Section § 1955

Kinikilala ng batas na ito na ang pagbabago ng klima at paglaki ng populasyon ng tao sa California ay nagbabago ng mga tirahan at nagpipilit sa wildlife na lumipat. Ang pagtaas ng temperatura, sunog sa kagubatan, at pagbabago ng pag-ulan ay naglilipat ng mga tirahan ng hayop sa iba't ibang lugar, habang ang pagpapaunlad at paggamit ng lupa ay nagpipira-piraso sa mga espasyong ito, na nagbabanta sa kaligtasan ng species.

Binibigyang-diin ng batas ang kahalagahan ng pagpapanatili ng konektibidad ng tirahan at mga koridor ng wildlife upang suportahan ang paglipat ng species at genetic diversity. Mahalaga rin ang konektibidad para mabawasan ang mga banggaan ng wildlife-sasakyan, na naglalagay sa panganib sa parehong hayop at tao.

Sinasabi ng batas ang layunin na palawakin ang mga umiiral na programa upang makatulong sa paglikha ng mga mitigation credit na nagtataguyod ng konektibidad ng wildlife, na nagbibigay-diin sa pangangailangan para sa aksyon ng lehislatura upang suportahan ang mga inisyatibong ito.

Ang Lehislatura ay nakatuklas at nagdedeklara ng lahat ng sumusunod:

(a) Nagbabago ang klima ng California. Ang pagtaas ng temperatura, pagdami ng dalas at tindi ng matitinding pangyayari tulad ng tagtuyot at sunog sa kagubatan, pagbabago ng kondisyon ng karagatan, at paglipat ng mga pattern ng pag-ulan ay nagdudulot ng banta sa wildlife ng California. Ang mga pagbabagong ito ay naglilipat ng mga saklaw ng tirahan ng maraming species sa California, na nangangailangan sa mga species na ito na lumipat sa iba't ibang latitude o altitude upang makahanap ng angkop na tirahan na kinakailangan upang mabuhay.

(b) Nagbabago rin ang paggamit ng lupa habang patuloy na lumalaki ang populasyon ng estado. Ang pagbabago at pagkapira-piraso ng tirahan ay nagpipilit sa maraming species sa California na lumipat sa paghahanap ng kapalit na tirahan, at nanganganib din ang patuloy na kaligtasan ng mga species sa pamamagitan ng pagkompromiso sa genetic diversity, bukod sa iba pang mga bagay.

(c) Nawawalan ng kakayahan ang wildlife ng California na gumalaw at lumipat habang ang pagbabago ng tirahan at itinayong imprastraktura ay nakakagambala sa tirahan ng species at pinuputol ang mga koridor ng migrasyon.

(d) Ang konektibidad ng tirahan at mga koridor ng paglipat ng wildlife ay mahalaga sa patuloy na kaligtasan ng maraming species sa California. Ang kanilang kahalagahan ay lalago lamang habang ang wildlife ng California ay lalong lumilipat bilang tugon sa pagbabago ng klima at nagreresultang paglipat sa pagiging angkop ng tirahan.

(e) Ang konektibidad ng tirahan ay kinakailangan din upang mabawasan ang mga banggaan ng wildlife-sasakyan, na naglalagay sa mga tao at wildlife sa panganib ng pinsala o kamatayan.

(f) Ang departamento ay may ilang umiiral na programa na maaaring gamitin upang itaguyod ang konektibidad ng tirahan. Layunin ng Lehislatura na palawakin, o linawin, ang dalawa sa mga programang ito, Chapter 7.9 (simula sa Section 1797) at Chapter 9 (simula sa Section 1850), upang mapadali ang paglikha at pagpapalabas ng mga mitigation credit para sa mga aksyon na nagpapabuti sa konektibidad ng wildlife.

Section § 1956

Esta sección define términos clave utilizados al hablar de la conservación de la vida silvestre y los créditos de mitigación. Un "crédito de mitigación compensatoria" es un crédito que ayuda a cumplir con los requisitos legales para compensar los impactos ambientales. La "durabilidad a largo plazo" implica tener un plan claro y aprobado por el departamento para mantener y financiar un proyecto de conectividad de vida silvestre hasta que el sitio impactado recupere su salud ecológica. También enfatiza la financiación para la durabilidad de tales acciones. "Proteger permanentemente" implica asegurar la tierra a través de una servidumbre de conservación o protección similar para garantizar que los hábitats estén salvaguardados para siempre, junto con financiación perpetua para su mantenimiento. Finalmente, una "acción de conectividad de vida silvestre" se refiere a esfuerzos como cruces de carreteras específicos para animales que mejoran los enlaces de hábitat y apoyan el movimiento y la reproducción de la vida silvestre.

Para los propósitos de este capítulo, se aplican los siguientes términos:

(a) “Crédito de mitigación compensatoria” significa un crédito que puede ser utilizado para cumplir, total o parcialmente, los requisitos de mitigación bajo la ley federal, estatal o local aplicable.

(b) “Durabilidad a largo plazo” significa hacer ambas de las siguientes cosas:

(1) Proporcionar un plan, aprobado por escrito por el departamento, que asegure el éxito a largo plazo, el mantenimiento, la reparación y la conservación de una acción de conectividad de vida silvestre. Si la acción de conectividad de vida silvestre se utiliza para crear uno o más créditos de mitigación conforme a este capítulo, el plan deberá asegurar que la acción de conectividad de vida silvestre permanezca en vigor hasta que, como mínimo, el sitio de los impactos ambientales sea devuelto a las condiciones ecológicas previas al impacto.

(2)

(A) Proporcionar financiación segura y a largo plazo para la implementación del plan desarrollado conforme al párrafo (1) en una forma aprobada previamente por escrito por el departamento.

(B) Para los propósitos de esta sección, la financiación de transporte identificada en el Plan de Gestión del Sistema de Carreteras Estatales proporciona financiación segura y a largo plazo para una estructura, pero no para el hábitat en ella, en el sistema de carreteras estatales.

(1) Registrar una servidumbre de conservación, en una forma aprobada previamente por escrito por el departamento, o establecer la protección perpetua de la tierra de una manera consistente con los planes de conservación de comunidades naturales borrador o aprobados dentro del área de la acción de conectividad de vida silvestre aplicable y aprobada por escrito por el departamento, que prevenga el desarrollo, prohíba usos inconsistentes y asegure el mantenimiento del hábitat para las especies focales.

(2) Proporcionar financiación segura y perpetua para la gestión de la tierra, el monitoreo y la aplicación legal, en una forma aprobada previamente por escrito por el departamento.

(d) “Acción de conectividad de vida silvestre” significa una acción que mejora de manera medible la conectividad del hábitat acuático o terrestre, o la migración, recolonización y oportunidades de reproducción de la vida silvestre inhibidas por infraestructura construida o fragmentación del hábitat. Una acción de conectividad de vida silvestre puede incluir, pero no se limita a, un paso elevado o subterráneo de carretera exclusivamente para uso de la vida silvestre.
