Purpose: This page provides guidance on how to report Nonstructural Land Management Practices (NLMPs) where a contract is implemented over multiple years, and where the practice location may change each year.
NLMP Reporting Decision Tree:
1. Is the contract length more than 1 year?
If no, enter 1 Activity Detail.
- Count of practices installed = number of separate fields where practice was installed
- Map location(s)
- Activity Lifespan = 1 year
- Proposed and Actual Size = enter applicable amount
- Installed Date = date practice installed
- Enter indicators for practice
If yes, go to question 2.
2. Is the practice located in the same location(s) each year?
If yes, enter 1 Activity Detail.
- Count of practices installed = number of separate fields where practice was installed
- Map location(s) once
- Activity Lifespan = contract length (# of years practice implemented
- Proposed and Actual Size = annual amount (NOT total for all years)
- Installed Date = date first year of practice is installed
- Indicators should be entered as an annual amount (Ex. tons/year)
If no, enter a separate Activity Detail for each year. Example: 3 activity details for 3-year contract.
- Count of practices installed = number of separate fields where practice was installed
- Map location(s) as appropriate for each year
- Activity Lifespan = 1 year
- Proposed and Actual Size = amount implemented each year
- Installed Date = date practice is installed each year
- Indicators should be entered as an annual amount, specific to the location for a given year (Ex. tons/year)
Note: In instances where the grant agreement expires before the end of the NLMP contract, please map as close to the proposed practice location(s) as possible for each year of the practice life
