Next Meeting
Workshop 2 of 2 to include:
1. Bill Elliot - Rocky Mt Research Station, Moscow, ID USFS Water Erosion
Prediction Project (WEPP) Modeling
2. Lake Mary Technical Advisory Committee Engagement
3. Completion of the FWPP Watershed Response Monitoring Plan
(Will occur in Sept/Oct, exact date TBD)
Watershed Response Monitoring Questions:
1. Did we reduce the risk of fire-induced impacts of flooding and sediment
transport?
2. How does sediment transport change with upland erosion changes
associated with baseline, restoration treatment, and wildfire
conditions?
3. Did we protect water quality and quantity of Lake Mary?
