Of this $1.3 million, $214,000 to $241,000 is estimated for <br />Phase 2, development of wetlands, grasslands, and wet meadows on the south side of the <br />property. The remaining $1.059 to $1.086 million is estimated far Phases 1 and 3-6, <br />channel development and enhancement through vegetation clearing and other activities. <br />These activities will occur regardless of funding related to this proposal. These budget <br />estimates are based on the current Development and Enhancement plan and may change <br />during implementation. <br />Proposed Monitoring and Research Sudget Summary (On an annual basis with the <br />exception of the gage installation and equipment) <br />The following budget outlines proposed budgetary responsibilities for the Cooperative <br />Agreement/Program and the USGS. If funding should become unavailable in years two <br />or three for either the USGS or the Cooperative Agreement/Program, the remaining entity <br />would need to either wholly fund the remaining activities, reduce the scope, or stop the <br />work. For example, if the USGS lost funding after year l, the Cooperative <br />Agreement/Program would need to either fund an additional $56,800 for years two and <br />three to complete the data analysis or stop work. In the below budget, items included <br />under the USGS include analysis of empirical data. <br />Category Personnel CA/Program Cost USGS Cost <br />Management <br />• Vegetation Removal (95 acres) <br />Channel Restoration (7,000 feet)
