Page 29, Habitat Management Plan farrative: Preparation of HMP's
will depend on agency's capabilities and funding. Our Cedar
City District plans, in the near future (FY78-79), to develop the
E 5 Beaver Dam Wash HMP which would provide for the majority of
woundfin habitat. BLM could be the lead agency for developing
the HMP's, but state and other federal agency participation would
be mandatory since fish species are present. BLM could not
propose and implement programs on private lands.
Page 30, Item 151: The last sentence in the paragraph would be
E 6 better worded, "Section 7 consultation requirements must be
pointed out to all agencies."
Page 35-37, Part III table, it is not clear in this table if
other concerned agencies under cooperators are expected to con-
D 6 tribute funding or if Fish and Widlife Service will bear the total
expense. This should be clarified in the narrative.
Page 36, Part III, Item 141: BLM or other federal agencies
should be inserted into the Lead Responsibility column if this
is what is alluded to item 144: Target date for one HMP should
be FY79; for the second HMP if needed, probably FY80; funding
cost per unit would probably be $6,000 or $12,000 total. Budget
E 7 appropriations for FY78 do not make it possible. for us to allocate
funds for any itemized in FY78. Hopefully, our wildlife program
appropriations will increase in future years.
We appreciate the opportunity to review this draft plan and hope our
comments will assist you in finalizing the plan. Please continue to
keep us informed on the status of this plan and field operations so that
we can continue to plan for and participate in this recovery effort.
