Ruhl suggests that phase two glc\\ out of <br />the 1982 amendments' authorization of "incidental take" per- <br />mits for private actors in ESA section 10.85 One of section <br />10's requirements is a "habitat conservation plan."8G Accord- <br />ing to Ruhl, "the section 10 process has taken hold in states <br />such as California, Texas, Nevada, and Florida in the form of <br />huge regionalized extravaganzas covering tens of thousands <br />of acres of prime undeveloped urban and suburban land."87 <br />Ruhl further contends that these habitat conservation plans <br />have required developers to set aside "vast conservation <br />tracts" and have limited growth on a region-wide scale, tak- <br />ing the ESA to new heights of controversy. 88 <br />The third and current phase of ESA enforcement "is to <br />extend ESA jurisdiction to control large-scale resource man- <br />agement decisions."89 The watershed cases which ushered in <br />this new era were the Sierra Club Legal Defense Fund's <br />(SCLDF) efforts to restrict logging of old growth forest in or- <br />der to protect the northern spotted owl. 90 The spotted owl is <br />a classic "indicator species" in that it only nests in old growth, <br /> <br />87). <br />nee of DDT in the en- <br />ling problem.

Under 16 U.S.C. ~ 1539(a)(2)(A): <br />No permit may be issued by the Secretary authorizing any tak- <br />ing referred to in paragraph (l)(B) [incidental taking] unless the <br />applicant therefor submits to the Secretary a conservation plan <br />that specifies- <br />(i) the impact which will likely result from such taking; <br />(ii) what steps the applicant will take to minimize and miti- <br />gate such impacts, and the funding that will be available <br />to implement such steps; <br />(iii) what alternative actions to such taking the applicant con- <br />sidered and the reasons why such alternatives are not be- <br />ing utilized; and <br />(iv) such other measures that the Secretary may require as be- <br />ing necessary or appropriate for purposes of the plan. <br /> <br />ause, despite the <br />1972, concentra- <br />nmonly exceeded <br />n of freshwater <br />ated agricultural <br />m reserooir of T- <br />:in for decades to <br /> <br />tionale, see Jeb Boyt, <br />ity Under NEPA and <br />PACE ENVTL.
