Outline of Quino Recovery Plan - The Xerces Society

IV. IMPLEMENTATION SCHEDULE
The schedule that follows is a summary of actions and estimated costs for the
Quino checkerspot recovery program. It is a guide to meet the objectives of the
draft recovery plan as elaborated in Part II, Step-Down Narrative section. This
schedule indicates task priorities, task numbers, task descriptions, duration of
tasks, responsible agencies, and estimated costs. These actions, when
accomplished, should achieve the recovery objectives. The estimated costs for
many tasks remain to be determined; therefore, total costs listed are lower than
the total required to achieve recovery objectives. Some tasks (e.g., habitat
protection) will benefit multiple listed species in addition to the Quino
checkerspot, so their costs are not wholly attributable to this species. Service
staff salary is not included in cost estimates. Responsible party listings are based
primarily on recent (1997 and later) Quino observation site land ownership data,
jurisdictional authority, and responsibility for road and highway construction.
Cost is not separated by responsible agency, cost distribution is to be determined.
The list of responsible parties is not exhaustive. Any party that is a proponent of
or has authority over projects that affect the Quino checkerspot has some
responsibility under the Endangered Species Act for listed tasks related to their
project.
