Printed on recycled paper • October 2013 Draft Programmatic Environmental Impact Statement for Revision of the Coronado National Forest Land and Resource Management Plan Cochise, Graham, Pima, Pinal, and Santa Cruz Counties, Arizona Hidalgo County, New Mexico Lead Agency: USDA Forest Service Responsible Official: Jim Upchurch, Forest Supervisor Coronado National Forest 300 West Congress Street Tucson, Arizona 85701 For Information Contact: Jennifer Ruyle Natural Resources and Planning Staff Officer Coronado National Forest 300 West Congress Street Tucson, Arizona 85701 Phone: (520) 388-8351 Abstract: The U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Service, Coronado National Forest prepared this programmatic environmental impact statement to disclose the potential effects of a proposed action to revise the “Coronado National Forest Land and Resource Management Plan” (1986, as amended). The Coronado comprises 1,783,639 acres, most of which are located in southeastern Arizona, and 70,729 acres of which are in southwestern New Mexico. This document reports the results of an effects analysis of management direction in a no action alternative (i.e., the existing forest plan); the proposed action (i.e., the draft revised forest plan) and two alternatives that specify the same management direction as the proposed action with the following exceptions: alternative 1 proposes 255,448 more acres be designated as wilderness; and alternative 2 proposes 51,081 more acres of lands to be managed for motorized recreation, provides limited direction regarding managing resources during climate change, and recommends no new special areas for designation. The proposed action is the preferred alternative. It is important that reviewers provide their comments at such times and in such a way that they are useful to the Agency’s preparation of the EIS. Therefore, please submit your comments prior to the close of the comment period and clearly state your concerns and contentions. The submission of timely and specific comments may affect your eligibility to participate in subsequent administrative or judicial reviews. Comments received in response to this solicitation, including names, addresses, and other personally identifiable information about those who comment, will be part of the public record for this proposed action. Comments submitted anonymously will be accepted and considered; however, anonymous comments will not provide the respondent with standing to participate in subsequent administrative review or judicial review. Submit Comments to: Coronado Forest Plan Revision P.O. Box 1919 Sacramento, CA 95812 (916) 456-6724 [email protected] (Subject: Coronado National Forest, Plan Revision EIS) Comment Deadline: A 90-day public review period will begin on the day after publication of a notice of availability of the draft EIS in the Federal Register by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. Summary The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), Forest Service, Coronado National Forest (“Coronado” or “the Forest”), prepared this environmental impact statement (EIS) to comply with the environmental review and disclosure requirements of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of 1969 (Public Law (P. L.) 91-190). The EIS reports the potential impacts of a proposed action to revise the “Coronado National Forest Land and Resource Management Plan” (“forest plan” 1986, as amended). The draft revised forest plan was developed according to provisions of the 1982 Planning Rule, as authorized in transition direction in the 2012 Forest Service planning rule.1 The Coronado National Forest covers 1,783,639 acres, most of which are in southeastern Arizona; a small portion of the forest (70,729 acres) is located in the Peloncillo Mountains of southwestern New Mexico. This EIS discloses the potential effects of a no action alternative; a draft revised plan (proposed action); alternative 1, which provides the same management direction as the proposed action and recommends additional forest land for wilderness designation; and alternative 2, which provides most of the same management direction as the proposed action, with the exception that it contains limited direction regarding management of disturbances resulting from climate change; recommends no new special areas designations (e.g., wilderness, research natural areas, zoological-botanical areas); and allocates forest lands specifically for motorized recreational use, including related facilities. Three alternatives were considered but dismissed from further consideration: (1) no grazing, (2) recommendation of 31 areas for wilderness designation, and (3) recommendation of parcels that do not meet the needs for change for designation as wilderness. Comparison of Alternatives and Environmental Effects Table 6 through table 11 in chapter 2 provide a comprehensive summary of the differences in general plan direction among the alternatives as well as a detailed comparison of their potential environmental effects. For a full description of effects, refer to chapter 3 of the EIS. 1 36 CFR 219.17(b)(3) Draft Programmatic EIS for Revision of the Coronado National Forest Land and Resource Management Plan i Contents Chapter 1.

Graptopetalum is member of a group of taxa restricted to North America, one of the centers of diversity of Crassulaceae; however, their phylogenetic relationships are not yet understood. Nineteen species of Graptopetalum and 24 species from nine other genera of Crassulaceae were sampled for use in three separate parsimony analyses: ITS alone, ETS alone, and a combined nuclear 1 plastid DNA analysis using all four gene regions. The ETS data set had the highest number of parsimony-informative sites, about 30% more than in ITS, but the most fully resolved tree resulted when the four DNA regions were combined. Only four subclades of the tree received moderate to strong bootstrap support, one of which includes all species of Graptopetalum having a single whorl of stamens. However, Graptopetalum is not monophyletic. Instead, Tacitus bellus and select species of Cremnophila, Sedum, and Echeveria are interspersed among species of Graptopetalum and show evidence of grouping according to geographical range of distribution more so than habit or ¯oral morphology.

ACTION: Notice of petition finding and initiation of status review. SUMMARY: We, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service), announce a 90-day finding on a petition to list Graptopetalum bartramii (Bartram stonecrop) and Pectis imberbis (beardless chinch weed) as endangered or threatened under the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (Act), and to designate critical habitat. Based on our review, we find that the petition presents substantial scientific or commercial information indicating that listing Bartram stonecrop and beardless chinch weed may be warranted. Therefore, with the publication of this notice, we will initiate a review of the status of these species to determine if listing Bartram stonecrop or beardless chinch weed, or both, is warranted. To ensure that our status review is comprehensive, we request scientific and commercial data and other information regarding these species. Based on the status review, we will issue a 12-month finding on the petition, which will address whether the petitioned action is warranted, as provided in section 4(b)(3)(B) of the Act.

We thank Angela Anders, Southwest Regional Office, for reviews of drafts.

Species status assessment report for Graptopetalum bartramii (Bartram’s stonecrop). United States Fish and Wildlife Service Arizona Ecological Services Office, Tucson, Arizona. 117 pp. + 2 appendices. iii Species Status Assessment Report for Graptopetalum bartramii Bartram’s stonecrop Prepared by the United States Fish and Wildlife Service EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This species status assessment reports the results of the comprehensive status review for Graptopetalum bartramii (Bartram’s stonecrop) through an analytical approach assessing the species needs, current status, and future status of a species using the best available information, and provides a thorough account of the species’ overall viability. For the purpose of this assessment, we generally define viability as the ability of G. bartramii to sustain populations in natural systems over time. The SSA Framework uses the conservation biology principles of resiliency, redundancy, and representation (collectively known as the “3Rs”) as a lens to evaluate the current and future condition of the species. Graptopetalum bartramii is a succulent of the Crassulaceae or stonecrop family.
