Covered Species. The species covered by this 2020 DSL CCAA is the Dunes Sagebrush Lizard (Sceloporus arenicolus) (DSL).
Covered Species. The Covered Species in the 2020 DSL CCAA is the DSL, a small, brown lizard with a maximum body length of 2.9 inches for males and 2.5 inches for females (Xxxxxxxxxx et al. 2011). The Covered Species is endemic to the ecosystems of the Mescalero Sands of New Mexico and Monahans Sandhills of Texas, the latter of which occurs in the Covered Area (Xxxxxx 1988; Xxxxxxxxxx and Xxxxx 1972; Xxxxxxxxxx et al.
Covered Species. Covered species are those federally listed species that are subject to a Safe Harbor Agreement and accompanying 10(a)(1)(A) Enhancement of Survival Permit, as defined in the Service’s final Safe Harbor Policy (64 FR 32717). This Agreement’s covered species is the black-footed ferret, federally listed as endangered.
Covered Species. This Agreement covers the Fender’s blue butterfly, a federally-listed endangered species, hereafter referred to as the “covered species” or “butterfly.” The Fender’s blue butterfly is closely associated with Xxxxxxx’x lupine, a federally-listed as threatened plant. Activities are encouraged to benefit both species under this Agreement.
Covered Species. Species covered by this CCAA include the Texas Hornshell (Popenaias popeii), Rio Grande River Cooter (Pseudemys gorzugi), Gray Redhorse (Moxostoma congestum), Blue Sucker (Cycleptus elongatus), and Pecos Springsnail (Pyrgulopsis pecosensis).
Covered Species. The Lahontan cutthroat trout (Oncorhynchus clarki henshawi), federally listed as threatened under the Endangered Species Act, is considered the “covered species” for purposes of this Agreement. Lahontan cutthroat trout (Oncorhynchus clarki henshawi) is the only salmonid native to the Lahontan basin. Lahontan cutthroat trout were once distributed throughout the basin and drainages of ancient Lake Lahontan but currently within the Northwest Geographic Management Unit are limited to small populations in the isolated headwaters of streams in mountain ranges in Nevada and southeast Oregon. Settlement of the Great Basin resulted in the loss of Lahontan cutthroat trout habitat as livestock grazing, urban and mining development, water diversions, hybridization, and competition with non- native trout led to significant declines in the range and numbers of this unique trout species. In response to these declines, Lahontan cutthroat trout was listed as endangered in 1970 (35 FR 13520) and reclassified as threatened in 1975 (40 FR 29863). In December 1993, the Department published a Lahontan Subbasins Fish Management Plan (Xxxxxx et al. 1993). In January of 1995, the Service issued the recovery plan for the Lahontan cutthroat trout (USFWS 1995). In Oregon, Lahontan cutthroat trout were historically common in the Xxxxx River and Coyote Lake basins. Data collected by the Department and the Nevada Department of Wildlife (NDOW) indicate that Lahontan cutthroat trout are thought to occupy only 15 percent of their historic stream habitat in the Xxxxx River drainage. The populations have suffered from habitat loss, hybridization with nonnative salmonids and recent extended periods of drought. Recovery actions in the Xxxxx River drainage are a top priority item in the Service’s 1995 Lahontan Cutthroat Trout Recovery Plan. Currently, Lahontan cutthroat trout occupy approximately 10 streams (57 miles) of habitat in the Coyote Lake basin. This represents most of the available habitat in that basin. In addition to Lahontan cutthroat trout, Xxxxxx cutthroat trout historically occupied Trout Creek and tributaries in the Xxxxxx basin, but those populations are thought to be completely lost to hybridization with rainbow trout. Lahontan cutthroat trout from the Coyote Lake basin were introduced into nine streams in the Xxxxxx basin in the 1970’s and 1980’s. These include seven streams on the east side of Steens Mountain and two streams on the east side of the Pueblo Mountains. To faci...
Covered Species. The only listed species with the potential to occur in the covered lands is the spotted owl, which, as stated previously, is federally listed as threatened. The spotted owl is also listed as endangered on the WDFW State Species of Concern list. The spotted owl is the only “covered species” in the SHA, as defined in the FWS Safe Harbor Policy (U.S. Department of the Interior 1999).
Covered Species. The Covered Species include populations of four fish species and two amphibian species as identified in Table 1-4. Each is a cold-water adapted taxonomic species whose habitat requirements make it sensitive to the impacts of timber management. Three of the species are under NMFS' jurisdiction and include five “evolutionarily significant units” (ESUs) and one “distinct population segment” (DPS) of those species. Two of the ESUs currently are listed under the ESA; three are not. The one DPS currently is not listed under the ESA. This Plan is a HCP for the fish populations in all six ESUs/DPSs (see Section 1.4.1), and the six ESUs/DPSs will be named on the ITP. The species and ESUs are identified on Table 1-4 as the “ITP Species.” The resident form of the rainbow trout, coastal cutthroat trout, southern torrent salamander, and tailed frog are under USFWS jurisdiction; and none of them is currently listed under the ESA. Under these circumstances, USFWS takes the view that the Covered Species under its jurisdiction are most appropriately addressed in a CCAA (rather than an HCP) and that incidental take coverage should be provided through issuance of an ESP rather than an ITP. Accordingly, with respect to these species, the Plan includes the conservation planning elements of a CCAA as described in Section
