Topics Featured In The Plan:

• Protect and restore springs and wetlands to abate peak flooding, maintain base flows, and improve water quality.
• Abate potential increase in stream temperatures.
• Manage wildfire risk in the wildland-urban interface (WUI) zone.
• Identify and prioritize structures in landslide-prone areas for improvement, including road crossings, road prisms, relief culverts and drain ditches, through mapping and soil surveys.
• Improve road crossings and road prism to reduce the potential for failure.
• Reduce overall miles of roads throughout the landscape in landslide-prone areas.
• Create partnerships to research local effects of climate change on water resources, forestry, and the economy.
• Include climate change adaptation assessment data, goals, and objectives into local and regional planning documents.
• Educate county officials on potential flood zones under climate change scenarios and provide alternatives to current floodplain management practices.
