Title: Areas that can function as LPC reserves should be located within suitable habitat areas.
Text: IV. Recommended Guidelines for New Oil and Gas Leasing in the Isolated Population Area (IPA) / "Carlsbad Area": "4. Additionally, it is recommended in Conservation Strategy 3.2 that two new areas or combinations of areas that can function as LPC reserves and sites for LPC reintroduction be established in the IPA/Carlsbad area. These should be located within predominantly suitable habitat areas large enough to support viable LPC populations and meet other criteria specified in Conservation Strategy 3.2. It is recommended that the WIPP site serve as the location of one such reserve (see Conservation Strategy 4.2). Potash enclaves and private lands that may be available from willing sellers should be considered as a second possible reserve location. Once established, further leasing with surface occupancy would be deferred in reserve areas."
