52 MANAGER'S GUIDE TO THE INTEGRATED ECOLOGICAL FRAMEWORK Changes to Substeps Minor changes were made to Substeps 2e, 2f, and 2g. Substep 2e Original Substep 2e Produce geospatial overlays of data and plans outlined above, as well as supporting priorities, to guide the development of an overall conservation strategy for the planning region that identifies conservation priorities and opportunities, and evaluates stressors and opportunities for mitigation and restoration.

53 MANAGER'S GUIDE TO THE INTEGRATED ECOLOGICAL FRAMEWORK Updated Substep 2g Document the REF objectives, decisions, and methods based on stakeholder input and the technical and scientific methods used in Substeps 2a–2f. Document formats should be suitable for GIS metadata, formal reporting, and outreach to support use, updating, and external products.

56 MANAGER'S GUIDE TO THE INTEGRATED ECOLOGICAL FRAMEWORK Updated Substep 4c Create the REIDF by combining the REF (from Step 2) with the scenarios from Step 3 to identify which priority areas or resources would be affected and the nature of the effect (e.g., negative, neutral, beneficial)

57 MANAGER'S GUIDE TO THE INTEGRATED ECOLOGICAL FRAMEWORK Summary of Substep 4e Changes The comparison and selection of scenarios is outlined in Substep 4d, so the focus of this step is on the process of identifying mitigation needs based on knowing what the impacts of the selected scenario will be. Substep 4f Original Substep 4f Identify mitigation needs for impacts that are unavoidable and that may require minimization through project design/implementation/maintenance, and that may require off-site mitigation.

58 MANAGER'S GUIDE TO THE INTEGRATED ECOLOGICAL FRAMEWORK Changes to Substeps Substep 5b Original Substep 5b Select potential mitigation areas according to the ranking protocols previously described. Updated Substep 5b Select potential mitigation areas according to the ranking protocols described in Substep 5a.

59 MANAGER'S GUIDE TO THE INTEGRATED ECOLOGICAL FRAMEWORK Summary of Substep 5e Changes Substeps 5b, 5c, and 5d are all processes that support and include the creation of areas that can potentially contribute to mitigation goals, so the original Substep 5e was redundant. Thus the original Substep 5e was deleted, and Substep 5f became 5e.

60 MANAGER'S GUIDE TO THE INTEGRATED ECOLOGICAL FRAMEWORK Summary of Changes A few minor editorial changes were made to Step 7 to add clarity, but one substantive change to Substep 7a led to the addition of a new substep (7e)

62 MANAGER'S GUIDE TO THE INTEGRATED ECOLOGICAL FRAMEWORK Summary of Substep 9b Changes This substep was changed to focus on environmental conservation updates only, and in addition the phrase "in collaboration with stakeholders" was taken out since this substep would likely not include all IEF stakeholders. Instead it would include stakeholders and others directly involved in developing conservation and natural resource data, goals, and plans.
