APPENDIX B
OPERATIONAL MANAGEMENT PLAN
B-1. Operational Management Plan. Following approval of the master plan (MP), preparation of
the operational management plan (OMP) for natural resources and park management will be
initiated by the operations element. The OMP shall be prepared as a separate document, and will
outline in detail the specific operation and administration requirements for natural resources and
park management, consistent with the approved MP. If the MP is not scheduled for completion
within one year, operations will proceed with development of the OMP.
B-2. Preparation.
a. The following parts of the OMP will be prepared:
I - Natural Resource Management
II - Park Management
b. Management Strategies consistent with authorized project purposes, approved
resource use objectives and land use designations will be established for each part. The OMP will
be used as a working tool and will include funds, manpower and time frame required to implement
these strategies. As the OMP will be a working tool to be used in the overall management of the
project, it should be in loose leaf format and if possible updated every five years. Approval of the
OMP and its updates rests with the district commander. Portions of the plan (funding, manpower
and equipment needs) will be updated and submitted for approval to the District Commander on a
yearly basis. An OMP will be prepared and submitted for all projects. At projects with only small
acreages managed by the Corps (i.e., a few hundred acres around the dam), the plan will be
prepared in the same general format but on a limited basis commensurate with the degree of
management possible. The OMP will show how the management of the outgranted lands
supports the overall management objectives of the project. Operations and real estate elements
will share these overall management objectives with the grantees so as to strengthen the support
provided by their development and/or management of outgranted areas.
c. Part I. Natural Resources Management will replace the former Master Plan
Appendices B (Forest /Range Management), C (Fire Control), and D (Fish and Wildlife
Management). This part will be based on a total ecosystem or compartment approach to
management of natural resources. Part I will include (a) compartment descriptions, (b)
management objectives, and (c) implementation plans. When determining management objectives,
overall project management objectives (including outgranted areas) should be considered and
addressed in the plan. A basic outline is to be used as follows:
