Adjustments to Baseline Conditions Sample Clauses

Adjustments to Baseline Conditions. In spite of implementation of the management activities set forth herein and utilization of protective efforts, incidents may occur on the Enrolled Property that are neither the result of the Cooperator’s action or inaction but that are unforeseen and/or beyond the Cooperator’s control (e.g., force majeure events, such as tornados, rainstorms, severe drought, fires, or insect/disease epidemics, etc.). The effects of such incidents could be to degrade the baseline conditions on the Enrolled Property to the extent that the habitat is destroyed or becomes degraded and/or unsuitable for continued occupation by the Covered Species. In either instance, the Covered Species could be extirpated from the Enrolled Property, the numbers of species and/or the amount of suitable habitat could be reduced below the baseline conditions, and/or the elements necessary to provide a net conservation benefit to the Covered Species could no longer exist on the Enrolled Property. When an unforeseen incident or an event beyond the Cooperator’s control occurs, the Cooperator will not be held responsible for the resulting loss and may request, in writing, that the Authorizing Party, with the FWS’s approval, adjust and/or modify the description of the baseline conditions on the Enrolled Property and/or the management activities to be implemented on the property. The Cooperator’s request must also grant access to the Authorizing Party and/or any other of the Authorized Parties to enter upon the Enrolled Property to determine whether to approve the request. The approval or denial of the request must be in writing; however, any approval must include a detailed description of the extent to which the baseline conditions have been adjusted and the specify changes to the management activities that the Cooperator would then be required to implement on the Enrolled Property. Each approval must be appended to the XXXX as an exhibit.
