Enrolled Lands. The enrolled properties are lands owned or managed by SPI in Butte, Plumas, and Tehama Counties in California, and are located in the Stirling Management Area. The enrolled lands are industrial forestlands in California that are characterized by a mix of primarily second growth pine and mixed conifer forests. Fishers are believed to have been extirpated from these lands (Xxxxxxxxx et al. 2005). The enrolled lands in Butte, Plumas, and Tehama Counties are primarily large tracts of private holdings. The enrolled lands are the largest unoccupied contiguous SPI tract within the historic range of fishers. These lands were chosen for the CCAA because the area has been identified by CDFG as a likely location for an experimental introduction, should it occur.
Enrolled Lands. This CCAA pertains to non-federal lands in Colorado encompassed by the current distribution of Gunnison Sage-grouse, and to those non-Federal lands that provide potential habitat that may be occupied by the species in the future, referred to in the RCP as ‘vacant/unknown’ and ‘potentially suitable’ habitats (Gunnison’s Sage-grouse Rangewide Steering Committee 2005) . In Colorado, the currently occupied habitat on all land ownerships covers approximately 850,000 acres while another 200,000 acres are classified as ‘vacant/unknown’ and 700,000 acres are ‘potentially suitable habitat’ (Gunnison’s Sage-grouse Rangewide Steering Committee 2005). “Suitable habitat,” as used in the definitions below, means habitat that currently meets one or more life history requirements of Gunnison Sage-grouse. Definitions of mapped categories of habitat, taken from RCP are as follows: Occupied Habitat: Areas of suitable habitat known to be used by Sage-grouse within the last 10 years from the date of mapping. Areas of suitable habitat contiguous with areas of known use, which do not have effective barriers to Sage-grouse movement from known use areas, are mapped as occupied habitat unless specific information exists that documents the lack of Sage- grouse use. The habitat may be mapped from any combination of telemetry locations, sightings of Sage-grouse or Sage-grouse sign, local biological expertise, Geographic Information System (GIS) analysis, or other data sources. Vacant or Unknown Habitat: Suitable habitat for Sage-grouse that is separated (not contiguous) from occupied habitats that either:
Enrolled Lands. This CCAA pertains to the approximately 79,231 acres of surface/subsurface and 8,430 subsurface state trust land within the CCAA boundary in New Mexico (Appendix A). These lands will remain in enrolled status for the duration of this CCAA, as long as the Land Office is performing its obligations under this Agreement. Participation in this CCAA through CIs is open to Lessees within the boundary of the CCAA.
Enrolled Lands. This Agreement applies to all lands in the five eastern Wyoming counties of Campbell, Converse, Xxxxx, Niobrara, and Weston owned or beneficially managed by participating Association members or where members hold a lease, license, permit, or contract with a federal agency. Association members seeking coverage must be willing and able to conduct appropriate conservation measures on properties which lie within the coverage area. This requirement is intended to support the Association’s landscape conservation strategy within that particular area. Association members with extractive mineral projects seeking coverage under this Agreement are encouraged to conduct conservation measures on reclaimed areas either owned or under their management control through the term of the Agreement and/or those lands they own but are not scheduled for energy development. While extractive industries will implement conservation measures on lands they control, the Association recognizes that the vast majority of the area covered by the Agreement is owned by members engaged in livestock grazing. The NEPA analysis conducted for this Agreement will cover current Association members (approximately 240,000 acres), the potential coal development area14 and potential oil and gas development area (approximately 350,000 acres each), and other property owners reasonably expected to participate. The Association will notify the FWS if new members desire coverage for large blocks of land or lands with significant impact after the initial NEPA analysis has been completed. Lands with minimal impact (e.g., ranch properties with appropriate grazing management) would require a determination of NEPA adequacy. For lands with significant impact which requires additional NEPA analysis, the CI or CP applicant shall either provide or fund the analysis.
Enrolled Lands. Lands eligible for enrollment in this CCAA include state, tribal, non-federal publicly owned, or privately owned forest lands within the historical range of the xxxxxx in Washington (Figures 1 and 2, Table 1), excluding lands in northeastern and southeastern Washington (Figure 1). CCAA management zones were delineated to identify areas where WDFW biologists should conduct outreach to eligible landowners where habitat conditions could support the temporary occupancy or residency of fishers. Enrolled properties will be described in documentation incorporated into Certificates of Inclusion (CI), and will include maps, figures, township and range, and/or legal descriptions as necessary to clearly delineate the precise boundaries of areas covered. WDFW will maintain an inventory including descriptions of all enrolled properties and provide this information to USFWS as one component of an Annual Report quantifying the amount and location of the enrolled properties.
Enrolled Lands. By executing this CP, the Participant affirms that it has sufficient control over the Enrolled Lands to carry out the Conservation Measures and any other management activities contemplated by this CP and CCA subject to applicable Federal law. This CP cannot be amended without the written agreement of all signatories.
Enrolled Lands. This CCA is intended to benefit the Sicklefin Redhorse throughout its range, which presently includes the Hiwassee and Little Tennessee River basins in North Carolina and Georgia, including all of their tributaries and associated uplands. Based on the present distribution of the Sicklefin Redhorse (Appendix A - Sicklefin Redhorse Distribution Map) and a lack of presently known suitable habitat in the Tennessee portions of these river basins, the Enrolled Lands are defined to cover the entire watersheds of the Hiwassee and Little Tennessee Rivers, where the watersheds occur within the States of North Carolina and Georgia. The downstream limit of the Enrolled Lands is the border of North Carolina and Tennessee within these two basins. Within the Enrolled Lands, several water-control project boundaries administered by the Parties have particular importance to the management of the Sicklefin Redhorse. Such water-control project boundaries include the project boundaries of Duke Energy’s Bryson, Franklin, and Mission Dams; TVA’s multi-purpose1 project boundaries of the Apalachia, Hiwassee, Fontana, Nottely, and Chatuge Dams; and Brookfield’s project boundaries of the Santeetlah, and Cheoah Dams. The Enrolled Lands identified in Table 1 below are owned in fee simple or with appropriate rights-of-way by either Duke Energy, TVA, or Brookfield. This CCA does not in any way restrict the current or future uses of these Enrolled Lands. Rather, the designation of “Enrolled Lands” merely signifies that these lands may need to be traversed in order to reach certain areas for conducting activities associated with the conservation measures and monitoring obligations prescribed under Sections X and XI of this CCA. The Parties hereby agree to allow the USFWS, NCWRC, and any other organization approved by the Parties, to enter the properties over which they exercise ownership (after reasonable prior notice, receipt of any required safety training, and in adherence to any necessary safety or security limitations) to implement the conservation measures prescribed in this CCA, such as those to conduct compliance and biological monitoring.
