[QUOTE="KWJams, post: 202826, member: 19939"] We, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service), propose to designate critical habitat pursuant to the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (Act), for Cirsium loncholepis (La Graciosa thistle), Eriodictyon capitatum (Lompoc yerba santa), and Deinandra increscens ssp. villosa [= Hemizonia increscens ssp. villosa] (Gaviota tarplant). Approximately 27,046 hectares (ha) (66,830 acres (ac)) in San Luis Obispo and Santa Barbara Counties, California, are proposed for designation of critical habitat. Critical habitat receives protection from destruction or adverse modification through required consultation under section 7 of the Act with regard to actions carried out, funded, or authorized by a Federal agency. Section 4 of the Act requires us to consider economic and other relevant impacts when specifying any particular area as critical habitat. We solicit data and comments from the public on all aspects of this proposal, including data on economic and other impacts of the designation. We may revise this proposal prior to final designation to incorporate or address new information received during the comment period. The stretch of coast between Pismo Dunes State Preserve and Point Sal has recently been the focus of a regional conservation planning effort spearheaded by The Nature Conservancy (TNC) (TNC n.d.). They consider this area, referred to as the Guadalupe-Nipomo Dunes, to be one of only four out of the thirteen dune areas in California that remain relatively natural and undisturbed. Their vision document includes a four-point plan that calls for: (1) Protection of specific parcels that support floodplain habitat, the Unocal Guadalupe Oil Field, the dune scrub lands east of the State Vehicular Recreation Area, and areas where dune margins interface with agricultural and ranching lands. This area overlaps in large part with one of the proposed critical habitat units in this rule. Other measures call for: (2) ensuring the health of the dune ecosystem through eradication of non-native species, restoration of damaged areas, management of sensitive resources, and maintaining ecologic processes such as sand movement; (3) enhancement of visitor services; and (4) community outreach and education programs (TNC n.d.).
