Duration of the Agreement and Permit. This CCAA will have a duration of 20 years from the date the CCAA is signed by CEHMM and FWS; and may be renewed before it expires. The CCAA will cover Participating Landowners from the date their lands are enrolled until the end of their participation in this CCAA, either through expiration or termination. Should one or both covered species be listed as threatened or endangered, and all other requirements are met, the permit will be issued and all Participating Landowners will be covered from that date until the end of their participation in this CCAA, either through expiration or termination. The duration of participation will be at least 5 years, but can be the full duration of the CCAA. Participation is also renewable with the original conservation commitment, as identified by CEHMM in the CI. Conservation lands will be maintained as suitable LPC and/or SDL habitat for the duration of participation and for as long as the landowner wishes coverage by the section 10(a)(1)(A) enhancement of survival permit. Coverage under the permit will only apply to those Participating Landowners who enroll lands under this CCAA prior to any future effective ESA listing date of the LPC and/or SDL. The permit coverage is for incidental take associated with the landowner’s ongoing land uses that occurred during participation and implementation of conservation on enrolled properties, as long as the conservation agreed upon is being implemented. Any incidental take of LPC and/or SDL resulting from a change in land use that diminishes that conservation lands suitability for will not be covered by the section 10(a)(1)(A) enhancement of survival permit. Future non-enrolled landowners wishing incidental take authorization for the LPC and/or SDL after any future effective ESA listing date, could apply for authorization through the FWS’s Habitat Conservation Plan or Safe Harbor Agreement permitting programs.
Duration of the Agreement and Permit. The duration of this Agreement and site-specific plan will be 20 years from the date upon which all parties have signed it. The permit issued in accordance with this Agreement and site-specific plan will expire on the same date upon which this Agreement expires. Given the probable ground squirrel response time to transplanting and habitat management, the FWS estimates it may take 10 years of implementing the Agreement and site-specific plan to fully reach a net conservation benefit for the species, although some level of benefits will likely occur within two to three years.
