Common use of BASELINE DETERMINATION Clause in Contracts

BASELINE DETERMINATION. The Parties understand that the Permittee may enroll a wide variety of non-federal lands that could have a wide degree of baseline conditions. It is understood that baseline determinations will be made at a site-specific level and described in individual CAs to capture each unique situation. Baseline may be determined as numbers/populations of LCT, habitat conditions, or both. Typically, baseline determinations will be based on habitat conditions due to the migratory behavior of the species and the need to reestablish networked populations. Habitat conditions which define baseline will be detailed in each individual CA based on each particular situation and will be based on a variety of conditions such as stream width, riparian vegetation, substrate, etc. Enrollment of non­ federal lands will allow LCT to access many miles of publicly-owned stream habitat for LCT restoration and recovery activities that is currently not useable.
