If you are not sure about the answer, contact your State Environmental Liaison for assistance.  The NRCS-CPA-52 must provide evidence to conclude that the activity will not result in extraordinary circumstances or significant adverse environmental effects on the quality of the human environment, either individually or cumulatively.  If any of the extraordinary circumstances are found to apply to the proposed action, then you should determine whether the proposal can be modified to mitigate the adverse effects and prevent the extraordinary circumstances. If this can be done and the client agrees to any necessary change(s) in the proposed action to avoid significant adverse impacts, then the proposed action is to be modified and implemented. If the proposed action cannot be modified or the client refuses to accept a proposed change, then Item 5 in Section “Q” must be checked for the NRCS NEPA Compliance Finding to indicate that additional analysis and documentation is needed.

["Biophysical Regions"]
[]
["Northeast Highlands: Granite bedrock dominates this cool region, which is characterized by large wetlands, remote mountains, and lakes and ponds. Spruce and fir dominate the lowlands as well as the high elevations, whereas northern hardwoods cloak the mid-elevations.  The boreal characteristics of region are also reflected in the wildlife that occur here such as gray jays, spruce grouse, black-backed woodpeckers and mink frog.  Large expanses of forest and undeveloped land make this valuable habitat for black bear, moose, bobcat, fisher and forest songbirds.  Winters are typically severe which limit populations of deer although this area contains the largest deer wintering area in the state (Nulhegan basin)."]
[]
["Northern Vermont Piedmont: Calcium-rich soils combine with a cool climate to support mixed forests and Northern White Cedar Swamps, Fen, Rich Northern Hardwoods and other interesting natural communities in this region. The uplands have fine agricultural soils, but a short growing season.  Dense road networks fragment habitat near areas of development which can inhibit seasonal movements of wildlife.  All the major mammal species are found here with bear and fisher becoming more common.  Moose are more common in the North and Turkeys in the Southern part of this region.  The greatest concentration of nesting loons is found in this region.  "]
[]
["Southern Vermont Piedmont: Calcium-rich soils and rolling hills make this a good place for agriculture. The climate is average for Vermont, except in the extreme southeast where it is quite warm.  Northern hardwoods and red oak dominate the vegetation.  The Connecticut River and its valley are among the most dramatic features in this region.  Some of the rivers of this region provide habitat for rare invertebrates such as the brook floater and dwarf wedgemussel.  The Northern hardwood forests that dominate the region provide habitat for white-tailed deer, eastern cottontail, porcupine, wild turkey, gray squirrels and forest songbirds.  Vernal pools can be found and these provide important breeding sites for wood frogs,  and spotted salamanders."]
[]
["Southern Green Mountains: A combination of high peaks (with several ski areas), a high plateau, an escarpment on its western border and low foothills to the east comprise this region. The dominant bedrock is generally acidic and non-calcareous.  Climate is cold and rainfall is relatively high. Northern hardwoods, spruce, and fir dominate, and there are a number of small lakes and ponds.  This region provides some of the most extensive and wild habitat remaining in Vermont.  Typical mammals of this region include black bear, white-tailed deer, bobcat, fisher, beaver and red squirrel.  There are also several species of birds that are characteristic nesters  in high elevation forests, especially blackpoll warblers, Swainson's thrush, and the rare Bicknell's thrush.  "]
[]
["Northern Green Mountains: This area has a cool climate and high elevations and is mostly forested. Northern hardwoods dominate the side slopes and much of the region, whereas high elevations have spruce and fir as well as Alpine meadow habitat.  The dominant bedrock is generally acidic and non-calcareous.  This region provides extensive forested habitat for many wildlife species.  Typical mammals of this region include black bear, white-tailed deer, bobcat, fisher, beaver and red squirrel.  There are also several species of birds that are characteristic nesters  in high elevation forests, especially blackpoll warblers, Swainson's thrush, and the rare Bicknell's thrush.  "]
[]
["Champlain Valley: This region of Vermont has a warm and comparatively dry climate and abundant fertile farmland. The Champlain Valley contains both northern hardwood forest and also various species of oaks and hickory. It has some of the state’s most significant natural diversity and also the state’s most densely populated areas.  Extensive wetlands bordering Lake Champlain  provide outstanding habitat for waterfowl, marsh and aquatic species.  Large areas of present and former agricultural grasslands provide habitat for declining species such as bobolink, Eastern meadowlark and upland sandpiper.  Forest blocks in the southern part of this region are being shown to be important summer habitat for the Indiana bat with shagbark hickory being a favored roost tree.  The southern Champlain Valley is home to numerous rare reptiles such as the timber rattlesnake, rat snake, and five-lined skink. "]
[]
["Taconic Mountains: The slate belt of Vermont and New York is found in this region. The Taconics are dramatic wooded hills dominated by sugar maple, beech, and yellow birch forests. Dry oak and hickory forests are found on the lower elevation knolls, while spruce and fir occur at the highest elevations.  Several plants reach their Northern range limit here.  Black bear, white-tailed deer, and bobcat are among the larger mammals that use these extensive forests.  The Taconics provide good habitat for a diversity of forest songbirds, including the rare Bicknell's thrush, a bird of high elevation forests.  The springs and seeps provide excellent amphibian habitat.  Caves in this region provide winter hibernacula (hibernation sites) for bats including the federally endangered Indiana bat."]
[]
["Vermont Valley: The \"Marble\" Valley is typified by marble and limestone bedrock with glacial deposits on the valley walls and abundant springs and wetlands.  The Vermont Valley is a narrow (five miles at widest) break between two major mountain ranges: the Green and Taconic Mountains.  It is more similar to the Champlain Valley, where limestone bedrock is common, than the two mountain biophysical regions that are adjacent.  Mammals move up and down the valley along the watercourses, finding abundant food and water associated with wetlands and springs.  These features also provide excellent habitat for amphibians.  The larger wetlands are used by migratory waterfowl and many species of birds, mammals, reptiles and amphibians.    "]
[]
["Species"]
[]
["Grassland Species:  Species of concern whose habitat will be improved through this plan include grassland birds such as bobolink, savannah sparrow, and Eastern meadowlark.  For large fields (30 acres or more) species such as Northern harrier (marsh hawk), upland sandpiper and grasshopper sparrow may be found.  Where large snags are maintained for nesting, American kestrels may also use these areas.  Grassland habitats may be used by garter and green snakes or wood turtles for foraging.  Other species that are expected to benefit from this management include deer and turkey which may forage or use these areas as cover.  Grassland habitats, with flowering forbs, are important areas that also support native pollinators such as butterflies and bees.  "]
[]
["Old Field Species:  Species of concern whose habitat will be improved through this plan include old field/shrub birds such as field sparrow, brown thrasher, Eastern towhee, golden-winged warbler, blue-winged warbler, American woodcock, black-billed cuckoo and others.  These species use a variety of shrubby habitats but generally need at least 10% shrub or small tree crown cover in the field or nearby.  Other species that use these habitats include cottontails, bobcat, brown snakes, deer, turkey, grouse and various pollinators such as butterflies and bees."]
[]
["Shrub/Young Forest Species:  Species of concern whose habitat will be improved through this plan include shrub/young forest birds such as American woodcock, ruffed grouse, chestnut-sided warbler, Eastern towhee, Canada warbler, mourning warbler, golden-winged warbler, and others.  Areas of young forest or shrubland that exceed 5 acres will be of greater benefit to the more uncommon species.  Other species that use these habitats include deer, moose, turkey, bobcat, rabbits, bear, white-throated sparrows and various pollinators such as butterflies and bees.  "]
[]
["Forest Songbirds:  Species of concern whose habitat will be improved through this plan include black-throated blue warbler, Canada warbler, veery, wood thrush, eastern wood peewee, etc.  As the forest stand(s) are thinned and moved toward an uneven-aged condition, this will increase the vertical structure and vegetative layers in the forest which will provide more habitat niches for various species of forest songbirds.  These birds can be very particularl about their habitat and nesting locations.  Unacceptable growing stock (UGS) will be removed to improve the timber resource and health of the forest through a variety of silvicultural treatments.  Important wildlife trees, mast soures, softwood cover, snags and large woody debris will be maintained and enhanced.   "]
[]
["Riparian Species:  Riparian habitats are variable but some of the species of concern whose habitat could be improved through this plan include aquatic animals such as native mussels, various fish such as brook trout, aquatic invertebrates (e.g. mayflies and stoneflies), and freshwater snails .  Other target species that use aquatic and riparian upland areas include the wood turtle, salamanders (spotted and blue-spotted), otter, mink, and a number of bats.  In an increasingly fragmented landscape it is particularly important to focus upon connection of forested habitats using practices such as riparian forest buffer."]
[]
["General Wetland Species:  Wetland habitats are extremely variable but some of the species of concern whose habitat could be improved through this plan include great blue heron, Virginia rail, bittern, red-shouldered hawk, wood turtle, four-toed salamander, spotted salamander, ribbon snake, smoky shrew, mink, muskrat, wetland butterflies, various bats, and dragonflies among others.  Surrounding uplands are often important habitat to wetland species for either breeding (turtle nesting), foraging or over-wintering (salamanders underground).  "]
[]
["Vernal Pool Species:  Species of concern whose habitat will be improved or maintained through this plan may include spotted, blue-spotted, Jefferson, and four-toed salamanders, ribbon snake, wood turtle, great blue heron, masked shrew, black bear, and vernal pool dragonflies.  Other species that commonly use these habitats include wood frogs, Eastern newts, green frogs, garter snakes, and numerous aquatic invertebrates.  For mole salamanders, it is recommended to not disturb the vernal pool as well as the area 100 feet from the pool edge.  Also, limit activities within a 600 foot distance from the pool edge (e.g. for timber harvests, use only light, selective harvests in winter) as this area includes the majority of the local population that spends most of the year in the uplands and migrates to the vernal pool in spring to breed."]
[]
["Native Forest Species:  Invasive plants are negatively affecting native plant communities and forest wildlife habitat.  Invasive plants generally are poorer quality food, both for mast (fruit) and browse (leaves, stems), than native plants.  This effects all wildlife from game species like white-tailed deer and turkey to migratory songbirds and small mammals.   In some extreme cases, they may entirely displace a native forest understory that is critical habitat to many priority mature forest songbirds.  Also, invasive plants may limit or entirely eliminate options for management of the forest which in turn limits opportunities for future income, recreation and wildlife habitat improvements.  Controlling invasive plants will improve the native plant communities, improve habitat for forest wildlife and allow for future forest management and conservation.  "]
[]
["Mature Forest Species:  Forest stands and wildlife habitat will be improved through crop or mast tree release and/or forest thinnings. Releasing crowns of high value wildlife or timber trees will increase growth rates and crown size, significantly increase mast (seed and fruit) production and diameter growth.  This will benefit priority species such as ruffed grouse and bear as well as deer, turkey, fisher, fox, squirrels, small mammals and various songbirds.  Opening the forest canopy will increase sunlight to the forest floor and will stimulate development of the understory. This will increase the amount of woody browse and may improve habitat for forest songbirds that prefer to nest in the understory shrub layer. Encouraging growth and development of pole sized mast trees into larger sawtimber sized trees will also promote larger cavity trees as these species age providing nesting/denning habitat."]
[]
["Floodplain Forests:  This wetland type is usually dominated by silver maple or occasionally sugar maple, with\nabundant ostrich fern or sensitive fern. They are closely associated with river and lake floodplains and have exposed mineral soils of alluvial origin.  There are limited high quality floodplain forests left in Vermont as much was converted to agriculture because of the high fertility and lack of stones.  Restoring this natural community including associated depressions (micro and macro-topography) can provide habitat for a variety of migratory birds (e.g. wood duck) and many other species of concern including bald eagle, black duck, great blue heron, red-shouldered hawk, cerulean warbler, pied billed grebe, wood turtle, mussels, bats, brown snake, spotted salamander, mink, shrew and various invertebrates.  These and other species will be targeted through this project.  "]
[]
["Shrub Swamps:  These swamps are high value wetlands for fish and wildlife.  They occur in a variety of situations that are either too wet or too frequently disturbed to allow other trees to become established.  The alluvial shrub swamp and alder swamp are the two most common types in the state with typical woody vegetation being speckled alder, shrub willows, and dogwoods with wetland trees (black willow or red maple) under certain conditions.  Restoring this high value natural community including typical depressions (micro/macro topography) can provide habitat for a variety of priority migratory birds such as woodcock, black duck, black-billed cuckoo as well as other priority wildlife such as wood and musk turtle, various bats, mole salamanders, brown snake, ribbon snake, water snake, and water shrew.  These and other species will be targeted through this project."]
[]
["Hardwood Swamps:  This is the most common swamp type in the state.  The most common community type is the red maple-black ash seepage swamp.  Hardwood swamps provide a number of functions, including flood storage, water quality protection, and fish, wildlife, and endangered species habitat.  Open canopy conditions create a well developed understory and this combined with pit and mound topography creates an abundance of microhabitats.  Restoring this natural community and associated pit and mound features can provide habitat for a variety of priority migratory birds such as black duck, Canada warbler, great blue heron, and red-shouldered hawk as well as wood turtle, bats, masked and pygmy shrew, black bear, mole salamanders, four toed salamanders, and brown and rat snakes.  These and other species will be targeted through this project.  "]
[]
["Softwood Swamps:  These swamps are typical of the cooler/higher elevation areas of the state (except for hemlock swamps).  In general, dense shading limits understory plants but mosses are abundant above pit and mound topography and saturated peat soils.  Cedar swamps are known for calcareous bedrock and seeps (and orchids) where Spruce-Fir-Tamarack and Black Spruce Swamps are basin communities (of the northeast kingdom) where boreal species such as spruce grouse, gray jay, and black backed woodpecker are found.   Restoring this natural community and associated wetland features can provide habitat for a variety of priority migratory birds such as black duck, Canada warbler, and rusty blackbird as well as wood turtle, bog lemmings, smoky shrew, black bear, marten and various invertebrates.  These and other species will be targeted through this project.  "]
[]
["Marshes & Sedge Meadows:  These wetlands, often associated with streams/ponds/lakes, provide large natural openings and unique habitats important to a variety of wildlife.  Marshes will have shallow to deep water with a variety of emergent vegetation.   Shallow emergent, cattail and deep broadleaf marsh are common types often found in association.  Sedge meadows are often successional stages of beaver meadows that will revert to shrubs or forested wetlands.  Restoring this natural community and associated wetland features can provide habitat for a variety of priority migratory birds such as black duck, northern harrier, least bittern, sora, pied-billed grebe as well as wood turtle, Osprey, shrew, muskrat, mink, bats, mole salamanders, water snakes, musk turtle and various dragonflies/damselflies, and other invertebrates.  These and other species will be targeted through this project.  "]
[]
["Wetlands Functions/Values:  Improvements to water quality are a major focus of this project.  Past agricultural use including clearing, ditching, berms, land leveling, tiling, etc. have disrupted wetland hydrology and natural wetland vegetation.

Particulate matter may be either emitted directly (dust and smoke are examples of directly-emitted particulate matter) or formed in the atmosphere from other pollutants, such as ammonia, NOx, VOCs, and sulfur dioxide (SO2).  Agriculture does not produce significant amounts of SO2, so reducing emissions of directly-emitted particulate matter, NOx, ammonia, and VOCs from agricultural sources will help to mitigate agriculture’s contribution to concentrations of particulate matter and ozone in the ambient air.  \n\nSee the \"Agricultural Air Quality Conservation Measures Reference Guide for Cropping Systems and General Land Management\" for information about NRCS conservation practices and other activities that can be used to address air resource concerns.",null,null,null,null,null,null,null,null,null,null,null,null,null,null,null,null,null,null,null,null,null,null,null,null,null,"Guide Sheet",null,null,"Fact Sheet"]

[null,"Several Federal, State, and local laws are designed to preserve and protect cultural resources through review processes that include consultation and collaboration with mandatory consulting partners. The most important of these authorities is the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 (NHPA). Under Section 106 of the NHPA and implementing regulations (at 36 CFR Part 800), and other legislation, Federal agencies, including NRCS, are required to preserve, protect and take into account cultural resources during project and program planning.  These review processes mandate consultation and collaboration with several preservation partners and stakeholders including State Historic Preservation Officers (SHPOs),  Federally recognized American Indian tribes and their Tribal Historic Preservation Officers (THPOs), Native Hawaiian Organizations (NHOs), and other interested parties, including but not limited to local and county governments and neighbors.  \n\nNRCS also considers cultural resources in its conservation planning for the same reason it protects the natural resources — the soil, water, air, plants and animals. Keeping natural resources in balance helps provide the basis for a healthy and profitable farm environment; keeping cultural resources provides the basis for understanding our human past. The stewardship of these nonrenewable resources is an important link in the conservation ethic that underlies the NRCS mission.\n\nNRCS must consult with concerned parties (see above) to ensure that historic preservation issues and the views of the public are fully considered and the outcomes of consultation are documented.  Review your State level applicable agreement(s).\n"]

[null,"Floodplains are defined as lowlands or relatively flat areas adjoining inland or coastal waters, including at a minimum areas subject to a chance of flooding of 1 percent or greater in any given year.  The base floodplain is set equal to the 100-year floodplain (the 1-percent chance floodplain) . The critical action floodplain is defined as the 500-year floodplain (the 0.2-percent chance floodplain) where certain facilities are present, such as a school, hospital, nursing home, utility, or a facility producing volatile,  toxic, or water-reactive materials.  Floodplains may be shown on maps produced by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and on NRCS watershed plans and floodplain management studies.  Since alluvial soils are deposited by flood waters, NRCS Soil Survey information can also be useful to help identify potential floodplains with a flooding chance of 1-percent or greater in areas where FEMA floodplain maps are not available.  Floodplains normally are adjacent to a defined stream channel and have soils interpretations of Flood Frequency classes from \"Rare\" to \"Very Frequent\".  The hydrologic function of floodplains depends on periodic flooding, or on high groundwater conditions provided by high stream discharges.  The “Rare” frequency class represents the range of the 100-year to 20-year floodplain (1 to 5 percent chance floodplain).",null,null,null,null,null,null,null,null,null,null,null,null,null,null,null,null,null,null,null,null,null,null,"Guide Sheet",null,null,"Fact Sheet"]

[null,"Landform  refers to the shape of the land (topography, slope, and aspect) and seems to be the most noticeable element, particularly as it relates to the horizon.  For example, the horizontal nature of crop landscapes makes them especially sensitive to the presence of vertical elements, such as streamside vegetation, shelterbelt trees, farmstead structures and utility poles.  When agricultural activities, such as tree rows and fences are aligned with the topography, they emphasize and enhance landform. In flat or rolling areas, the horizon line is the most conspicuous landscape element.\n\nWater can add to aesthetic quality, modify temperatures, serve as a buffer between use areas, and direct attention from undesirable views.  Its characteristics are gurgling, rushing, spurting, falling, calm or placid. Its shape also adds value to the landscape.\n\nVegetation includes agricultural crops, which can vary widely in size, form, color, texture, and planting pattern.  Shelterbelt and riparian trees are visually significant in landscapes where low crops or pastures are present. Row crops create visually strong lines to the viewer on the ground or from the air, so any curved pattern that is located among the straight lines will be prominent.\n\nStructures evoke the most obvious and descriptive mental images of \"countryside\".  Farmhouses, barns, silos, wooden fences, stone walls, windmills and two-lane roads are some of the agriculturally related structures that fulfill our romantic notion of countryside.  \n",null,null,null,null,null,null,null,null,null,null,null,null,null,null,null,null,null,null,null,null,null,null,"Riparian Area"]

Pruning should allow more sunlight into the canopy but no more than one third of the apple trees canopy should be removed in a single year. Apple tree pruning should take place after the danger of severe cold has passed, but before bud swell and break in the spring (late winter to early spring).
