Common use of CONSERVATION MEASURES Clause in Contracts

CONSERVATION MEASURES. Conservation measures that may be implemented on enrolled properties to assist with the recovery of LCT will be as varied as the types of lands and landowner. While this section lists many possible conservation measures for each management action, all possible measures can not be anticipated. Each cooperator will not be expected to implement the full set of measures. The conservation measures to be implemented will be specific to each individual’s baseline, habitat conditions, and management needs. Conservation measures implemented by the landowner to manage livestock grazing to meet a desired habitat goal may contain the following elements: control of stocking rates (Number/density of animals per unit area), manipulation of grazing season, and/or changes in duration, frequency and livestock types. Other measures may include livestock exclusion fencing, off-site water development and herding strategies. Private landowners actively farming to produce an agricultural crop will have the opportunity to implement a multitude of conservation measures to improve habitat conditions for LCT. Agricultural conservation measures could include crop selection, establishment of riparian buffer zones, and fertilizer and land disturbance (plowing and tilling) management. Manipulations in flow diversion timing, duration, and volume may be implemented as well as runoff minimization practices. These grazing and agricultural mitigation measures may be utilized to minimize sediment production, algae blooms, water temperature increases, and water quality degradation, as well as to provide for increases in stream flows and improvements in riparian habitat conditions. Several additional conservation measures that may be implemented include road or trail management (including improved crossings or fish passage structures), riparian vegetation plantings, rehabilitation projects, and stream habitat improvement projects. Other options may exist that are not apparent until a willing landowner and biologist have the opportunity to exchange ideas. The overall goal is to produce conservation measures that are mutually beneficial to the cooperator and the long-term existence of LCT. As conservation measures are formulated, they will be included in that landowner’s specific Cooperative Agreement and added to this list of conservation measures for future use.

Each cooperator will not be expected to implement the full set of measures. The conservation measures to be implemented will be specific to each individual’s baseline, baseline habitat conditions, conditions and management needs. Conservation measures implemented by the landowner to manage livestock grazing to meet a desired habitat goal may contain the following elements: control of stocking rates (Numbernumber/density of animals per unit area), manipulation of grazing season, and/or changes in duration, frequency and livestock types. Other measures may include livestock exclusion fencing, off-site water development development, and herding strategies. Private landowners actively farming to produce an agricultural crop will have the opportunity to implement a multitude of conservation measures to improve habitat conditions for LCTLahontan cutthroat trout. Agricultural conservation measures could include modifications in crop selection, establishment of riparian buffer zones, fertilizer management, haying of xxxxxxx rather than grazing cattle along stream courses, and fertilizer and management of land disturbance (plowing and tilling) management). Manipulations in of irrigation practices including flow diversion timing, duration, and volume may be implemented as well as runoff minimization practices. These Implementation of these grazing and agricultural mitigation measures may be utilized to minimize reduce sediment production, algae reduce the frequency of algal blooms, reduce water temperature increasestemperature, and improve water quality degradation, as well as to quality. These practices could also provide for increases in stream flows and improvements in riparian habitat conditions. Several additional conservation measures that may be implemented include road or trail management (including improved crossings or fish passage structures), riparian vegetation plantings, rehabilitation projects, and stream habitat improvement projects. Other options may exist that are not apparent until a willing landowner and biologist have the opportunity to exchange ideasreadily apparent. The overall goal is to produce implement conservation measures that are mutually beneficial to the cooperator and the long-term existence of LCTLahontan cutthroat trout. As conservation measures are formulated, they will be included in that landowner’s specific Cooperative Agreement and added to this list of conservation measures for future use.

Private landowners actively farming to produce an agricultural agriculture crop will have the opportunity to implement a multitude of conservation measures to improve habitat conditions for LCT. Agricultural Agriculture conservation measures could include crop selection, establishment of riparian buffer zones, and fertilizer and land disturbance (plowing and tilling) management. Manipulations in flow diversion timing, duration, and volume may be implemented as well as runoff minimization practices. These grazing and agricultural agriculture mitigation measures may be utilized used to minimize sediment production, algae blooms, water temperature increases, and water quality degradation, as well as to provide for increases in stream flows and improvements in riparian habitat conditions.
