Appendix E: RONS and MMS Appendix E: RONS and MMS The Refuge Operations Needs System (RONS) lists refuge projects over $20,000. The Management Maintenance System (MMS) identifies maintenace needs on refuges. Projects on both lists are prioritized and initated as funding becomes available. Funding is allocated through the Service’s Northeast Regional Office and is based on Congressional appropriation to the service. Project: this list includes projects currently in the RONS database and projects proposed in the CCP. FTE: full time staffing equivalent. One fte equals one person working full time for one whole year; seasonal employees are considered 0.5 fte. (note: staff are often “shared” by multiple rons projects) Cost, year 1: estimated costs incurred during the first year of a project - typically higher than recurring costs, due to construction, equipment purchase, or other start-up expenses. Cost, recurring: estimated average annual project cost for subsequent years; includes recurring salary and maintenance costs. Project duration: estimated length of time for each project. Since this CCP will be revised in 15 years, the “maximum project duration” is 15 years, even though some projects may continue into the next planning cycle Table E-1: Projects Currently in the RONS Database and Proposed Projects to be included for Assabet River NWR Project FTE Startup cost Oversee refuge management, planning, programs, administration and maintenance Provide wildlife and habitat management planning, implementation, and evaluation Collect essential biological data to efficiently manage the refuge Develop and implement a forestry management plan Provide planning and implementation of wildlife-dependent public use programs GS 11 Refuge Ops.
