Reason for change in estimated budget

Jackknife Canyon and John Day River lands have been added to the scope of the Watershed Council. The geographic area serviced through this watershed council has approximately doubled. The land uses and issues are nearly identical. The contracted range planner is currently conducting rangeland condition assessments on uplands in Jackknife Canyon and associated lands along the John Day River. By 2001, grazing management plans will be in preliminary stages, and high priority projects will be identified. The budgets for planning, implementation and monitoring are increased slightly due to this change in geographic scope. On the other hand, funds from FY1999 were carried over into FY2000. Most of this carryover is expected to linger into FY2001.
