RCW Surveys Sample Clauses

RCW Surveys. Unless all Parties have previously agreed upon the Cooperator’s baseline, a baseline survey will be conducted prior to signing the SHMA to inventory all existing RCW groups to establish baseline responsibilities. The survey will only include RCWs, unless the Cooperator specifically requests other species to be surveyed. The Cooperator will be responsible for any costs associated with surveys (baseline or supplemental). The results of the surveys shall be the property of the Cooperator and shall be used only at the Cooperator’s discretion. However, no SHMA will be signed until the baseline survey is reviewed and approved by ADCNR-WFF. Supplemental surveys as specified in Section C that are required prior to activities that may result in incidental take must be submitted to ADCNR-WFF at least sixty (60) days prior to commencing such activities. 2The Cooperator will be required to describe the nature, extent, timing, and other pertinent details of the conservation measures that he/she will voluntarily undertake to provide a net conservation benefit, including a schedule for implementation of the conservation measures. The Cooperator will also describe how the conservation measures will benefit the RCW. The first step in determining the baseline conditions is to determine if suitable RCW habitat exists on the landowner’s property or if a known RCW group exists within one-half-mile of the property (landowner knowledge and the ALNHP database will be used to determine the distance to known sites). Suitable foraging habitat consists of pine or pine-hardwood (50 percent or more pine) stands 30 years of age or older (USFWS 2003). If this type of habitat is not present, and there are no RCW groups within one-half-mile of the property, further assessment is not necessary, and the landowner’s baseline will be zero. If a RCW group exists within one-half-mile of the landowner’s property and the landowner has the responsibility of maintaining a portion of the foraging habitat for the RCW cluster, as required by the RCW Recovery Plan, 2nd Revision (USFWS 2003) that portion of the foraging habitat will be incorporated into the landowner’s baseline. RCWs select and require old-growth pines for cavity excavation. If suitable nesting habitat is present, the landowner will determine if RCW groups exist on their property. The landowner will conduct surveys for cavity trees in stands that contain suitable nesting habitat. The RCW Recovery Plan, 2nd Revision (USFWS 2003) identifie...

RCW Surveys. Unless all Parties have previously agreed upon the Property Owner’s baseline3, a baseline survey will be conducted by the Property Owner within one (1) year prior to the SHMA to inventory all existing groups to establish baseline responsibilities. Surveys for RCWs will follow the protocol described below. The survey will only include RCWs, unless the Property Owner specifically requests other species to be surveyed. Accurate surveys are essential for determining baseline conditions. To limit undetected cavity trees and misjudged activity status, qualified personnel should be used to conduct baseline surveys. Baseline numbers are subject to approval by the Commission and the Service. The Property Owner is responsible for any costs associated with surveys (baseline or supplemental). The results of the surveys done shall be the property of the Property Owner and shall be used only at the Property Owner’s discretion. However, no SHMA will be signed until the baseline survey is reviewed and approved by the Commission. Supplemental surveys as specified in Section IV.C that are required prior to activities that may result in incidental take must be submitted to the Commission at least 60 days prior to commencing such activities. The Property Owners shall identify how the baseline was determined, when and how the baseline surveys were conducted, or if the baseline was established based on already-known information or other factors. Potential nesting habitat (pines greater than or equal to 60 years old) is surveyed by running line transects through stands and visually inspecting all medium –sized and large pines for evidence of cavity excavation by RCWs. Transects must be spaced so that all trees are inspected. Necessary spacing will vary with habitat structure and season from a maximum of 100 yards between transects in very open pine stands to 50 yards or less in areas with dense midstory. Transects are run north-south, because many cavity entrances are oriented in a westerly direction (USFWS 2003). When cavity trees are found, their location is recorded in the field using a Global Positioning System unit, aerial photograph, and/or field map. Activity status, cavity stage (start, advanced start, or complete cavity), and any entrance enlargement are assessed and recorded at this time. If cavity trees are found, more intense surveying within 1500 feet of each cavity tree is conducted to locate all cavity trees in the area. Cavity trees are later assigned into cluste...
