2. Measurable: a state level quantification of the mitigation opportunity and the degree to which it is verifiable;

3. Achievable: a farm financial savings or financial support necessary to implement the mitigation practice;

4. Realistic: ease or difficulty in implementation (e.g. number of stakeholders/acres needed to be engaged);

5. Time Frame: the time scale over which the mitigation would occur and the degree to which the mitigation is permanent or reversible.
