Interpretation of Results n n n All BLM states were involved at some level with creation of NHD and WBD. Significant disparity exists across BLM states concerning participation in NHD Partnerships and development of Stewardship Agreements. Most BLM states are beginning to download NHD. Most BLM states are associating attribute/event information to stream network, some as events on the NHD. Most states are identifying uses for the NHD and associated attribute information.
Needed Actions…. . n n Internal BLM direction clarifying NHD role in supporting Agency information needs. The BLM Washington Office is developing formal guidance for its distributed field organization. BLM needs to be proactive to ensure that its organization fully understands the NHD, its intent, uses, limitations, etc. BLM state organizations need to become more involved in hydrography framework (NHD) efforts within their states (eg. Partnerships, Stewardship Agreements). State framework groups need to solicit involvement by BLM state organizations.
