Prior to beginning work, submit an itemized and costed workplan by FMSS Location per ATC Region in a mutually agreed upon format. Workplans to including: site information, dates, field tasks, and expected measurable results. 3. Administer the boundary maintenance program, including project planning, administration, oversight, staff and volunteer recruitment, training development, and reporting. 4.

Provide leadership to volunteers in the mitigation and resolution of minor and moderate encroachments and assist NPS in mitigation and resolution of major encroachments. 9. In cooperation with NPS, evaluate options for the development of a comprehensive system to manage boundary monitoring and maintenance data.
