Appendix B to Part 273 - Information Requirements for Aquatic Plant
Control Program Reports
1. Location and brief description of problem area if necessary
for understanding environmental factors, including a suitable map
(appendix).
2. Statement of problem with brief description of physical
factors pertaining thereto, including identification by common and
scientific name of the plant or plants concerned, origin of
infestation and likely source of reinfestation; extent of
infestation including estimated surface area, depth or density;
nature of physical and economic damages occasioned by presence of
the infestation; and other information clarifying the nature and
magnitude of the problem. Explanation should be given of how and
why the infestation meets the principal criteria governing the
program.
3. Preliminary plan of procedure, if any, for control operations
or engineering works, including control methods, materials,
equipment and procedures that may be employed. If sufficient
information is not available to outline a preliminary plan for
operation control, the report should include a brief statement of
the special problems in control methods that need to be resolved
before detailed planning can be undertaken.
4. Preliminary project cost estimates broken down into planning
and operation costs for Federal and non-Federal budgeting. The
report should present sufficient data concerning cost estimates for
review by item and unit price.
5. Preliminary economic evaluation with approximation of
benefits and brief summary of supporting data classified as general
or local.
6. Discussion of availability of authority for State
participation in the program, the interest of State agencies in
such participation, and the likelihood of State funds being
available for cost-sharing required for any control operations.
7. Cost estimate for subsequent preparation of a detailed
planning report, and estimated length of time to complete after
receipt of funds, and schedule of funding by fiscal years.
