Conservation Benefits. In addition to the measures to avoid or address specific impacts, the Plan includes measures to improve conditions for the Covered Species and/or their habitats. These additional measures provide a level of mitigation that exceeds the anticipated impacts of taking. Examples include the road decommissioning and upgrading measures (and the accelerated implementation of the measures) and the LWD recruitment measures. Green Diamond also believes that the Plan as designed provides for a significant improvement in the habitat conditions for all Covered Species within the Plan Area in all HPAs. In particular, the Road Management Measures will significantly accelerate the recovery of stream conditions negatively impacted by sediment, and other measures will provide similar improvements of habitat conditions. The conservation benefits provided by the additional measures also provide extra confidence that the Plan meets and in some cases exceeds the ITP and ESP standards that apply to each identified impact. Stated another way, the extra measures supply added assurance that a sufficient level of conservation is being provided to address any concern about the sufficiency of any particular measure to address the extent of a particular type of impact. Furthermore, the improvement in conditions that will result from these measures exceeds that needed to meet the ITP “minimize and mitigate” standard and will contribute both to the recovery of the ITP Species and to efforts to preclude the need to list the ESP Species. Green Diamond considered alternatives to the taking of listed Covered Species and alternative conservation strategies for listed and unlisted aquatic species. The alternatives and the reasons they were not selected are summarized below.

Conservation Benefits. This SHMA will provide the following net conservation benefits: Check all that apply. Occupied nesting and foraging habitat are expected to be maintained at current levels, which will help maintain population stability. Existing RCW populations will increase through the installation and maintenance of artificial nesting and roosting cavities. New RCW groups and populations will be created naturally or via recruitment clusters and translocation efforts. RCW populations will be augmented through translocation of surplus sub-adults to acceptable sites. Suitable RCW habitat will be enhanced, restored, and/or created on the enrolled property. Pine forest fragmentation will decrease and habitat connectivity will increase as a result of habitat enhancement, restoration, and/or creation efforts. Information on RCW population productivity and demographics in Alabama will be obtained.

Conservation Benefits. This XXXX will provide the following net conservation benefits: Expand the occupied range of the Covered Species through reintroduction of the Covered Species onto the enrolled property and reduce the overall risk of extinction of the species by placing more individuals on the landscape and increasing population redundancy.

Conservation Benefits. ‌ Forests & Fish Buffers can benefit listed species. As envisioned when the Forests & Fish Report was adopted in 1999, this SHA acknowledges that conservation benefits have and will accrue from the growth and maintenance of mature forest habitat in Forests & Fish Buffers on private property. For the purposes of the SHA, an additional net conservation benefit comes from setting aside and preserving Murrelet Habitat Development Areas and Presumed Habitat and protecting Occupied Marbled Murrelet Sites and SHA Occupied Sites from harvest. SHA assurances encourage participation in these voluntary conservation efforts in the future, contribute to the long-term success of the Forests & Fish Report, and provide Applicant with legal protection for the term of this SHA. This SHA is unique in that the landowners involved in the Forests & Fish Report committed to many (though not all) of the management activities contained in this SHA two decades ago, at the time of the Forests & Fish Report. The Forests & Fish Report was a landmark cooperative agreement to protect key forest elements for the benefit of listed and unlisted salmonids, native fishes, and stream-associated amphibians. It is a programmatic agreement that is now incorporated into state law, but it was at its core a voluntary conservation effort undertaken on a broad scale with the goal of protecting critical species and making the timber industry sustainable in Washington over the long term. A detailed history follows, but it is important at the outset to note the following sequence of events: 1. Landowners and stakeholders agreed to new conservation measures that at the time were not required by law and subsequently adopted them into the Forests & Fish Report; 2. By agreement and with consent of all stakeholders, those conservation measures were adopted by the legislature and enacted into law through the promulgation of new Forest Practices Rules and the adoption of the Forest Practices HCP; and 3. Compliance with the Forest Practices Rules then became the basis for take assurances for aquatic species under the Forest Practices HCP, which were provided to all landowners. Thus, it was through voluntary agreement to adopt new conservation measures into law that landowners became subject to the current Forest Practices Rules. Understanding the history of the Forests & Fish Report is critical to understanding the conservation approach of this SHA.
