<br />4. Additional Evaluations <br /> <br />~ <br />~ <br />00 <br />(,0.) <br /> <br />The Colorado SCS Wetland Evaluation Procedures is being used <br />to track changes in wetland quality due to project <br />implementation. This evaluation generates a numerical value <br />from zero to one (zero being low in value, one being highest <br />in value) which represents the relational integration of <br />.functional . and habitat characteristics of a. particular. <br />wetland. At the present time this system is under revision, <br />so no wetland values will be presented in this report. <br />However, projected wetland acreage lost, altered or gained <br />(table 2, Appendix B) and the applied losses for the <br />monitoring contracts (table 2, Appendix C) are included in <br />the Appendix. <br /> <br />{>:::I <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />5. Tracking <br /> <br />A tracking system data base has been developed to record <br />cover types, wetland types and values, HSI's,HUV's and <br />contracted wildlife replacement practices by contract. A <br />summary table (for 1990-1992) and narrative for each <br />category can be found in Appendix Band C. <br /> <br />6. Field Data <br /> <br />Between 1990 and 1993, i40 CRSC contracts were cover type <br />mapped, habitat data was collected and HSI evaluations made <br />(1990-9 contracts, 1991-29 contracts, 1992-52 contracts,' <br />1993-50 contracts). To date this has been expected on all <br />contracts for existing, planned and applied conditions. A <br />comparison may then be made (once the contract has expired <br />and all. salinity control practices have been implemented) to <br />show any habitat changes. .Tables 1-5, Appendix B, reflect a <br />comparison of baseline information with anticipated planned <br />conditions. <br /> <br />..:.;:.,~.:., <br />,r.:~~., <br /> <br />Due to the increasing workload (contract numbers have <br />increased over the years) and loss of manpower it has been <br />decided by the state office that (statistically) cover <br />typing and evaluating two-thirds of the current years <br />contracts will accurately represent all contracts. The <br />results of the sampling will be extrapolated out to show <br />what a 100% sample would show. Since impacts to habitat <br />types are either too small to measure or only short term in <br />affect.it has been decided to not cover type and evaluate <br />group pipelines. However, wetland habitat will still be <br />evaluated for each contract to monitor wetland impacts.. <br /> <br />12 <br />
