What are examples of projects (or programs) <br />that benefit multiple users that could serve as a <br />model for the state? <br />2. Can we develop geographic coverages of <br />environment and recreation attributes that <br />would help basins prioritize key river and <br />wetland resources? <br />3. How can Conserve, Protect, Restore priorities <br />be implemented and integrated into a <br />prioritization process and how might that <br />process interface with the ISF program? <br />Efforts to address the three questions are discussed <br />in the following subsections, respectively: <br />4.3.2 Geographic Coverages <br />To address the second question, the technical <br />subcommittee decided that mapping the <br />distribution of select environment and recreation <br />"attributes" was a key tool to begin identifying <br />priority areas. Table 4-1 lists the GIS coverages for <br />the attributes developed by the technical <br />subcommittee. These coverages are shown as <br />Figures 4-3 through 4-28 at the end of this section. A <br />description of the types of coverages and the method <br />for generating them can be found in the following <br />subsections. Each of these coverages was chosen for <br />its potential to allow decisionmakers to determine <br />areas of priority. <br />~ Section 4.6 Overview of Select En~~ironmental <br />and Recreational Projects describes examples <br />of select case studies and options to address <br />environment and recreation projects brought up <br />by all three subcommittees. <br />~ Section 4.3.2 Geographic Coverages describes <br />the geographic coverages that could be used to <br />help prioritize environment and recreation areas. <br />~ Section 43.3 Prioritization Process describes <br />the identification, prioritization, and <br />quantification process for environment and <br />recreation needs. <br />FINAL DRAFT 4-5 <br />
