"Prepared by an interagency (BLM, USFS, EPA, USFWS), interdisplinary team as part of the pilot program for revising the federal interagency guide to watershed analysis"--P. 1-3; "The Spencer Creek Watershed Analysis presents an ecosystem analysis at the watershed scale. It describes the current understanding of the processes and interactions of concern occurring within the Spencer Creek watershed. The analysis looked at the entire watershed regardless of ownership so that a more complete understanding of the watershed could be achieved. It is intended to guide management on the federal lands within the watershed. It is also meant to help us understand how past land use activities interact with the physical and biological environments in the watershed. This analysis provides a logical way to learn more about how ecological systems function within the watershed. This information is essential to protect beneficial uses and to protect and sustain the natural systems that society depends upon. The analysis provide a vehicle to efficiently identify and balance multiple concerns"-P. 1-3 [12]
