o N 00 .~ " 12 of the watershed area showing general location for the report and (9) other calculations or mapping as needed. The fourth week involves report writing in which the data and calculations are formalized into a coherent format and narratives are prepared describing the following:. (1) background of the evaluation, (2) characteristics of the geomorphic units, (3) rangeland characteristics, (4) hydrologic conditions, (5) sediment yield cOnditions, (6) salt delivery conditions, (7) impacts. of proposed land treatment practices are evaluated for the Present, FWOP, and FWP conditions within the target areas, (8) estimated salt control tonnage in the target areas, (9) estimated sed~merit control in the target areas, (10) summary of the salinityccst effectiveness for the watershed target areas and (11) other pertinent information. A draft report should be prepared for review by the following groups: 1) the specific field offices involved in the project, '(2) the agencies participating in the project and. (3) .the state' or regional centers of those agencies. Once the reviews has been accomplished and assimilated into the report, a final report document can be issued. ",: .' . The final report displays all the findings and contains all the pertinent backup data from the Phase II evaluation of the watershed. It is not necessary that planners and managers ~se the~ . proposed' land treatment practices listed in the report to achieve .the intended conservation results. If proposed land treatment. plans are different than those proposed in the report but achieve the same. sediment, hydrologic and salt control as the proj ec.t , then' the same rates can be used as in the report' or modified to refl:ect. new acreage figures.' This report should be useful for planners aha managers involved in the detailed planning process as well as thGl!;e involved'in the broader level of river basinareapranning.
