CONSERVATION AGREEMENT AND STRATEGYConservation Agreement • May 13th, 2014
This amendment to the 2005 LCCAS outlines several additional conservation actions that will be enacted to further address the threats that were identified in the USFWS June 22, 2010 12-month finding (75 FR 35398). This amendment reviewed the most recent least chub population and habitat information and found that the following should ensure continued protection of least chub from identified threats: 1) a Candidate Conservation Agreement with Assurances (CCAA) with private landowners; 2) the purchase of grazing rights on UDWR land; 3) funding for a Population Viability Analysis (PVA) to evaluate wild and introduced populations; 4) nonnative fish management plans; 5) additional fencing and habitat restoration of key sites, 6) maintenance and monitoring of introduced populations and evaluation of how they offset threats; and 7) completion of a bathymetry study of a wild population site.
