######### PURPOSE AND SCOPE  {#purpose-and-scope .head1}

**Number range CHAPTERWhat are the proposal objectives, affected
habitats, and affected wildlife (especially wetland-associated migratory
birds) and wetland functions**?

**How does the proposed work form a long-term wetlands and migratory
bird conservation proposal that should be funded under the North
American Wetlands Conservation Act (NAWCA)?**

**What are the linkages between the proposal and conservation objectives
of the following programs/plans and other international migratory bird
and wetlands conservation programs/plans: North American Waterfowl
Management Plan, Partners in Flight, U.S. Shorebird Conservation Plan,
and North American Waterbird Conservation Plan? How do proposal
activities address specific habitat priorities stated in these
conservation plans? If there are no direct linkages to conservation
plans, how and why was the proposal was developed**?

**If the proposal is part of a larger multi-phase or landscape level
project, how does it fit into the larger effort**?

**How is the proposal unique from, or complementary to, previously
funded proposals**?

**How did you determine the proposal boundaries**?

**What are the threats and special circumstances that make NAWCA funding
important at this time? Will any partner match be lost if the proposal
is not funded**?

**What are the current public and private uses of lands in the proposal
area and are you proposing any changes**?

**Will you allow public access? Will you limit the number of people
permitted access or the season of access**?

**Has the public been informed about the proposal? Have landowners been
contacted? If applicable, what is the willingness of landowners to sell
properties**?

**TECHNICAL ASSESSMENT QUESTION 2**

**How does the proposal contribute to the conservation of other
wetland-associated migratory birds?**

**A. PRIORITY BIRD SPECIES**

Using habitat and population objectives from the bird conservation plans
and the species in the Bird Conservation Regions, [identify up to ten
priority bird species]{.underline} that best demonstrate the benefits of
the project activities to non-waterfowl species. The selected species
may be identified as a priority by any of the national or joint venture
plans listed below.

Using a table format (see TAQ \# 2 example), succinctly describe the
impact of the grant and match work in the proposal on each selected
species. DO NOT include benefits from non-match work, and address only
non-waterfowl species.

-   **Which species or population will benefit and in which plan(s) is
    it a priority?**

-   **How many individuals/pairs are expected to use the proposal area
    and, if the proposal area is being restored or enhanced, what is the
    expected increase in population numbers over the current
    situation?**

-   **How will the proposal activities positively affect the species and
    improve habitat quality?**

-   **What is the importance of each tract (or logical grouping of
    tracts) shown in the proposal to the species or population, and for
    what life cycle stage? (If tracts are not yet identified, explain
    what procedure will be used to ensure that the high quality habitat
    is targeted.)**

**B. OTHER WETLAND-ASSOCIATED BIRD SPECIES**

[Identify up to ten non-priority wetland-associated bird
species]{.underline} that help demonstrate the benefits of the project
activities to non-waterfowl species.

Using a table format (see TAQ \# 2 example), succinctly describe the
impact of the grant and match work in the proposal on each selected
species. DO NOT include benefits from non-match work, and address only
non-waterfowl species.

-   **Which species or population will benefit and in which plan(s) is
    it a priority?**

-   **How many individuals/pairs will use the proposal area and, if the
    proposal area is being restored or enhanced, what is the expected
    increase in population numbers over the current situation?**

-   **How will the proposal activities impact the species and improve
    habitat quality?**

-   **What is the importance of each tract (or logical grouping of
    tracts) shown in the proposal to the species, and for what life
    cycle stage? (If tracts are not yet identified, explain what
    procedure will be used to ensure that the high quality habitat is
    targeted.)**

######### How does the proposal location relate to the geographic priority wetlands described by the North American Waterfowl Management Plan, Partners In Flight, the U.S. Shorebird Conservation Plan, and/or the North American Waterbird Conservation Plan? {#how-does-the-proposal-location-relate-to-the-geographic-priority-wetlands-described-by-the-north-american-waterfowl-management-plan-partners-in-flight-the-u.s.-shorebird-conservation-plan-andor-the-north-american-waterbird-conservation-plan .head1}

#########  {#section-1 .head1}

#########  {#section-2 .head1}

**A. NATIONAL PRIORITY WETLAND AREAS.** Briefly describe how the
proposed grant and match activities will address the national and/or
continental geographic priorities for wetland habitat conservation as
outlined in the four major migratory bird conservation plans (Partners
In Flight (songbirds), U.S. Shorebird Conservation Plan, North American
Waterbird Conservation Plan and the North American Waterfowl Management
Plan). Separate geographic priority maps for these bird groups are
located at:

<http://www.fws.gov/birdhabitat/Grants/NAWCA/Standard/US/Maps.shtm>.

Exact project location will be based on the proposal coordinates you
provide on the Project Officer's page.

**Do NOT include benefits from non-match work**.

**B. REGIONAL IMPORTANT WETLAND AREAS.** Briefly describe how the
proposed grant and match activities will address the current regional
geographic priorities based on Joint Venture science and planning
information. To access this information or contact plan coordinators,

### TECHNICAL ASSESSMENT QUESTION 4 

###  How does the proposal relate to the national status and trends of wetlands types?

**Importance of any Stable or Increasing types to wetland-associated
migratory birds**:

**Evidence to justify the status and importance of any wetland types
(including subsidiary types not listed below) to wetland-associated
migratory birds that have a different regional or local status than
shown below**:

**Types of uplands (e.g., cropland, grassland, forest) and describe the
relationship of the uplands to wetlands and migratory bird conservation
(i.e., reason for including in proposal**):

**Narrative needed to explain the table information**:

**Significance of the proposed work on each tract and the cumulative
work in the completed proposal to long-term wetlands conservation in
terms of 1) how work on each tract complements work on other tracts; 2)
threats to wetlands values (address acquisition of water rights, if
applicable); 3) conservation or management of larger wetland areas; and
4) objectives of wetlands conservation plans**:

**Justification for modifying existing wetlands from one type to
another**:

will last and when maintenance or additional work will be needed:**

**Reliability and success of proposed vegetation control techniques**:

**Summary of the long-term conservation and management plan for the
proposal area**:

**How easement restrictions and reserved rights serve to ensure
long-term wetland conservation and health**:

is targeted**):

**Additional information**:

**B. State-listed endangered or threatened species (not included
above**):
