System #1 Program land management actions (i.e.,
restoration into habitat complexes) will have a
detectable effect on target birds species use of the
associated habitats (current S3)

Achieving habitat features on Program lands with characteristic
approximating the guidelines in Table of the Land Plan (Habitat Complexes)
and the Mgt. Joint Study will be an efficient and biologically effective ,long-
term land conservation and management strategy on the Platte River for the
target bird species. Overall habitat complex approach
Distribution - 3 complexes distributed throughout study reach
Location - 6,400 ac above Minden; 2,800 ac below Minden
Channel - 2 miles long; 1,150 ft channels (overall 30% increase in channels
>750 ft); maintained by clear/level/pulse approach
Wet Meadows - 640 ac per complex (10% increase)
Buffers - Up to 0.5 miles wide but may be variable
Restoration - At least 50% of land would undergo restoration
