Objective | |||
| Carson (2022) |
When drafting water from streams or other waterbodies, measures should be taken to prevent entrapment of fish and aquatic organisms and the spread of parasites or disease (e.g., chytrid fungus, Didymo, and whirling disease). (28) (28) Guidance can More ... Keywords (22) |
Guideline | |||
| Carson (2022) |
Desirable nonnative species (e.g., brown trout, brook trout, and Kentucky bluegrass) should be managed in such a way that they do not conflict with the recovery of native species or existing multiple uses.
Keywords (22) |
Guideline | |||
| Carson (2022) |
Integrated pest management approaches and other treatments to control, treat or retreat noxious and invasive species should be used to improve watershed condition and maintain ecosystem function, while minimizing project impacts on native species.

Guideline | |||
| Carson (2022) |
If chemical application is necessary near sensitive habitat (e.g., developed sites, known at-risk plants, riparian areas), techniques (e.g., buffers, type of chemical, mixture) should be applied to minimize effects on native species and sensitive hab More ...

Guideline | |||
| Carson (2022) |
Ground-disturbing activities should be assessed for risk of noxious weed invasion and incorporate measures that minimize the potential for the spread of noxious and invasive species.
Keywords (2) |
Guideline | |||
| Carson (2022) |
Preventive measures, such as requiring pre- and post-work cleaning of equipment and using certified weed-free seed, should be implemented through contracting, permitting, and other administrative processes. Weed-free plant material should be selected More ...

Consider prioritizing inventories in areas of unique and rare habitats first and then areas of high use and disturbance second (e.g., material pits, trailheads, campgrounds, corrals, roads, boat ramps, and bridges).
Keywords (1) |
Management Approaches/Strategies | |||
| Carson (2022) |
For control of invasive species, consider prioritizing areas (e.g., wilderness, research natural areas, botanical areas, wild and scenic river areas, and riparian areas) to maintain the integrity of native species and ecosystems.
