Plan Area. 2.1 Plan Preparation Process The Intermunicipal Development Plan was jointly prepared by Rocky View County and Wheatland County. The project received oversight from a Review Committee consisting of Councillors and Senior Administration from both municipalities. The plan was developed through four stages: Stage 1: Research, analysis, and stakeholder input Stage 2: Draft IDP and review of the IDP by the Committee Stage 3: Public review of the IDP to receive suggestions and representations Stage 4: IDP approval process
Plan Area. 4.1 Plan Boundary The Plan Area (Map 1.0) was agreed upon and then examined to determine opportunities and constraints that could affect land use planning between the two municipalities. After consideration of the social, economic, and physical features listed below, a Plan Area of 1 mile surrounding the Village municipal boundary was adequate to achieve the goals of the plan. Within the Plan Area, the following economic, environmental and social considerations were examined:
Plan Area. 4.2 Key Characteristics of the Plan Area After evaluating the economic, environmental, and social considerations within the Plan Area, the following key characteristics were identified: Land Use Lands within the Plan Area are predominately zoned Agricultural with the exception of five quarter sections of Airport Vicinity Overlay in the northeast corner and a portion of Rural Industrial on the west boundary.
Plan Area. This Noxious Weed Plan addresses lands within the Xxxxx River Project boundary and those lands outside the project boundary surveyed during relicensing studies. The initial Plan Area includes: The perimeters of Xxxxx Lake and Xxxx Xxxxxxx up to the approximate high pool elevations of 727.7 and 442.35 feet, respectively; The mouths of all USDA-FS Type 1, 2, or 3 streams with a defined channel, from the point of outflow to the reservoir upstream 300 meters, or as far as the invasive weeds were present; Project facility areas including Puget Sound Energy campgrounds, dams and associated facilities, fish facilities, and dikes; Selected sites where xxxx Xxxxxx (Geranium robertianum) has been previously sighted, including Maple Grove campground; and Selected areas outside of the project boundary where invasive non-native weeds are present and are considered to be associated with the populations found within the project area. Weed management activities may be undertaken on lands acquired pursuant to Articles 502, 503, 504, and 505. These acquired parcels will be evaluated and managed per the specific guidelines in Section 4.3.1
Plan Area. The plan area is defined as those actions at features specifically identified in SA 302. In particular, SA 302 identifies the following project facilities and actions for aesthetics- related improvements. Paint for the pump station near West Pass Dike Native vegetation for screening of the Upper Xxxxx operations and maintenance yards Paint for the crane at Lower Xxxxx Dam Native vegetation landscaping at the Lower Xxxxx River operations complex Additionally, SA 302 also identifies several areas where the USDA-FS, with funding from PSE, will be responsible for vegetation management. These areas include: Panorama Point. Horseshoe Cove. Xxxxxxx Creek. Bayview Campground. Maple Grove Campground. Two to four undefined locations between USDA-FS developed sites/viewpoints and Xxxxx Lake.
Plan Area. The Xxxxx River watershed, U.S. Geological Survey Hydrologic Unit Code 17110005 (Upper Skagit), encompasses the plan area for SA 104. The plan area includes Xxxxx Lake and its tributaries, Xxxx Xxxxxxx and its tributaries, and the lower Xxxxx River from Xxxx Xxxxxxx downstream to the Skagit River.
Plan Area. The Plan Area, as defined in SA 304, includes Xxxxx Reservoir, as well as recreation sites and use areas along the reservoir shoreline. Recreation sites and use areas specifically identified in SA 304 and the Plan Area include the following: Xxxxxxx Creek Campground and Boat Launch Xxxxx Lake Resort and Boat Launch Panorama Point Campground and Boat Launch Bayview Campground Kulshan Campground Maple Grove Campground Horseshoe Cove Campground and Boat Launch West Pass Dike Boat Launch In addition to these recreation sites and use areas, water safety-related information and materials may also be provided at the USDA-FS/National Park Service office in Sedro- Xxxxxxx and PSE’s visitor information center in Concrete. PSE may implement site- specific water safety-related actions at these two sites (which are not located along the Xxxxx Reservoir shoreline), as well as other potential sites and use areas, per the siting process described in Section 6.3 (Procedures).
Plan Area. The EMP will apply to: Deciduous forest habitat acquired and managed according to SA 502. Elk foraging habitat acquired and managed according to SA 503. Wetland habitat acquired and managed according to SA 504. Natural and artificial osprey nest structures along the shoreline of Xxxx Xxxxxxx according to SA 506. Loon floating nest platforms on Xxxx Xxxxxxx and Xxxxx Lake, according to SA 507. Bald eagle nests and communal winter night roosts for which Puget Sound Energy has prepared management plans according to SA 513.
Plan Area. The provisions of the Bald Eagle Plan pertain to lands within the Xxxxx River project boundary, including lands acquired to satisfy one or more of the license or Settlement Agreement Articles. The plan area covers suitable bald eagle nest and communal winter roost habitat, known bald eagle nests, nest buffer zones, and communal winter night roost habitat on non- federal lands within the Xxxxx River Project boundary. For nests located outside the project boundary, the plan covers only the portions of their buffer zones that fall within the project boundary. For the purpose of conducting communal winter night roost surveys, the plan area will also extend to suitable roost habitat within 400 feet of the project boundary. At the discretion of the USFS, surveys may also include National Forest System (NMF) lands within 400 feet of ongoing or proposed project-related activities conducted by Puget Sound Energy with potential to disturb nesting or communal roosting.
Plan Area. The initial Plan area (Plan Area) was defined by lands within the current Xxxxx River Project boundary and the following non-Project lands: 1) areas on NFS lands with potential to be impacted by Project activities, based on a USDA-FS prefield review process, and 2) areas surveyed during relicensing rare plant surveys, as indicated by Xxxxx River Project Relicense Study T16, as amended (Xxxxx Environmental and R2, 2003a and 2003b). Plan Area inclusion will follow the FERC directives as specified in section 5.3 above. The Plan Area may be modified, by amendment of the FERC Project boundary, to include new parcels acquired under the license and new locations managed for special status plants or by FERC directive. Development of new site-specific management plans for each new parcel incorporated into the Project boundary and each new site of habitat-disturbing activity under the new license is not mandatory. The TRIG will determine whether special status plants are present, and whether the level of risk posed by the project action necessitates implementation of a site-specific management plan. New parcels and new project-related habitat-disturbing activities will be evaluated as described in Section 6.3, Procedures.
