The necessary covenants, easements, leases or other protective tools for habitat on private and SITLA lands will be secured through cooperative assistance and funding efforts provided by all interested parties, including:

Utah Department of Agriculture and Food (UDAF)
◦ Utah Department of Natural Resources (DNR)
◦ U.S. Department of Agriculture - Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS)
◦ U.S. Department of Agriculture – Forest Service
◦ U.S. Department of Interior – Bureau of Land Management (BLM)
◦ U.S. Department of the Interior - Fish and Wildlife Service
◦ Private sources – industry and non-governmental organizations
◦ Other

 

 

 

The PLPCO will coordinate the efforts of BLM, Forest Service, Fish and Wildlife Service, state agencies, local government and others to accomplish the purposes of this Plan. The PLPCO will convene a Working Group with membership including the DNR, UDAF, SITLA, BLM, USFS, NRCS, FWS, and others as needed. The Working Group will meet as often as needed to coordinate the implementation of this Plan. The Working Group will initiate and coordinate the efforts of necessary technical teams to assure scientific and monitoring information is shared by all management agencies, and that efforts to achieve the necessary conservation goals are progressing

 

 

 

 

The existing LAWGs have functioned well over the years, and provide the proper forum for the assessment of the nature and scope of localized threats which may affect the species. The LAWGs will, under the management supervision of Utah State University, assist the coordination efforts of PLPCO, defined in Section 4.2 above, by providing information concerning the effects of local disturbance on the species. In addition, the LAWGs will 1) make recommendations for projects to improve or enhance habitat or opportunity areas, 2) make recommendations for voluntary agreements on private, SITLA or county lands to benefit the species, and 3) make recommendations for conservation of the species on state and federal land as part of the implementation of this Plan.

 

 

 

 

Provisions Based on information obtained from the DWR and the ongoing LAWG process, (which is based on peer-reviewed and observational science), the following threats have been identified for greater sage-grouse and habitat in Utah as those of the greatest concern statewide. It is crucial to note that not all of these threats exist in each of the eleven SGMAs. These potential threats are presented in a non-hierarchical order. In all cases, evaluation of disturbance due to the listed threats should be addressed through the Management Protocol discussed in Part 6.0 below. The management provisions listed below to address threats to the species should be reviewed if new research demonstrates a modification is necessary. It will be necessary to allocate sufficient resources to fully address habitat loss and degradation in the next ten years.

 

 

 

 

Habitat loss due to fire and replacement of (burned) native vegetation by invasive plants is the single greatest threat to greater sage-grouse in Utah. However, fires ignited by natural events and human activities are beyond the control of human planning efforts. While unscheduled fires may occur, response to fire can have a large impact on the severity of the effects, especially over time as rehabilitation or restoration continues. The Governor has established a committee to 12 develop a collaborative process to protect the health and welfare of Utahns and our lands by reducing the size and frequency of catastrophic fires. This committee is operating under the direction of the Commissioner of Agriculture and Food. Implementation of this Plan will coordinate needs and efforts related to sage-grouse with this committee.

 

 

 

Fire by natural ignition should be addressed as a serious threat, and prescribed fire should only be used at higher elevations and in a manner designed prescriptively to benefit greater sagegrouse. Immediate, proactive means to reduce or eliminate the spread of invasive species, particularly cheatgrass, after a wildfire, is a high priority. All federal, state and local governmental agencies, and other interested parties, should implement the following:

 

 

 

Create and implement a statewide fire agency agreement(s) that will eliminate jurisdictional boundaries and allow for immediate response to natural fire. These should include fire suppression actions recommended locally, including, but not limited to

a) first strike agreements that allow aggressive fire control on an all-land jurisdictional basis;

b) allocation of resources to maintain enhanced abilities of all fire agencies to combat ignitions in SGMAs;

c) allocation of resources to immediately commence restoration of habitats impacted by wildfire by all responsible agencies; and

d) removal or establishment of waiver provisions for procedural barriers that may impact the ability of responsible agencies to respond to wildfire with effective reclamation or rehabilitation, such as federal raptor stipulations, cultural assessments, and the like

 

 

 

Amend land management provisions which restrict the use of non-native species on federal lands to allow use of fire-retardant vegetation that will buffer areas of high quality greater sagegrouse habitat from catastrophic fire.

 

 

Focus research efforts on effective reclamation and restoration of landscapes altered by wildfire, and provide adequate funding to do so.

 

 

Conduct effective research into controlling fire size and protecting remaining greater sagegrouse areas that are adjacent to high-risk cheatgrass areas.

 

 

Consider the use of prescriptive grazing to specifically reduce fire size and intensity on all types of landownership, where appropriate. This could be particularly effective in areas where cheatgrass is encroaching on sagebrush habitat. This will require cooperation and coordination among different land managers and owners and livestock owners. In some cases feed supplementation and water hauling may need to be utilized to obtain the desired results.
