drafting of something as potentially vital to the welfare of an endangered
species as a habitat management plan would seem more logically to fall within
the purview of the Recovery Team itself.
This recovery plan, Like others reviewed by Arizona Game and Fish,
suffers from one other shortcoming. It fails to indicate to any satisfaction
the basis for the cost estimates, e.g. man days of effort, travel costs,
A ~ equipment, etc. It also fails to indicate the financial contribution expected
from each agency. Without such information it will be impossible to budget
for, or receive Commission approval for, activities outlined in the recovery
`plan.
We hope the shortcomings we've drawn attention will be addressed before
the final plan is approved.
Sincerely,
