Land Management Plan Part 2 Los Padres National Forest Strategy Lands 2 - Non-Recreation Special Use Authorizations Administer special-use authorizations (SUAs) to standard: • Upon termination of SUA restore areas to a specified condition. September 2005 • Administer existing SUAs in threatened, endangered, proposed, candidate, and sensitive species habitats to ensure they avoid or minimize impacts to threatened, endangered, proposed, candidate, and sensitive species and their habitats. • Work with special-use authorization holders to better administer National Forest System land and reduce administrative cost. • Maximize opportunities to co-locate facilities and minimize encumbrance of National Forest System land. • Phase out groundwater and surface water diversion authorizations that adversely affect threatened, endangered, proposed, candidate, and sensitive species. • Work to amend existing authorizations as necessary to provide suitable water flows for threatened, endangered, proposed, candidate, and sensitive species in threatened, endangered, proposed, candidate, and sensitive species habitat that has been degraded by water withdrawals. • Where overhead transmission lines occur in high-use California condor flyways work with utility companies or authorization holders to install high-visibility or avoidance devices and raptor guards on poles and other structures potentially used as perching sites by California condors. • For special-use authorization holders operating within threatened, endangered, proposed, candidate, and sensitive species key and occupied habitats, develop and provide information and education (e.g., workshops, annual meetings) on ways to avoid and minimize effects of their activities on occupied threatened, endangered, proposed, candidate, and sensitive species habitat. • Use signing, barriers, or other suitable measures to protect threatened, endangered, proposed, candidate, and sensitive species, and key and occupied habitats within special-use authorization areas. • Utilize existing designated communication sites as noted in Appendix C.
