Range Conservation Plans

(1)

If a range conservation plan is required before a use is allowed, it shall be prepared by landowners in cooperation with range scientists from local conservation districts. Specialists from the Oregon or Washington Natural Heritage Program should be consulted while the plan is being prepared.

(2)

Range conservation plans shall ensure that new uses do not adversely affect natural areas. They shall accomplish the following goals:

(a)

Maintain native rangeland that is in excellent or good condition; enhance rangeland that is in fair or poor condition.

(b)

Preserve native trees and shrubs.

(c)

Reestablish native grasses in degraded areas that have been invaded by non-native plants and weeds.

(3)

Range conservation plans shall include the following elements:

(a)

Range inventory. This shall include existing composition, carrying capacity, and condition of rangeland; the location of rare plants and non-native weeds; and existing fences, watering ponds, and other range improvements.

(b)

Rehabilitation plan. This shall include actions that will be taken to rehabilitate native rangeland that is in fair or poor condition, such as weed and soil erosion control, seeding, and prescribed burning.

(c)

Livestock management plan. This shall include the grazing system that will be used, including number and size of pastures, expected livestock numbers, and grazing/deferral periods and sequence. Management plans shall project livestock movements for at least 3 years.

(d)

Monitoring program. This shall track the annual progress of the conservation plan and condition of the range. Monitoring techniques shall be described, such as line transects or photographic plots.
