 Introduction:

WBD National Technical Coordinators, Mike and Karen

• Overview of status tracking sheet
• Sample ND results; confluences, missed ridges, attribution, interstate edgematching, international border issues
• Results of tracking sheet
• Final approach for completion       

 Assessment of agency involvement:

USFS approx. 50% of the state (coordinated for each forest by Leigh Bailey)

Idaho Panhandle - Genna has all of their 24k? digitized linework to review, names and numbers attributed only.

 Nez Perce - Genna has all of their 24k? digitized linework to review, names and numbers attributed only.

 Clearwater- Genna has all of their 24k? digitized linework to review, names and numbers attributed only.

 Wallowa - Genna has all of their 24k? digitized linework to review, names and numbers attributed only. Have coordinated with OR/WA.

 Payette - Genna has all of their 24k? digitized linework to review, names and numbers attributed only.

 Sawtooth  National Forest - Genna has all of their 24k? digitized linework to review, names and numbers attributed only.

 Caribou-Targhee - Genna has all of their 24k? digitized linework to review, names and numbers attributed only.

 Kootenai – Genna has all of their 24k? digitized linework to review, names and numbers attributed only.

 Salmon-Challis - Genna has all of their 24k? digitized linework to review, names and numbers attributed only.

 Bridger Teton – Been completed on the WY side

 Cache – Been completed on the UT side

 BLM approx. 25 % of the state (coordinated by Christa Braun)

 Populating the Status Tracking sheet:

BLM has participated in review and even provided funding toward the effort statewide where there is BLM land,

 Christa is GIS. BLM wants to have a hydrologist to assist. Nobody has been assigned since Ervin retired.

 Cannot make commitment of future involvement at this time

 Strategies adopted in populating:

Group decided to weight 4^th level change as Low, Moderate, High

 General statement on attribution:

Coding and names are completed for the most part statewide. However, names don’t necessarily meet standards; river needs to be at end, don’t have spaces around dashes, don’t use “above” or “below”, don’t use abbreviations.

 Evaluation:

 Scenarios/potential personnel used for completion:

Genna’s time for coordination

USGS-Steve’s time for work

BLM

Gary Young

SLC-NV, OR, WA borders-ID side

Gene Dana

If split work-who does the 4th

One entity for attribution?

 1^st priority

Have Steve work on all the 4^th level boundaries that have to be edgematched. Come up with cost to complete. WA, OR, NV, UT

 Have Karen (Salt Lake City) complete all the internal work for 5^th and 6^th level with attribution. WA, OR, NV, UT.

 Determine commitment of BLM for 7 subbasins they have worked on. Ideally 4^th, 5^th and 6^th level linework, plus attribution.

 Steve Garcia bid on BLM 4^th level

2^nd priority

WY/MT assessment for Genna

3rd priority

Steve Garcia bid for 4^th level for rest of state.

 Karen will work with Steve on bidding 5^th, 6^th level and attribution costs per subbasin on internal.

 Other:

Leigh Bailey, USFS-In kind for coordination and concept development. Get assistance from Bruce McCammon and Utah USFS to back her in re-investment of ID USFS to clean up linework to completion

 Notes: Karen will get WBD Tools and manual to ID,

Note: Send Steve and Al the jped schedule for the adjacent states.
