Jump-Start and Stay Sample Clauses

Jump-Start and Stay. Ahead Provisions The SSHCP requires and the Implementing Entity will ensure that progress toward assembling the SSHCP Preserve System will always stay ahead of Covered Activity impacts. This will ensure that Preserve assembly will keep pace with development and that the Implementing Entity is making steady progress toward assembling the entire SSHCP Preserve System. This will satisfy California Fish and Game Code Section 2081(b), which requires that impacts to state-listed species be fully mitigated in advance of the impacts. This will also satisfy the federal ESA, which requires that Habitat Conservation Plans (HCPs) minimize and mitigate the impacts of taking “to the maximum extent practicable,” and requires that the taking “will not appreciably reduce the likelihood of the survival and recovery of any Covered Species in the wild” (ESA Section 10(a)(2)(B)(ii)). In preparing permit decision documents, USFWS will consider whether the mitigation proposed under the SSHCP is scientifically and rationally related to the impacts of the proposed taking, and will consider temporal losses resulting from the time of impacts relative to the time that the conservation benefits of the mitigation are in place.
