Common use of State Assurances Clause in Contracts

State Assurances. Except for the provisions in Section 15.5, provided Permittees are implementing the terms and conditions of the MSHCP, this Agreement and the Permits, if there are Unforeseen Circumstances, CDFG shall not require additional land, water or financial compensation or additional restrictions on the use of land, water or other natural resources for the life of the NCCP Permit without the consent of the Permittees, unless CDFG determines that continued implementation of this Agreement, the MSHCP, and/or the Permits would jeopardize the continued existence of a Covered Species, or as required by law and would therefore lead to NCCP Permit revocation or suspension. The Parties acknowledge that, notwithstanding the assurances provided by this Section, future modifications to mitigation that are specifically contemplated under the MSHCP and this Agreement may require adjustments in the mitigation set forth in the MSHCP as of the Effective Date, including, but not limited to, Take minimization measures and MSHCP Reserve System management. Such changes are part of the MSHCP's operating Conservation program and are not precluded by the assurances provided in this Section. In particular, this Section shall not be construed to diminish the obligation of the Permittees, Third Parties Granted Take Authorization or Participating Special Entities to undertake mitigation actions in response to Changed Circumstances and to revise mitigation measures under the Management Program. However, CDFG acknowledges that neither the Management Program, nor the MSHCP's provisions concerning Changed Circumstances, are intended to require modifications to the MSHCP's mitigation program that would require additional funding nor to impose significant additional burdens on Permittees, discretionary approvals issued by Permittees, or on Participating Special Entities with respect to Take minimization measures.
