County Questionnaire Results

Component 1: Plan the Implementation Approach

A total of 35 counties (56%) said they would outline a systematic and comprehensive implementation strategy and incorporate it into their Land and Water Resource Management Plans (LWRMP), 3 (5%) responded "No", and 24 (39%) were unsure. The major concerns expressed were: 1) constraints on staffing and funding, 2) LWRMP revisions are too far in the future to predict county capabilities, or revisions are pending but the outcome of discussions is unpredictable, 3) concerns about ramifications if the strategy included in the LWRMP is not implemented because of circumstances beyond county control, and 4) uncertainties about what is meant by the term "systematic and comprehensive". Other reasons included problems with usability of the data, too many unanswered questions, or the topic hadn't yet been discussed with the LCC.
