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, staffing, 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 for outgranted areas will include the
outgrantee's management plans for the area and how the management of the outgranted land
supports the overall management objectives of the project.
(3) Part I. Natural Resources Management replaces 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 to be used is presented as Table 3-1 on the following page.
