Status reports containing more detailed information about the priority conservation areas of each species. The first summary provides a view from the technical perspective of how the biological reserve has been assembled. The second summary provides a view from the historical and process perspective of how the biological reserve has been assembled.

Provides an overview of the issues related to monitoring the 36 species proposed for coverage under the forthcoming Section 10 permit to the United States Fish and Wildlife Service. By integrating the requirements for MSCP compliance and effectiveness monitoring with the challenges inherent in single-species monitoring, this document seeks a balance between species-specific monitoring and other habitat, ecosystem and threats-based measures (parameters). By designing such a program, Pima County will be in a better position to anticipate and adjust management actions for the conservation of covered species and the ecosystems that support them.

Acquisition of this property in northeastern Pima County will prevent development of this property, conserve an important tributary to the San Pedro River, conserve riparian habitat associated with an intermittent stream and springs, and further goals of the Sonoran Desert Conservation Plan and Multi-Species Habitat Conservation Plan. The acquisition is ideally located to expand the emerging reserve system in the San Pedro watershed, which is anchored by the County's A7 Ranch, and complemented by the existing Buehman Canyon Preserve. This report provides preliminary biological and cultural information on this acquisition. Additional biological and cultural resource information will be available after County staff and consultants complete surveys of the property.
