C.1 Historic Property Monito

• CMINS

– 11.1.1: Determine the status of historic properties under Re

Decision Operations.

– 11.1.1a: Determine periodically whether the essential physic

visible enough to retain their significance.

• Data Acquisition: 

1) monitor all sites potentially affected by dam operations on an 

assess their condition and integrity (approx. 60 sites/yr)

2) monitor a sample of sites via repeat mapping to systematicall

(quantify) amount of geomorphic change occurring system-wide operations (approx. 40 sites/year) 

• Data management and Dissemination

– Data accessioned into GCMRC data base – Annual monitoring reports– SCORE report

FY06 BUDGET= $391,161
Tribal Values Monitoring

• CMINS

– 11.2.1: Are the traditionally important resources and locat

tribe and other groups being affected?

– 11.1.1: Determine the status of historic properties under R

Decision Operations.

• Data Acquisition

:

– During tribal values integration workshop in Spring 2005, 

will identify specific culturally important resource values aspecific protocols to track changes to those values systematthrough time 

– Monitoring will be accomplished via annual tribal river tri

participation with archaeological site monitoring trips

• Data management and Dissemination

– Data accessioned into GCMRC data base, 

as appropriate 

– Annual monitoring reports– SCORE report

FY06 BUDGET=$316,250
CAMPSITE MONITO

Assessment of previous campprotocols undertaken in FY0report (Kaplinksi et al. 2003) that campsite I&M protocols highly variable/inconsistent tReport recommends:1) Conduct comprehensive i

all currently used camps 

2) Ground truth remotely-se

campable sand areas (Bre2003) and determine camboundaries

CAMPSITE MONITORIN

• CMINS:

– 9.3.1 Determine & track size, quality, and distribution of ca

by reach and stage level in Glen and Grand Canyons

– 9.3.2 Determine & track effects of ROD operations on the s

distribution of camping beaches in the CRE

– 9.1.1 D & T changes in recreational quality, opportunity an

and perceptions of users in the CRE (partially addressed)

– 9.1.3 D & T the level of satisfaction for river-related recreat

opportunities in the CRE (partially addressed re: campsite q

• DATA ACQUISTION:

– inventory all existing campsites and map camp areas onto di

rectified imagery

– compare changes in vegetation, amount of open sand 

areas, satellite camps, and social trailing via remotelysensed imagery collected every four years

• DATA MANAGEMENT & DISSEMINATION:

– Inventory report with maps of all current campsites– Campsite change assessment reports, once every 4 years– SCORE report

FY06 BUDGET=$221,966
Aeolian Project

• RINS:

– 11.1.1 What are sources of impacts to archaeological sites?

– 11.1.1a What and where are the geomorphic processes that 

site integrity with dam operations?

– 11.1.1b What are the terrace formation processes and how d

operations affect current terrace formation processes?

– 11.1.1c Determine if and where dam operations cause accele

to historic properties

• DATA ACQUISTION: 

– Continue collection of modern aeolian sand transport data r

sand deposits from FY05 experimental flows

– Evaluate stratigraphy of 3-5 additional prehistoric 

site areas to ascertain relative importance of aeolian process in the past compared to today

• DATA MANAGEMENT & DISSEMINATION:

– Final Report in FY06
