Cypress Corridor Project Mitigation Sample Clauses

Cypress Corridor Project Mitigation. The Cypress Corridor in the northeast portion of the City of Oakley is included in the HCP/NCCP’s Urban Development Area. However, Oakley has completed or is near completion of its environmental review of many projects in the area. The proponents of these projects will pursue, or are currently pursuing, independent take authorizations under Section 7 of FESA and/or CESA. As the result of discussions with the project proponents, the Wildlife Agencies have identified substantial, mutually agreeable additions of land to the Preserve System and funding for HCP/NCCP implementation that they expect will provide sufficient mitigation for the projects without compromising the overall viability of the Preserve System or the Implementing Entity’s ability to meet HCP/NCCP goals and objectives. (Copies of the June 1, 2006 agreement between the Wildlife Agencies and the project proponents, the “East Cypress HCP/NCCP Memorandum of Agreement,” may be obtained from CDFG or the Implementing Entity.) If such projects receive independent take authorizations under FESA and CESA based on these alternative mitigation requirements, the projects will not be Covered Activities or otherwise be covered by or subject to the HCP/NCCP or this Agreement, and will not receive take authorization under the Permits. However, the Parties agree that the take resulting from such projects and the mitigation provided will be accounted for in the HCP/NCCP and this Agreement as if the projects were Covered Activities for purposes of calculating Stay Ahead and Rough Proportionality requirements in accordance with Section 9.2 and Section 9.3 of this Agreement and with Chapter 8.6.1 of the HCP/NCCP and will be credited toward the obligations set forth in Conservation Measure 1.1.
