## Prasad, Here is an additional on the NW forest plan monitoring. You may already have this by reference, but I wanted to

make sure as Bob's notes add some context. Thanks, McKinley-Ben

Hi Ben--

In looking at the EPA's questions for today's meeting to resolve permitting requirements for logging roads, here is some info you may find useful.

Stephanie Miller runs the Aquatic and Riparian Effectiveness Monito ring Program (AREMP) based out of Corvallis. AREMP is a BLM-Forest Service prog ram operating under Service First authority and was established to conduct aquatic and riparian monitori ng committed to under the Northwest Forest Plan.Her attachments include a 20-year trend report and a draft manuscript (from la st December) assessing impacts to Pacific Northwest streams, including sediment from l ogging road runoff. I would check with her before distributing this draft.2 Although AREMP only provides for monitoring in the P acific Northwest, it shoul d cover a lot of BLM's remaining commercial logging areas.

Other broad-scale monitoring efforts include BLM's co llaboration with the EPA on their National Streams and Rivers Assessment Program. We refer to this as the Western Rivers and Streams Assessment (WRSA). With support from the AIM Strategy, hundreds of sream sites have been added to EPA's existing statistical design to enhance the statistical certainty of their NRSA Program products and make results more useful for BLM management decisions. This is a five-year cyclical pr ogram, which we joined in 2013. WRSA will be used to help evaluate RMP effectiveness. More info rmation can be accessed at the NAMC website ( http://www.usu.edu/buglab/Projec ts/CurrentProjects/#item=115 )

You may also want to mention BLM collaboration with Forest Service on use of the FIA for managing forest

lands.

FYI. The manuscript has been submitted and we just got comments back. It will be resubmitted with changes early 2016. The GTR has some minor editorial changes with not content changes - it is the one online.
