This Candidate Conservation Agreement (CCA) for the LPC and the SDL represents a collaborative effort between the FWS, the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), and the Center of Excellence for Hazardous Materials Management (CEHMM). The CCA builds upon the BLMs “Special Status Species Resource Management Plan Amendment” (RMPA) (completed in April 2008) for southeast New Mexico. The RMPA established the foundational requirements that will be applied to all future Federal activities, regardless of whether a permittee or lessee participates in this CCA. The strength of the CCA comes from the implementation of additional conservation measures that are additive, or above and beyond those foundational requirements established in the RMPA.
