<br />001737 <br /> <br />2522.l2d <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />TITLE 2500 - WATERSHED MANAGEMENT <br /> <br />2522.12d - Funding Water Yield Enhancement projects. <br />Project proponents shall provide direct capital investments <br />needed to implement, monitor, and maintain water yield <br />enhancement projects. If proposed and implemented by the <br />Forest Service, it is appropriate to multifinance such <br />projects using wqtershed administration funds with funds <br />contributed by the benefiting functional areas, or funds <br />appropriated specifically for this purpose. <br /> <br />2522.13 - Soil productivity Enhancement. Undertake these <br />actlvlties to lmprove soil productivity on areas in satis- <br />factory watershed condition (FSH 2509.15, sec. 11.1), where <br />increased resource outputs and improved watershed condition <br />will result. Activities include using soil amendments and <br />fertilizers, introducing plant species that biologically <br />increase plant nutrients in the soil, and improving drain- <br />age to increase soil productivity. Although soil pro- <br />ductivity enhancement measures often improve watershed <br />condition, benefiting functional resource areas shall fund <br />implementation. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />2522.14 - Reclamation of Abandoned Mined Land. This <br />activity includes all work assoclated wlth the reclamation <br />of land and water resources adversely affected by past <br />mining. Activities funded through the regular watershed <br />improvement program and those funded by the Office of <br />Surface Mining (OSM) or States as authorized by Public Law <br />95-87, the Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act of <br />1977, are included. The act authorizes the Secretary of <br />Interior to transfer funds to other appropriate agencies <br />and to States with approved reclamation plans, in order to <br />carry out reclamation activities authorized under title IV <br />of the act. Operations under this act and pursuant regu- <br />lations, are administered by the Secretary of the Interior <br />or by State authorities when the State programs have been <br />approved by the Secretary. <br /> <br />Contact and work with States to include National Forest <br />System (NFS) abandoned mine reclamation opportunities in <br />State inventories and State reclamation plans. Upon <br />approval of the State plan, Office of Surface Mining (OSM) <br />funding for reclaiming abandoned mines on NFS lands may be <br />obtained from the States. Cooperate fully with States in <br />compiling inventories and assigning priorities to projects. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />*-FSM 3/86 AMEND 48-* <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />,. <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />e <br />
