... Each potential site identified by DU is visited by a DU biologist. For each habitat project considered, an evaluation identifies the following: · Type of habitat and acreage involved; · Waterfowl and other wetland wildlife species expected to benefit; · Type of development and enhancement activities; · Long-term management objectives as well as operations and management techniques to be used; · Biological considerations, e.g., average water depth to be maintained, plant types and distribution, proximity of nesting cover to the wetland, anticipated nesting success, surrounding land use, waterfowl abundance, probability of disease outbreaks, uniqueness of habitat, importance to endangered species, and frequency of hunting in the area; · Public relations values, including proximity to population centers, importance to members, and potential for fundraising; · Other considerations, such as cost effectiveness, conformance with NAWMP, and cooperators in the project; · Estimated cost, sources of funding, type of acquisition, and term of agreement if fee-simple acquisition is not involved.
