PART 279_RESOURCE USE: ESTABLISHMENT OF OBJECTIVES--Table of Contents

 

Sec.  279.9  Objective rationale.



    (a) Statement of objectives. The last step in this process is the 

summarization of the preceding work by clearly stating the objective(s) 

and providing the rationale, impact, and basic management measures for 

their accomplishment. The logic, trade-offs, and judgments made in the 

process should be presented in a concise and readable manner. The 

impacts, both beneficial and adverse, that will result from attaining 

objectives selected must be presented. General implementation measures 

(e.g., campground development, use of fish attractors, limiting use in 

environmentally sensitive areas, lake fluctuation control, etc.) should 

be stated as a guide for the preparation of detailed development plans 

and management actions to achieve the objectives.

    (b) Purpose of objectives. The resource use objectives for each 

project will guide the design, development and management of the 

resource base to obtain the greatest possible benefit through meeting 

the needs of the public and to protect and enhance environmental 

quality. The resource use objectives should be reflected in reports and 

plans relating to a study or restudy of water resource projects. 

Management actions on existing projects, including leasing and 

licensing, will also be directed towards the attainment of the approved 

resource use objectives.
