Further habitat suitability analysis should be conducted in the IPA. |

IV. Recommended Guidelines for New Oil and Gas Leasing in the Isolated Population Area (IPA) / "Carlsbad Area": "2. The group recommends that further habitat suitability analysis be conducted in the IPA, focusing on the 17 areas previously identified by the Carlsbad Field Office as having
habitat that may be of value to LPC recovery, and on areas where LPCs have recently been sighted. This analysis should be completed by January 1, 2007, or sooner. Agencies and
industry should work together to expedite the habitat analysis, and to ensure that sufficient manpower and resources are available to meet the target deadline. Focus areas should be prioritized for reclamation potential, and for potential to maintain re-established LPC populations over time. An advisory committee of stakeholder
representatives should be formed to work with and offer input to BLM regarding prioritization of areas, and subsequent management recommendations. Areas determined
to be lacking high conservation value should be eliminated from further consideration for special management." |
