Type of Take Sample Clauses

Type of Take. Topminnow and pupfish may not be “taken” except as defined in section 8 of the Safe Harbor Agreement.

Type of Take. Incidental take could occur as a result of many activities under agricultural use of the land (farm and ranch operations), recreation, oil and gas production, and surface/in-situ mining. The implementation of the Agreement is intended to avoid and minimize the sources of incidental take from these activities and reduce the threats to the covered species. Incidental take could occur as a result of grazing, brush removal, or other management practices that modify suitable habitat to an extent that successful reproductive and recruitment activities by the covered species are impaired or eliminated (e.g., fragmentation, conversion or loss of existing habitat through inappropriate siting of roads, fences, pipelines, energy facilities, and subdivisions; inappropriate reclamation; inadequate control of invasive species and of wildfire in sagebrush habitat; inappropriate livestock grazing and wildlife management; etc.). Incidental take could also occur through direct mortality (e.g., stock tanks with no wildlife escape ramps; collisions with barbed-wire fences and power lines; machinery operations associated with haying, topsoil stripping, drilling, blasting, etc.; collisions with vehicles (both on- and off-road); trampling of nests by livestock; etc.).
