Notice of Public Meeting, Eastern Washington Resource Advisory Council Meeting, 14135-14136 [E7-5466]

Download as PDF cprice-sewell on PROD1PC66 with NOTICES Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 57 / Monday, March 26, 2007 / Notices conservation areas within the subdivision for the Houston toad. The application fees generated by the issuance of Subdivision Certificates would be used to fund the LPHCP and its conservation programs. The LPHCP includes guidelines for agricultural management, forest management, and wildlife management. Participation in the LPHCP and adherence to the guidelines would be voluntary; however, incidental take authorization under the LPHCP would be restricted to those activities that are in compliance with the guidelines. The purpose of the guidelines is to allow for reasonable land use practices while avoiding or minimizing negative or long-term impacts to the Houston toad. The agricultural management guidelines cover practices related to cultivated land, improved pasture or hayland, and rangeland/native grazing lands/grazable woodland/native pasture. The forest management guidelines would provide a framework for forest management activities such as management planning, road construction and maintenance, site preparation and planting, chemical applications, timber harvesting, and prescribed burning. The wildlife management guidelines describe the framework for activities such as management planning, brush management, reforestation, prescribed burning, providing supplemental food sources, restoring native grassland, constructing Houston toad breeding ponds, and controlling fire ants. The agriculture, wildlife and forestry guidelines are intended to be ‘‘selfmitigating.’’ This means that although there could be some short-term impacts to the toad or its habitat as a result of conducting activities included under the various guidelines, the applicant anticipates that there will be an overall net improvement in the quality or quantity of the toad habitat over the long-term. Public infrastructure activities, emergency services, and ongoing use of previously developed land would be offered automatic coverage under the County’s incidental take permit by following the guidelines outlined in the LPHCP. Low-impact land uses would be covered upon Bastrop County issuing a Notice of Receipt. No mitigation fees would be required for landowners seeking authorization for low-impact land uses. However, any incidental take that may occur as a result of land management practices that are not consistent with the applicable guidelines in the LPHCP are not covered. The LPHCP conservation program and administration would be funded by a VerDate Aug<31>2005 15:30 Mar 23, 2007 Jkt 211001 combination of fees collected from Plan participants and general revenue from the County. Collected fees would be used primarily to fund the biological monitoring, landowner incentive, and community outreach and education programs of the LPHCP. The County would provide funds sufficient to hire a LPHCP administrator, whose duties would include much of the actual operation of the LPHCP. Part of the job description for the LPHCP administrator would be to regularly apply for outside grants to increase funding for the Plan. Grants could be used to purchase land, easements, or development rights on Houston toad habitat from willing partners. Rather than provide for the purchase and management of a publicly-owned, interconnected, habitat preserve system for the Houston toad, the LPHCP proposes to focus resources on strategic land protection and encourage voluntary conservation efforts by private landowners. This conservation program would use mitigation fees from participants seeking incidental take permits to help fund conservation and management activities that have broad community support. Using this method, a large portion of the active management for the Plan Area would be through the voluntary efforts of private landowners. A key to maintaining quality toad habitat between designated conservation areas is the participation of private landowners in conservation efforts. The LPHCP would seek the help of private landowners by encouraging use of new and existing landowner incentive programs and by forming partnerships with community organizations to manage habitat. These initiatives would include: management of open space in existing residential subdivisions, supporting wildlife management associations, supporting the conversion of agricultural use land to a wildlife management use, private landowner partnerships and grant funding; and, expanding access to existing assistance programs. In addition to encouraging and supporting the voluntary management of private lands for the Houston toad, the LPHCP would also support the acquisition of development rights, conservation easements, or land from willing partners, if sufficient funds become available. Because funds are limited, the LPHCP would prioritize the use of funds for acquiring development rights, easements, and land. A set of minimum and preferred criteria to evaluate tracts in the Plan Area that may be available to benefit the Houston toad have been established. These criteria would ensure that funds would be used PO 00000 Frm 00064 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 14135 on the properties that provide the most desirable characteristics for Houston toad conservation. The LPHCP would also offer mitigation in the form of community education and public outreach. Activities would include: distribution of LPHCP guidelines; distribution of a fact sheet about the ESA and LPHCP to septic permit applicants in Bastrop County; conducting an annual Houston toad community education workshop; and, developing a county-wide Integrated Pest Management Plan. Support for Houston toad monitoring and research programs would also be included in the LPHCP. The LPHCP administrator would maintain a database of Houston toad surveys and known locations, distribute spatial data for use in conservation planning, and help researchers team with private landowners willing to provide access to Houston toad habitat on their property. The County expects that by creating a fair, simple, and certain process for obtaining incidental take authorization, the burden on individual landowners is reduced and it facilitates desired economic development in the Plan Area while preserving Houston toad habitat and supporting conservation research.
