Land Use Activities. The following land use activities may result in incidental take of covered species under this Landowner Agreement: [Described land use activities that are anticipated to take place on the enrolled lands, as discussed in Section 8.4, Land Use Activities, of the SHA/CCAA Agreement.]
Land Use Activities. The habitat management actions agreed to in each Landowner Agreement are site-specific and determined on a case-by-case basis between KDWP and the Cooperator. Examples of habitat maintenance and management actions that could be implemented on an enrolled property include, but are not limited to, the following actions. • Stream buffer establishment and enhancement. • Installation and maintenance of erosion and pollution control measures (e.g., installation of fencing to restrict grazing, noncultivated buffers between cultivated land and aquatic habitat). • Cessation, reduction, or modification of land use practices such as pesticide application, animal or vehicle activity in streamside areas, or ground disturbance (e.g., grading, building, mowing, disking). • Capture and treatment of stormwater or other runoff to improve water quality of receiving aquatic habitat. • Passage improvement projects for covered species that have minor or negligible effects on the human environment.10 • Screening of water diversions. • Minimize or avoid disturbance to covered species habitat, particularly at certain times of the year (e.g., spawning or nesting season). KDWP and the Cooperator agree on the habitat management actions to be implemented on the property, those actions will be described in the Landowner Agreement.
Land Use Activities. Land use activities are those property-specific activities implemented routinely on enrolled lands as part of the legal use of the enrolled or neighboring property. The land use activities agreed to in each Landowner Agreement are site specific and determined on a case-by-case basis between KDWP and the Cooperator. Land use activities, for example, may support farming, ranching, and forestry, and the construction and use of small to medium-sized structures in support of the primary land use activity, on the enrolled lands (see Section 5.0, Landowner Agreement and Certificates of Inclusion, for a description of how enrolled lands would be identified and described for each Cooperator). Land use activities covered by the Agreement include: 10 As with all covered activities in this SHA/CCAA Agreement, passage improvement projects included as habitat management actions in this SHA/CCAA Agreement must qualify for the Categorical Exclusion used for National Environmental Policy Act compliance for this SHA/CCAA Agreement. See Section 25.0, National Environmental Policy Act Compliance, for details. • Ground and vegetation disturbance activities such as tilling, overland travel by vehicles, crop harvest and bailing, vehicle and structure repair, ground disturbance by livestock, harvest and bailing of crops, creating fire breaks, and tree removal. • In-stream disturbance activities such as water diversions, in-stream impoundments, and streamside access points for recreation or livestock access. The frequency of land use activities on forestry lands is generally low. Some infrequent on-road or off-road vehicle traffic and potentially some clearing and grubbing may be associated with understory maintenance. Ground disturbance may be associated with the creation of fire breaks; as with farming and ranching, there may be the occasional need for construction of support buildings. Timber harvest activities, though they occur infrequently, require the use of large equipment and may involve substantial ground disturbance. The Cooperator and KDWP, in coordination on the development of the Landowner Agreement, will work together to evaluate land use activities and the compatibility with covered species conservation. In addition, the Cooperator and KDWP will follow the evaluation process in Appendix E to identify additional measures that might be necessary to minimize or avoid impacts to non-covered federally listed species. Due to the magnitude of ground disturbance associated...
Land Use Activities consistent with Joint Management Plan
Land Use Activities. Residential, municipal, commercial, industrial, agricultural and natural activities occurring on the land surface. Each New England State Wellhead Protection Program provides guidance on the types of land use activities that should be inventoried as potential sources of contamination to ground water (see Table 1).
