An errata to the 1997 Revision of the Land and Resource Management Plan (Forest Plan) was issued in July 1999 by the Arapaho and Roosevelt National Forests and Pawnee National Grassland. Since that time two additional standards in the Watershed Conservation Practices Handbook have been revised. To be consistent with the wording in the WCP the two standards, #12 and #19, in the Forest Plan are adjusted as follows: 12.(ST) Maintain enough water in perennial stream reaches to sustain existing stream health. Return some water to dewatered perennial streams where needed and feasible. Should Read: 12. (ST) Return and/or maintain sufficient stream flows under appropriate authorities to minimize damage to scenic and aesthetic values, fish and wildlife habitat, and to otherwise protect the environment. 19.(81') Manage land treatments to limit the sum ofseverelybumed and detrimentally compacted, puddled, and displaced land to no more than 15 percent of any land unit (FSH2S09.18). Ifa soil is compressed more than 15 percent or if the soil pore space is decreased more than 15 percent as compared to a soil of similar texture then the soil is detrimentally compacted. Should Read: 19. (81') Manage land treatments to limit the sum of severely burned and detrimentally compacted, eroded, and displaced land to no more than 15 percent of any land unit. Included in Ihis erratunl are replacement pages for the 1997 Revision of the Land and Resource Management Plan. Remove the old pages 13-16 and replace them with the reworded pages 13-16.
