BLM. and private lands. <br />-Some floodplain development. <br />-Of low biological importance for habitat restoration, <br />-Conclusion: low priority geographic area for floodplain restoration <br />and protection because of no known historical use of this area by <br />razorbacks, <br /> <br />VI, Study Methods/Approach and Description of Work <br /> <br />Following summarizes activities and approaches related to the five <br />Program objectives: <br /> <br />Objective 1. Identify and provide the information needed to successfully <br />implement the Floodplain Habitat Restoration Program, <br /> <br />The Habitat Restoration Program consists of a number of major <br />components (e,g,. contaminants, hydrology, biology. <br />geomorphology. engineering, land acquisition. NEPA compliance, <br />I&E. etc.), Before floodplain areas can be restored, several <br />kinds of information are required, First, landowner <br />willingness to cooperate needs to be established (i,e,. the <br />landowner is willing to allow data collection on the property, <br />and would be ultimately willing to allow the property to be <br />flooded). Then, the area is screened for contaminants, <br />Federal mandates require that contaminants surveys be conducted <br />on properties the government wishes to acquire: the federal <br />government cannot acquire an interest in a property that fails <br />the contaminants survey. unless the contaminants problems are <br /> <br />15 <br />
