Common use of Monitoring Methodology Clause in Contracts

Monitoring Methodology. Monitoring will include assessment of landowner compliance with approved parcel-specific land management agreements, including assessment to ensure that ponded fields are maintained at proper depths to support Sandhill crane roosting and soil saturation conducive to Sandhill crane foraging. In addition, water levels in ponded fields will be monitored to ensure proper vector control management is implemented. Compliance will be documented by Program staff or consultants and conducted in cooperation with, and assistance from, the landowners. Documents will include key details that relate to crane use, such as winter season irrigation, timing of roost site ponding (by field), crop harvest timing, and timing of other crane habitat management activities.
