Description of the Proposed Action Sample Clauses

Description of the Proposed Action. The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) is entering into a co-management agreement with the Cook Inlet Marine Mammal Council (CIMMC) for the year 2000. The co-management agreement specifies the conditions, and the number of strikes allowed, under which a subsistence harvest on Cook Inlet (CI) beluga whales could be undertaken during the year 2000. The agreement specifies a harvest level of one (1) whale strike during 2000. Abundance estimates for the CI beluga whale stock indicate a decline of nearly 50 percent between 1994 and 1998, which caused NMFS to designate the stock as depleted under the Marine Mammal Protection Act (MMPA). Federal authority to enter into the co- management agreement for the year 2000 derives from Public Law 106-31, which prohibits the hunting of CI beluga whales prior to October 1, 2000 except pursuant to a cooperative agreement between NMFS and Alaskan Native organizations (ANOs); and Section 119 of the MMPA which allows the Secretary to enter into cooperative agreements with ANOs to conserve marine mammals and provide co-management of subsistence use by Alaska Natives.

Description of the Proposed Action. BPA proposes to amend its existing firm power sales agreement with Port Xxxxxxxx Paper Corporation (Port Xxxxxxxx), by increasing the production load served to an existing mill by 3.5 megawatts (MW). Under the current agreement, the mill, which is located in Port Townsend, Washington, receives 12.25 MW of power from BPA. The increase to 15.75 MW would remain in effect until the power sales agreement with Port Xxxxxxxx ends on September 30, 2022. Port Xxxxxxxx has requested this increase to support equipment upgrades at their mill, which they expect to be operational by summer 2014. To supply the additional 3.5 MW of firm power, BPA expects to use the federal energy surplus that BPA forecasts it will have during the remaining term of the contract. BPA identified this surplus in the draft equivalent benefits analysis determination prepared for the proposed contract amendment.1 If certain water conditions occur during the contract term, however, BPA may have to make short- term purchases to balance BPA’s total loads (including Port Townsend’s load) and resources. These would be normal balancing purchases, most likely from the market, existing generation resources, or some combination of both. BPA does not anticipate the need to alter its purchasing strategy for the power sold to Port Xxxxxxxx during the term of the amendment.

Description of the Proposed Action. Paramount and ESRP have agreed to cooperate in carrying out an experimental project on Paramount’s land in Xxxx County. The project is intended to benefit the federally endangered kit fox, and contribute to the scientific body of knowledge regarding kit fox behavior. The project purpose is to facilitate installation, monitoring, and potential removal of several artificial kit fox escape dens on Paramount land that is actively farmed, between the California Aqueduct and the Lost Hills Oil Field approximately a mile to the west. The artificial escape dens will consist of buried pipes and xxxxxxxx in which kit foxes can take refuge from coyotes, red foxes, and other canid predators known to inhabit the area and prey upon the kit fox. Approximately 25 escape dens will be installed in above-ground mounds, to reduce the risk of flooding from crop irrigation, especially with regard to row crops. Of these, approximately four will consist of a concrete or metal chamber that is generally buried several feet below the surface and that is connected to the surface by means of one or two 8-inch pipes. The remaining escape dens will be suitable diameter pipes placed on the surface and then covered with dirt in such a way as to leave one or both ends of the pipe open. The total surface area buffer around the escape den sites that needs to be kept free of earth moving activities, planting, or other disturbance will be no less than 10 feet and up to 30 feet. To minimize the amount of affected farmland, the escape dens will be located along existing farm roads, irrigation canals, or other areas not in current agricultural use. To optimize distribution, some may be sited on land currently in agricultural use. Use of the escape dens will be monitored using radio telemetry of radio-collared kit foxes, spotlighting, track plates, remote cameras, and physical inspection. Scheduling of all activities related to this project will occur to ensure no interference with farming activities on Paramount’s land. In total, the project lands encompass approximately 1668 acres (Table 1). The majority of the land is being used for cotton production in 2001. Other types of crops include pistachio xxxxxx and almond xxxxxx. Approximately 5 percent of the land area is a disced field that was a mature almond grove in the late 1990's. While the orchards will remain over the life of the permit, the row crops chosen by lessees will change from year to year. Other crops that could be grown on the 1154...

Description of the Proposed Action. The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) is entering into an agreement with the Cook Inlet Marine Mammal Council (CIMMC) for the cooperative management of the Cook Inlet (CI) beluga whales under section 119 of the Marine Mammal Protection Act (MMPA) and Public Law 106-553 for the year 2002. The co-management agreement specifies the conditions under which a subsistence harvest on CI beluga whales could be undertaken during the year 2002. The agreement specifies a harvest level of up to two (2) whale strikes. Abundance estimates for the CI beluga whale stock indicated a decline of nearly 50 percent between 1994 and 1998, which caused NMFS to designate the stock as depleted under the MMPA. Federal authority to enter into the co-management agreement for the year 2002 derives from Public Law 106-553, which prohibits the hunting of CI beluga whales except pursuant to a cooperative agreement between NMFS and Alaska Native organizations (ANOs); and Section 119 of the MMPA which allows the Secretary to enter into cooperative agreements with ANOs to conserve marine mammals and provide co-management of subsistence use by Alaska Natives. Because the CI beluga whale stock is depleted, any long-term, Federally-approved management plan that includes harvest is considered a major action subject to the requirements of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). NMFS is separately preparing an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) on conservation actions that include proposed regulations to Federally regulate the subsistence harvest of CI beluga whales by Alaska Natives after 2002 and, thereby, to recover this stock. These regulations and EIS will not be completed prior to the harvest in 2002, and therefore NMFS is completing an Environmental Assessment (EA) on the harvest of [not to exceed] two whales for this single season. The co-management agreement for 2002, and supporting EA, are consistent with agreements and analyses that were completed for previous single season harvests in 2000 and 2001. NMFS evaluated the impact of allowing the harvest of two belugas in 2002 using computer simulations. These simulations indicated that the harvest of two belugas in 2002 would not significantly delay recovery of the stock. NMFS has determined that the harvest of two beluga whales during the year 2002, as specified in the co-management agreement, will not significantly impact the overall quality of the human environment or cause any adverse impacts on species listed under the E...
