Habitat Clause Samples

Habitat. In addition to the habitat benefit derived from the Remedial Actions contemplated herein, the Port and City agree to jointly prioritize and pursue outside funding for the habitat restoration opportunities delineated in Figure 3-2 of the Waterfront District Sub-Area Plan. The Port and City will jointly cooperate to grant or acquire any easements, licenses or other authorizations necessary to implement habitat projects. Where feasible, habitat restoration and remediation will be integrated.

Habitat. The gopher tortoise typically inhabits relatively well-drained, ▇▇▇▇▇ soils. The gopher tortoise is generally associated with longleaf pine, xeric oak sandhills but also occurs in scrub, xeric hammock, pine flatwoods, dry prairie, coastal grasslands and dunes, mixed hardwood-pine communities, and a variety of disturbed habitats. Gopher tortoises excavate ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ that average 4.5 m in length and 2 m in depth. These ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, which provide protection from temperature extremes, desiccation, and predators, serve as refuges for approximately 360 other species, including federally listed species such as the Mississippi gopher frog (Lithobates sevosa) and Eastern indigo snake (Drymarchon couperi).

Habitat. Habitats recorded in the upland portion of the study area mainly included grassland/eroded hillside, shrubland, plantation and stream/channel (Figures 9.6). Fire, erosion, poor soil condition and historic use of the Castle Peak firing range have maintained most of this area at an early successional stage. Plant communities found in these upland areas are dominated by common, fire-tolerant, hardy species of low conservation interest. A number of small, steep streams drained the severely eroded and frequently burned uplands. The streams are affected by erosion and sedimentation, and there is no distinguishable riparian habitat. Recorded plant species and their relative abundance are listed in Annex A.

Habitat. Since the site will require fill, all trees within the limits of the Subject Property will be cleared, except for those within the undisturbed buffer along the property line adjacent to Tract C. The Donation Property is to be donated to the City to mitigate for these impacts, and it will be designated as Conservation on the ▇▇▇▇.

Habitat. A Preliminary Environment Assessment Report identifying threatened and endangered species was provided to the City. That Report shows no adverse impacts. No construction shall commence within any gopher tortoise habitat on the Citation Estates property until the Developer has obtained the necessary gopher tortoise permit from the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FFWCC) and complies with all permit conditions. The City may require an update to the Report as part of future application and shall prescribe a time frame within which such updated report shall be provided. In the absence of a permit, development related activities on the Property shall not result in the harming, pursuit, or harassment of wildlife species classified as endangered, threatened, or a species of special concern by either the State or Federal governments in contravention of applicable State and Federal laws, rules or regulations. Should listed species be determined to reside on, or otherwise be significantly dependent upon the Property, the Owners shall cease all development activities which might negatively affect that individual or population. The Property shall be developed in full compliance with all applicable laws, rules and regulations. The Owner shall provide proper protection to the satisfaction of all agencies with jurisdiction over the matter. As provided elsewhere in this Agreement, Bear Smart Community principles shall be considered as part of a future supplemental Preliminary Assessment Report. The report shall be submitted no later than Preliminary Plat to ensure that design and development planning incorporates sufficient measures to reduce bear – human nuisance interactions..

Habitat. The Reverse Pebblesnail has been found in shoals with rapidly flowing water, on surfaces of gravel, cobble, boulder, and bedrock, as well as vegetation (Podostemum ceratophyllum). The species is absent from silty substrates (▇▇▇▇▇▇ 2000).

Habitat. The Protected Property may be used to maintain, restore or enhance habitat for wildlife and native biological communities in accordance with a restoration plan approved by the Trust in writing. Following restoration, the Protected Property shall be managed by the Owner in accordance with a management plan approved in advance by a qualified ecological consultant.

Habitat. An area that provides the environmental elements of air, water, food, cover, and space necessary for a given species to survive and reproduce.

Habitat. Using the Santa ▇▇▇▇▇ Valley Habitat Plan web maps, DJP&A will identify each site’s land cover designation, whether any special surveys are required, and likely land cover fees.
