As required by section 10(a)(2)(B) of the ESA, OPRD has prepared a Habitat Conservation Plan (Plan) that describes proposed actions and measures they will implement to minimize and mitigate take of the threatened western snowy plover (Charadrius alexandrinus nivosus). The permit application is related to public use and recreation, beach management, and resource management activities along Oregon’s coast. The application includes the proposed Plan and a proposed Implementation Agreement (IA). The Service also announces the availability of a draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) that has been prepared in response to the permit application in accordance with the requirements of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). The Service is considering issuing a 25-year permit to the OPRD. The requested permit would authorize OPRD to engage in activities related to public use and recreation, beach management, and resource management activities that VerDate Aug<31>2005 15:04 Nov 02, 2007 Jkt 214001 may result in the incidental take of the western snowy plover.

Background: Section 9 of the ESA (16 U.S.C. 1538) and implementing regulations prohibit the ‘‘take’’ of fish and wildlife species listed as endangered or threatened. The term ‘‘take’’ is defined under the ESA to mean harass, harm, pursue, hunt, shoot, wound, kill, trap, capture, or collect, or to attempt to engage in any such conduct (16 U.S.C. 1532). ‘‘Harm’’ is defined by Service regulation to include significant habitat modification or degradation where it actually kills or injures listed wildlife by significantly impairing essential behavioral patterns, including breeding, feeding, and sheltering (50 CFR 17.3(c)). However, under limited circumstances, the Service may issue permits to authorize ’’incidental take’’ of listed species. Incidental take is defined by the ESA as take that is incidental to, and not the purpose of, carrying out an otherwise lawful activity. Regulations governing incidental take permits for threatened and endangered species are found at 50 CFR 17.32 and 17.22, respectively. The OPRD has management responsibility on all Oregon coastal beaches, which extend approximately 230 miles, for such activities as public use and recreation, beach management conducted by OPRD staff, and natural resource management. These activities may result in the incidental take of the threatened western snowy plover (Charadrius alexandrinus nivosus). The OPRD has prepared a 25-year Plan that would address the incidental take of the western snowy plover caused by the above activities. This Plan forms the basis for OPRD’s permit application to the Service and its implementation is discussed in the Service’s DEIS. Activities that the OPRD is proposing for permit coverage, and for which minimization and mitigation measures are described in the Plan, include: 1. Public Use/Recreation Management. a. Dog-exercising. b. Driving. c. Kite-flying. d. Non-motorized Vehicle Use. e. Other Dry Sand Activities. 2. Beach Management. a. Public Safety. b. Law Enforcement. c. Boat and Marine Mammal Strandings. 3. Natural Resource Management. a. Snowy Plover Management. b. Other Habitat Restoration.
