a. Lead Agency: This is the Project Team member or other agency that has the lead responsibility in completing the Action Item.
b. Other Partners: This is the list of other Project Team members or stream management planning participants that will have a key role in implementing the Action Item.
c. Existing Activities: This is a list of current or completed activities that address this Action Item.
d. Possible Activities to Address Action Items: This is a list of recommended activities to address the Action Item. In many instances, not all, or in some cases, none, of the activities can be completed during the two year planning period. These activities are identified for two purposes: (1) for inclusion in subsequent Action Plans and (2) To provide options for local stakeholders to pursue with the Stream Management Plan Fund or other funds.
e. Planned Activities/Outcome(s) for 2009 – 2011 Ashokan Action Plan: This is the list of possible activities and where applicable, related outcomes that are intended to be completed during the Action Plan period.
The actions were developed based on information culled during the stream management planning processes, as well as meetings with the Watershed Advisory Council, each of the working groups, and discussions with key informants.
This list of recommendations and action items will evolve during the five years of this program as additional stream assessments are completed, as the program staff gain information from research and evaluations of the program and feedback from stakeholders, and as new needs or opportunities arise in the communities. It is not meant to be a static document, but reflects the best information that we have at this time.
