    Location – Pinal County, east of Superior Oak Flat Acres – 2,422 The Oak Flat parcel and surrounding lands include approximately 2,422 acres of Tonto National Forest lands intermingled with private lands owned by Resolution Copper. Unpatented mining claims staked as early as 1917 cover this suitable nesting place for birds of prey, and bats may inhabit parcel except for 760 acres that were withdrawn from mineral some of the historic mine shafts existing in the area. Protection entry through executive order during the Eisenhower of these important features is part of the planning process for Administration. These 2,422 acres of federal land, which include the Resolution Copper mine. Specific language in the bill calls the withdrawal area, would be traded to Resolution Copper in the for a management plan and significant limitations on surface land exchange for more than 5,000 acres of high-value uses within the easement area. This includes appropriate conservation lands owned by the company in various Arizona levels of non-motorized public access and use and other locations. measures to protect the open space and conservation values of Apache Leap. When the ownership of this parcel transfers to Resolution Copper, access to some Oak Flat recreational sites will be limited or lost. • To protect public safety, rock climbing and bouldering activities This will include 16 campsites that are located on about 50 acres ultimately will need to be relocated.

Earl Stewart Forest Supervisor Coconino National Forest 1824 South Thompson Street Flagstaff, Arizona 86001-2529 RE: Revised Biological Opinion for the Chiricahua leopard frog on the Fossil Creek Range Allotment Dear Mr. Stewart: Thank you for your request to reinitiate formal consultation with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) pursuant to section 7 of the Endangered Species Act of 1973 (16 U.S.C. 1531- 1544), as amended (ESA or Act). Your request was dated February 9, 2012, and received by us on February 13, 2012. This consultation concerns the possible effects of livestock grazing and management activities on the Fossil Creek Range Allotment (FCRA) located on the Red Rock Ranger District in Yavapai County, Arizona. The Forest Service has determined that the proposed action may affect the threatened Chiricahua leopard frog (Lithobates {=Rana} chiricahuensis) and its designated critical habitat. In January 2012, the U.S. District Court of Arizona (No. CV 10-330 TUC AWT) found that our February 26, 2010, Final Biological Opinion on the Fossil Creek Allotment Plan (USFWS 2010, consultation number 22410-2007-F-0197) and accompanying incidental take statement did not satisfy the requirements of the ESA in analyzing effects on the Chiricahua leopard frog. The other species’ effects analyses and determinations, as described in the 2010 biological opinion, continue to be valid and we are not revisiting those determinations in this document.
