Identify those measures to be implemented by the District and address methods for monitoring results of those measures.

Step 8 Environmental review type here

Identify and evaluate the potential for environmental effects (both positive and negative) of implementing the plan. Although the preparation of a water conservation plan by a District is not a Federal action, and in and of itself is not subject to NEPA or ESA compliance, a water conservation plan includes consideration of the environmental effects of the selected water conservation measures as a part of the planning process.

Step 9. Implementation schedule and budget for each selected measure

Complete the following for each selected practice.

Best Management Practice - Year 1 Proposed work type here
