Alternatives Considered. The FESA requires that HCPs identify alternatives to the proposed taking and explain why such alternatives were not selected. A broad range of impact avoidance, mitigation, and conservation strategies were proposed and considered in the course of preparing this Plan, including variations on the LTSY projections and HCP strategies. Four primary alternatives are summarized here: Take Avoidance; Selective Harvest; Expanded (61,000-acre) Headwaters Reserve; and Higher Midterm Timber Production.
