7.0 Prepare a long-term management plan and cooperative management agreement for the greenback cutthroat trout. Prior to delisting the greenback cutthroat trout, a long-term management plan and cooperative agreement for the management of greenback cutthroat trout will need to be prepared. This plan should be approved and utilized by all participating agencies (Colorado Division of Wildlife, U.S. Bureau of Land Management, U.S. Forest Service, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, and National Park Service) having proprietorship. over the populations of type A greenbacks. The 1992 Amendments to the Endangered Species Act require delisted species to be monitored for a period of five years following their delisting. A monitoring program describing how the greenback will be monitored after delisting will be included in the long-term management plan. 7.1 Prepare a long term-management elan. A management plan should be prepared that will incorporate all the information obtained through completion of the recovery plan tasks. All agencies will need to maintain records on their recovery activities and provide pertinent information in development of the management plan. The purpose of this management plan is to ensure that adequate regulatory mechanisms and management programs remain in existence after delisting to ensure that adequate populations of greenback cutthroat trout are maintained. The plan will need to provide pertinent biological and management information on the greenback for use in maintaining greenback populations. It must identify how populations will be monitored to document the status and condition of populations and habitats, and should identify conditions that would warrant relisting the greenback. The plan should also address interagency cooperation and agency responsibilities and cooperative agreements established under Task 7.2. The plan should be developed before the delisting of the greenback is proposed. The plan should be reviewed and approved by all parties with jurisdiction over greenback trout populations before the greenback is delisted. The plan should be written based on the following outline: I. Life History and Ecology 33 I~ L~ 1 1 ii n J
