Procedure for partial relinquishment Clause Samples

Procedure for partial relinquishment. If Plum Creek wishes to relinquish the Permits as to any, but less than all of the specified Covered Species, specified Covered Lands (if the lands are disposed of consistent with and as provided for in Section 5.0 of the NFHCP or the lands to be disposed of constitute all of the Covered Lands within a Planning Area Basin, as defined in the NFHCP), or specified Covered Activities, at any time during the term of the Permits, Plum Creek will provide notice of its intent to do so to the Services at least 60 days prior to the planned partial relinquishment. As analyzed in the NFHCP, the Services find that the mitigation measures provided in the NFHCP will result in Plum Creek having fully and continuously minimized and mitigated the effects of the Covered Activities on each of the Covered Species before or as those effects arise, throughout the term of the Permits. Accordingly, the Services find that Plum Creek will have fully and completely satisfied its commitments for the minimization and mitigation of the effects of the Covered Activities on each of the Covered Species upon the partial relinquishment of the Permits, at any and all times after their issuance, and Plum Creek shall have no post-relinquishment mitigation or other obligation with respect to the Covered Lands, Covered Activities, or Covered Species as to which the Permits are relinquished.
