# Appendix J – Best Management Practices Introduction A Best Management Practice (BMP) is a practice or combination of practices that have been determined to be the most e ff

ective and practicable in preventing or reducing the amount of pollution generated by non-point sources to a level compatible with water quality goals (40 CFR 130.2 [m]). Using of BMPs is required by the Clean Water Act (33 U.S.C 1251 et seq .) to reduce nonpoint source pollution to the maximum extent practicable. Nonpoint source pollution is defined as pollutants detected in waterbodies, such as a streams or lakes, which come from the landscape in a dispersed manner. The BMPs are the primary controls for ac hieving Oregon’s water quality standards pertaining to nonpoint source pollution. Oregon’s narrative and numeric criteria within water quality standards are designed to protect designated beneficial uses such as salmonid spawning and rearing, resident fish a nd aquatic life, domestic water supplies, and water-contact recreation. The BLM is responsible for implementing BMPs on the lands it administers. 30 

### The BMPs provide compliance with the Clean Water Act of 1972, as amended, State of Oregon water quality legislation (Chapter 340), and the O&C Act. For proposed management actions, the BLM would design and implement BMPs in a manner that is consistent with the ODEQ Memorandum of Understanding (ODEQ and USDI BLM 2011), and with the Clean Water Act. The BLM’s and ODEQ’s strategy for managing and controlling nonpoint source water pollution from BLM-administered lands in the State of Oregon is managed through a Memorandum of Understanding between the two agencies (ODEQ and USDI BLM 2011). This MOU defines the process by which the BLM and ODEQ will cooperatively meet State and Federal water quality rules and regulations. The physical, chemical, and biological conditions of ‘waters of the State’ that support beneficial uses 31 

### would be protected, restored, and maintained by working in a proactive, collaborative, and adaptive manner. The MOU specifies that the BLM would implement site-specific BMPs as specified in management objectives, standards, guidelines, design features, and mitigation developed in RMPs, RMP amendments, project-level plans, and Water Quality Restoration Plans to meet applicable water quality standards. The MOU requires monitoring to ensure that practices are properly designed and applied, to determine the effectiveness of practices in meeting water quality standards, and to provide for adjustment of BMPs when it is found that water quality standards are not being protected. The RMP contains measures in both management direction and BMPs to prevent and reduce the amount of pollution generated by non-point sources to a level compatible with water quality goals. Where a specific measure would apply to all actions on all sites (either in a specific land use allocation or across the decision area), the BLM presents the measure as management direction. 32 

### Where the applicability of a specific measure would depend upon site-specific conditions, technical feasibility, resource availability, and the water quality of those wat er bodies potentially affected, the BLM presents the measure as a BMP. This appendix only lists the BMPs, which must be considered together with the management direction ( Appendix B ).

30 

### The ODEQ has granted Designated Management Agency status to the BLM through a Memorandum of Understanding (ODEQ and USDI BLM 2011). 31 

### Beneficial uses are defined in Oregon Revised Statute (ORS), Chapter 468B Water Quality, and Oregon Administrative Rules (OAR), Division 41. 32 

### Management direction identifies where future actions may or may not be allowed and what restrictions or requirements may be placed on those future actions to achieve the objectives set for the BLM-administered lands and resources ( Appendix B ).

### 1346 | P a g e

The BMPs described in this appendix are methods, measures, or practices selected based on site - specific conditions to ensure that the BLM would maintain water quali ty at its highest practicable level to meet water quality standards and TMDL load allocations as set by the State of Oregon’s Department of Environmental Quality. These site - specific BMPs are a compilation of commonly employed practices developed through p rofessional experience or research, and designed to minimize water quality degradation and loss of soil productivity. The BMPs include, but are not limited to, avoidance, structural and nonstructural treatments, operations, and maintenance procedures. Alth ough normally preventative, BMPs can be applied before, during, and after pollution - producing activities to reduce or eliminate the introduction of pollutants into receiving waters (40 CFR 130.2, EPA Water Quality Standards Regulation). The implementation of these BMPs would be the beginning of an iterative process that includes the monitoring and modification of BMPs, where needed, to achieve water quality goals. This cyclic process would be the primary mechanism to achieve Oregon’s water quality standards . For vegetation treatments using herbicides on BLM - administered lands in the decision area, BMPs are included in Vegetation Treatments Using Herbicides on BLM Lands in Oregon Record of Decision (USDI BLM 2010) as mitigation measures and standard operatin g practices, and are incorporated here by reference. Briefly, mitigation and standard operating procedures in Attachment A; General, Soil, Water Resources, Wetlands and Riparian Areas, Fish and Other Aquatic Organisms, Recreation and other ben eficial uses and values (pp. 33

– 45), and additional mitigation measures (pp. 13

– 15) are considered BMPs for herbicide treatments. For other management activities, including minerals exploration and development, linear transmission projects, and most hazardous materials , the mechanism to achieve Oregon State Water Quality Standards would be guided by RMP management direction, regulations, or project - level design features, and not necessarily be covered by the BMPs contained in this RMP. For example, management of locatab le minerals is governed by regulations found in 43 CFR 3809. The BMPs for locatable minerals include language from 43 CFR 3809 that requires operators to prevent unnecessary and undue degradation from mining operations , as defined in 43 CFR 3809.5 and 43 C FR 3809.415 . 

# Selection and Application of BMPs For implementation actions under this RMP, BLM decision - makers will select the appropriate and applicable BMPs, using input from BLM staff. The BLM will select BMPs based upon site - specific conditions, techni cal feasibility, resource availability, and t he water quality of those water bodies potentially impacted. Not all of the BMPs listed will be selected for any specific management action. The BMPs below do not provide an exhaustive list of nonpoint source cont rol measures. The BLM may identify additional nonpoint source control measures during project - level planning and analysis. The BLM will apply the selected BMPs in a manner that would be in conformance with all RMP management direction. The BMPs that relat e to instream activities may coincidently be similar to applicable practices specified in applicable permits, such as Army Corps of Engineers, Department of State Lands, and ODFW joint removal/fill permits, ODEQ water quality permits and 401 certifications, o r project design criteria contained in biological assessments. The BMPs in the following tables are not specific permit requirements, but rather demonstrate the process by which the BLM would control nonpoint source pollution from instream activities. 

# Moni toring and Adjustment The BLM will monitor the application of BMPs through implementation and effectiveness monitoring. Post - project implementation monitoring of selected BMPs will evaluate whether the BLM carries forward

### 1347 | P a g e

BMPs from the project - level plans. Effectiveness monitoring will evaluate whether selected BMPs meet water quality standards and criteria and assure protection of beneficial uses. The BLM would modify BMPs if monitoring demonstrates that water quality standards are not being protected. The BLM would make changes to individual BMPs, or additions or deletions to the BMP lists below, through plan maintenance, consistent with 43 CFR 1610.5

– 4. 

# BMP Lists Table J - 1 through Table J - 14 are organized by core activities on BLM - administered lands in the decision area. For each core activity, the table displays the sequential nu mber and BMP in the left columns, the source or reference in the center column, and the applicable ODEQ narrative or numeric water quality standards in the right column. The table identifies the ODEQ Oregon Administrative Rules (OAR) number(s) in the right column and provides OAR references within the roads and landings section, to compare these BMPs to similar Oregon Department of Forestry OARs. See Oregon Administrative Rules on water pollution (ODEQ OARs, Division 41 , 2015) for additional details about t he standards and regulations that are associated with the BMPs. Core activities with BMPs include: • Road and landing maintenance and construction • Timber harvest activities • Silvicultural activities • Fire and fuels management • Surface source water for drinking water • Recreation management • Range management • Minerals (salable) development • Spill prevention and abatement • Restoration activities • Dry forest - specific BMPs The following lists of BMPs are not intended to be all - inclusive nor replac e site - specific project planning, which may require the use of different or additional BMP practices.

# Dry Forest - specific BMPs Soils of concern in the dry forest area include those with a high potential for severe surface erosion, soil creep, periodic slumping (even when not overly saturated), and low nutrient potential. These soils weathered from granite, schist, and pyroclastic materials. The Timber Production Capability Classification (TPCC) and Handbook (5251 - 1, USDI BLM 1986) involves mapping, with discrete mapping units and interpretations of timbered lands. The classification uses geology, landform, topographic position, climate (especially precipitation), soil properties, and vegetation. Lands with the capacity to erode excessively or prone to movement are denoted with either a fragile code o f FM (surface erosion potential) or FP (mass movement potential) ( Table J - 13 ) . Table J - 13 . Timber Production Capability Classification soil categories of concern Category Description of Soil Categories

Surface Erosion FM These sites have soil surface horizons that are highly erodible, easily detached and subject to

bouncing or sliding downhill (dry ravel), even if partially vegetated. The soils overlay intrusive volcanic bedrock (e.g., granite, diorite, and schist ). The Na tural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) provides a Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation soil loss tolerance factor, known as T factor, which ranges from a low of 1 (on shallow soils, 1

– 10” depth), to 5 (on soils deeper than 60 ” ). This factor describes the maximum rate of annual soil loss in tons/acre that can be lost and still permit crop productivity to sustain economically and indefinitely. Disturbances from harvesting or burning create increased dry raveling of soil, losses of soil nutrients, and bur ying of newly planted seedlings. Classification coding may be FMR for suitable lands or FMNW for non - suitable lands. Mass Movement FP These sites range from gentle to moderately steep slopes, 10

– 60 percent, where the rate of

sliding is slow enough to perm it forest management, but with some loss in wood quality in certain areas. Sites may have an impervious clay pan overlaying pyroclastic bedrock (e.g., volcanic tuffs, breccia, and are subject to movement). Tree roots providing strength and certain landform s act as resisting forces, while gravity and soil moisture may initiate non uniform spatial and temporal rates of movement. Slow deep seated, slump or earth flow types of mass movements may occur, forming an undulating topography. Classification coding may be FPR for suitable lands or FPNW for non - suitable lands.
