While this section lists many possible conservation measures for each management action, all possible measures can not be anticipated. Each cooperator will not be expected to implement the full set of measures. The conservation measures to be implemented will be specific to each individual\u2019s baseline, habitat conditions, and management needs. Conservation measures implemented by the landowner to manage livestock grazing to meet a desired habitat goal may contain the following elements: control of stocking rates (Number/density of animals per unit area), manipulation of grazing season, and/or changes in duration, frequency and livestock types. Other measures may include livestock exclusion fencing, off-site water development and herding strategies. Private landowners actively farming to produce an agricultural crop will have the opportunity to implement a multitude of conservation measures to improve habitat conditions for LCT. Agricultural conservation measures could include crop selection, establishment of riparian buffer zones, and fertilizer and land disturbance (plowing and tilling) management. Manipulations in flow diversion timing, duration, and volume may be implemented as well as runoff minimization practices. These grazing and agricultural mitigation measures may be utilized to minimize sediment production, algae blooms, water temperature increases, and water quality degradation, as well as to provide for increases in stream flows and improvements in riparian habitat conditions. Several additional conservation measures that may be implemented include road or trail management (including improved crossings or fish passage structures), riparian vegetation plantings, rehabilitation projects, and stream habitat improvement projects. Other options may exist that are not apparent until a willing landowner and biologist have the opportunity to exchange ideas. The overall goal is to produce conservation measures that are mutually beneficial to the cooperator and the long-term existence of LCT.

conserving, and reducing and/or eliminating threats to the LPC and SDL. These approaches and strategies are based on ecological and biological principles to ensure a long-term approach to the protection and management of the LPC and SDL. Therefore, the ultimate goal of this CCA is to facilitate conservation of the LPC and SDL in southeastern New Mexico. For example, Participating Cooperators can agree to protect and enhance existing populations and habitats, restore degraded habitat, create new habitat, augment existing populations of LPC, restore historic populations, fund research studies, or undertake other activities on their Federal leases/allotments which improve the status of the LPC and SDL. The management activities included in this CCA should reduce and/or eliminate threats to the species. Each CP will be negotiated on a case-by-case basis where Participating Cooperators will contribute funds to accomplish conservation measures above and beyond those required in the RMPA, and implement agreed upon conservation measures on the enrolled property. While it is not necessary to conduct all conservation measures listed below on every property enrolled under this CCA, approved conservation measures will be undertaken as necessary to reduce and/or eliminate a particular threat (See Appendix E). CEHMM, in coordination with the FWS and BLM, may use contributed funds to conduct conservation measures on non-Federal lands (private or State) if those landowners agree, in writing through the CCAA, to allow the implementation of the specified conservation measures on their lands. The goal is to implement the highest priority conservation measures needed (regardless of land ownership) to reduce and/or eliminate threats to both species, as determined by the FWS, BLM, and NMDGF with input by CEHMM. As new information or empirical data becomes available, conservation measures can be modified or added through adaptive management to achieve greater species conservation. Conservation measures to benefit the LPC include, but are not limited to: improving habitat and increasing populations by coordinating vegetation treatments with ongoing activities, decreasing habitat fragmentation, propagating and releasing and/or translocating individuals, and conducting research conducive to adaptive management of the LPC. Measures to benefit the SDL include, but are not limited to: preventing further habitat fragmentation and conducting research conducive to adaptive management of the SDL. The specifics of the conservation measures aimed at benefitting the LPC and SDL are listed below. In order to ensure conservation measures provide the greatest possible benefit, and ultimately are sufficient to reduce extinction risk to acceptable levels, using funds provided by Participating Cooperators, a Population Viability Analysis (PVA) will be undertaken for both the SDL and LPC in New Mexico and contiguous areas of western Texas. PVA is a mathematical modeling and simulation process using the best available demographic and distributional information that allows for the comparison of extinction risk under a variety of different future scenarios. The PVA will allow managers to evaluate the relative value of different suites of conservation actions in reducing extinction risk. The PVA will be an invaluable tool for optimizing the use of conservation funds generated through the CCA, and will play a key role in annual and long-term planning of CCA conservation activities aimed at reducing and/or eliminating threats to the LPC and/or SDL. Prior to the completion of the PVA for these species, conservation measures will be developed by FWS, BLM, NMDGF, and other cooperating agencies. The Strategy will guide the development of these conservation measures. The results of biological monitoring combined with compliance monitoring will be used to evaluate the effectiveness of the conservation measures. The results of the PVA will be added to this information to evaluate the effectiveness of conservation measures and the emphasis place on various conservation strategies with in an adaptive management frame work. In April of 2008, BLM completed the Special Status Species Resource Management Plan Amendment for southeast New Mexico. The RMPA established foundational requirements to be applied to all future activities for Federal surface and Federal minerals (including private surface used for Federal mineral development). Regardless of whether a permittee or lessee participates in this CCA, these RMPA foundational requirements will be applied to all activities requiring Federal authorization within the RMPA area (refer to Appendix D). While these RMPA requirements make up the foundation of protection provided to habitat for the LPC and SDL, the strength of the CCA comes from implementing additional conservation measures that are additive, or above and beyond those in the RMPA. Participating Cooperators will implement the following types of conservation actions. The following is a suite of conservation measures that can be applied to enrolled properties (as applicable to a Participating Cooperators\u2019 enrolled property) in addition to the foundational requirements established in the RMPA:\n1. Establish Plans of Development for enrolled properties.\n2. Remove caliche pads and roads on legacy \u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587 where there is no responsible party.\n3. Construct all infrastructures supporting the development of a well (including roads, power lines, and pipelines) within the same corridor.\n4. Construct new infrastructures in locations which avoid occupied and suitable LPC habitat.\n5. Bury new distribution power lines that are planned within 2 miles of occupied LPC habitat (measured from the lek).\n6. Minimize total new surface disturbance by utilizing alternative techniques such as co- locating \u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587, directional drilling, and interim reclamation of drill pads to minimum area necessary to operate the well.\n7. Provide escape ramps in all open water sources.\n8. Install fence markers along fences that cross through occupied habitat within 2 miles of an active lek.\n9. Design grazing management plans to meet habitat specific goals for individual ranches that may include stocking rates, rotation patterns, grazing intensity and duration, and contingency plans for varying prolonged weather patterns including drought.\n10. Remove mesquite vegetation that invades into the soils preferred by LPC. Participating Cooperators will implement the following types of conservation actions. The following is a suite of conservation measures that can be applied to enrolled properties (as applicable to a Participating Cooperators\u2019 enrolled property) in addition to the foundational requirements established in the RMPA:\n1. Allow no surface occupancy within 200 meters of areas designated as occupied or suitable, unoccupied dune complexes or within delineated shinnery oak corridors. These complexes will be determined by FWS, BLM, and NMDGF biologists or their designee within the known geographic range of the SDL. These areas will be determined at a landscape scale rather than a dune-by-dune scale and will also delineate corridors for movement between occupied and suitable dune complexes.\n2. Remove caliche pads and roads on legacy \u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587 where there is no responsible party.\n3. Route and construct new roads, buried pipelines, and power lines outside of occupied and suitable shinnery dune complexes as delineated by FWS and BLM.\n4. Limit seismic exploration to areas outside of occupied and suitable shinnery dune complexes as delineated by the FWS and BLM.\n5. Establish Plans of Development for enrolled properties.\n6. Submit a predetermined schedule for pipeline and facility maintenance to ensure proper functioning equipment in sensitive habitats to avoid potential accidental pollution events.\n7. Prohibit tebuthiuron spraying within 500 m of suitable and occupied habitat (dune complexes) or within corridors that connect dune complexes that are within 2000 m from each other.\n8. Prohibit OHV traffic within occupied or suitable dune complexes by signing and closing roads.\n9.
