HCP Implementation in Pima County, Arizona Julia Fonseca Pima County Office of Sustainability and Conservation Photo by Aaron Flesch

HCP overview 44 species (down from 55) 30 years / 36,000 acres 404 streamlining Avoidance, minimization and mitigation are already in place

Pima County, Arizona 9,189 Square Miles 85% land is Federal, State or tribal Population: 980,263 Tucson: 6 th poorest city of its size class in US Tucson

Rapid Growth & Development in Eastern Pima County, Arizona

The Sonoran Desert Conservation Plan elements respond to community values: Habitat and Corridors Cultural Resources Riparian Ranch Mountain Parks Pima County Pima County Regional Flood Control District Tohono O’odham Nation U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service City of Tucson Town of Marana Town of Oro Valley Metropolitan Domestic Water District U. S. Bureau of Land Management U. S. Forest Service Environmental Protection Agency Arizona Game and Fish Department National Park Service

Ranch lands define urban form

Habitat and Corridors Element : Habitat and Corridors Element : To ensure the long-term survival of the full spectrum of plants and animals that are indigenous to Pima County through maintaining or improving ecosystem structures and functions necessary for their survival. View from Diamond Bell Ranch 2010

Reserve Design Process

Implemented: From Development Guidelines to 2001 Land Use Plan

: Plan development 2006: Owl delisted 2010: HCP submitted 2012: FWS DEIS

Implemented: Riparian Mitigation Ordinance

Implemented: $165 million in Open Space Acquisitions 225,000 acres under management

Experiment: Ranch Management

Land Management Implemented County mitigation lands have multiple uses for people as well as wildlife.

View from Diamond Bell Ranch, Brian Powell 2010 Other types of mitigation land: Floodprone and In-Lieu Fee programs Developer set-asides Donations Future bond acquisitions Future land exchanges and RPPA acquisitions

Implemented: Cactus Mitigation Bank County-owned land For County projects Established 2002 Banks have a benefit to Pima County, but a landscape approach is better.

Failed Species Restoration Project

Experiment: Removal of Non-native Frogs in Ranch “Frogsheds”

Process Improvement: CIP Impacts

Other Advance Implementation Invasive species management Testing of monitoring protocols Database development Funding: property taxes

NEPA Experiment Public scoping 2000, 2003 County-hosted public process, 7 draft HCPs DEIS published comments 2012

Why advance implementation? Protect habitat before more fragmentation. Success helps sustains political will and citizen support. Implementation creates certainty. Failure shows what is not “practicable”. Opportunity for process improvement before a permit is issued.
