USDA United States ~ Department -· of Agriculture .Riparian Reference Areas Forest Service in Idaho: a Catalog of Rocky Mountain Research Station General Technical Plant Associations and Report RMRS-GTR-20 January 1999 Conservation Sites Mabel Jankovsky-Jones Steven K.

Rep. RMRS-GTR-20. Ogden, UT: U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Service, Rocky Mountain Research Station. 141 p. Idaho land managers and regulators need knowledge on riparian reference sites. Reference sites are ecological controls that can be used to set meaningful management and regulatory goals. Since 1984, the Idaho Conservation Data Center, Boise, ID, has compiled information in a series of interrelated databases on the distribution and condition of riparian, wetland, and terrestrial plant associations in high quality reference sites in Idaho. This report summarizes association-specific and reference area-specific information from our databases and presents a standardized classification of Idaho riparian and wetland plant associations. Each plant association entry includes the current global and state conservation rank, and the plant association's occurrence in reference areas (if any). This is followed by a summary of each

The study was commissioned by IPC and conducted by David Evans and Associates, Inc. (DEA), and its purpose was to evaluate the effects of Pro- ject facilities and operations on the aesthetic environment within the Study Area. The Project is located on the Snake River, the largest river in Idaho, in the southern portion of Hells Canyon. The Project includes Brownlee, Oxbow, and Hells Canyon reservoirs and the dams, powerhouses, and appurtenant facilities associated with the reservoirs. The Study Area in- cludes the Project and adjacent lands, the Hells Canyon National Recreation Area (HCNRA), and 14 transmission lines that cover approximately 658 miles and extend through northeastern Oregon and southwestern and southern Idaho. Because most of the public land in the Study Area is under either Bureau of Land Management (BLM) or US Forest Service (USFS) jurisdiction, the protocols for visual resource assessment used by these two agencies were used to conduct the study. The BLM’s protocol is called Visual Resource Management (VRM) and relies on a Visual Contrast Rating to determine the visual condition of a landscape. The USFS’s protocol is called Scenery Management System (SMS) and relies on an assessment of landscape character and scenic integrity to determine the visual and aesthetic condition of a landscape.
