The most complete version assembled of the story of the 56 plants and animals in Pima County that are in need of protection under the SDCP. Three years ago when discussions began about creating a multi-species protection plan, there was no comprehensive inventory of the resource base.
Recommends which of the over 100 vulnerable species of concern in Pima County should be considered for coverage under the County's future permit and further analyze approximately 50 animals and plants as potentially covered species under the multi-species conservation plan.
An introduction to the impact of conservation alternatives on air quality which will be integrated into the land use and conservation plans. The air quality study is summarized in this memorandum.
Provides a detailed description of plants and animals that are being considered as potentially covered under the multi-species program, organized by taxonomic group. Two strong themes emerge when this compilation of species accounts is read together: one is the enormous importance of aquatic and riparian-based habitats to the majority of priority vulnerable species, and the other is the very bleak biological status of the riparian system.
The study generally confirms the trends and impacts identified in the February 2001 study "Air Quality in Pima County," and suggests two types of strategies for maintaining air quality and ensuring compliance with federal air quality standards. Potential funding sources and future legislative considerations are briefly discussed.
