Other Management Activities. These management activities relate to the ranching and business activities at Swallow Creek Ranch. The Landowner would be covered in this Agreement for activities associated with the continued use of the Enrolled Property for ranching, group events, and maintenance; provided these activities would not reduce the Landowner’s ability to maintain the Baseline conditions. The Landowner’s ranching and business activities would be conducted in a way that would not interfere with the implementation of the Beneficial Management Activities described above. The Landowner would be covered in this Agreement for the following activities. Ranching and associated activities within and outside of the fenced areas, as the Enrolled Property is used primarily as a natural grass-fed cattle ranch. Ranching and associated activities are covered provided the relevant avoidance and minimization measures below are followed. Swallow Creek Ranch hosts occasional group events, such as gatherings for non-profit groups and educational field trips for schools. The Landowner plans to host wedding events, primarily during the summer months (May 1 through October 31). Additional maintenance related activities covered in this Agreement include: Grading and re-contouring of the existing access roads within the Enrolled Property, as needed for road maintenance and fire access purposes; Fence maintenance; Fire clearance, as required by the County of San Xxxx Obispo; Clearing of debris from the manmade pond and Swallow Creek in coordination with the Service, as needed for maintenance purposes; Clearing and maintenance of culverts in coordination with the Service; and Draining the manmade pond in coordination with the Service, as needed for maintenance purposes. Avoidance and Minimization Measures The Landowner agrees to implement the following avoidance and minimization measures. All cattle will only cross Swallow Creek at a designated area that is fenced and cattle access to the crossing will be controlled. Cattle will not be permitted uncontrolled access within the fenced areas around the manmade pond and Swallow Creek. Any cattle access within the fenced area around the manmade pond will be for a brief period for the purpose of providing water to cattle and/or, controlling the growth of emergent vegetation and grasses around the pond. Grazing emergent vegetation will not occur from December through April to avoid the California red-legged breeding season (the time whe...
Other Management Activities. Nothing in this Agreement prevents the Cooperator from implementing land management activities not described in this CA, including improving habitat for Oregon chub, as long as (1) the Cooperator has consulted with the ODFW prior to implementation, and (2) such activities maintain the baseline conditions or enhance off-channel or floodplain habitat conditions, and do not adversely affect the beneficial actions set forth in this CA.
Other Management Activities. These management activities relate to activities associated with the continued use of the Enrolled Property for cultural activities, ongoing activities, and activities associated with the maintenance and the management of the COSA for other purposes and activities not specific to conservation and recovery of the Xxxxx pupfish. The Tribe would be covered for these activities provided these activities would not reduce the Tribe’s ability to maintain the elevated Baseline conditions. These activities would be conducted in a way that would not interfere with the implementation of the beneficial activities described above. The Tribe would be covered in this Agreement for the following activities; provided such activities are consistent with the intent of this Agreement and are not contrary to the beneficial activities in this Agreement. • Cultural and ceremonial activities. • Cattle grazing and associated activities. • Operation, management, and maintenance of the water supply and drainage system. • Maintenance and associated activities, including: maintenance of boardwalks and walking trails; maintenance of kiosks and interpretive signs; fence installation and maintenance; fuel reduction and fire clearance activities; dredging or removal of sediment from the ponds; and clearing of vegetation within and around ponds. • Management of the Enrolled Property for conservation of native species (i.e., invasive species control and native species restoration).
Other Management Activities. These management activities relate to activities associated with the continued use of the Enrolled Property for park, open space, natural resource conservation, and recreation, provided these activities would not reduce DPR’s ability to maintain the Baseline conditions. DPR’s park maintenance, trail construction, and park, open space, and natural resource conservation activities would be conducted in a way that would not interfere with the implementation of the Beneficial Management Activities described in Section 5.1. DPR would be covered in this Agreement for the following activities, provided such activities are consistent with the intent of this Agreement and are not contrary to the beneficial activities in this Agreement. • Maintenance and associated activities, including: creation, closure, and maintenance of trails associated with recreational activities such as hiking; fence installation and maintenance; and fire clearance, as required by the County of Monterey and/or the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CalFire). • Management of the Enrolled Property for park, open space, and natural resources conservation. • Visitor use, recreation, and associated activities, such as hiking on trails. Public access to the Enrolled Property is currently limited to pedestrians. • Development of coastal trails as part of the DPR coastal trail improvement project, which specifies the closure of 3.7 miles of non-system trails and designation of 3.0 miles of trail as Class I or II coastal trail and 0.9 mile of Class III or IV trail (DPR 2012, Coastal Development Permit from Monterey County, dated September 11, 2013). Most of both the trails that would be developed and those that would be closed occur within areas supporting seacliff buckwheat. Trail closure, coupled with habitat restoration that specifies the establishment of additional seacliff buckwheat plants, would result in the net gain of seacliff buckwheat and thus, an increase in habitat for the Xxxxx’x blue butterfly. Assuming on average that a 2-foot wide trail bed area is restored, the project could result in a gain of 1 acre of habitat supporting seacliff buckwheat, which coincides with a 1-acre increase in habitat for the Xxxxx'x blue butterfly in addition to the Baseline area for the species.
Other Management Activities. Additional Management Activities include activities that could occur in the Core Area and activities that could occur outside of the Core Area within the Enrolled Property.
Other Management Activities. Additional management activities would include recreational, educational, and research activities and the continued public use of the Enrolled Properties. Specific activities include: • Other habitat restoration activities including trash removal, graffiti removal, invasive weed and animal removal, native plantings. • Retiring, maintaining, improving, and creating trails and roads. • Maintaining and improving existing facilities, or creating new facilities such as campgrounds and/or parking lots in previously developed areas, as needed to meet CDPR’s mission. • Law enforcement and emergency response including patrols, incident response, human or fish/wildlife injury, search and rescue of lost visitors, removal and restoration of marijuana grow sites, and vehicular wreckage, etc. • Remedial erosion and flooding management. • Limited sampling for research activities, including archaeological investigations and cultural site protection projects. • Recreational activities on approved trails or areas that would include hiking, horseback riding, bicycling, camping, and picnicking activities. • Fuel modification activities around existing buildings and fire roads. • Interpretive/educational events, but not within 0.5 mile of translocation or occupied sites, unless within developed areas. • Filming or special use events (weddings, races, etc.), but not within 0.5 mile of translocation and occupied sites, unless within defined developed area.
