Common use of Habitat Enhancement Clause in Contracts

Habitat Enhancement. Enhance and/or restore habitat conditions in designated areas throughout the historic range of Columbia spotted frog. 1. Evaluate Columbia spotted frog habitat at each proposed enhancement site and possible reintroduction sites and assess habitat degradation, presence of nonnatives, disease and other threats. 2. Reduce or remove the identified threats to Columbia spotted frog. 3. Implement habitat enhancements that may include some or all of the following: bank stabilization, enhancement of native vegetation, dredging of springheads, riparian/spring fencing, nonnative removal, and implementing compatible grazing practices. 4. Maintain, restore and augment, where possible, the natural hydrologic characteristics and water quality. a. Increased suitable Columbia spotted frog habitat. b. Reduction of predation and competition risks from nonnative species. c. Reduction of future habitat degradation from erosion and ungulate grazing.
