{ • �` ♦ 201103583 To use grazing as a wetland and upland vegetation management tool, the grazing management plan must include the location, timing, intensity, frequency, and duration of grazing necessary to achieve the desired wetland functions and values of the WRP easement area as described herein. In particutar, the grazing management plan will: a. contain the provisions necessary to further the identified habitat and species goals and objectives described in the WRP easement and the this Exhibit herein; b. be compatible with the identified habitat and species goals and objectives, as described under NRCS practice standard Wetland Wildlife Habitat Management (644) and/or Upland Wildlife Habitat Management (645); c. include any livestock watering facilities or fencing. This infrastructure will include considerations for wildlife movement; and d. include a plan map depicting grazing units, infrastructure (existing and proposed fence), and livestock watering facilities (existing and proposed locations) and the effects analysis for the infrastructure. e. include criteria to evaluate the effect grazing has on the desired habitat and include the flexibility to make annual adjustments in the location, timing, intensity, frequency, and duration of grazing to account for seasonal climatic factors that result in changes in forage production and subsequent impacts of stocking rates on the desired habitat conditions. f. include periodic monitoring of the effects of grazing on fish and wildlife functions/services. NRCS may require changes to the grazing management plan to address appropriate habitat features such as nesting, open water, invasive species control, or other factors that were not adequately addressed in the original grazing management plan but aze necessary to achieve the goals and objectives of the WRP easement and this Exhibit.
