| | C | 99 | Outreach and Education | Wenatchee and Entiat CHaMP and ISEMP Status and Trend and Effectiveness Monitoring Outreach | Outreach and education to specific landowners about habitat and fish surveys and request access permission to conduct physical habitat and fish surveys on private land. Track status of site evaluation, track requests from landowners regarding accessing property and final disposition of site using champmonitoring.org.
Private landownership may limit access to individual sites. Access permission must be obtained directly from the landowner prior to sampling sites that require access through private lands. Private landowner permission must be clearly documented. Access conditions may vary from year-to-year and sites that are scheduled for revisiting may need to be re-evaluated prior to each visit.
Landowners that block access may not necessarily stop that whole site from being accessed. The general rule has been at least 70-80% of the landowners in a given site must give permission. Denied access will be tracked and updated via the master spreadsheet
