Abstract
The purpose of this watershed analysis is to identify the various ecosystem components in the Grants Pass Rogue River fifth field watershed and their interactions at a landscape scale. It looks at historical ecological components, current ecological components and trends. It makes recommendations for future management actions that are needed to reach recommended ecological conditions. As you read this document, it is important to keep in mind that the watershed analysis process is an iterative and ongoing process. As new information becomes available it will be included and updating will occur. It is also important to keep in mind that this analysis document is not a decision document. Recommendations outlined in this watershed analysis are a points of departure for project specific planning and evaluation work. Project planning then includes the preparation of environmental assessments and formal decision records as required by National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). Project planning and land management actions would also be designed to meet the objectives and directives of our Medford District Resource Management Plan (RMP). This watershed analysis will thus be used as a tool in land management planning and project implementation within the Grants Pass watershed on BLM-administered lands. Although ecological information, discussions and recommendations are presented at the landscape scale irrespective of administrative ownership, please understand that the BLM will only be implementing management actions on the lands it administers. Preparation of this watershed analysis follows the format outlined in the federal watershed analysis
