Availability of Documents
You may obtain copies of the
documents for review by contacting the
individual named above. You may also
make an appointment to view the
documents at the above address during
normal business hours.
Background
Under a Safe Harbor Agreement,
participating landowners voluntarily
undertake management activities on
their property to enhance, restore, or
maintain habitat benefiting species
listed under the Act (16 U.S.C. 1531 et
seq.). Safe Harbor Agreements, and the
subsequent enhancement of survival
permits that are issued pursuant to
Section 10(a)(1)(A) of the Act, encourage
private and other non-Federal property
owners to implement conservation
efforts for listed species by assuring
property owners that they will not be
subjected to increased property use
restrictions as a result of their efforts to
attract listed species to their property, or
to increase the numbers or distribution
of listed species already on their
property. Application requirements and
issuance criteria for enhancement of
survival permits through Safe Harbor
Agreements are found in 50 CFR
17.22(c).
We have worked with the Applicant
to develop the proposed Agreement for

the conservation of the VELB on the Del
Rio Wildland Preserve (Enrolled
Property) in Butte City, Glenn County,
California. The 259-acre Del Rio
Wildland Preserve subject to this
Agreement is located in the
southeastern corner of Glenn County
just south of the Llano Seco Rancho.
The property occupies flood-prone land
between the Sacramento River Flood
Control Project setback levee and Angel
Slough. The property currently is
divided into existing riparian habitat, an
ongoing restoration project, and a
walnut orchard.
This Agreement provides for the
restoration, enhancement, and
management of riparian habitat suitable
for the VELB on the Enrolled Property.
The proposed duration of the
Agreement is 20 years, and the proposed
term of the enhancement of survival
permit is 25 years, provided that the
Service determines that the actions
identified in the Agreement were
implemented prior to the Agreement’s
expiration. When fully implemented,
the Agreement and requested
enhancement of survival permit will
allow the Applicants to return to
baseline after the end of the 20-year
term of the Agreement and prior to the
expiration of the 25-year permit, if so
desired by the Applicants. The
Agreement fully describes the
management activities to be undertaken
by the Applicant, and the net
conservation benefits expected to the
VELB.
Upon approval of this Agreement, and
consistent with the Service’s Safe
Harbor Policy published in the Federal
Register on June 17, 1999 (64 FR 32717),
the Service would issue a permit to the
Applicants authorizing take of the VELB
incidental to the implementation of the
management activities specified in the
Agreement, incidental to other lawful
uses of the Enrolled Property including
normal, routine land management
activities, and to return to preAgreement conditions (baseline).
Under the Agreement, the Applicants
would undertake management activities
to benefit the VELB by planting over
1,500 elderberry plants in a matrix of
native riparian plants that will benefit a
variety of riparian dependent wildlife
species including the VELB; completing
restoration of 231 acres of agricultural
land into riparian habitat with a diverse
native plant community and high
structural diversity; controlling invasive
weeds; and increasing the connectivity
of riparian forest within the Enrolled
Property and along the Sacramento
River.
Elderberry bushes (Sambucus sp.) are
the exclusive host plants for the larval
