F e de ra l L a nd in the Distric t • Almost 30% land federal • Phase 6 Model enables planning, tracking by agency • Maj or agencies: – National Park S ervice – Department of Defense – General S ervices Administration – Agricultural Research S ervice – S mithsonian • EP A oversight of federal agencies and j urisdictions 6
I de ntifying F e de ra l L a nds • Federal agencies defined their areas and land uses using Federal Facility Editing Tool in 2013 o Federal agencies will be able to amend this information for the 2019 Progress run (i.e., the 7/ 1/ 2018– 6/ 30/ 2019 reporting period) • This area and corresponding land uses were initially used in distributing planning target across the j urisdictions
Method to Devel op F eder al Agenc y Goal s Identify federal lands in district (CBP) Take DC’s planning target and set aside wastewater loads Distribute remaining load among nonfederal land, major federal agencies, and other federal using same principles as setting planning targets By Agnost icPreachersKid Keep “other federal” at 2010 No Action because model lacks capacity to plan at this scale Remove additional climate pounds from nonfederal Work with stakeholders to meet local planning goals NPS photo 8
