**I. WORK TO BE DONE** (describe or attach exact specifications of work
to be done):

+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
| **A. General Description**:                                           |
|                                                                       |
| Continue to monitor non-native invasive species treatment             |
| effectiveness and native plantings recovery within the burned area to |
| determine if management objectives are being met and to identify any  |
| future planting or noxious weed control needs. Plants to be monitored |
| include saltcedar, Russian knapweed, Bassia, Mustard, Malta           |
| Starthistle, Hoary cress and other invasives found and all native     |
| planting treatments.                                                  |
|                                                                       |
| Continue monitoring for new occurrences of undesirable plant species  |
| (noxious and exotic), within the burned area. Monitoring will occur   |
| in un-infested areas having a high potential for weed invasion.       |
| Continue monitoring for success of noxious weed treatments.           |
|                                                                       |
| Continue monitoring for establishment of planted native grasses and   |
| other plant materials the first year following treatment to determine |
| if revegetation efforts are meeting management goals.                 |
|                                                                       |
| **B. Location/(Suitable) Sites:**                                     |
|                                                                       |
| Monitoring for noxious weeds will occur in areas with potential for   |
| weed invasion and in areas that are treated for noxious weeds (see    |
| Noxious Weed Map).                                                    |
|                                                                       |
| Monitoring for planting success will occur in treated areas to        |
| determine success in competing with noxious weeds and reclaiming bare |
| ground.                                                               |
|                                                                       |
| **C. Design/Construction Specifications:**                            |
|                                                                       |
| 1.  Establish permanent transects for each treatment which will be    |
|     established prior to treatment. The monitoring protocol has been  |
|     developed by USGS, using a modified version of NPS-FMA protocol.  |
|     The monitoring will evaluate one or more of the following: cover, |
|     height, density, frequency, and visual obstruction for individual |
|     plant species or groups of species. Line intercept can be used to |
|     measure shrub canopy cover and quadrat-sampling methods can be    |
|     used to measure frequency. Collect data to describe the           |
|     vegetation recovery from the fire. Compare reestablishment within |
|     burn area to a control area outside of burn.                      |
|                                                                       |
| 2.  Prepare annual reports and a final report analyzing the data for  |
|     burned and unburned sites to determine cover and frequency of     |
|     natives.                                                          |
|                                                                       |
| 3.  Continue short-term monitoring on known noxious weed occurrences  |
|     and in areas of potential spread within burned area to determine  |
|     spread of noxious and invasive plant species. The monitoring      |
|     protocol has been developed by USGS, using a modified version of  |
|     NPS-FMA protocol.                                                 |
|                                                                       |
| 4.  Locate, map, and document (using photography, topographic maps,   |
|     and Global Positioning System\--GPS---technology), new weed       |
|     occurrences within burned area.                                   |
|                                                                       |
| 5.  Continue with Agency approved control measures on new weed        |
|     occurrences where monitoring demonstrates the establishment or    |
|     expansion of known weed populations.                              |
|                                                                       |
| 6.  For native planting areas, monitoring transects shall continue to |
|     be read to determine survival rates of planted species including  |
|     healthy, sick, dead or missing plants. This data may be used to   |
|     determine if additional Emergency Stabilization and/or            |
|     Rehabilitation actions will be continued.                         |
|                                                                       |
| **D.** **Purpose of Treatment Specifications:**                       |
|                                                                       |
| Noxious weed and undesirable plant monitoring is required to detect   |
| new noxious weed occurrences in the burned area and to monitor known  |
| weed densities and determine the effectiveness of treatments.         |
| Monitoring of native grass planting success and effectiveness is      |
| required to ascertain the degree of competition with undesirable      |
| plant species and determine if additional treatments are necessary to |
| control non-native invasive species and protect ecosystem             |
| biodiversity.                                                         |
|                                                                       |
| **E. Treatment Effectiveness Monitoring:**                            |
|                                                                       |
| As described in this specification. Report on treatment effectiveness |
| will be produced annually.                                            |
