Conservation Management Plan Monitoring
(1) Notwithstanding (2), the conservation management plan holder must conduct at least one site visit to the property every three years, or as prescribed by a match funder if their interval for site visits is shorter than three years, to document the implementation of the conservation management plan.
(2) The agricultural landowner or operator and the conservation management plan holder may agree to establish specific monitoring protocols and site visit intervals more frequent than once every three years to identify trends in fish or wildlife habitat, water quality or other natural resource values, and must establish protocols if a modification of the conservation management plan results in specific monitoring or site visit needs. Protocols must be in writing and agreed to by both the agricultural landowner or operator and the conservation management plan holder. The Commission may provide guidance for consistent monitoring protocols.
(3) The Commission or its designees may conduct spot checks to ensure management plan implementation as identified in the plan and associated reporting. The agricultural landowner or operator shall allow site access to the Commission, OWEB, or their contractors or representatives upon reasonable notification by the Commission.
(4) The Commission may also develop monitoring protocols to evaluate the outcomes of conservation management plan implementation on a programmatic level.
