  1. Problem Statement: To Sustain Front Range Montane Ecosystems and Support Associated Social/Economic Systems Define Desired Conditions (DCs) for Ecological Restoration and Identify Uncertainties Defined by Front Range Roundtable (currently Landscape Restoration Team) and Agencies Define Restoration Areas Proposed by Agencies; agreed to by Front Range Roundtable (pre-NEPA) External/ Internal Research Define Restoration Actions and Treatments Defined by Front Range Roundtable; agreed to by Agencies Develop/Modify Monitoring Plan No Are treatments contributing to DCs? Project Planning/NEPA Modify Project Yes No Yes Were design criteria feasible? No Were thresholds/ trigger points exceeded? Are these the right areas to treat? Contract/Task Order/Treatment Preparation No Yes Yes No Are DCs and Uncertainties defined correctly? Pre-Treatment Monitoring No During-Project Monitoring Adaptive Monitoring Was project prepared as designed? Yes No Project Implementation Yes Is the problem defined correctly? Modify Contract No Are we monitoring the right things? Is monitoring effective? Yes Are contract design criteria being met? Post-Treatment Monitoring Yes No Was project implemented as designed? Yes No Yes Data Compilation, Analysis, and Evaluation Implementation Monitoring Effectiveness Monitoring

  2. Problem Statement: To Sustain Front Range Montane Ecosystems and Support Associated Social/Economic Systems Define Desired Conditions (DCs) for Ecological Restoration and Identify Uncertainties Defined by Front Range Roundtable* and Agencies External/ Internal Research Define Restoration Areas Proposed by Agencies; agreed to by Front Range Roundtable (pre-NEPA) Define Restoration Actions/Treatments Defined by Front Range Roundtable; agreed to by Agencies Develop/Modify Monitoring Plan No Are treatments contributing to DCs? Project Planning/ NEPA Yes No Are these the right areas to treat? Contract/Task Order/Treatment Preparation No Yes Are DCs and uncertainties defined correctly? Pre-Treatment Monitoring No Project Implementation and Implementation Monitoring** No Is the problem defined correctly? Yes Are we monitoring the right things? Is monitoring effective? Yes Yes Post-Treatment Monitoring Effectiveness monitoring: long-term, landscape-scale Adaptive monitoring: Continual and long term Data Compilation, Analysis, and Evaluation ** See Implementation Monitoring diagram and explanation in accompanying text • * Currently delegated to the Landscape Restoration Team

  3. Implementation Monitoring Diagram (with trigger points) Project Planning, NEPA Redesign project. Ensure preparer and implementer understand project purpose and design. Project (Treatment) Preparation No Were thresholds/trigger points exceeded? Yes Pre-Treatment Monitoring Yes Are contract design criteria being met? If not, ensure compliance, or modify or cancel contract. Were design criteria feasible? Project Implementation No Yes Was project prepared as designed? No Yes Post-Treatment Monitoring Was project implemented as designed? No Analysis and Evaluation Contract Administration (“During-project” Monitoring) Post-project Monitoring
