Other HCPs As of March 2010, over 650 HCPs have been approved by the USFWS, covering nearly 50,000,000 acres (MSI, 2009). The HCPs highlighted below are a sampling of those pertinent to the Cumberland HCPs. The USFWS Conservation Plans and Agreements Database contains detailed information about these and other approved HCPs throughout the country. HCP Year State Permit Holder Covered Species Covered Activities Relevance to Cumberland HCPs NCFRHCP = Forest Resources HCP CHCP = Cumberland HCP East Contra Costa HCP 2006 California 5 Local Governments and 2 Special Districts Multi-species (including raptors, amphibians, reptiles, bats, plants, and others) Private residential and commercial development and associated public infrastructure projects Similar to the CHCP, the East Contra Costa HCP covers a mosaic of community types and habitats in a rural area that is experiencing rapid population growth. As in the Cumberlands, new residents are being drawn by natural beauty and wildlife, which the HCP maintains and enhances. Etowah Aquatic HCP 2009 Georgia Local Governments 3 Fish Species Urban Development (e.g. stormwater, erosion and sediment control, buffers, utility crossings, etc.) The Etowah watershed is just south of the Cumberlands in Georgia. Species types are similar and some of the covered activities are the same as in the CHCP. International Paper HCP 1991-1993 Alabama Private Timber Company Red Hills Salamander Timber Harvest Timber management practices in this HCP were designed to meet the needs of the red hills salamander. Similarly, timber management practices included in the NCFRHCP incorporated the needs of the green, four-toed, and black mountain salamanders. Washington Department of Natural Resources Forest Practices HCP 1997 Washington State Natural Resources Agency Multi-species (including fish and salamanders) Timber Harvest This HCP contains a focused riparian forest protection and enhancement element, similar to the emphasis on riparian forests in the NCFRHCP. West Fork Timber (Formerly Murray Pacific Corporation) HCP 1993 Washington Private Timber Company Multi-species (including bald eagle, grizzly bear, gray wolf, northern spotted owl, & marbled murrelet) Timber Harvest This was the first multi-species timber HCP developed in the US. As with the North Cumberlands Forest Resources HCP, unique habitats, such as wetlands, ponds, and caves are protected and enhanced to conserve species that rely on these habitats.
