(2) emergency fish and wildlife cx)nservation measures needed to 

 protect or conserve environmental value (s) of the tract (s); 



(3) additioial, long-term fish and wildlife conservation 

 measures needed to meet EWIA mandates to conserve, 

 protect, and enhance Inportant Resources and land uses 

 such as: ^ . 



(a) the need for wetland protection and enhancement 

 actions in response to Executive Order 11990. 

 In this regard the Service will assist FmHA by 

 identifying inportant wetland protection 

 opportunities and by formulating and inplenenting 

 or sponsoring the inplementation by a third party 

 (e.g., IXicks Unlimited) of mutually acceptable 

 plans for wetland restoration/enhancement; 



(b) recommended lease or deed restrictions needed to 

 protect Inportant Resources and land uses (e.g., 

 prior to sale the deed would be restricted to 

 protect wetlands or f loodplain habitats from 

 conversion to other land uses) ; or 



(c) easements, restrictions, or the equivalent to be 

 considered for grant or sale to units of local 

 or State government or private non-profit 

 organizations for coiservatioi purposes; 



(4) identification of management, monitoring and/or 

 enforcement entities for reccranended conservation 

 measures, easements, and lease/deed restrictions; 



D. when high resource values warrant retention of a property in 

 public ownership, the Service may reccranand that FmHA pursue all 

 available avenues to grant or sell easements, restrictions, 

 development rights, or their equivalents to State or local 

 agencies or private non-profit organizations. The Service may 

 also indicate a desire to bid and acquire the property itself 

 should EYnBA declare that prcperty surplus and offer it for sale. 

 In order for such reccnmendations to be feasibly considered by 

 RnHA, the Service field staff will consult with FinHA to gain an 

 understanding of RmHA's prc^rty transfer authorities, 

 priorities, and procedures; and 



E. Service reccnmendations will be submitted to, and considered 

 by, the County supervisor prior to any suitable/surplus 

 determinations, or if such determinations have already been 

 made, they shall be ccxisidered upcxi receipt. For those 

 properties currently in inventory, fish and wildlife 



conservation measures will be developed prior to resale V
