Operating Conservation Program definition

Operating Conservation Program means those conservation management activities which are expressly agreed upon and described in a conservation plan or its implementing agreement, if any, and which are to be undertaken for the affected species when implementing an approved conservation plan, including measures to respond to changed circumstances.
Operating Conservation Program means the totality of take avoidance, minimization, and mitigation measures, responses to changed circumstances, monitoring and reporting measures, conservation measures, and other implementation measures, provided for under the TU MSHCP.
Operating Conservation Program means the totality of the conservation and management measures provided for under the RPV NCCP Subarea Plan to minimize, mitigate and monitor the impacts of take of the Covered Species, as described in Sections 4 through 6 of the RPV NCCP Subarea Plan.

  • These multiple uses of the Plan are important to note because some of the specific measures and level of mitigation provided under the Operating Conservation Program would not necessarily be required to satisfy federal or state requirements if Green Diamond were only seeking authorization for take.

  • The purpose of the Effectiveness Monitoring Measures is to track the success of the Operating Conservation Program in relation to the Plan’s biological goals and objectives and provide the basis for the Adaptive Management Measures.

  • Individual components of the Operating Conservation Program and, in some instances, the program as a whole, also provide the basis for satisfying non-ESA legal requirements related to aquatic resources and moving forward on voluntary issues.

  • In addition to satisfying ESA requirements regarding authorization for incidental take, the Operating Conservation Program presented in Section 6.2 of this AHCP/CCAA is designed to address other significant, closely related issues such as water quality and cumulative wildlife impacts.
