year programs are plarmed for similar levels of budget support as FY2ooo, but actual <br />armual programs and budgets are dependent on GCMRC accomplishments and program <br />reviews by TWG and AMWG. <br />The following list of monitoring and research projects (Table 2) respond to all TWG- <br />proposed Lake Powell management objectives and information needs identified in Appendix A. <br /> <br />DRAFT - June 17, 1998 <br />
