October 1, 2003 through September 30, 2004 Background NFGEL was established in 1988 as part of the National Forest System of the USDA-Forest Service. The focus of the lab is to address genetic conservation and management of all plant species using a variety of laboratory techniques including DNA analyses. NFGEL services are provided to managers within the Forest Service, other government agencies, and non- government organizations for assessing and monitoring genetic diversity. Purpose of Laboratory The purpose of the Laboratory is to analyze molecular genetic markers (protein and DNA) in plant material submitted by Forest Service employees and those from other cooperating entities. NFGEL provides baseline genetic information, determines the effect of management on the genetic resource, supports genetic improvement program, and contributes information in the support of conservation and restoration programs, especially those involving native and TES (threatened, endangered, and sensitive) species. Alignment to National Strategic Plan for FY04-08 NFGEL’s work aligns to the following National Strategic Plan measures: 1. Goal 1 (Reduce risks from catastrophic wildland fire) 2. Goal 2 (Reduce the impacts from invasive species). 3. Goal 4 (Help meet energy resource needs) 4. Goal 5 (Improve watershed condition) 5.

The BRP carries a series of mitigative project obligations defined in Appendix B of that plan as the Public Facilities Implementation Plan (PFIP). The PFIP, which serves as the baseline CIP for the reuse plan, is to be re-visited annually by the FORA Board to assure that required projects are implemented in a timely way to meet development needs. The PFIP was developed as a four-phase program spanning a twenty-year development horizon (1996-2015) and was based upon the best at-the-time forecasts of development patterns anticipated in concert with market absorption schedules for the area.

  • Recovery Plan for the Pacific Coast Population of the Western Snowy
    Recovery Plan for the Pacific Coast Population of the Western Snowy Plover (Charadrius alexandrinus nivosus) Volume 2: Appendices California/Nevada Operations Office U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Sacramento, California APPENDIX A LOCATIONS OF CURRENT OR HISTORICAL SNOWY PLOVER BREEDING AND WINTERING AREAS The following maps (Figures A-1 through A-7) show the general locations of current or historical western snowy plover breeding or wintering areas on the U.S. Pacific coast within each recovery unit. The breeding and wintering locations and recovery units include only the coastal beaches, estuaries, gravel bars and salt ponds that provide western snowy plover habitat; inland areas of counties are illustrated on Figures A-1 through A-7 solely for reference. Location numbers on the maps are referenced to the numbers in parentheses shown after the location names found in the left-hand column of Table B-1 (Appendix B) and Table C-1 (Appendix C). Detailed maps of each of these locations are given in Appendix L. A-1 A-2 A-3 A-4 A-5 A-6 A-7 A-8 APPENDIX B INFORMATION ON SNOWY PLOVER BREEDING AND WINTERING LOCATIONS This appendix provides information on numbers of breeding and wintering snowy plovers at specific locations along the U.S. Pacific coast (Table B-1). These locations are important for the recovery of the Pacific coast population of the western snowy plover. It is possible that locations not currently identified in Table B-1 may in the future contribute to meeting population targets within recovery units. Locations are mapped in Appendix A (Figures A-1 through A-7) and in greater detail in Appendix L.
