Action Plan Items Related to EII Site Scores - Fiscal Year 2006

The Environmental Integrity Index (EII) was used to identify creek reaches with at least a 13% decrease in environmental health in using data collected in 2006 compared to initial conditions sampled in 1996 (phase I watersheds). City of Austin teams with the potential to reverse the recent degradation in five problem areas (aquatic life, habitat, nutrients plus bacteria, nutrients alone, and litter) through structural and non-structural BMPs were identified. Primary and secondary problem reach lists are provided for the teams.
