DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR
Fish and Wildlife Service
Notice of Availability of the Barton
Springs Salamander Recovery Plan
Fish and Wildlife Service,
Interior.
ACTION: Notice of document availability.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: The U.S. Fish and Wildlife
Service (Service) announces the
availability of the approved Barton
Springs Salamander Recovery Plan
(Recovery Plan). The Barton Springs
salamander (Eurycea sosorum) is known
to occur near four spring outlets that
collectively make up Barton Springs in
Austin, Texas. Habitat loss and
modification from water quality and
water quantity degradation are the
primary threats facing the species. The
Recovery Plan outlines the necessary
criteria, objectives, and tasks to reduce
these threats and accomplish the goal of
delisting the Barton Springs salamander.
ADDRESSES: A copy of the Recovery Plan
may be requested by contacting the U.S.
Fish and Wildlife Service, Austin
Ecological Services Field Office, 10711
Burnet Road, Suite 200, Austin, Texas,
78758. The Recovery Plan may also be
obtained from the Internet at: https://
www.fws.gov/endangered/recovery/.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Field Office Supervisor, Austin
Ecological Services Field Office, at the
above address; telephone (512) 490–
0057, facsimile (512) 490–0974.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
The Barton Springs salamander
(Eurycea sosorum) was listed as
endangered on May 30, 1997, under
authority of the Endangered Species Act
of 1973, as amended (Act) (62 FR
23377). The water that discharges from
Barton Springs is essential to the
survival of the salamander. It originates
from the Barton Springs segment of the
Edwards Aquifer, a karst limestone
aquifer containing a complex system of
caves, sinkholes, fractures, and faults.
The Edwards Aquifer is particularly
vulnerable to contamination and land
use changes that degrade the quality of
storm water runoff. The primary threat
facing the survival and recovery of this
species is the degradation of water

Jkt 205001
quality and quantity of water that feeds
Barton Springs, as a result of
urbanization over the Barton Springs
watershed (including roadway,
residential, commercial, and industrial
development). The Recovery Plan
includes information about the species,
its habitat, and current conservation
efforts. Further, it provides recovery
criteria that, when reached, will signify
that the species has recovered to a point
where it no longer warrants listing as
endangered or threatened. Recovery
actions are provided to guide recovery
implementation and achieve recovery
criteria.
Reclassification from endangered to
threatened (downlisting) will be
considered when the following recovery
criteria have been met: (1) Mechanisms
(such as laws, rules, regulations, and
cooperative agreements) are in place to
ensure non-degradation of water quality
in the Barton Springs watershed; (2) a
plan to avoid, respond to, and remediate
hazardous materials spills within the
Barton Springs watershed is in place
with high priority measures
implemented to minimize risks to the
Barton Springs salamander to a low
level; (3) measures to ensure that
continuous, natural springflows are
maintained at all four spring outlets are
in place and succesful; (4) a healthy,
self-sustaining natural population of
Barton Springs salamanders is
maintained within its historical range;
(5) measures to remove local threats to
the Barton Springs ecosystem have been
implemented; (6) captive populations of
Barton Springs salamanders have been
established in secure locations under
the direction of a Captive Propagation
and Contingency Plan.
The Recovery Plan proposes delisting
of the Barton Springs salamander when
the downlisting criteria have been
achieved and the following additional
recovery criteria have been met: (1)
Water quality protection mechanisms
are shown to be effective and
commitments are in place to continue
protection; (2) measures to implement
the catastrophic spill avoidance,
response and remediation plans are
ensured; (3) measures to maintain
adequate springflows are shown to be
effective; (4) the Barton Springs
salamander population is shown to be
viable and stable or increasing; (5)
measures to remove local threats to the
Barton Springs ecosystem are shown to
be effective and a commitment is in
place to continue the appropriate
management of the surface habitat; (6)
captive breeding is shown to be effective
and reliable and commitments are in
place to maintain adequate captive

populations for any needed restoration
work.
Due to the Barton Springs
salamander’s reliance on continuous
flow of clean spring water, many of the
high-priority recovery tasks outlined in
the Recovery Plan are designed to
ensure adequate water quality and
quantity within the Barton Springs
watershed, such as: (1) Developing and
implementing catastrophic spill
avoidance, response, and remediation
plans; (2) implementing programs to
protect sensitive environmental features
important to salamander habitat or the
effective recharge of clean water such as
caves, sinkholes, fissures, springs, and
riparian zones; (3) developing and
implementing programs to identify and
correct problems from point and nonpoint source pollution discharges; and
(4) creating a regional management
program that will be used to ensure the
protection of aquifer level and
springflows under normal and drought
conditions. Other high-priority recovery
actions include ensuring protection for
existing spring habitats and establishing
and maintaining adequate captive
breeding populations.
Restoring an endangered or
threatened animal or plant to the point
where it is again a secure, selfsustaining member of its ecosystem is a
primary goal of the Service’s
endangered species program. To help
guide the recovery effort, the Service is
working to prepare recovery plans for
most of the listed species native to the
United States. Recovery plans describe
actions considered necessary for
conservation of listed species, establish
criteria for downlisting or delisting
those species, and estimate time and
cost for implementing the recovery
measures needed.
The Act requires the development of
recovery plans for listed species unless
such a plan would not promote the
conservation of a particular species.
Section 4(f) of the Act, as amended in
1988, requires that public notice and an
opportunity for public review and
comment be provided during recovery
plan development. The Service
considers all information presented
during a public comment period prior to
approval of each new or revised
recovery plan. The Service and others
also take these comments into account
in the course of implementing recovery
plans.
Authority: This document is published
under the authority of the Endangered
Species Act of 1973, as amended (16 U.S.C.
1531 et seq.).
