Rule 36.11.406 - BIODIVERSITY - FINE FILTER APPROACH
Universal Citation: MT Admin Rules 36.11.406
Current through Register Vol. 6, March 22, 2024
(1) Because it cannot assure that the coarse filter approach will adequately address the full range of biodiversity, the department shall also employ a fine filter approach for threatened, endangered, and sensitive species (see ARM 36.11.428 through 36.11.432 ), that focuses on a single species' habitat requirements to the extent consistent with the Endangered Species Act, 16 U.S.C Sections 1531 through 1544 and 77-5-116, MCA.
(a) The department shall manage for a desired
future condition that promotes a diversity of habitat conditions beneficial to
wildlife. The fine filter shall support habitat requirements of threatened,
endangered, and sensitive wildlife and plant species. Where the coarse filter
and fine filter appear to be at odds, the department shall move toward the
conditions defined in ARM
36.11.405 consistent with its
fiduciary obligations owed to the trust beneficiary.
