Common use of Alternative B – No Action‌ Clause in Contracts

Alternative B – No Action‌. Under the No Action Alternative the proposed UCFRB CREP Agreement would not be implemented. Lands that would have been eligible for enrollment would remain in agricultural production. The continued use of land for agriculture or the conversion of land to another type of agricultural production would continue to have negative impacts on threatened, endangered, and sensitive species by reducing or degrading available habitat and degrading water quality through the runoff of agricultural chemicals, animal wastes, and sediment, threatening aquatic species.

Alternative B – No Action‌. Under the No Action Alternative the proposed UCFRB CREP Agreement would not be implemented. Lands that would have been eligible for enrollment would remain in agricultural production. The continued use of land for agriculture or the conversion of land to another type of agricultural production would continue reduce vegetative diversity, increasing susceptibility to have negative impacts on threatenedinvasion by exotic species, endangered, and sensitive species by thus reducing or degrading available habitat and degrading water quality through the wildlife habitat. The runoff of agricultural chemicals, animal wastes, and sedimentsediment would continue to degrade water quality, threatening aquatic speciesbiodiversity.

Alternative B – No Action‌. Under the No Action Alternative the proposed UCFRB CREP Agreement would not be implemented. Lands that would have been eligible for enrollment would remain in agricultural production. The continued use of land for agriculture or the conversion of land to another type of agricultural production would continue reduce wildlife habitat by removing native species and increasing susceptibility to have negative impacts on threatened, endangered, and sensitive species invasion by reducing or degrading available habitat and degrading water quality through the exotic species. The runoff of agricultural chemicals, animal wastes, and sedimentsediment would continue to degrade water quality, threatening aquatic speciesbiodiversity.
