Part 7 (commencing with

Section 17500) of Division 4 of Title 2 of the Government Code. 4. Will not result in any nondiscretionary costs or savings to local agencies. 5. Will not result in any costs or savings in federal funding to the state. 6. Will not have any potential cost impact on private persons, businesses or small businesses.

CALIFORNIA REGULATORY NOTICE REGISTER 2022, VOLUME NUMBER 51-Z 1517 GENERAL PUBLIC INTEREST DEPARTMENT OF FISH AND WILDLIFE CALIFORNIA STATE SAFE HARBOR AGREEMENT PROGRAM ACT CONSISTENCY DETERMINATION NUMBER 2089–2022–003–01 Location: Shasta River, Siskiyou County Applicant: C ardoza Ranch Partnership Background On February 24, 2021, the National Marine Fisher - ies Service (NMFS) approved a Template Safe Harbor Agreement for Conservation of Coho Salmon in the Shasta River (TSHA). The TSHA establishes the gen- eral requirements for NMFS, under authority of the Endangered Species Act

section 10(a)(1)(

A) and its implementing rule and policy, to issue Enhancement of Survival Permits (ESP) to non–federal landowners in the Shasta River Basin for the purpose of promot - ing the conservation, enhancement of survival, and recovery of the Southern Oregon/Northern California Coast (SONCC) evolutionarily significant unit of coho salmon ( Oncorhynchus kisutch ; Covered Species). The TSHA also discusses Covered Species biological requirements, habitat conditions, covered activities and associated avoidance and minimization measures, and the adaptive management program.

NMFS has issued a Site Plan Agreement (SPA), which is an agreement between NMFS and a land - owner, and an associated ESP, which authorizes take of a Covered Species, to each individual landowner enrolled under the TSHA (Project). Each SPA and as- sociated ESP provide specificity to the terms or con - ditions in the TSHA, or additional terms or conditions beyond what appears in the TSHA, that are applicable to a particular enrolled property. The TSHA, and re - lated SPA and ESP, taken together provide the applica- ble terms and conditions for an individual landowner (collectively, the ‘federal SHA ’).

On February 24, 2021, NMFS issued a SPA and ESP (Permit Number 23278), under the terms of the TSHA, to Cardoza Ranch Partnership (Permittee) with a term of 20 years 1. Cardoza Ranch (Enrolled Property), owned and operated by the Permittee, is located along Louie Road in central Siskiyou County (41°35'00" North lat- itude, 122°26'49" West longitude). The Enrolled Prop- 1 ESP, page 18. erty consists of the following APNs: 020–020–130, 020–020–120, and 020–030–020 2. The Enrolled Property includes a total of approximately 497 acres, with approximately 165 acres of grass pasture utiliz - ing flood irrigation.

The Enrolled Property is operated to produce cattle. The Enrolled Property has a 2.98 cubic–foot per sec- ond water right, included in the Shasta River Decree. The previous point of diversion was located on Lower Parks Creek, 1.5 miles upstream from the confluence with the Shasta River on the neighboring Hole in the Ground property. The diversion structure consists of an earthen dam with two corrugated metal pipes, which are blocked with flashboards during the irriga - tion season.

The water is backed up behind the dam to gain the force (head) needed to convey the diverted water down approximately 14,430 feet of open, lined, and unlined diversion ditch for use on the Enrolled Property. When blocked with flashboards during ir - rigation season, a 25–acre impoundment is created on Parks Creek. In a separately permitted project, this diversion was removed and a new pumped diversion installed 2.5 miles downstream on the Shasta River. Ditches were replaced with piping, and the diversion is screened with a self–cleaning cone screen that meets current screening criteria.

Enrolled Property SPA The Enrolled Property SPA defines Baseline Con- ditions as the habitat conditions at the time NMFS approved the Enrolled Property SPA, the conditions described in Appendix 1 of the TSHA. The activities required to maintain Baseline Conditions are detailed in Table 2 of the Enrolled Property SPA. Avoidance and minimization measures are de - scribed in detail in Appendix 2 of the TSHA, and those applicable to the Enrolled Property are listed in

section G.1 of the Enrolled Property SPA. Covered Activities include Routine Agricultur - al Activities, Beneficial Management Actions, and Avoidance and Minimization Measures (AMMs), as detailed in Appendix 2 of the TSHA and in sections C, G, and E of the Enrolled Property SPA, as follows: ● R outine Agricultural Covered Activities 3 (Section C1) o I rrigation management o I rrigation maintenance o P asture grazing management o R iparian fence maintenance o R oad maintenance o C rossing maintenance o H erbicide/fertilizer/pesticide use 2 SPA, page 4. 3 See TSHA Appendix 2 for full text of covered activities and avoidance and minimization measures.

a) in - spect for implementation of BMAs, (

b) monitor, stock or remove the Covered Species, or to carry out related management activities, and (

c) moni - tor the effectiveness of the SPA. Such access will be subject to conditions identified in each SPA. Unless specified otherwise in the applicable SPA, such access will be subject to reasonable notice, not less than seven days in advance, and condi - tioned to avoid interference with commercial and other private uses of the Enrolled Property by the Permittee.

CALIFORNIA REGULATORY NOTICE REGISTER 2022, VOLUME NUMBER 51-Z 1519 ● Special Circumstances. In the circumstanc - es described in TSHA Sections 6.2 and 6.8, the Permittee will allow access to NMFS and CDFW for emergency salvage or relocation of affected Covered Species 4. ● Monitoring.

The Permittee shall allow CDFW and NMFS to conduct implementation and ef - fectiveness monitoring of various AMMs and BMAs related to riparian grazing, fish passage, LWD utilization by salmonids, beaver manage - ment, and riparian enhancement. 5 Net Conservation Benefit The federal SHA is expected to result in a net con - servation benefit to the Covered Species over the 20– year term by: ● Improving irrigation efficiency on the property through piping and redesign ● Ensure instream benefits through a California Water Code

section 1707 water dedication when diversion is not taking place ● Moving the point of diversion, installing new fish screens, and eliminating the Parks Creek im- poundment and fish passage impediment ● Possible enhancements to Parks Creek overflow channel and creation of off–channel habitat ● Adhering to a riparian grazing management plan and pasture grazing plan. 6 Consistency Determination Request On November 14, 2022, the Director of CDFW re - ceived a letter from Cardoza Ranch Partnership re - questing a determination pursuant to California Fish and Game Code

section 2089.22 that the federal SHA is consistent with California State Safe Harbor Agree- ment Program Act for the Covered Species on the Enrolled Property. (Cal. Reg. Notice Register 2022, Number 47–Z,page 1412.).

Determination CDFW has determined that the federal SHA with proposed incidental take of the Covered Species, is consistent with the California State Safe Harbor Agreement Program Act because the conservation, avoidance, and minimization measures contained in the federal SHA meet the conditions set forth in California Fish and Game Code sections 2089.22 and 2089.6 for authorizing incidental take of the Covered Species.

Specifically, CDFW finds that: (1) take of the Covered Species will be incidental to an otherwise lawful activity; (2) implementation of the federal SHA is reasonably expected to provide a net conservation benefit to the Covered Species; (3) the Project will 4 TSHA 6.3.1 and 6.3.2. 5 SPA, various sections. 6 NMFS Net Conservation Benefit Finding 11/17/2020. not jeopardize the continued existence of the Covered Species; (4) the Permittee has agreed, to the maximum extent practicable, to avoid or minimize any inciden - tal take authorized by the federal SHA, including re - turning to baseline conditions; (5) the federal SHA has established an approved monitoring program;

(6) CDFW has determined that sufficient funding is en - sured to complete surveys on the property and there is sufficient funding to carry out management actions and monitoring for the duration of the federal SHA; and (7) implementation of the federal SHA is not in conflict with a CDFW–approved conservation or re - covery program for the Covered Species. Monitoring and Reporting Measures The Permittee will be responsible for the following monitoring and reporting measures related to imple - mentation of the federal SHA and fulfillment of its provisions: ● SPA Sections G ● SPA

Section H ● SPA Appendix D ● TSHA

Section 6.6 ● TSHA Appendix 2 (Pages 66–101) ● TSHA Appendix 3 — Implementation Monitoring (Pages 108–118) ● TSHA Appendix 3 — Effectiveness Monitoring and Reporting (Pages 119–140) ● TSHA Appendix 3 — Validation Monitoring (Pages 141–142) ● TSHA Appendix 3 — Evaluation (Pages 142–144) ● TSHA Appendix 3 — Monitoring and Reporting Responsibilities (Pages 144–145) ● ESP Condition #7 Funding Funding will be provided by the Permittee through a $1,500 annual contribution to effectiveness monitor- ing. Permittee shall provide such funding to SWCG by February 1 of each year of its ESP.

SWCG will then provide such funding directly to parties designated by NMFS to undertake effectiveness monitoring. 7 Permittee obtained funding to design the new ir - rigation improvements, and implement moving the point of diversion, installation of the new fish screen, solar pump array, and cattle crossing at Parks Creek to allow fish passage for all like stages. Permittee shall seek funding for the Parks Creek overflow enhancements if determined necessary from an assessment. Incidental Take Authorization Pursuant to Fish and Game Code
