Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants; Revised 
Designation of Critical Habitat for the Tidewater Goby (Eucyclogobius 
newberryi)

AGENCY: Fish and Wildlife Service, Interior.

ACTION: Final rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: We, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service), are revising 
the critical habitat designation for the tidewater goby (Eucyclogobius 
newberryi) under the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (Act). 
In total, approximately 10,003 acres (ac) (4,050 hectares (ha)) fall 
within the boundaries of the final revised critical habitat 
designation. The revised critical habitat is located in Del Norte, 
Humboldt, Mendocino, Sonoma, Marin, San Mateo, Santa Cruz, Monterey, 
San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara, Ventura, and Los Angeles Counties, 
California.

DATES: This rule becomes effective on March 3, 2008.

ADDRESSES: The final rule, final economic analysis, and map of critical 
habitat will be available on the Internet at http://www.regulations.gov 
and http://www.fws.gov/ventura. Supporting documentation we used in 
preparing this final rule will be available for public inspection, by 
appointment, during normal business hours, at the U.S. Fish and 
Wildlife Service, Ventura Fish and Wildlife Office, 2493 Portola Road, 
Suite B, Ventura, California 93003; telephone (805) 644-1766; facsimile

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    It is our intent to discuss only those topics directly relevant to 
the revised designation of critical habitat in this final rule. For 
additional information on the tidewater goby, refer to the final 
listing rule published in the Federal Register on February 4, 1994 (59 
FR 5494); the original proposed and final critical habitat rules 
published in the Federal Register on August 3, 1999 (64 FR 42250) and 
November 20, 2000 (65 FR 69693), respectively; and the proposed revised 
critical habitat designation published in the Federal Register on 
November 28, 2006 (71 FR 68914).

Species Description and Genetic/Morphological Characteristics

    The tidewater goby is a small, elongate, grey-brown fish rarely 
exceeding 2 inches (in) (5 centimeters (cm)) in length. This species 
possesses large pectoral fins, and the pelvic or ventral fins are 
joined to each other below the chest and belly from below the gill 
cover back to just anterior of the anus. Male tidewater gobies are 
nearly transparent with a mottled brownish upper surface. Female 
tidewater gobies develop darker colors, often black, on the body and 
dorsal and anal fins. The tidewater goby is a short-lived species; the 
lifespan of most individuals appears to be about 1 year (Irwin and 
Soltz 1984, pg 26; Swift et al. 1989, pg 4).
    Various genetic markers demonstrate that pronounced differences in 
the genetic structure of tidewater gobies exist, and that tidewater 
gobies in some locations are genetically distinct. A recent study of 
mitochondrial DNA and cytochrome b (molecular material used in genetic 
studies) sequences from tidewater gobies that were collected at 31 
locations throughout the species' range identified six major 
phylogeographic (geographic differences in the evolution of a species) 
or regional groups (Dawson et al. 2001, pg 1171). These six regional 
groups include the following areas: (1) Tillas Slough (Smith River) in 
Del Norte County to Lagoon Creek in Mendocino County, i.e., the North 
Coast (NC) Unit; (2) Salmon Creek in Sonoma County to Bennett's Slough 
in Monterey County, i.e., the Greater Bay (GB) Unit; (3) Arroyo del Oso 
to Morro Bay in San Luis Obispo County, i.e., the Central Coast (CC) 
Unit; (4) San Luis Obispo Creek in San Luis Obispo County to Rincon 
Creek in Santa Barbara County, i.e., the Conception (CO) Unit; (5) 
Ventura River in Ventura County to Topanga Creek in Los Angeles County, 
i.e., the Los Angeles-Ventura (LV) Unit; and (6) San Pedro Harbor in 
Los Angeles County to Los Pe[ntilde]asquitos Lagoon in San Diego 
County, i.e., the South Coast (SC) Unit.

Metapopulation Dynamics

    Local populations of tidewater gobies are best characterized as 
metapopulations (Lafferty et al. 1999a, p. 1448). First, local goby 
populations are frequently isolated from other local populations by 
extensive areas of unsuitable habitat. Second, gobies occupy coastal 
lagoons and estuaries that in most cases are separated from each other 
by the open ocean. Very few tidewater gobies have ever been captured in 
the marine environment (Swift et al. 1989, p. 7), which suggests this 
species rarely occurs in the open ocean. Studies of the tidewater goby 
suggest that some populations persist on a consistent basis (Lafferty 
et al. 1999a, p. 1452), while other tidewater goby populations appear 
to experience intermittent extirpations. These extirpations may result 
from one or a series of factors, such as the drying up of some small 
streams during prolonged droughts (Lafferty et al. 1999a, p. 1451). 
Some of the areas where tidewater gobies have been extirpated 
apparently have been recolonized when extant populations were present 
within a relatively short distance of the extirpated population (i.e., 
less than 6 miles (mi) (10 kilometers (km)). These recolonization 
events suggest that tidewater goby populations exhibit a metapopulation 
dynamic where some populations survive or remain viable by continually 
exchanging individuals, and recolonizations may occur after occasional 
extirpations (Doak and Mills 1994, pg 619).
    Lafferty et al. (1999b) monitored the post-flood persistence of 
several tidewater goby populations in Santa Barbara and Los Angeles 
Counties during and after the heavy winter floods of 1995. All of the 
monitored populations persisted after the floods, and no significant 
changes in population sizes were noted (Lafferty et al. 1999b, p. 621). 
Tidewater gobies apparently colonized Ca[ntilde]ada Honda in Santa 
Barbara County after one flood event (Lafferty et al. 1999b, p. 621). 
This information suggests that flooding may sometimes contribute to 
recolonization of habitats where a tidewater goby population has become 
extirpated.
    The largest wetland habitats where tidewater gobies have been known 
to occur are not necessarily the most secure, as evidenced by the fact 
that the Santa Margarita River in San Diego County and the San 
Francisco Bay have lost their populations of tidewater goby. Today, the 
majority of the most stable and largest tidewater goby populations 
consist of lagoons and estuaries of intermediate sizes, i.e., 5 to 125 
ac (2 to 50 ha) that have remained relatively unaffected by human 
activities (Service 2005, p. 12). Many of the localities where 
tidewater gobies are consistently present may be ``source'' 
populations, and such locations may provide the

[[Page 5921]]

colonists for localities that intermittently lose their tidewater goby 
populations.
    Historical records and survey results for several localities 
occupied by the tidewater goby are available (e.g., Swift et al. 1989, 
pp. 18-19; Swift et al. 1994, pp. 8-16). These documents suggest the 
persistence of tidewater goby populations is related to habitat size, 
configuration, location, and proximity to human development. In 
general, the most stable and persistent tidewater goby populations 
occur in the lagoons and estuaries that are more than 2.47 ac (1 ha) in 
size and that have remained relatively unaffected by human activities 
(Lafferty et al. 1999a, pp. 1450-1453). We note, however, that some 
systems that are affected or altered by human activities also have 
relatively large and stable populations (e.g., Humboldt Bay in Humboldt 
County, Pismo Creek in San Luis Obispo County, Santa Ynez River in 
Santa Barbara County, and the Santa Clara River in Ventura County). 
Also, some habitats less than 2.47 ac (1 ha) in size have tidewater 
goby populations that persist on a regular basis (Swift et al. 1997, p. 
3; Keegan 2006, p. 8). The best available information suggests that the 
lagoons and estuaries that have persistent populations are likely the 
core populations that provide the individuals that colonize adjacent, 
smaller localities that have ephemeral tidewater goby populations 
(Lafferty et al. 1999a, p. 1452).

Distribution

    The known geographic range of the tidewater goby is limited to the 
coast of California (Eschmeyer et al. 1983, p. 262; Swift et al. 1989, 
p. 12). The species historically occurred from localities that extended 
from 3 mi (5 km) south of the California-Oregon border (i.e., Tillas 
Slough in Del Norte County) to 44 mi (71 km) north of the United 
States-Mexico border (i.e., Agua Hedionda Lagoon in San Diego County). 
The available documentation (e.g., Eschmeyer et al. 1983, p. 262; Swift 
et al. 1989, p. 12) suggests the northernmost locality that forms one 
end of the historical and current geographic range of the tidewater 
goby has not changed over time. Tidewater gobies do not currently occur 
in Agua Hedionda Lagoon, and the species' southernmost known locality 
currently is located in Cockleburr Canyon 9.2 mi (14.8 km) north of 
Agua Hedionda Lagoon. Although the northernmost and southernmost extent 
of the tidewater goby's range has not changed much over time, the 
tidewater goby's overall population has become patchy and fragmented 
along the coast.
    Tidewater gobies appear to be naturally absent from several large 
(50 to 135 mi (80 to 217 km)) stretches of coastline where lagoons or 
estuaries are absent, and steep topography or swift currents may 
prevent tidewater gobies from dispersing between adjacent localities 
(Swift et al. 1989, p. 13). One such gap in lagoons and estuaries 
occurs between the Eel River in Humboldt County and the Ten Mile River 
in Mendocino County. A second gap exists between Lagoon Creek in 
Mendocino County and Salmon Creek in Sonoma County. Another large, 
natural gap occurs between the Salinas River in Monterey County and 
Arroyo del Oso in San Luis Obispo County. Habitat loss and other 
anthropogenic-related factors have resulted in the tidewater goby now 
being absent from several locations where it historically occurred; 
their recent disappearance from specific locations has created smaller, 
artificial gaps in the species' geographic distribution (Capelli 1997, 
p. 7). Such locations include Buena Vista Lagoon and Agua Hedionda 
Lagoon in San Diego County, Calleguas Creek/Mugu Lagoon in Ventura 
County, San Francisco Bay in San Francisco and Alameda Counties, and 
Redwood Creek and Freshwater Lagoon in Humboldt County.
    Swift et al. (1989, p. 13) reported that, as of 1984, tidewater 
gobies occurred, or had been known to occur, at 87 localities; these 
localities included those at the extreme northern and southern end of 
the species' historical geographic range. An assessment of the species' 
distribution in 1993, using records that were limited to the area 
between the Monterey Peninsula in Monterey County and the United 
States-Mexico border, found tidewater gobies occurring at four 
additional localities (Swift et al. 1993, p. 129). Other goby 
localities have been identified since 1993, and currently tidewater 
gobies have been documented at 135 localities within the historical 
geographic range of the species (Service 2005, p. 6). Of these 135 
localities, 23 (17 percent) are no longer known to be occupied by 
tidewater gobies. Therefore, 112 localities are currently occupied.

Habitat

    The lagoons, estuaries, backwater marshes, and freshwater 
tributaries that tidewater gobies occupy are dynamic environments that 
are subject to considerable fluctuations on a seasonal and annual 
basis. In a typical year, the formation of a sandbar occurs in the late 
spring as flow into a lagoon declines enough to allow the ocean surf to 
build up the sandbar at the mouth of the lagoon. Winter rains and 
subsequently increased stream flows may bring in considerable sediment 
and dramatically affect the bottom profile and substrate composition of 
a lagoon or estuary. Fine mud and clay either moves through the lagoon 
or estuary or settles out in backwater marshes, while heavier sand is 
left in the lagoon or estuary. High flows associated with winter rains 
can scour out the lagoon bottom to lower levels, with sand building up 
again after flows decline. These dynamic processes result in wetland 
habitats that, over time, move both laterally and up-or-down-gradient 
relative to stationary features that exist outside the flood zone 
(e.g., roads or buildings).
    The horizontal extent of the lentic (pond-like) wetland habitat 
associated with a particular tidewater goby locality varies on a site-
specific basis, and is affected in part by local precipitation patterns 
and topography. In coastal areas where the topography is steep and 
precipitation is relatively low (e.g., areas adjacent to the Santa Ynez 
Mountains in Santa Barbara County), the habitats occupied by tidewater 
gobies may be a few acres in size, only extend a few hundred feet 
inland from the ocean, and backwater marshes may be small or absent. In 
other coastal settings where precipitation is more abundant: (1) 
Topography is less steep and surface streams are larger; (2) coastal 
lagoons or estuaries may be hundreds of acres in size and extend many 
miles inland; and (3) extensive backwater marshes may be present (e.g., 
Lake Earl in Del Norte County and Ten Mile River in Mendocino County).
    Some localities occupied by tidewater gobies receive surface or 
ground water from upstream areas on a year-round basis. Such localities 
(e.g., Bennett's Slough in Monterey County) tend to possess wetland 
habitats that are larger and can extend inland for several hundred feet 
or even miles. Other occupied locations do not possess stream channels 
or tributaries that provide a considerable amount of water throughout 
the summer or fall months. Such locations (e.g., Little Pico Creek in 
San Luis Obispo County) tend to possess wetland habitats that only 
extend a short distance inland from the ocean (i.e., 290 ft (88 m)).

Reproduction

    Tidewater gobies have been observed spawning in every month of the 
year except December (Swenson 1999, p. 107). Reproduction tends to peak 
in late April or May to July, and can continue into November depending 
on seasonal

[[Page 5922]]

temperature and rainfall. Swenson (1995, p. 31) has documented spawning 
behavior in adult fish and the presence of egg clutches at water 
temperatures between 48 and 77 degrees Fahrenheit (F) (9 and 25 degrees 
Celsius (C)). Spawning tidewater gobies have been observed in water 
salinities between 2 and 27 parts per thousand (ppt) (Swenson 1999, p. 
31).

Threats

    The final listing rule for the tidewater goby that was published in 
1994 (59 FR 5494) states that this species is threatened, or 
potentially threatened, by: (1) Coastal development projects that 
result in the loss or alteration of coastal wetland habitat; (2) water 
diversions and alterations of water flows upstream of coastal lagoons 
and estuaries that negatively impact the species' breeding and foraging 
activities; (3) groundwater overdrafting; (4) channelization of the 
rivers where the species occurs; (5) discharge of agricultural and 
sewage effluents; (6) cattle grazing and feral pig activity that 
results in increased sedimentation of coastal lagoons and riparian 
habitats, removal of vegetative cover, increased ambient water 
temperatures, and elimination of plunge pools and undercut banks 
utilized by tidewater gobies; (7) introduced species that prey on the 
tidewater goby (e.g., bass (Micropterus spp.) and crayfish (Cambaris 
spp.)); (8) the inadequacy of existing regulatory mechanisms; (9) 
drought conditions that result in the deterioration of coastal and 
riparian habitats; and (10) competition with introduced species such as 
the yellowfin goby (Acanthogobius flavimanus) and chameleon goby 
(Tridentiger trigonocephalus).

Previous Federal Actions

    On August 31, 2001, Cabrillo Power L.L.C. (Cabrillo) filed a 
lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of 
California challenging a portion of the November 20, 2000, final rule 
(65 FR 69693) that designated the 10 critical habitat units for the 
tidewater goby in Orange and San Diego Counties. Specifically, Cabrillo 
objected to the critical habitat unit involving Agua Hedionda Lagoon 
and Creek. In a consent decree dated February 27, 2003, the U.S. 
District Court: (1) Agreed to vacate the critical habitat designation 
involving Agua Hedionda Lagoon and Creek; (2) stated the nine other 
critical habitat units should remain in effect; (3) stated the final 
rule designating critical habitat was remanded in its entirety for 
reconsideration; and (4) directed the Service to promulgate a revised 
critical habitat rule that considers the entire geographic range of the 
tidewater goby and any currently unoccupied tidewater goby habitat. The 
consent decree requires that the Service submit proposed and final 
revised rules to the Federal Register no later than November 15, 2006, 
and November 15, 2007, respectively. On November 28, 2006, we published 
the proposed revised critical habitat designation for the tidewater 
goby in the Federal Register (71 FR 68914). An extension of the due 
date for the final critical habitat rule was approved by the court on 
November 19, 2007, and the Service is now required to submit the final 
rule to the Federal Register by January 18, 2008.
    A draft economic analysis (DEA) for the proposed revised 
designation was completed on August 23, 2007, and a notice of 
availability for this DEA was published in the Federal Register on 
September 25, 2007 (72 FR 54411). Publication of the notice of 
availability opened a public comment period for the DEA as well as the 
proposed revised designation from September 25, 2007, to October 10, 
2007. For a discussion of additional Federal actions that occurred 
prior to the proposed revised designation of critical habitat for this 
species, please refer to the Previous Federal Actions section of the 
proposed revised critical habitat rule for the tidewater goby (71 FR 
68914).
    On September 28, 2007, we completed a 5-year review for the 
tidewater goby. In the 5-year review we recommended that the tidewater 
goby be downlisted to threatened because we believe that it is not in 
imminent danger of extinction. The main reason for this recommendation 
is that the number of localities known to be occupied has more than 
doubled since listing (from 48 to 106). We believe this indicates the 
tidewater goby is more resilient in the face of severe drought events 
than believed at the time of listing. Furthermore, we believe threats 
identified at the time of listing have been reduced or are not as 
serious as thought. One of the main reasons why the tidewater goby was 
listed was because of habitat destruction and alteration. Current laws 
and regulations have largely eliminated the major destruction of 
habitat that occurred in the past along the coast of California. The 5-
year review concluded that tidewater goby populations are highly 
dynamic and will periodically be extirpated or reach such low numbers 
that they cannot be detected at some localities. This is a natural 
occurrence within many species exhibiting a metapopulation dynamic 
including the tidewater goby. Although the rate of extirpation or 
reduction to low levels is expected to be higher during drought 
conditions, during wetter periods, we expect that these localities will 
again be occupied assuming that suitable habitat still exists.

Summary of Comments and Recommendations

    We requested written comments from the public on the proposed 
revised designation of critical habitat for tidewater goby in the 
proposed rule (71 FR 68914, November 28, 2006) and in the subsequent 
notice of availability for the DEA (72 FR 54411, September 25, 2007). 
We also contacted appropriate Federal, State, and local agencies; 
scientific organizations; and other interested parties and invited them 
to comment on the proposed revised rule.
    During the comment period that opened on November 28, 2006, and 
closed on January 29, 2007, we received 23 comments directly addressing 
the proposed revised critical habitat designation: 4 from peer 
reviewers, 2 from Federal agencies, 1 from the State of California, 2 
from local government, and 14 from organizations or individuals. 
Seventeen commenters generally supported the revised designation of 
critical habitat for tidewater goby, 4 opposed it, and 2 were neither 
for nor against it. During the comment period that opened September 25, 
2007, and closed on October 10, 2007, we received seven comments 
addressing the proposed revised critical habitat designation and/or the 
draft economic analysis: two from local governments and five from 
organizations or individuals. One commenter supported the revised 
designation of critical habitat for the tidewater goby, five opposed it 
and/or the draft economic analysis, and one was neither for nor against 
it. Comments received were grouped into six general issues and are 
addressed in the following summary and incorporated into this final 
rule as appropriate. We did not receive any requests for a public 
hearing.

Peer Review

    In accordance with our policy published on July 1, 1994 (59 FR 
34270), we solicited expert opinions from seven knowledgeable 
individuals with scientific expertise that included familiarity with 
the species, the geographic region in which the species occurs, and 
conservation biology principles. We received responses from four of the 
peer reviewers. The peer reviewers generally concurred with our methods 
and conclusions, and provided

[[Page 5923]]

additional information, clarifications, and suggestions to improve the 
final revised critical habitat rule. Peer reviewer comments are 
addressed in the following summary and incorporated into the final rule 
as appropriate.

Peer Reviewer Comments

    1. Comment: Four peer reviewers stated that more extant populations 
need to be designated or new populations established in order to 
potentially increase connectivity and persistence of present tidewater 
goby distribution and diversity.
    Our Response: We have not designated all areas currently occupied 
by tidewater gobies as critical habitat, nor have we designated any 
areas that were historically occupied but are now unoccupied by the 
species. However, we believe the 44 critical habitat units we are 
designating for the tidewater goby, all of which are currently 
occupied, are the areas that are necessary for the conservation of the 
tidewater goby and, therefore, meet the definition of critical habitat 
in the Act. The goal of the recovery plan for the tidewater goby is to 
preserve the diversity of habitats that occur within the range of the 
species, the metapopulation structure of the species (see Criteria Used 
To Identify Critical Habitat section for a definition and additional 
details on the recovery plan for the tidewater goby), and genetic 
diversity (Service 2005). The recovery plan identifies 26 subunits 
throughout the range of the tidewater goby. We designated critical 
habitat in all 26 subunits included in the recovery plan, except for 
those on Vandenberg Air Force Base (Santa Barbara County) and Marine 
Corps Base, Camp Pendleton (San Diego County), which have Integrated 
National Resource Management Plans (INRMP) that provide protection for 
the tidewater goby. These areas have been exempted from this final 
designation of critical habitat (see Application of Section 4(a)(3) of 
the Act--Approved Integrated Natural Resource Management Plans 
section). We believe these 44 critical habitat units, in addition to 
those subunits covered by INRMPs, are sufficient for the conservation 
of the species throughout its range, as they adequately represent the 
variation of both the habitat and genetic composition of the species, 
and they will support the species' recovery. As such, we did not 
designate any areas that are not currently occupied (see Summary of 
Changes from Previously Designated Critical Habitat and 2006 Proposed 
Rule section for more information).
    We also agree with the commenters that the introduction of new 
populations could potentially benefit the tidewater goby. However, we 
did not include any unoccupied habitat in this designation because we 
concluded that the 44 units we are designating are the areas essential 
for conservation.
    2. Comment: Several peer reviewers stated that all available 
evidence suggests that the southern tidewater goby is a distinct taxon 
of, or equivalent to, species rank and given the critical habitat 
proposed, is very likely to go extinct.
    Our Response: At this time, the tidewater goby is listed as a 
single species, following the currently accepted taxonomy for the 
species. If a change in the taxonomy of the tidewater goby is published 
in a peer-reviewed journal, we will evaluate the listing status of the 
species at that time. We have not designated any critical habitat in 
Orange and San Diego Counties because all the areas in these Counties 
that meet the first part of the definition of critical habitat in 
section 3(5)(A) of the Act (``the specific areas within the 
geographical area occupied by the species, at the time it is listed in 
accordance with the provisions of section 4 of this Act, on which are 
found those physical or biological features (I) essential to the 
conservation of the species * * *'') are located on Camp Pendleton 
Marine Corps Base (Base). The Base has a completed INRMP that provides 
a conservation benefit to the tidewater goby. Section 4(a)(3) of the 
Act prohibits the Secretary from designating critical habitat on any 
lands owned or controlled by the Department of Defense that are subject 
to an INRMP if the Secretary has determined that such plan provides a 
benefit to the species for which critical habitat is being proposed for 
designation. As such, pursuant to section 4(a)(3) of the Act, we have 
exempted the Base from this final designation of critical habitat (see 
Application of Section 4(a)(3)--Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton 
section). We also did not designate any areas outside the geographical 
area occupied by the species as critical habitat for the reasons given 
in our response to comment 1 above and the Summary of Changes from 
Previously Designated Critical Habitat and 2006 Proposed Rule section.
    3. Comment: One peer reviewer stated that our identification of 
tidewater goby populations serving as source populations for other 
areas is not supported by available information.
    Our Response: We are not aware of any single definition of source 
population that can be applied to every species. The recovery plan for 
the tidewater goby defines a source population as a subpopulation of a 
metapopulation that has an average birth rate that exceeds the average 
death rate, and therefore produces an excess of juveniles that may 
disperse to other areas (Service 2005). We do not have information on 
either tidewater goby population size or productivity for each occupied 
area. Therefore, for purposes of this rule, we have used the term 
``source population'' to describe those areas that are currently 
occupied and have been consistently occupied for three or more 
consecutive years based on presence/absence survey data and published 
reports. We believe these areas are more likely to be capable of 
maintaining populations over many years and more likely to be capable 
of providing individuals to recruit into surrounding subpopulations.
    4. Comment: Two peer reviewers asserted that coastal lagoon 
restoration plans that establish tidal salt marshes rather than 
brackish coastal lagoons should be included as an additional new 
threat.
    Our Response: We acknowledge that coastal lagoon restoration 
projects may be a threat to tidewater goby habitat. Although we have 
not specifically mentioned this type of project in this rule, we 
consider this as a coastal development project (see Critical Habitat 
Designation section and the Special Management Considerations or 
Protection section below).
    5. Comment: Two peer reviewers stated that critical habitat units 
should be related to recovery units because the units designated as 
they are now do not provide for recovery.
    Our Response: We believe that our approach to this designation 
complies with the definitions in the Act, reflects the intent of the 
recovery plan for the tidewater goby (Service 2005), and identifies the 
areas essential to the conservation of the species throughout its range 
(see our response to comment 1 above). Developing recovery plans and 
designating critical habitat are not necessarily synonymous under the 
Act. The Act does not include specific instructions as to the areas 
that should be included in recovery plans, and often recovery plans 
include redundant areas. In comparison, critical habitat is defined in 
section 3(5)(A) of the Act as, ``the specific areas within the 
geographical area occupied by the species, at the time it is listed * * 
*'' Critical habitat is further defined in the Act as those specific 
areas, ``on which are found those physical or biological features (I) 
essential to the conservation of the

species and (II) which may require special management considerations or 
protection.'' Under section 3(5)(A)(ii) of the Act, areas outside the 
geographical area occupied by the species at the time it is listed may 
only be designated as critical habitat, ``upon a determination by the 
Secretary that such areas are essential for the conservation of the 
species.'' Each of these definitions requires us to look at what is 
essential to the conservation of the species. The word essential means 
``absolutely necessary, indispensable.'' We interpret this as 
Congressional direction to designate only those areas that are 
indispensable to conservation, not to designate areas that may be 
desirable or helpful for conservation. Furthermore, section 3(5)(C) of 
the Act prohibits us from designating the entire geographical area 
which can be occupied by a species without the approval of the 
Secretary. Thus, we considered the 26 subunits in the recovery plan and 
designated critical habitat units accordingly as discussed in more 
detail in comment 1 above.
    6. Comment: One peer reviewer questioned why we did not include the 
Smith River locality in the critical habitat designation and make it a 
priority for protection because it is the northernmost population and 
may be divergent genetically.
    Our Response: We determined that the survey history shows the 
species to be consistently rare at this location, and within the past 5 
years, surveys in this location have only sporadically located a few 
individuals. Based on this information, we believe this locality does 
not serve as a source population and does not provide connectivity 
between localities (see Criteria Used To Identify Critical Habitat 
section). We also do not have any information that indicates this 
locality is occupied by a genetically distinct population. Therefore, 
we do not consider this locality to have the features that are 
essential to the conservation of the species.
    7. Comment: One peer reviewer stated that Scott Creek lagoon in 
Santa Cruz County should be considered for addition to critical habitat 
because it is substantially isolated and could be genetically distinct 
and therefore, may be an important potential stepping stone site.
    Our Response: Scott Creek lagoon was not occupied at the time of 
listing, although it was subsequently colonized (Service 2005). Over 
the years, survey efforts indicate that occupancy by tidewater gobies 
at this locality is intermittent and therefore, we do not consider it a 
source population (Service 2005). We also do not have information that 
indicates this locality is occupied by a genetically distinct 
population. Finally, Scott Creek is not likely to provide connectivity 
between localities because the next locality to the north, Bean Hollow 
Creek, is 16.1 mi (26 km) from Scott Creek. This distance is well 
beyond what experts believe to be the dispersal abilities of the 
tidewater goby (see Background section). Therefore, we do not consider 
this locality to be essential to the conservation of the species.
    8. Comment: One peer reviewer stated that Wilder Creek lagoon in 
Santa Cruz County should be considered for addition to critical habitat 
because it has a larger late summer population than Baldwin Creek and 
may be more likely to supply large numbers of dispersing tidewater 
gobies to other sites in the metapopulation.
    Our Response: As described in the recovery plan for the tidewater 
goby (Service 2005), the subunit that includes Wilder Creek consists of 
several small, closely spaced localities. Only small numbers of 
individuals have been found in many of these localities and occupancy 
is intermittent in most areas; survey efforts indicate that occupancy 
by tidewater gobies at Wilder Creek is intermittent (Service 2005). 
Tidewater gobies are only regularly abundant at one locality in this 
subunit, Baldwin Creek, which we have designated as critical habitat. 
We consider Baldwin Creek to be the source population for this subunit. 
For these reasons, we do not consider the Wilder Creek lagoon to 
contain the features essential to the conservation of the species.
    9. Comment: One peer reviewer recognized that, while Marine Corps 
Base, Camp Pendleton (Base) may be providing some protection to those 
tidewater goby populations on the Base, the protection of these 
populations is not sufficient to protect the southern population of the 
species as a whole and that areas outside the Base that were 
historically occupied should be designated.
    Our Response: As discussed in the Marine Corps Base, Camp Pendleton 
section under Application of Section 4(a)(3), occupied tidewater goby 
habitat occurs on the Base. We have determined that the conservation 
efforts for estuarine habitat and species identified in the Base's 
INRMP provide a benefit to the tidewater goby. Section 4(a)(3) of the 
Act prohibits the Secretary from designating critical habitat on any 
lands owned or controlled by the Department of Defense that are subject 
to an INRMP if the Secretary has determined that such plan provides a 
benefit to the species for which critical habitat is being proposed for 
designation. As such, pursuant to section 4(a)(3) of the Act, we have 
exempted the Base from the designation of critical habitat.
    Additionally, none of the historically occupied sites in southern 
California outside of the Base supported tidewater gobies at the time 
the species was listed in 1994. In fact, tidewater gobies have not been 
detected at any of the off-Base southern California sites for several 
decades. As a result, none of these locations meets the first part of 
the definition of critical habitat.
    As noted above, section 3(5)(A)(ii) requires us to determine 
whether areas outside the geographical area occupied by the species at 
the time of listing are essential for the conservation of the species. 
While our final recovery plan for the tidewater goby identifies these 
off-Base southern California locations as potential reintroduction 
sites, it also acknowledges that habitat improvements will be needed 
before these sites can be recolonized. We acknowledge that some of 
these sites, if restored, may be helpful contributors to the recovery 
of the species in southern California. However, we did not designate 
any areas outside the geographical area occupied by the species as 
critical habitat for the reasons given in our response to comment 1 
above and the Summary of Changes from Previously Designated Critical 
Habitat and 2006 Proposed Rule section.

Public Comments Regarding Site-Specific Areas

    10. Comment: One commenter stated that we should have included the 
area around Lake Earl Lagoon above the 4-foot elevation, and we 
therefore, underestimated the size of the Lake Earl Lagoon critical 
habitat unit (see DN-1: Lake Earl/Lake Tolowa section).
    Our Response: Lake Earl is artificially breeched, and there are 
times when water level is well below the 4-foot elevation. We 
determined that the 4-foot elevation above mean sea level was 
appropriate for delineating critical habitat for Lake Earl because the 
portion of Lake Earl below that elevation is wetted during most times 
of the year, providing consistent habitat for tidewater goby. The area 
above the 4-foot elevation that is frequently not submerged does not 
contain the features essential to the conservation of the species.
    11. Comment: Several commenters wanted additional areas, including 
unoccupied areas, designated as critical habitat for the tidewater 
goby.
    Our Response: Please see our response to comment 1 above.

[[Page 5925]]

    12: Comment: One commenter believed that Hathaway Creek in 
Mendocino County should be included in the critical habitat designation 
because it is good tidewater goby habitat and is occupied by tidewater 
gobies.
    Our Response: We have no record that Hathaway Creek is occupied or 
has ever been occupied by tidewater gobies, and the commenter did not 
provide specific information that shows it to be occupied. As per our 
responses to comment 1 and 2 and as discussed in the Summary of Changes 
from Previously Designated Critical Habitat and 2006 Proposed Rule 
section, we have determined that unoccupied habitat is not essential 
for the conservation of the tidewater goby.
    13. Comment: Two commenters believed that Arroyo Grande Lagoon in 
San Luis Obispo County should be considered for addition to critical 
habitat because: it is likely a source population, it possesses all 
four primary constituents, and it provides connectivity for the Pismo 
Creek population with the Santa Maria River population.
    Our Response: We agree that Arroyo Grande Lagoon is likely to have 
some or all of the primary constituent elements (PCEs) for the 
tidewater goby; however, the mere presence of one or more PCEs does not 
mean that an area meets the definition of critical habitat. As 
described in the recovery plan for the tidewater goby (Service 2005), 
the subunit that includes Arroyo Grande Lagoon consists of five 
localities, of which four are currently occupied. Tidewater gobies 
occur only intermittently at San Luis Obispo Creek and Arroyo Grande 
Lagoon and only in small numbers. Tidewater gobies are only regularly 
abundant at two localities in this subunit, Pismo Creek and Santa Maria 
River, which we have designated as critical habitat. We consider Pismo 
Creek and Santa Maria River to be the source populations for this 
subunit. Survey efforts indicate that occupancy by tidewater gobies at 
Arroyo Grande Lagoon is intermittent (Service 2005) and therefore is 
not likely to be a source population. For these reasons, we do not 
consider this locality to contain the features essential to the 
conservation of the species.
    14. Comment: One commenter expressed concern over the effects of a 
proposed multi-lane toll road on tidewater gobies in San Mateo Creek 
and San Onofre Creek on Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton (Base). The 
commenter stated that the Base's INRMP does not address potential 
impacts to the tidewater goby associated with the proposed toll road, 
and therefore we should designate habitat along San Mateo Creek and San 
Onofre on the Base as critical habitat.
    Our Response: The proposed toll road is not a Marine Corps project 
and therefore is not directly subject to the Base's INRMP. The toll 
road is a separate Federal action with the U.S. Department of 
Transportation, Federal Highway Administration as the lead agency; as 
such, any adverse effects to federally listed species, including 
tidewater gobies, will be addressed under section 7 of the Act.
    However, as described in the Base's INRMP, the Marine Corps agreed 
that (among other provisos) an on-Base alignment of the toll road could 
be evaluated provided ``that any adverse environmental impacts created 
as a result of siting this route on the Base * * * must be fully and 
properly mitigated.'' Further, the lower portion of San Mateo Creek and 
San Onofre Creek is leased to California Department of Parks and 
Recreation, who is required by the Marine Corps to ``conduct its 
natural resources management consistent with the philosophies and 
supportive of the objectives'' of the Camp Pendleton INRMP. Moreover, 
the Marine Corps is implementing the INRMP, including actions 
benefiting the tidewater goby, within the San Mateo Creek and San 
Onofre watersheds. As stated above, pursuant to section 4(a)(3) of the 
Act we are required to exempt the Base from critical habitat for the 
tidewater goby, which includes the lower portion of San Mateo Creek and 
San Onofre Creek.
    15. Comment: One commenter stated that unlike Stone or Big Lagoons, 
Lake Earl is artificially managed and consequently, there is no 
official monitoring or rescue effort for tidewater gobies, no 
established population baseline, and a consistent failure to reach the 
appropriate lagoon level during the summer during tidewater goby 
breeding season (April to August), making this critical habitat 
unavailable to tidewater gobies.
    Our Response: The current 10-year Army Corps permit for the 
breaching of Lake Earl includes the requirement of a monitoring plan. 
Currently, there are specific post-breach monitoring requirements that 
include surveying for tidewater gobies in areas suspected to cause 
stranding. The current permit to breach Lake Earl includes a 
restriction on breaching after February 15 which is designed to protect 
tidewater goby habitat during the breeding season, allowing the lagoon 
sufficient time to close and fill naturally during the spring and 
summer months, when breeding is thought to peak.
    The commenter is correct that there is not enough information 
available to precisely estimate population baseline. The Service is 
addressing this issue by looking into innovative methods of obtaining 
that information in a practical manner.
    We believe that the lake levels during most breeding seasons are 
adequate for tidewater goby breeding to take place if the permit 
conditions for the artificial breaching are attained.
    16. Comment: One commenter stated that the proposed revised rule 
did not provide an analysis of why each individual area with suitable 
habitat for tidewater gobies, regardless of occupancy, was or was not 
designated.
    Our Response: To determine which areas to designate as critical 
habitat for the tidewater goby, we developed a set of rules or criteria 
(see Criteria Used To Identify Critical Habitat section) specific to 
tidewater gobies. We believe our criteria identify those areas which 
meet the definition of critical habitat in the Act and reflect the 
intent of the recovery plan for the tidewater goby (Service 2005). 
Based on these criteria, we determined that not all habitat occupied at 
the time of listing contain the PCEs in the spatial arrangement and 
quantity essential to the conservation of the species. We also 
considered localities that we know from surveys, or the lack thereof, 
were not occupied at the time of listing. We included unoccupied-at-
time-of-listing localities in the designation when they met our 
criteria and were essential to the conservation of the species. See 
response to Comment 1 for more details.
    17. Comment: One commenter believed that the proposed critical 
habitat adjacent to the Mad River Slough Channel should not be 
designated because they do not include habitat for the tidewater goby.
    Our Response: We believe tidewater goby habitat occurs in these 
areas adjacent to the Mad River Slough, which are included in Unit Hum-
3: Humboldt Bay, because these areas are occupied by tidewater gobies 
(Goldsmith 2007). We have included these areas in this final revised 
designation because they form part of the hydrologically interconnected 
system of estuaries and seasonally flooded backwaters that make up the 
habitat of the tidewater goby along Humboldt Bay, and these areas have 
the features that are essential to the conservation of gobies.

Comments Related to Threats to the Species

    18. Comment: Two commenters stated that illegal breaching of sand 
bars across

[[Page 5926]]

lagoons should be included as an additional new threat.
    Our Response: Untimely breaching of sandbars may be a threat to 
tidewater gobies in areas where sandbars play a role in the hydrology 
of estuaries and lagoons. We have provided a discussion of the effects 
of artificial breaching of sandbars on tidewater gobies, which would 
include illegal breaching, in the Primary Constituent Elements and 
Effects of Critical Habitat Designation sections of this rule. We have 
also more clearly identified artificial breaching of sandbars as a 
threat to tidewater goby habitat in the Special Management 
Considerations or Protection section.
    19. Comment: One commenter stated that disease, particularly since 
a new species of microsporidian parasite was found in the tidewater 
goby population at Big Lagoon, should be included as an additional new 
threat.
    Our Response: The discovery of the parasitic microsporidian 
referred to by the commenter is a new development. Currently, the 
parasite has only been identified from Big Lagoon, Humboldt County, 
with a possible detection from Rodeo Lagoon, Marin County. Surveys 
evaluating the extent of the parasite, and its role in the decline of 
the tidewater goby are needed to assess the level of threat to the 
goby. We have not included this as a threat to the tidewater goby at 
this time, but will continue to monitor and address new information as 
it becomes available.
    20. Comment: One commenter stated we should take in account the 
potential effects of global warming on tidewater goby habitat and 
therefore the Service should expand its designation of critical habitat 
to include unoccupied habitat, particularly upstream of barriers.
    Our Response: The average surface temperature of the Earth is 
widely recognized by scientists throughout the world to be increasing 
(IPCC 2007, p. 4). Projected changes in climate include changes in 
precipitation, sea level rise, and increased frequency and intensity in 
extreme climatic events leading to increased climate variability (IPCC 
2002, p. 4). These changes will have a serious impact on the 
environment on a global scale. However, it is much more difficult to 
predict how the climate of a local area will change and how that change 
will affect the local environment. We are required by section 
4(b)(1)(A) of the Act to use the best scientific data available in 
determining the areas to designate as critical habitat for the 
tidewater goby. We simply do not have good science at this point that 
provides local predictions. Therefore, we cannot account for such 
potential but unknown changes in local climate in our critical habitat 
designation. However, we do believe this designation does address the 
potential for climate change by inclusion of critical habitat units 
over a wide range of latitudes.

Comments Related to Criteria and Methodology

    21. Comment: One commenter stated that our approach to designating 
critical habitat could be improved or modified through more public 
outreach, such as providing information about tidewater goby life 
history or habitat requirements at some of the critical habitat 
localities.
    Our Response: We published the Recovery Plan for the Tidewater Goby 
in 2005. The recovery plan provides detailed information on the biology 
of the species, reasons for its decline, habitat requirements, the 
actions needed for recovery of the species, and additional information 
for each of the localities designated as critical habitat for the 
species. The recovery plan is available on the Web at http://ecos.fws.gov/speciesProfile/SpeciesReport.do?spcode=E071. For future 
reference, all recovery plans and other documents relating to a species 
can be found on our Web site at http://ecos.fws.gov.
    22. Comment: One commenter stated that critical habitat for 
tidewater gobies should not be limited to only those areas downstream 
of barriers.
    Our Response: We consider a barrier, such as sills, dams, and 
raised culverts, to be impassable by tidewater gobies. Therefore, we 
consider the areas above the barriers to not contain the features 
essential to the conservation of the species.

Comments on Other Critical Habitat Related Issues

    23. Comment: One commenter's opinion was that designation of 
critical habitat is of little additional value for the tidewater goby.
    Our Response: The process of designating critical habitat as 
described in the Act requires that the Service identify those lands on 
which are found the physical or biological features essential to the 
conservation of the species that may require special management 
considerations or protection, and the areas outside the current range 
of the species that are essential for its conservation. In identifying 
those lands, the Service must consider the recovery needs of the 
species, such that the habitat that is identified, if managed, could 
provide for the survival and recovery of the species. Furthermore, once 
critical habitat has been designated, Federal agencies must consult 
with the Service under section 7(a)(2) of the Act to ensure that their 
actions will not adversely modify designated critical habitat or 
jeopardize the continued existence of the species. As noted in the 
Ninth Circuit's Gifford Pinchot decision, the jeopardy and adverse 
modification standards are distinct, and adverse modification 
evaluations require consideration of impacts to the recovery of 
species. Thus, through the section 7(a)(2) consultation process, 
critical habitat designations provide recovery benefits to species by 
ensuring that Federal actions will not destroy or adversely modify 
designated critical habitat.
    Another benefit of including lands in critical habitat is that 
designation of critical habitat serves to educate landowners, State and 
local governments, and the public regarding the potential conservation 
value of an area. Although the designation of critical habitat may not, 
in and of itself, restrict human activities within an area or mandate 
any specific management or conservation actions, it does help focus 
Federal, Tribal, State, and private conservation and management efforts 
in such areas by clearly delineating areas of high conservation value 
for the tidewater goby. In general, critical habitat designation always 
has educational benefits; however, in some cases, they may be redundant 
with other educational effects.
    24. Comment: One commenter requested clarification regarding the 
October 9, 2007, press release noticing the completion of the tidewater 
goby 5-year review and its recommendation to downlist the species 
throughout its range. More specifically, the commenter wanted to know 
how a reclassification to threatened would affect the status of 
designated critical habitat.
    Our Response: Critical habitat applies equally to both endangered 
and threatened species. Therefore, reclassifying the tidewater goby 
from endangered to threatened would have no affect on the designated 
critical habitat.
    25. Comment: One commenter expressed concern that designation of 
critical habitat for the tidewater goby may conflict with management of 
Aleutian Canada goose (Branta Canadensis leucopareia) habitat (Humboldt 
Bay and Eel River Delta areas) (grazing benefits the goose by improving 
its habitat), by restricting grazing in upland areas.
    Our Response: The designation of critical habitat does not, in and 
of itself, restrict human activities within an area or mandate any 
specific management or conservation actions. However, one of

[[Page 5927]]

the benefits of critical habitat is to help focus Federal, Tribal, 
State, and private conservation and management efforts in such areas. 
With the knowledge that there is an area that is important to both the 
Aleutian Canada goose and the tidewater goby, management actions 
compatible with both species may be undertaken.

Comments Related to Policy Compliance

    26. Comment: One commenter stated that Federal statutes and 
regulations require Federal agencies to coordinate their initial 
planning efforts with local government. Presidential Executive Order 
12372 requires Federal agencies to coordinate actions and projects with 
local governments. To date, the Service has failed to initiate 
coordination with Del Norte County as required by Federal statute.
    Our Response: Executive Order 12372 (47 FR 30959; July 14, 1982), 
Intergovernmental Review of Federal Programs pertains to Federal 
Assistance and is not directly pertinent to this designation of 
critical habitat. However, we do address the issue of Federal-State 
Coordination below. Please see the Federalism section for additional 
information.

Comments Related to the Draft Economic Analysis

    27. Comment: Several commenters requested that we extend the 
comment period on the draft economic analysis.
    Our Response: Due to time constraints associated with the consent 
decree dated February 27, 2003, we were not able to extend or open an 
additional public comment period.
    28. Comment: One commenter stated that the economic analysis does 
not provide grounds for exclusion of any critical habitat because it 
does not include benefits.
    Our Response: The economic analysis for the tidewater goby did 
consider economic benefits. Our draft economic analysis predicted an 
overall net cost savings of $10.2 million to $65.2 million 
(undiscounted) over the next 20 years.
    29. Comment: One commenter stated that the economic analysis fails 
to estimate the benefits of critical habitat designation. This comment 
includes concerns that the Service: Did not identify the vast majority 
of benefits from designating critical habitat, including benefits to 
ecosystem services, wetland protection, and other use and non-use 
values of habitat; violated the Act by failing to quantify benefits; 
improperly relied on flawed OMB guidance regarding the estimation of 
benefits; does not properly qualitatively describe the benefits of 
designation; improperly establishes the baseline because benefits are 
not estimated; does not prove the infeasibility of estimating and 
monetizing benefits in the analysis; could easily quantify the benefits 
of designating critical habitat; and ignores available information from 
multiple sources that could have been used to estimate benefits.
    Our Response: The economic analysis for the tidewater goby did 
include benefits. Our draft economic analysis predicted an overall net 
cost savings of $10.2 million to $65.2 million (undiscounted) over the 
next 20 years. The only quantifiable benefit of goby conservation 
identified through the economic analysis is the saving associated with 
not constructing a sewage bypass system. While the economic analysis 
acknowledges the potential for other types of economic benefits, data 
were not available, for example, to identify where and to what extent 
property values may be affected by tidewater goby conservation efforts. 
For example, while property valuation studies may provide estimates of 
the value to property of being near environmentally pristine area, 
these studies do not address what changes in property values will 
result from critical habitat designation.
    Section 4(b)(2) of the Act requires the Secretary to designate 
critical habitat based on the best scientific data available after 
taking into consideration the economic impact, impact on national 
security, and any other relevant impact, of specifying any particular 
area as critical habitat. Where data are available, the economic 
analyses do attempt to measure the net economic impact.
    Most of the other benefit categories submitted by the commenter 
reflect broader social values, which are not the same as economic 
impacts. While the Secretary must consider economic and other relevant 
impacts as part of the final decision-making process under section 
4(b)(2) of the Act, the Act explicitly states that it is the 
government's policy to conserve all threatened and endangered species 
and the ecosystems upon which they depend. Thus, we believe that 
explicit consideration of broader social values for the subspecies and 
its habitat, beyond the more traditionally defined economic impacts, is 
not necessary as Congress has already clarified the social importance.
    30. Comment: One commenter stated that the baseline is improperly 
set because it relies on the Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals instead of 
the Ninth Circuit, and that the baseline should be compared with the 
incremental impacts of the designation. Similarly, another commenter 
expressed concern that the economic analysis improperly measures the 
impacts of designation by including costs that would have been incurred 
regardless of critical habitat designation. This commenter stated that 
impacts such as land acquisition and grazing costs are not properly 
integrated into the baseline and should not be considered as a 
consequence of designation, and that the economic analysis does not 
describe the costs attributable solely to designation.
    Our Response: Appendix B of the Final Economic Analysis (FEA) 
estimates the potential incremental impacts of critical habitat 
designation for the goby. It does so by attempting to isolate those 
direct and indirect impacts that are expected to be triggered 
specifically by the critical habitat designation. The incremental 
conservation efforts and associated impacts included in Appendix B 
would not be expected to occur absent the designation of critical 
habitat for the tidewater goby. Total present value potential 
incremental impacts are estimated to be $206,000 discounted at three 
percent. All other impacts quantified in the FEA are considered 
baseline impacts and are not expected to be affected by the critical 
habitat designation.
    31. Comment: One commenter requested clarification regarding the 
50-meter (m) buffer used in the analysis of the study areas for the 
economic analysis. The commenter was concerned that the term ``buffer'' 
indicated that these areas will be barred from use.
    Our Response: The study area analyzed in the draft economic 
analysis included the critical habitat units, which are primarily 
lagoons, estuaries, and coastal streams, and a 50-meter (m) wide stream 
buffer that extended 100 m upstream of the critical habitat units. 
These buffer areas are not included in the critical habitat units. 
However, for the purposes of the analysis it was assumed that 
activities conducted in these areas could indirectly affect the 
critical habitat units. Therefore, the draft economic analysis took 
into consideration the potential economic costs that could result from 
conservation efforts for the tidewater goby within the buffer areas. 
Also, the term ``buffer'' as used in Chapter 3 of the FEA has been 
clarified to indicate that it is for analytical purposes only.
    32. Comment: Two commenters stated that the land identified as 
private land within the grazing study area, which the economic analysis 
determined as

[[Page 5928]]

lacking a Federal nexus compelling consultation, should have been 
addressed in the economic analysis. The commenter is concerned that 
some combination of Federal, State, and local laws may affect grazing 
on those private lands.
    Our Response: Review of existing land management documents, section 
7 consultations, and State and private grazing practices do not 
indicate that this private land is likely to be affected. Private 
grazers have not been affected by goby conservation in the past, there 
are no known voluntary private grazing restrictions, and, under the 
Act, the critical habitat designation will not affect grazing on 
private land absent a Federal nexus. Further, no information is 
available to suggest that critical habitat designation may trigger 
additional regulation under other State and local laws concerning 
grazing. This analysis therefore forecasts that private grazing 
activity is not likely to be affected by goby conservation.
    33. Comment: One commenter stated that the draft economic analysis 
does not address municipal land ownership of grazing land, but counts 
it as privately-owned land instead. The commenter expressed concern 
that the economic analysis should predict future conservation efforts 
on municipal land.
    Our Response: Review of existing land management documents, 
consultations, and State and private grazing practices do not indicate 
that municipal land is likely to be affected differently than private 
land. Grazing on municipal land has not been affected by goby 
conservation in the past, and information gathered in the development 
of the analysis did not suggest that it was likely to be affected in 
the future. Under the Act, the critical habitat designation will not 
affect grazing on municipal land absent a Federal nexus, and there is 
no information to suggest that State or local regulation may be 
tightened because of the designation of critical habitat. This analysis 
therefore forecasts that grazing on municipal lands is unlikely to be 
affected by goby conservation.
    34. Comment: One commenter expressed concern about impacts of 
potential changes in grazing restrictions and management practices on 
the state lands due to critical habitat.
    Our Response: Information received during the comment period 
concerning the California Department of Fish and Game's (CDFG) grazing 
management practices on State lands in the study area has prompted 
changes in Chapter 3 of the economic analysis. The FEA estimates 
foregone forage values and construction costs as part of the baseline 
impacts of CDFG management. These ongoing, co-extensive impacts are 
expected to continue into the future. There are no anticipated changes 
for grazing practices in the study area that will result from the 
critical habitat designation. Further, no additional impacts to grazing 
activities are expected to result from this rulemaking as described in 
Chapter 3 of the FEA.
    35. Comment: One commenter stated that there are alternative ways 
to manage grazing other than exclusion.
    Our Response: The commenter is correct; there are alternative ways 
to manage grazing other than exclusion. However, CDFG currently manages 
grazing in tidewater goby habitat through exclusion. As noted in 
Chapter 3 of the FEA, the practice of excluding livestock from 
tidewater goby habitat is unlikely to change after critical habitat 
designation as CDFG does not anticipate that there will be any future 
changes to grazing management practices. Chapter 3 provides post-
designation cost estimates for current CDFG management practices that 
CDFG has validated and indicates are unlikely to change. Total impacts 
to grazing are estimated to be $1.53 million, undiscounted (20 percent 
lost grazing value and 80 percent fencing maintenance and construction 
costs).
    36. Comment: Two commenters stated that the undiscounted impacts to 
grazing of $1,430,000 are understated. The commenters pointed out that 
the number of Animal Unit Months (AUMs) should be multiplied by the 
number of months grazed.
    Our Response: New information received during the comment period 
from the CDFG has been incorporated into the FEA regarding grazing 
impacts. As described in Chapter 3, the estimates of foregone grazing 
values incorporate the number of months in the grazing season. The 
information received during the comment period provided better data on 
both grazing and fencing construction and maintenance impacts. The FEA 
estimates foregone forage values and construction costs as part of the 
baseline impacts of CDFG management. These ongoing, co-extensive 
impacts are expected to continue into the future. The draft economic 
analysis estimated $1.43 million in undiscounted total impacts (4 
percent lost grazing value and 95 percent fence construction and 
maintenance costs). Based upon the information received during the 
comment period, total impacts to grazing are estimated to be $1.53 
million, undiscounted (20 percent lost grazing value and 80 percent 
fencing maintenance and construction costs).
    37. Comment: Three commenters stated that potential grazing land 
should be valued not at its rental rate, but at the opportunity cost in 
terms of the amount of livestock that could not be produced. These 
commenters stated that reducing grazing acreage has additional effects 
beyond the market value of the land.
    Our Response: As discussed in Section 3.1.3 of the FEA, the 
analysis applies a well-accepted method of assigning value to grazing 
land using the forage value available on that land, expressed in AUMs, 
as a proxy. The grazing rental rate is the opportunity cost of the 
forage that is given up. This price is the amount that would have to be 
paid to purchase an equivalent amount of grazing forage somewhere else.
    38. Comment: Two commenters stated that some of the land that will 
be removed from grazing may be organic, which has a higher rental 
value.
    Our Response: While the FEA quantifies ongoing, co-extensive 
impacts of foregone grazing associated with goby conservation, it does 
not forecast further limitations on grazing activity as a result of 
critical habitat designation. While organic grazing rental rates are 
likely to be higher, consultation with CDFG has indicated that the 
rental estimates provided in Chapter 3 closely approximate the total 
impacts of the existing grazing management program.
    39. Comment: One commenter stated that the economic analysis does 
not explain the presence of the pre-designation impacts.
    Our Response: As discussed in the introduction to Chapter 1 and in 
Section 1.4.6 of the FEA, pre-designation impacts are provided as 
context for the ongoing goby conservation efforts in the post-
designation period. The continuation of existing policies and practices 
post-designation is evident when comparing the pre- and post-
designation impact exhibits in Chapters 2 through 6.
    40. Comment: One commenter said that the cost of constructing 
exclosure fencing would be a huge burden on the ranching community.
    Our Response: The question of who is affected by exclosure costs 
has been clarified in Section 3.1.2 of the FEA. Following conversations 
with CDFG, the costs of building fencing quantified in the analysis are 
forecast to be paid by CDFG and not by the ranching community.
    41. Comment: One commenter stated that the economic analysis did 
not address potential critical habitat designation impacts on 
recreation and recreation dependent businesses.

[[Page 5929]]

    Our Response: Review of management documents and consultations, and 
interviews with the National Park Service, counties, municipalities, 
and local park officials did not indicate that goby conservation 
efforts would be undertaken that may affect recreational activities. A 
sentence clarifying this point has been added to Section 1.1 of the 
FEA.
    42. Comment: One commenter stated that the economic analysis does 
not consider secondary effects on resource conservation districts that 
currently sub-contract to provide grazing management services.
    Our Response: As described in Chapter 3, the economic analysis does 
not predict any changes in grazing policy as a result of critical 
habitat designation.
    43. Comment: One commenter stated that the economic analysis failed 
to address what could happen if sandbar breaching at Lake Earl is no 
longer permitted. The commenter cited excerpts from breaching 
consultations and says that the consultation appears to favor not 
breaching, which would cause substantial economic impacts to property.
    Our Response: As indicated in Section 2.2 of the FEA, a review of 
the consultation history and discussions with the Service, CDFG, and 
the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, indicate that the cessation of 
sandbar breaching permitting in Lake Earl is improbable.

Comments From the State

    44. Comment: The California Department of Fish and Game stated that 
our critical habitat designations are premature and we should wait 
until our current data gathering and genetic analyses for Del Norte, 
Humboldt, and Mendocino Counties are completed and disclosed.
    Our Response: As required by section 4(b)(1)(A) of the Act, we used 
the best scientific data available in determining the areas to 
designate as critical habitat for the tidewater goby. Further, under a 
consent decree, we are restricted to a specific deadline for finalizing 
the critical habitat designation. As such, we must use the best 
scientific data available to us at this time and cannot delay our 
designation to allow for possible additional data. Within the area 
mentioned, the commenter suggests that the presence of tidewater gobies 
within Humboldt Bay does not indicate that the population sites are 
persistent. On the contrary, there are several sites where surveys 
indicate alternating presence and absence of gobies. We believe that 
the significance of detecting tidewater gobies within Humboldt Bay as a 
unit should be emphasized, and due to their potential ability to move 
within the bay, we believe that we designated the area with features 
essential to the species within Humboldt Bay.
    45. Comment: The California Department of Fish and Game asserted 
that we have a lack of understanding regarding the processes that drive 
and maintain metapopulation dynamics (e.g., hydrology, hydrological 
connections, source population identification, persistence of sink 
populations) used in determining the PCEs and identifying whether 
critical habitat exists at certain locations in the absence of 
tidewater goby presence.
    Our Response: The process we use to identify the features that are 
essential to the conservation of the tidewater goby reflects a complete 
assessment of the current, best scientific data available. We also 
solicited information from knowledgeable biologists that have worked 
with the tidewater goby. We did not find any locations that are 
currently unoccupied to be essential to the conservation of the 
species.

Summary of Changes From Previously Designated Critical Habitat and 2006 
Proposed Rule

    On November 20, 2000, we designated critical habitat for the 
tidewater goby at 10 coastal stream segments in Orange and San Diego 
Counties, California, totaling approximately 1,581 acres (ac) (642 
hectares (ha)) (65 FR 69693). We proposed to revise this designation to 
a total of approximately 10,003 ac (4,050 ha) on November 28, 2006 (71 
FR 68914). This is an increase of approximately 8,422 ac (3,408 ha) 
from the previously designated critical habitat. In this section we 
present the differences between what was designated in 2000 and what is 
included in this revised final designation.
    The 2000 final critical habitat designation (65 FR 69693, November 
20, 2000) consisted of 10 units totaling 1,581 ac (642 ha). In the 2000 
rule, critical habitat was only designated in Orange and San Diego 
Counties due to uncertainty over the future listing status of tidewater 
goby populations to the north. The Service had published a proposed 
rule on June 24, 1999, to: (1) Delist populations of the tidewater goby 
in areas north of Orange and San Diego Counties, and (2) retain the 
tidewater goby populations in Orange and San Diego Counties as an 
endangered distinct population segment based on our re-evaluation of 
the species' status throughout its range (64 FR 33816). Subsequently, 
the Service determined that the tidewater goby should remain listed as 
endangered throughout its range and withdrew the June 24, 1999, 
proposal (67 FR 67803, November 7, 2002). In this revised final 
critical habitat designation we have designated critical habitat for 
the tidewater goby throughout its range. We considered but did not 
include the 10 units that were previously designated in Orange and San 
Diego Counties. We exempted 8 of the 10 units, all of which are located 
on U.S. Marine Corps Base, Camp Pendleton (Base), under section 4(a)(3) 
of the Act because these areas are subject to the Base's INRMP and we 
determined that the INRMP provides a benefit to the tidewater goby and 
its habitat (see Application of Section 4(a)(3) of the Act--Approved 
Integrated Natural Resource Management Plans section). We also 
considered but did not include the remaining 2 units out of the 10 from 
the 2000 rule (65 FR 69693), Aliso Creek in Orange County and Agua 
Hedionda Lagoon in northern San Diego County. For several reasons, we 
have now determined that these two localities are not essential for the 
conservation of the species. The 2000 designation found that the eight 
occupied localities on the Base were not sufficient for the 
conservation of the species. However, at that time, the Base did not 
have an approved INRMP and therefore, the future of the tidewater goby 
on the Base was not assured. Subsequent to the 2000 designation, the 
Base completed its INRMP, which includes protections for the tidewater 
goby. Specific measures in the INRMP that benefit the tidewater goby 
include: (1) General avoidance of estuarine wetlands by all military 
activities, (2) maintenance of currently and historically occupied 
tidewater goby habitat, (3) compensation for unavoidable impacts, (4) 
regular monitoring of tidewater goby populations, and (5) controlling 
and removing exotic plants and fish.
    Second, more information is now available on the status of both the 
tidewater goby throughout its range and on the Base. We now know that 
there are many more occupied localities than when the species was 
listed in 1994. In our recently completed 5-year review for the 
tidewater goby, we found that the number of occupied localities has 
more than doubled since the species was listed (106 versus 48) and 
concluded that the species was more resilient to perturbations such as 
drought than was believed when it was listed. As a result we 
recommended in the 5-year review that the tidewater goby be downlisted 
to threatened. We also now have a longer record of the continued 
occupancy of those localities

[[Page 5930]]

on the Base, which supports our view that they make up 1-2 viable 
metapopulations. Therefore, we have now determined that the occupied 
habitat in Orange and San Diego Counties is sufficient to support the 
natural pattern of local extinctions and recolonizations (Swift et al. 
1989, Moyle et al. 1995, Lafferty et al. 1999b, Swenson 1999) that 
characterize the tidewater goby's population biology. Thus, the 
unoccupied areas designated in 2000 (i.e., Aliso Creek and Agua 
Hedionda Lagoon) are no longer considered essential for the 
conservation of the tidewater goby.
    We also made changes to our proposed designation in preparing this 
final critical habitat designation for the tidewater goby. We reviewed 
and considered comments from the public and peer reviewers on the 
proposed revised designation of critical habitat published on November 
28, 2006 (71 FR 68914). We also received comments from the public on 
the draft economic analysis published on September 25, 2007 (72 FR 
54411). As a result of comments received, we made changes to our 
proposed designation, as follows:
    (1) Based on peer review comments, we further refined our 
definition of source populations (see response to comment 3). However, 
this did not result in any change in the designation.
    (2) We made minor adjustments to the number of areas historically 
and currently occupied by tidewater gobies because in some cases we 
have combined two adjacent areas into one, and a few areas have 
recently become occupied. However, these changes did not affect the 
number or acreage of the units proposed for designation.

Critical Habitat

    Critical habitat is defined in section 3 of the Act as:
    (1) The specific areas within the geographical area occupied by a 
species, at the time it is listed in accordance with the Act, on which 
are found those physical or biological features
    (a) Essential to the conservation of the species and
    (b) Which may require special management considerations or 
protection; and
    (2) Specific areas outside the geographical area occupied by a 
species at the time it is listed, upon a determination that such areas 
are essential for the conservation of the species.
    Conservation, as defined under section 3 of the Act, means to use 
and the use of all methods and procedures that are necessary to bring 
any endangered species or threatened species to the point at which the 
measures provided under the Act are no longer necessary.
    Critical habitat receives protection under section 7 of the Act 
through the prohibition against Federal agencies carrying out, funding, 
or authorizing the destruction or adverse modification of critical 
habitat. Section 7(a)(2) of the Act requires consultation on Federal 
actions that may affect critical habitat. The designation of critical 
habitat does not affect land ownership or establish a refuge, 
wilderness, reserve, preserve, or other conservation area. Such 
designation does not allow the government or public access to private 
lands. Such designation does not require implementation of restoration, 
recovery, or enhancement measures by non-federal landowners. Where a 
non-federal landowner seeks or requests federal agency funding or 
authorization for an action that may affect a listed species or 
critical habitat, the consultation requirements of Section 7(a)(2) 
would apply, but even in the event of a destruction or adverse 
modification finding, the Federal action agency's and the applicant's 
obligation is not to restore or recover the species, but to implement 
reasonable and prudent alternatives to avoid destruction or adverse 
modification of critical habitat.
    To be included in a critical habitat designation, habitat within 
the geographical area occupied by the species at the time it was listed 
must contain features that are essential to the conservation of the 
species. The Service must identify, to the extent known using the best 
scientific data available, habitat areas that provide essential life 
cycle needs of the species (areas on which are found the PCEs, as 
defined at 50 CFR 424.12(b)). The features at issue must also be ones 
that may require special management considerations or protection.
    Under the Act, we can designate areas outside the geographical area 
occupied by the species at the time it is listed as critical habitat 
only when we determine that those areas are essential for the 
conservation of the species.
    Section 4 of the Act requires that we designate critical habitat on 
the basis of the best scientific and commercial data available. 
Further, our Policy on Information Standards Under the Endangered 
Species Act, published in the Federal Register on July 1, 1994 (59 FR 
34271), the Information Quality Act (section 515 of the Treasury and 
General Government Appropriations Act for Fiscal Year 2001 (Pub. L. 
106-554; H.R. 5658)), and our associated Information Quality Guidelines 
provide criteria, establish procedures, and provide guidance to ensure 
that decisions are based on the best scientific data available. They 
require Service biologists, to the extent consistent with the Act and 
with the use of the best scientific data available, to use primary and 
original sources of information as the basis for recommendations to 
designate critical habitat.
    When we are determining which areas may be designated as critical 
habitat, a primary source of information is generally the information 
developed during the listing process for the species. Additional 
information sources include the recovery plan for the species, articles 
in peer-reviewed journals, conservation plans developed by States and 
counties, scientific status surveys and studies, biological 
assessments, other unpublished materials, and expert opinion or 
personal knowledge.
    Habitat is often dynamic, and species may move from one area to 
another over time. Furthermore, we recognize that critical habitat 
designated at a particular point in time may not include all of the 
habitat areas that we may later determine are necessary for the 
recovery of the species. For these reasons, critical habitat 
designation does not signal that habitat outside the designation is 
unimportant or may not be required for recovery of the species.
    Areas that are important to the conservation of the tidewater goby, 
but are outside the critical habitat designation, will continue to be 
subject to conservation actions implemented by Federal agencies under 
section 7(a)(1) of the Act. Areas that support populations are also 
subject to the regulatory protections afforded by the section 7(a)(2) 
jeopardy standard, as determined on the basis of the best available 
scientific information at the time of the agency action. Federally 
funded or permitted projects affecting listed species outside their 
designated critical habitat areas may still result in jeopardy findings 
in some cases. Similarly, critical habitat designations made on the 
basis of the best available information at the time of designation will 
not control the direction and substance of future recovery plans, 
habitat conservation plans (HCPs), or other species conservation 
planning efforts, if information available at the time of these 
planning efforts calls for a different outcome.

Primary Constituent Elements

    In accordance with section 3(5)(A)(i) of the Act and the 
regulations at 50 CFR 424.12, in determining which areas within the 
geographical area occupied at

[[Page 5931]]

the time of listing to designate as critical habitat, we consider those 
physical and biological features that are essential to the conservation 
of the species to be the primary constituent elements (PCEs) laid out 
in the appropriate quantity and spatial arrangement for conservation of 
the species. These include, but are not limited to:
    (1) Space for individual and population growth and for normal 
behavior;
    (2) Food, water, air, light, minerals, or other nutritional or 
physiological requirements;
    (3) Cover or shelter;
    (4) Sites for breeding, reproduction, and rearing (or development) 
of offspring; and
    (5) Habitats that are protected from disturbance or are 
representative of the historical geographical and ecological 
distributions of a species.

The specific PCEs required for the tidewater goby are derived from the 
biological needs of the tidewater goby as described in the final 
listing rule, the proposed revised critical habitat rule (71 FR 68914), 
and information contained in this final rule.

Space for Individual and Population Growth and Normal Behavior

Saline Aquatic Habitat
    Tidewater gobies occur in lagoons, estuaries, and backwater marshes 
that are adjacent to the Pacific Ocean (Wang 1982, p. 14; Irwin and 
Soltz 1984, p. 27; Swift et al. 1989, p. 1; Swenson 1993, p. 3; Moyle 
2002, p. 431). Tidewater gobies are most commonly found in waters with 
relatively low salinities, i.e., less than 10 to 12 parts per thousand 
(ppt) (Swift et al. 1989, p. 7). This species can, however, tolerate a 
wide range of salinities and is frequently found in coastal habitats 
with higher salinity levels (Swift et al. 1989, p. 7; Worcester 1992, 
p. 106; Swift et al. 1997, pp. 15-22). The species has been collected 
in salinities as high as 42 ppt (Swift et al. 1989, p. 7). The species' 
tolerance of high salinities likely enables it to withstand some 
exposure to the marine environment, allowing it to recolonize nearby 
lagoons and estuaries following flood events. However, tidewater gobies 
have only rarely been captured in the marine environment (Swift et al. 
1989, p. 7), and they appear to enter the ocean only when flushed out 
of lagoons, estuaries, and river mouths by storm events or human-caused 
breaches of sand bars.
    The goal of the recovery plan for the tidewater goby is to preserve 
the diversity of habitats that occur within the range of the species, 
the metapopulation structure of the species, and genetic diversity 
(Service 2005). The recovery plan identifies 26 subunits throughout the 
range of the tidewater goby. We designated critical habitat in all 26 
subunits included in the recovery plan, except for those on Vandenberg 
Air Force Base (Santa Barbara County) and Marine Corps Base, Camp 
Pendleton (San Diego County), which have Integrated National Resource 
Management Plans (INRMP) that provide protection for the tidewater 
goby. These areas have been exempted from this final designation of 
critical habitat (see Application of Section 4(a)(3) of the Act--
Approved Integrated Natural Resource Management Plans section). We 
believe these 44 critical habitat units, in addition to those subunits 
covered by INRMP's, are the areas essential to the conservation of the 
species throughout its range, as they adequately represent the 
variation of both the habitat and genetic composition of the species, 
and they will support the species' recovery. As such, we did not 
designate any other areas, including areas outside the geographical 
area occupied by the species, as critical habitat. For a further 
discussion of how we determined how much space was essential to the 
conservation of the species, please see the Criteria Used To Identify 
Critical Habitat section below.
Water Depth, Velocity, and Temperature
    Tidewater gobies are most commonly collected in water less than 6 
feet (ft) (2 meters (m)) deep (Wang 1982, pp. 4-5; Worchester 1992, p. 
53). However, recently tidewater gobies were collected in Big Lagoon in 
Humboldt County during the breeding season at a water depth of 15 ft 
(4.6 m) (Goldsmith 2006a, p. 1). Whether use of these deeper waters is 
confined to this locality or is more widespread will require additional 
sampling at various depths at various locations.
    Tidewater gobies tend to avoid currents and concentrate in slack-
water areas; this suggests they are less likely to occur in areas with 
a steep gradient or microhabitats that have a substantial current. At 
Pescadero Creek in San Mateo County, tidewater gobies were absent from 
portions of the flowing creek that had a surface velocity of 0.15 m per 
second (0.49 ft per second), and the species was instead more densely 
concentrated in nearby eddies with lower water velocities (Swenson 
1993, p. 3).
    Backwater marshes, including lateral sloughs, are likely to be 
important to tidewater gobies for multiple reasons. Flood waters with 
increased water velocities can have a negative effect on tidewater 
gobies (Irwin and Soltz 1984, p. 27), and backwater marshes may provide 
important refuges that reduce the likelihood that tidewater gobies will 
be flushed out of the lagoons or estuaries and into the marine 
environment during heavy winter floods (Lafferty et al. 1999a, p. 619). 
Evidence that increased flows can eliminate tidewater gobies from a 
locality is suggested by the elimination of tidewater gobies from 
Waddell Creek in Santa Cruz County following a flood event in the 
winter of 1972-73 (Nelson as cited in Swift 1990, p. 2); this creek had 
been channelized and no longer afforded protection from high flows 
during flood events. Likewise, the channelization and elimination of 
habitat lateral to the main stream channel upstream of San Onofre 
Lagoon in San Diego County probably led to the flushing and extirpation 
of tidewater gobies from this locality during a storm in 1993 (Swift et 
al. 1994, p. 22-23). The importance of backwater marshes is also 
highlighted by the fact that tidewater gobies in these habitats can 
achieve a greater size than in adjacent lagoons and creeks (Swenson 
1993, pp. 6-7).
Freshwater Habitat
    Tidewater gobies also occur in freshwater streams up gradient and 
tributary to brackish habitats; the salinity of these freshwater 
streams is typically less than 0.5 ppt. The available documentation 
demonstrates that in some areas, tidewater gobies can occur 1.6 to 7.3 
miles (mi) (2.6 to 11.7 kilometers (km)) upstream from the ocean 
environment (Irwin and Soltz 1984, p. 27; Swift et al. 1997, p. 20; 
Chamberlain and Goldsmith 2006, p. 1).
    Within a 2-hour period, hundreds of tidewater gobies have been 
observed to move upstream of a fixed location into areas in the Santa 
Ynez River 3.2 mi (5.1 km) from the ocean in Santa Barbara County 
(Swift et al. 1997, p. 20). The fact that this many individuals were 
observed to move through an area suggests that freshwater tributaries 
in some riverine systems provide important habitat for individual and 
population growth.
    We have reviewed a variety of documents to determine how far 
tidewater gobies have been detected upstream from the ocean. 
Chamberlain and Goldsmith (2006, p. 1) found tidewater gobies 1.6 to 
2.0 mi (2.6 to 3.3 km) upstream from the ocean in the Ten Mile River in 
Mendocino County; Swift et al. (1997, p. 18) found tidewater gobies 4.6 
mi (7.3 km) upstream from the ocean in the San Antonio River in Santa 
Barbara County; Swift et al. (1997,

[[Page 5932]]

p. 20) found tidewater gobies at various distances from 3.9 to 7.3 mi 
(6.2 to 11.7 km) upstream from the ocean in the Santa Ynez River in 
Santa Barbara County; and Holland (1992, p. 9) found tidewater gobies 3 
mi (5 km) upstream from the ocean in the Santa Margarita River in San 
Diego County. Collectively, these data suggest the average distance 
tidewater gobies have been detected upstream from the ocean in medium 
to large rivers is approximately 3.8 mi (6.1 km). Other than high 
stream gradient, the reasons for the variation in up-stream movement 
between one locality and another have not been determined; salinity 
could be an important factor. Upstream salinity levels may vary with 
time of year, tidal cycles, storm events, and topography. However, 
Swift et al. (1997, p. 26) indicate that gradient and lack of barriers 
(e.g., beaver dams, sills) are more important factors than salinity to 
upstream dispersal.
Sandbars
    Many of the locations occupied by the tidewater goby closely 
correspond to stream drainages. Under natural conditions, these stream 
drainages and the marine environment collectively act to produce 
sandbars that form a barrier between the ocean and the lagoon, estuary, 
backwater marsh, and freshwater stream system (Habel and Armstrong 
1977, p. 39). These sandbars tend to be present during the late spring, 
summer, and fall seasons. The presence of a sandbar can create a lower 
salinity level (i.e., 5 to 10 ppt) in the area up gradient from the 
sandbar (Carpelan 1967, p. 324) than would otherwise exist if there 
were no sandbar.
    Tidewater gobies are more commonly associated with these lower 
salinity levels than with the salinity levels that occur in the ocean 
or an estuary without a sandbar, i.e., about 35 ppt. The formation of a 
sandbar also creates a larger area for aquatic organisms because water 
becomes ponded behind the sandbar. Artificial breaching of a sandbar 
tends to result in a rapid decrease in water levels and increases the 
likelihood that adult tidewater gobies, their nests, and their fry 
could become stranded and die, or become concentrated and subject to 
greater levels of predation pressure by birds or other predators.
    In Humboldt Bay and the Eel River estuary in Humboldt County, a 
large amount of salt and brackish marsh habitat was eliminated through 
the construction of levees and drainage channels. As a result, several 
of the localities occupied by the tidewater goby do not contain natural 
sandbars between the ocean and habitat where the species is present. 
Instead, manmade water control structures, such as tidegates and 
culverts, exist between tidal waters and the locations where tidewater 
gobies occur. These tidegates have been in place for decades, and in 
some cases, they provide habitat conditions similar to those created by 
the presence of a seasonal sandbar. In fact, most of the occupied 
tidewater goby habitats in the Humboldt Bay-Eel River estuaries are 
above tidegates.

Food

    Tidewater gobies feed mainly on macro-invertebrates such as mysid 
shrimp, gamarid amphipods, ostracods, and aquatic insects such as 
chironomid midge larvae (Irwin and Soltz 1984, p. 21-23; Swift et al. 
1989, p. 6; Swenson 1995, p. 87). The diets of adult and juvenile 
tidewater gobies tend to include the same relative abundance of 
different invertebrate species (Swenson and McCray 1996, p. 962).

Cover or Shelter

    A variety of native and nonnative fish species and fish-eating bird 
species such as egrets (Egretta spp.) and herons (e.g., great blue 
herons (Ardea herodias)) prey on tidewater gobies, and escape cover or 
shelter is necessary to reduce the likelihood that tidewater gobies 
will be preyed upon.
    A species' ability to persist when it is subject to predation 
pressure frequently depends on the presence of features that provide 
cover from predators, or the presence of a heterogeneous habitat that 
provides a greater level of structure which makes it more likely a prey 
species will avoid predation (Crowder and Cooper 1982, p. 1802; 
Gilinsky 1984, p. 455).
    At locations where tidewater gobies occur, submerged and emergent 
aquatic vegetation has the potential to provide cover from predators, 
and provide a greater degree of habitat heterogeneity or structure that 
would not otherwise exist if the aquatic vegetation was absent. Stable 
lagoons often possess dense aquatic vegetation that frequently consists 
of sago pondweed (Potamogeton pectinatus) or widgeon grass (e.g., 
Ruppia maritima and R. cirrhosa). At some locations, juvenile tidewater 
gobies are more prevalent in areas with at least some submergent 
vegetation as compared to other areas with no or little vegetation 
(Wang 1984, p. 16; Swenson 1994, p. 6; Trihey & Associates, Inc. 1996, 
p. 11). We believe it is reasonable to assume that the presence of 
submerged or emergent vegetation reduces the likelihood that tidewater 
gobies will be preyed upon by native and nonnative species because this 
vegetation provides cover and increases the level of habitat 
heterogeneity in a way that makes it more likely that tidewater gobies 
will persist where they co-occur with predators.
    Aquatic vegetation may provide some degree of shelter or refuge 
during flash flood events (Lafferty et al. 1999b, p. 621). These 
refuges presumably would result because the presence of vegetation 
would create lower water velocities than might otherwise occur in 
unvegetated areas. Such refuges would be especially important to fish 
species that are not strong swimmers, such as the tidewater goby.

Sites for Breeding, Reproduction, and Rearing (or Development) of 
Offspring

    The eggs of the tidewater goby are laid in burrows that are 
excavated by male fish. The available literature suggests that burrows 
most commonly occur in areas with relatively unconsolidated, clean, 
coarse sand (Swift et al. 1989, p. 8), while other documents 
demonstrate that burrows also occur in silt or mud (Wang 1982, p. 6). 
Swenson (1995, p. 148) demonstrated that tidewater gobies prefer a 
sandy substrate in the laboratory. Male tidewater gobies remain in the 
burrow to guard the eggs attached to the burrow ceiling and walls. Male 
tidewater gobies care for the embryos for approximately 9 to 11 days 
until they hatch, rarely if ever emerging from the burrow to feed 
(Swift et al. 1989, p. 4). Tidewater goby larvae occupy the water 
column after the eggs hatch (Wang 1982, p. 15). As they mature, they 
occupy the bottom substrate. Worcester (1992, pp. 77-79) found that 
larval tidewater gobies in Pico Creek Lagoon in San Luis Obispo County 
tended to use the deeper portion of the lagoon, i.e., 29 inches (in) 
(73 centimeters (cm)) deep water versus 17 in (42 cm) deep water.

Primary Constituents for the Tidewater Goby

    Under the Act and its implementing regulations, we are required to 
identify the known primary constituent elements (PCEs) within the 
geographical area occupied by the species that in the appropriate 
spatial arrangement and quantity comprise the physical or biological 
features essential to the conservation of the species which may require 
special management considerations or protection.
    Based on our current knowledge of the life history, biology, and 
ecology of the species and the requirements of the habitat to sustain 
the essential life history functions of the species, we have

[[Page 5933]]

determined that the tidewater goby's PCEs are:
    (1) Persistent, shallow (in the range of about 0.1 to 2 m), still-
to-slow-moving, aquatic habitat most commonly ranging in salinity from 
0.5 ppt to about 10 to 12 ppt, which provides adequate space for normal 
behavior and individual and population growth;
    (2) Substrates (e.g., sand, silt, mud) suitable for the 
construction of burrows for reproduction;
    (3) Submerged and emergent aquatic vegetation, such as Potamogeton 
pectinatus, Ruppia maritima, Typha latifolia, and Scirpus spp. that 
provides protection from predators; and
    (4) Presence of a sandbar(s) across the mouth of a lagoon or 
estuary during the late spring, summer, and fall that closes or 
partially closes the lagoon or estuary, thereby providing relatively 
stable water levels and salinity.
    This designation of critical habitat for the tidewater goby is 
designed for the conservation of PCEs necessary to support the life 
history functions of the species comprising the physical or biological 
features essential to the conservation of the species, and the areas 
supporting these features. We propose units for designation based on 
sufficient PCEs being present to support at least one of the species' 
life history functions. Some units contain all of these PCEs and 
support multiple life processes, while some units contain only a 
portion of these PCEs, those necessary to support the species' 
particular use of that habitat.

Special Management Considerations or Protection

    When designating critical habitat, we assess whether the areas 
within the geographical area occupied by the species at the time of 
listing contain the features essential to the conservation of the 
species that may require special management considerations or 
protection. Special management considerations or protection may be 
necessary to eliminate or reduce the magnitude of threats that affect 
the tidewater goby. Threats that were identified in the final rule 
listing the tidewater goby include: (1) Coastal development projects 
that result in the loss or alteration of coastal wetland habitat; (2) 
water diversions and alterations of water flows upstream of coastal 
lagoons and estuaries that negatively impact the species' breeding and 
foraging activities; (3) groundwater overdrafting that results in 
reduction of flows and negatively impacts the species' breeding and 
forging activities; (4) channelization of habitats where the species 
occurs that removes or reduces quality of habitat; (5) discharge of 
agricultural and sewage effluents; (6) cattle grazing and feral pig 
activity that results in increased sedimentation of coastal lagoons and 
riparian habitats, removes vegetative cover, increases ambient water 
temperatures, and eliminates plunge pools and collapsed undercut banks 
utilized by tidewater gobies; (7) introduced species that prey on the 
tidewater goby (e.g., bass, crayfish (Cambaris spp.)); (8) the 
inadequacy of existing regulatory mechanisms; (9) drought conditions 
that result in the deterioration of coastal and riparian habitats; and 
(10) competition with introduced species such as the yellowfin goby and 
chameleon goby.
    For the purposes of this rule, we have combined the ``water 
diversions and alterations of water flows upstream of coastal lagoons 
and estuaries that negatively impact the species' breeding and foraging 
activities'' threats category with ``drought conditions'' and 
``groundwater overdrafting,'' along with the addition of artificial 
breaching of sandbars, into one threat category called ``water 
diversions, alterations of water flows, artificial sandbar breaching, 
and groundwater overdrafting that negatively impact the species' 
breeding and foraging activities.'' Similarly, we have combined the two 
threat categories of ``introduced species that prey on the tidewater 
goby (e.g., bass, crayfish, (Cambaris spp.))'' and ``competition with 
introduced species such as the yellowfin goby and chameleon goby'' into 
one category called ``Introduced species that prey on, or compete with, 
the tidewater goby (e.g., yellowfin gobies, bass, and crayfish).'' 
Where special management may be necessary, regulatory mechanisms may 
need to be added or amended by local, State or Federal governmental 
entities if sufficient management is not achievable through voluntary 
mechanisms.
    We find that the PCEs present within all the areas we are 
designating may require special management considerations or protection 
due to threats to the tidewater goby or its habitat. Using current 
information provided in the tidewater goby recovery plan (Service 2005, 
Appendix E) and other information in our files, we have identified the 
PCEs, which may require special management considerations or protection 
from known threats within each of the critical habitat units (see 
Critical Habitat Designation and Table 2 below for a unit-by-unit 
description).

Criteria Used To Identify Critical Habitat

    As required by section 4(b)(1)(A) of the Act, we use the best 
scientific and commercial data available in determining the specific 
areas within the geographical area occupied by the species at the time 
of listing that contain features essential to the conservation of 
species which may require special management considerations or 
protection. We also use the best scientific and commercial data 
available when determining if any specific areas outside the 
geographical area occupied by the species at the time of listing are 
essential for the conservation of the species. We only designate areas 
outside the geographical area presently occupied by a species when a 
designation limited to its present range would be inadequate to ensure 
the conservation of the species (50 CFR 424.12e). Such data used 
included research published in peer-reviewed articles and presented in 
academic theses and agency reports; information submitted during 
section 7 consultations and by biologists holding section 10(a)(1)(A) 
recovery permits; information that is contained within the recently 
completed recovery plan for the tidewater goby (Service 2005); the 
final rule listing the tidewater goby (59 FR 5494); and regional 
Geographic Information System (GIS) coverage. We also solicited 
information from knowledgeable biologists that have worked with the 
tidewater goby.
    The process we use to identify the features that are essential to 
the conservation of the tidewater goby reflects a complete assessment 
of the current, best scientific data available. Much of the available 
information on the tidewater goby is summarized in the Recovery Plan 
for the Tidewater Goby (Service 2005). The emphasis of the recovery 
plan is to preserve the diversity of habitats that occur within the 
range of the tidewater goby, the metapopulation structure of the 
species, and genetic diversity. The recovery plan identifies 26 
subunits (i.e., groups) of tidewater goby localities and describes them 
as being metapopulations. A metapopulation is generally considered a 
group of genetically related subpopulations (i.e., localities as used 
elsewhere in this rule) that are linked by the dispersal of individuals 
between subpopulations. Some subunits consist of a single occupied 
locality. Others consist of multiple populations that make up a source-
sink type metapopulation where some subpopulations produce such an 
abundance of young that they are available to disperse to other 
localities (i.e., source), while others (sinks) may sometimes be 
extirpated until they are recolonized. These subunits identified

[[Page 5934]]

in the recovery plan were based on the most up-to-date scientific 
information on tidewater goby morphology and genetics available. Based 
on the goals of the recovery plan and the scientific literature that 
was used in the preparation of the plan, we developed criteria for 
identifying critical habitat units (see below). In this rule, we have 
also attempted to describe, in a more explicit manner, the criteria we 
use to determine the lateral and upstream extent of the critical 
habitat unit boundaries.
    The criteria for identifying which areas meet the definition of 
critical habitat include:
    (a) Areas occupied at the time of listing and that possess one or 
more PCEs such that the area supports one or more of the tidewater 
goby's life processes. We determined which areas were occupied at the 
time of listing from information in the recovery plan (Service 2005) 
and in two papers on tidewater goby occurrence (Swift et al. 1989, p. 
13; Swift et al. 1993, p. 129), both of which were used in the 
preparation of the final listing rule for the tidewater goby;
    (b) Areas that are currently occupied but were not occupied at the 
time of listing, which are determined to be essential to the 
conservation of the species;
    (c) Areas that are representative of the distribution of the 
tidewater goby throughout the entire geographic range occupied at the 
time of listing, including those with unique ecological characteristics 
(e.g., large, open bays in Humboldt County versus small, routinely 
closed lagoons in Santa Barbara County), with the goal of maintaining 
the full range of the habitat variability and genetic and morphological 
adaptation in the species; and
    (d) Areas that allow for the conservation of viable metapopulations 
(as defined in the Background section above) under varying 
environmental conditions (e.g., drought). These areas include those 
that presumably serve as source populations or those that provide 
important connectivity between source populations.
    For the purposes of this designation, we define source populations 
as those that are currently occupied and have been consistently 
occupied for three or more consecutive years based on survey data and 
published reports. Based on the source-sink metapopulation type 
structure of many tidewater goby localities, we believe these areas are 
more likely to be capable of maintaining populations over many years 
and therefore capable of providing individuals to recruit into 
surrounding subpopulations.
    Locations that provide connectivity between source populations are 
those locations that exist between source populations that are likely 
to act as ``stepping stones'' between more isolated populations, and 
contribute to metapopulation persistence. Locations that possess unique 
ecological characteristics are those that represent the full range of 
environmental variability where the tidewater goby has evolved, and 
therefore are likely to promote the adaptation of the species to 
different environmental conditions. For example, some of these habitats 
would include locations that reflect different environmental conditions 
in southern and northern California (e.g. smaller habitats that occur 
in a more arid environment versus large habitats that occur in areas 
with abundant rainfall). Morphological and genetic variability was used 
to support the inclusion of locations where we assume that this 
variability may play a role in positively affecting the species' 
conservation over time.
    The conservation of a broad range of environmental, morphological, 
and genetic diversity that is present at the various locations is an 
important consideration in determining localities that have the 
features essential for the conservation of the species. For example, a 
population's ability to successfully adapt to changing environmental 
conditions is a function of the heterozygosity, population size, and 
genetic variation of the individuals at a given location (Reed and 
Frankham 2003, p. 233). Local adaptations to different environmental 
conditions and morphological differences are likely linked to genetic 
variations among populations. These features may in turn be best 
protected by: (a) Identifying areas that represent the species and 
genetic diversity, and (b) maximizing within these areas the protection 
of contiguous environmental gradients across which selection and 
migration can interact to maintain population viability and (adaptive) 
genetic diversity (Moritz 2002, p. 238).
    By applying these criteria to the 26 subunits described in the 
recovery plan, we identified 44 critical habitat units that we have 
determined to be essential to the conservation of the tidewater goby. 
In general, we are designating these 44 units as critical habitat 
because: (1) They are representative of the distribution of the 
tidewater goby; (2) some units are occupied by source populations such 
that they support other habitats with tidewater gobies; (3) some units, 
although not considered sources, provide connectivity between 
populations; and, (4) other units reflect the diversity of the species 
and its currently occupied habitats. Although all 44 units are 
currently occupied by tidewater gobies, 3 of the units were not 
occupied at the time of listing (HUM-4, SB-8, and LA-2). We have 
included these three units because they meet our criterion ``b,'' 
``c,'' and ``d'' above and we determined that they are essential for 
the conservation of the species (please see the Critical Habitat 
Designation section below for more information). Critical habitat units 
in this final designation are located in all 26 subunits in the 
recovery plan, except for those on Vandenberg Air Force Base (Santa 
Barbara County) and Marine Corps Base, Camp Pendleton (San Diego 
County), which have completed INRMPs that provide protection for the 
tidewater goby (see Application of Section 4(a)(3) of the Act--Approved 
Integrated Natural Resource Management Plans section). In some cases, 
several critical habitat units are included within a recovery plan 
subunit. In these instances we believe either that there is likely more 
than one source population and/or the inclusion of additional 
localities increases the chance for dispersal of individuals between 
localities.
    Finally, we considered but did not include any currently unoccupied 
habitat in this designation because we concluded that the 44 units we 
are designating are sufficient for the conservation of the species. 
Many changes have occurred to the coastal wetlands of California, 
including the complete destruction of some. Many of these changes can 
not be reversed to the point where tidewater gobies are likely to be 
able to survive in these unoccupied areas. Additionally, our recently 
completed 5-year review evaluating the status of the species has 
recommended downlisting the species. This is in part due to an increase 
in the number of occupied locations since listing, which indicates the 
threats, or levels thereof, are not as seriously impacting tidewater 
goby populations as previously believed. Therefore, we believe the 
designation of the 44 currently occupied units which meet the criteria 
listed above provides for the conservation of the species, and we are 
not designating any habitat outside the geographical area presently 
occupied by the species.
    After determining the areas that meet the definition of critical 
habitat by applying criteria ``a'' through ``d'' above, the boundary of 
each critical habitat unit was mapped. Unit boundaries were based on 
several factors including

[[Page 5935]]

species occurrence data that demonstrated where tidewater gobies have 
been observed, the presence of barriers and stream gradients that limit 
tidewater goby movements, and the presence and extent of the aquatic 
habitat required by tidewater gobies.
    The lateral extent of each critical habitat unit was delineated, in 
part, using existing digital data. To determine the lateral boundaries 
of each critical habitat unit, we most frequently relied on National 
Wetland Inventory (NWI) maps that were prepared by the Service in 2006. 
The NWI maps are based on the Cowardin classification system (Cowardin 
et al. 1979); the Service has adopted this classification system as its 
official standard to describe wetland and deepwater habitats. 
Specifically, the following wetland types based on Cowardin (1979) were 
used to delineate unit boundaries: Lake, Estuarine and Marine 
Deepwater, Estuarine and Marine Wetland, Freshwater Pond, Freshwater 
Emergent Wetland, Freshwater Forested/Shrub Wetland, and Riverine. 
These wetland types have or are likely to have the PCEs at various 
times throughout the year depending on the season and environmental 
factors such as storm or drought events. In some cases, we used 
existing anthropogenic structures, such as concrete or riprap channel 
linings, that occur within wetland habitat types to delineate the 
lateral boundaries of units. To a lesser extent, we also used aerial 
imagery from the National Agricultural Imagery Program (NAIP) to 
delineate the lateral boundaries of a critical habitat unit where 
insufficient NWI data was available.
    The precise location where tidewater goby habitat occurs at a 
particular locality may vary on a daily, seasonal, and annual basis, 
i.e., the habitats occupied by tidewater gobies exist in a dynamic 
environment that varies over time. For example, the size and lateral 
extent of a coastal lagoon or estuary varies with daily tide cycles. 
Flood events may also change the precise location where surface water 
exists within a given lagoon, estuary, backwater marsh, or freshwater 
tributary. Therefore, it is appropriate to delineate each critical 
habitat unit to encompass the entire area occupied by tidewater gobies 
on a daily, seasonal, and annual basis. To accomplish this, we used the 
boundaries delineated on the NWI maps to determine the lateral extent 
of each unit.
    The delineation of the upstream-most extent of a particular 
critical habitat unit was determined using one of four features that 
include: (a) The average distance that tidewater gobies are known to 
move upstream from the ocean (3.8 mi (6.1 km)), (b) the presence of 
barriers (e.g., culverts) that may prevent tidewater gobies from moving 
upstream, (c) the presence of a gradient that precludes tidewater 
gobies from swimming upstream (vertical drops of more than 4 to 8 in 
(10 to 20 cm) high can act as barriers that make it less likely 
tidewater gobies will be able to swim upstream (Swift et al. 1997, p. 
20)), or (d) limited surface water in the tributary up gradient from 
the lagoon or estuary. Each of the above features describes a barrier 
to upstream movement; therefore the upstream extent of a particular 
unit was determined by whichever barrier was identified first through 
the mapping process regardless of whether or not PCEs were still 
present above it.
    When determining critical habitat boundaries, we made every effort 
to avoid developed areas such as lands covered by buildings, pavement, 
and other structures because such lands lack PCEs for the tidewater 
goby. The scale of the critical habitat maps prepared under the 
parameters for publication within the Code of Federal Regulations may 
not reflect the exclusion of such developed lands. Any such lands 
inadvertently left inside critical habitat boundaries shown on the maps 
of this final rule were excluded in the text of the proposed rule and 
are excluded in this final rule. Therefore, a Federal action involving 
these lands would not trigger section 7 consultation with respect to 
critical habitat and the requirement of no adverse modification, unless 
the specific action may affect adjacent critical habitat.
    A brief discussion of each area designated as critical habitat is 
provided in the unit descriptions below. Additional detailed 
documentation concerning the essential nature of these areas is 
contained in our supporting record for this rulemaking.

Critical Habitat Designation

    We are designating 44 units as critical habitat for the tidewater 
goby. All areas are currently occupied by the tidewater goby and 
constitute our best assessment of areas that meet the definition of 
critical habitat for the species. The 44 areas designated as critical 
habitat occur in: Del Norte, Humboldt, Mendocino, Sonoma, Marin, San 
Mateo, Santa Cruz, Monterey, San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara, Ventura, 
and Los Angeles Counties, California.
    Table 1 identifies the geographic areas that meet the definition of 
critical habitat for tidewater goby but are being exempted from 
critical habitat pursuant to section 4(a)(3) of the Act. Table 2 shows 
the approximate area, by unit and landownership, designated as critical 
habitat for the tidewater goby.

\1\ Codes of known threats to tidewater goby habitat that may require special management considerations or protection of the PCEs are as follows:
1. Coastal development projects that result in the loss or alteration of coastal wetland habitat affecting PCEs 1, 2, 3, and 4.
2. Water diversions, alterations of water flows, artificial breaching of sandbars, and groundwater overdrafting that negatively impact the species'
  breeding and foraging activities and PCEs 1, 2, 3, and 4.
3. Channelization of habitats where the species occurs, affecting PCEs 1, 2, 3, and 4.
4. Non-point and point source pollution or discharge of agricultural and sewage effluents that are likely to impact the species health or breeding and
  foraging activities and PCE 1.
5. Cattle grazing that results in increased sedimentation of coastal lagoons and riparian habitats, removes vegetative cover, increases ambient water
  temperatures, and eliminates plunge pools and undercut banks utilized by tidewater gobies affecting PCE 1.

    Below, we present brief descriptions of all units, and reasons why 
they meet the definition of critical habitat for the tidewater goby. 
The first two or three letters in the code for each critical habitat 
unit description reflects the county where the unit occurs: DN = Del 
Norte, HUM = Humboldt, LA = Los Angeles, MAR = Marin, MEN = Mendocino, 
MN = Monterey, SLO = San Luis Obispo, SM = San Mateo, SB = Santa 
Barbara, SC = Santa Cruz, SON = Sonoma, and VEN = Ventura. In Table 2 
above, these units are listed in sequential order from north to south,

[[Page 5937]]

with the most northerly unit being described first and the most 
southerly unit being described last.

DN-1: Lake Earl/Lake Tolowa

    Unit DN-1 consists of 2,682 ac (1,085 ha) located approximately 3 
mi (4.8 km) north of the town of Crescent City and approximately 10 mi 
(16 km) south of the California-Oregon border. On an intermittent 
basis, DN-1 possesses a sandbar across the mouth of the lagoon or 
estuary during the majority of the late spring, summer, and fall that 
closes or partially closes the lagoon or estuary and thereby provides 
relatively stable conditions (PCE 4). This unit includes two contiguous 
lagoons (Lake Tolowa and Lake Earl), referred to collectively as Lake 
Earl. DN-1 includes State-owned land within the California Department 
of Fish and Game's (CDFG) Lake Earl Wildlife Area, and a portion of 
Tolowa Dunes State Park. DN-1 was occupied at the time of listing and 
is currently occupied. This critical habitat unit is the largest 
occupied locality in Del Norte County. Tidewater gobies have regularly 
been found throughout the lagoon in large numbers during surveys and 
intensive studies (Tetra Tech 2000, pp. 8-9 and Tables G-1 through G-
12). The unit is separated from the nearest extant population to the 
north, in Tilla Slough/Smith River (not designated as critical 
habitat), by 7.3 mi (11.8 km). Because DN-has been consistently 
occupied over time, it is likely a source population for this region. 
It likely provides demographic and connectivity for other intermittent 
localities such as Tillas Slough, and provides a source population for 
reestablishment of the species at historically occupied, but currently 
extirpated, localities at Redwood Creek estuary and Freshwater Lagoon.
    Furthermore, Lake Earl/Lake Tolowa are representative of extensive 
coastal lagoons and bays north of Cape Mendocino formed over uplifting 
Holocene sediments on broad flat coastal benches. These coastal benches 
include an intricate network of estuaries and other channels that are 
features essential to the conservation of the tidewater goby because 
they provide refugia during seasonal floods and breeding habitat 
through the full range of climatic cycles. The water level and salinity 
within the lagoon varies seasonally and annually in response to (a) 
periods of high precipitation or drought within its watershed; (b) the 
timing, duration, and frequency of breaching events; (c) the water 
level in the lagoon at the time of breaching; and (d) ocean tidal 
cycles during and immediately following a breach. As a result of 
natural and human-induced environmental changes, maximum water depth 
within Lake Earl varies during an annual cycle from less than 5 ft (1.5 
meters) deep to more than 10 ft (3 meters) deep. The distribution of 
tidewater gobies and PCEs within Lake Earl changes in response to these 
dynamic, short-term habitat conditions; over a multi-year cycle, 
tidewater gobies may persist and breed anywhere within the lagoon. PCEs 
1, 2, and 3 are found throughout DN-1, on a short term but variable 
time scale in response to the dynamic variability of the habitat 
itself. This unit and the essential features contained therein are also 
important to the conservation of the species because the goby 
population that it supports is considered a source population and will 
support the recovery of the tidewater goby population along this 
important coastal range, help conserve genetic diversity within the 
species, and facilitate colonization of currently unoccupied locations. 
Known threats to tidewater goby habitat that may require special 
management considerations or protection of the PCEs in this unit are 
described in Table 2.

HUM-1: Stone Lagoon

    Unit HUM-1 consists of 586 ac (237 ha) located approximately 11 mi 
(18 km) north of the city of Trinidad. HUM-1 (Stone Lagoon) is a 
moderately large, natural, coastal lagoon with a narrows and spit 
separating it from the ocean. The lagoon includes fresh water input 
from two streams on the east and southern sides of the unit. Similar to 
DN-1, HUM-1 is typical of large north coast lagoons, characterized by a 
seasonal sandbar that results in relatively stable habitat within a 
naturally variable range of seasonal and annual climate conditions. 
HUM-1 possesses a sandbar across the mouth of the lagoon or estuary 
during the majority of the late spring, summer, and fall that closes or 
partially closes the lagoon or estuary and thereby provides relatively 
stable conditions (PCE 4). Tidewater goby distribution within this 
overall large lagoon varies in response to annual and seasonal climatic 
conditions. The other three PCEs occur throughout the unit, and the 
species likely alters its distribution within the lagoon in response to 
seasonal and annual habitat variability. HUM-1 is entirely State-owned 
and is part of Humboldt Lagoons State Park. Management of the lagoon 
does not include goals or tasks specific to the tidewater goby. HUM-1 
was occupied at the time of listing, is currently occupied and is 
likely a source population for this region. HUM-1 is the northernmost 
of the four Humboldt County units and is located 40.8 mi (65.6 km) 
south of Lake Earl/Lake Tolowa (DN-1). The unit is separated from the 
nearest extant population to the north, in Freshwater Lagoon (not 
designated as critical habitat), by 30.7 mi (49.4 km). HUM-1 is the 
closest source population to reestablish the tidewater goby within 
formerly suitable but known extirpated localities at Redwood Creek and 
Freshwater Lagoon. HUM-1 will also support the recovery of tidewater 
goby populations along this portion of the coast and help facilitate 
colonization of currently unoccupied locations. Known threats to 
tidewater goby habitat that may require special management 
considerations or protection of the PCEs in this unit are described in 
Table 2.

HUM-2: Big Lagoon

    Unit HUM-2 consists of 1,505 ac (609 ha) located approximately 7 mi 
(11 km) north of the city of Trinidad. Big Lagoon is a large coastal 
lagoon with a narrow sand spit separating it from the ocean, and 
receives the majority of its fresh water input from one stream in the 
southeast portion of the unit. Similar to DN-1, HUM-2 is typical of 
large north coast lagoons and estuaries, characterized by a seasonal 
sandbar that results in relatively stable habitat within a naturally 
variable range of seasonal and annual climate conditions. HUM-2 
possesses a sandbar across the mouth of the lagoon or estuary during 
the majority of the late spring, summer, and fall that closes or 
partially closes the lagoon or estuary and thereby provides relatively 
stable conditions (PCE 4). Tidewater goby distribution within this 
overall large lagoon varies in response to annual and seasonal climatic 
conditions. The other three PCEs occur throughout the unit, and the 
species likely alters its distribution within the lagoon in response to 
seasonal and annual habitat variability. HUM-2 consists entirely of 
State lands that are part of Humboldt Lagoons State Park; however, the 
CDFG currently holds a lease from State lands for all lands to the mean 
high tide line of the lagoon. Furthermore, the landward areas are 
managed as Humboldt Lagoons State Park administered by the California 
Department of Parks and Recreation. HUM-2 was occupied at the time of 
listing, is currently occupied, and is likely a source population for 
this region. HUM-2 is located 4.6 mi (7.3 km) south of Stone Lagoon 
(HUM-1), which is also the nearest extant population. Conservation of 
this unit will support the recovery of tidewater goby populations along 
this portion of the coast, help conserve diversity within

[[Page 5938]]

the species, and facilitate colonization of currently unoccupied 
locations. Known threats to tidewater goby habitat that may require 
special management considerations or protection of the PCEs in this 
unit are described in Table 2.

HUM-3: Humboldt Bay

    Unit HUM-3 consists of 1,478 ac (598 ha) located within an 8 mi (13 
km) radius to the north, south, and east of the city of Eureka. This 
area was occupied at the time of listing and is currently occupied. 
Humboldt Bay and its adjacent marshes and estuaries are a complex 
mixture of natural and human-made aquatic features that have 
experienced many decades of human-induced changes. These changes 
include the construction of levees, tidegates, culverts, and other 
water control structures, and extensive dredging of sandbars. 
Surrounding the bay itself is a generally broad bench historically 
dominated by mudflats, tidal marshes, estuarine channels, and brackish 
marshes. Substantial portions of those habitats were converted to 
agricultural, urban, and industrial uses in recent history, resulting 
in the loss of as much as 10,000 ac (4,047 ha) of potentially suitable 
habitat. This critical habitat unit consists of a complex of 
interconnected estuary channels and human-made structures along the 
eastern edge of Humboldt Bay which collectively mimic, on a much 
reduced scale, habitats largely lost through past management practices. 
Many of these channels and marshes are themselves the result of changes 
to historical habitats, and depend on specific yet generally 
undocumented management activities for their continued function. To 
address the dynamic variability of these habitats resulting from 
seasonal and inter-annual precipitation differences, we have included 
both the actual known locations where tidewater gobies have been 
documented, as well as portions of those channels contiguous to but 
upchannel or downchannel from the known localities. We have not 
included Humboldt Bay proper in critical habitat, nor have we included 
major channels substantially subject to daily tidal fluctuations, as we 
have no evidence suggesting tidewater gobies may breed there. 
Similarly, we have not included channels that are not contiguous with 
occupied habitat, nor have we included intervening marsh or 
agricultural lands that may occasionally be flooded during severe 
winter storm events.
    Based on several recent surveys, we have found that the precise 
locations of tidewater goby use within the channel complex during any 
particular year may change in response to annual variation in 
precipitation and channel hydrology. PCEs 1, 2, and 3 occur throughout 
the unit, although their precise location during any particular time 
period may change in response to seasonal fluctuations in precipitation 
and tidal inundation. Only PCE 4 (a sandbar(s) across the mouth of a 
lagoon or estuary) is not likely to occur within this unit because a 
navigable, dredged channel with a permanent open connection to the 
ocean is maintained on a regular basis. We anticipate that the 
persistence of the tidewater goby source population within this unit 
may require protection of localities that are not occupied every year, 
but collectively form a source population through an interconnected 
complex of channels and shallow water habitats. That is, any of the 
several known occupied localities within a channel complex may be used 
by tidewater gobies during various years in response to dynamic habitat 
conditions during seasonal, annual, and longer term climatic cycles 
(e.g., drought).
    Recently, significant restoration efforts directed primarily at 
salmonid recovery have occurred or are anticipated to occur within 
areas designated as critical habitat. The outcome of these salmonid 
restoration efforts to tidewater gobies is unknown, and will likely 
vary with their design features and their location. This unit consists 
of Federal, State, local government, and private lands. HUM-3 is 
located 21.0 mi (33.9 km) south of Big Lagoon (HUM-2). The unit is 
separated from the nearest extant population to the south, in the Eel 
River (HUM-4), by 18.4 mi (29.7 km). This source population may provide 
essential demographic and genetic support to HUM-4, especially during 
periods of extreme floods (e.g., the 1964 ``Christmas Flood''), when 
the population of tidewater gobies at the Eel River estuary may have 
been extirpated. Conservation of this unit will support the recovery of 
tidewater goby populations along this portion of the coast and help 
facilitate colonization of currently unoccupied locations. Known 
threats to tidewater goby habitat that may require special management 
considerations or protection of the PCEs in this unit are described in 
Table 2.

HUM-4: Eel River

    Unit HUM-4 consists of 268 ac (109 ha) located approximately 4 mi 
(6.5 km) north of the town of Ferndale. The Eel River delta includes a 
large, complex estuary with a network of diked and natural slough 
channels which contain suitable tidewater goby habitat. The Eel River 
delta contains many small, un-surveyed slough channels and other 
backwater areas that provide suitable habitat for tidewater gobies, but 
it also contains larger channels open to direct tidal influence that do 
not provide suitable habitat and are not included in this unit. This 
unit consists of backwater channels and immediately adjacent marsh 
contiguous to the known occupied habitat. Although no tidewater goby 
surveys are known to have occurred in the Eel River estuary prior to 
the listing, we considered this area to be unoccupied by the species 
until the Service discovered a new population of tidewater gobies in 
the Eel River estuary during surveys in 2004 (Goldsmith 2006b, p. 1). 
Although not occupied at the time of listing, we consider this locality 
to be essential to the conservation of the species because this unit 
possesses ecological characteristics which are important in maintaining 
the species' ability to adapt to changing environments, including the 
ability to disperse into higher channels and marsh habitat during 
severe flood events. This unit will also support the recovery of the 
tidewater goby population along this portion of the coast and help 
facilitate colonization of currently unoccupied locations. This unit 
consists of State lands, local government lands, and private lands. 
Similar to HUM-3, this unit includes portions of the contiguous channel 
upstream from the known locality, expected to function as habitat in 
response to seasonal and inter-annual fluctuations of water level and 
salinity. On an intermittent basis, HUM-4 possesses a sandbar across 
the mouth of the lagoon or estuary during the late spring, summer, and 
fall that closes or partially closes the lagoon or estuary and thereby 
provides relatively stable conditions (PCE 4). The other three PCEs 
occur throughout the unit in a dynamic and seasonally variable 
distribution.
    As described earlier in HUM-3, we anticipate that tidewater gobies 
use various locations throughout this unit as a moving source 
population in response to the naturally changing habitat conditions. 
This unit is subject to infrequent yet severe flooding from the nearby 
Eel River proper. The major flood event of 1964 (``Christmas Flood''), 
and other major floods during the past century, may have severely 
altered habitat in most channels, including those currently occupied. 
Tidewater gobies may have survived the flood and the resulting loss of 
habitat in the refugia provided in upper channels and swales. 
Alternatively, the species may have been extirpated at the Eel River 
delta during those severe events,

[[Page 5939]]

and reestablished itself through demographic and genetic support from 
HUM-3, located approximately 18.4 mi (29.7 km) to the north. Of 
particular importance, the Eel River location is at the north end of 
one of the largest natural geographic gaps in the tidewater goby's 
geographic range. The gap extends to the Ten Mile River (Mendocino 
County) to the south, representing a coastline distance in excess of 
135 mi (217 km). This gap, with its rocky coastline, strong currents, 
and long distance, remains a formidable barrier to the dispersal of 
tidewater gobies. Thus, an additional reason why this unit is essential 
to the conservation of the species is because it is at the boundary of 
a large, natural gap in the geographic range of the species.

MEN-1: Ten Mile River

    Unit MEN-1 consists of 218 ac (88 ha) located 9 mi (14.5 km) north 
of the town of Fort Bragg. Ten Mile River includes a moderately large 
estuary with a long, low-gradient profile that contains many beneficial 
characteristics for supporting tidewater gobies, including part-time 
tidal exchange, brackish water, complex cover, suitable substrate 
types, and areas of off-channel refugia. Suitable habitat in this 
estuary extends to at least 3 mi (5 km) from the ocean, where a gradual 
increase in gradient and freshwater conditions dominates. On an 
intermittent basis, MEN-1 possesses a sandbar across the mouth of the 
lagoon or estuary during the late spring, summer, and fall that closes 
or partially closes the lagoon or estuary and thereby provides 
relatively stable conditions (PCE 4). Persistent, shallow water extends 
in the estuary for more than 3 mi (5 km) upstream from the ocean. 
Through this long estuary, salinity and water depth vary by season, 
amount of precipitation, and tidal cycle. Thus, PCEs 1, 2, and 3 occur 
throughout the unit, although their precise location during any 
particular time period may change in response to seasonal and longer 
term fluctuations in precipitation and tidal inundation.
    This unit consists entirely of State lands. Ten Mile River was 
occupied by tidewater gobies at the time of listing and is currently 
occupied. MEN-1 is located 135.0 mi (217.0 km) south of Eel River (HUM-
4). The unit is separated from the nearest extant population to the 
south, in Virgin Creek (MEN-2), by 5.6 mi (8.9 km). This unit is 
considered a source population, and will support the recovery of the 
tidewater goby population along this portion of the coast and help 
facilitate colonization of currently unoccupied locations. Furthermore, 
this unit is the largest block of habitat along the coast of Mendocino 
County, and is the last location on the southern end of one of the 
longest stretches of unsuitable habitat in the species range 
(previously described under HUM-4). Thus, this unit is important to 
connect populations within Mendocino County. South of Ten Mile River, 
only three other small, isolated localities occupied by tidewater 
gobies are known to exist across the more than 100 miles of rugged 
coastline between MEN-1 and SON-1 in south-coastal Sonoma County. Known 
threats to tidewater goby habitat that may require special management 
considerations or protection of the PCEs in this unit are described in 
Table 2.

MEN-2: Virgin Creek

    Unit MEN-2 consists of 11 ac (4 ha) located 3.5 mi (5.6 km) north 
of the town of Fort Bragg and includes the small estuary of Virgin 
Creek. On an intermittent basis, MEN-2 possesses a sandbar across the 
mouth of the estuary during the late spring, summer, and fall that 
closes or partially closes the estuary and thereby provides relatively 
stable conditions (PCE 4). PCEs 1, 2, and 3 occur throughout the unit, 
although their precise location during any particular time period may 
change in response to seasonal fluctuations in precipitation and tidal 
inundation. This unit consists entirely of State lands that are part of 
McKerricher State Park, but is influenced by factors, such as upstream 
water quality, not under the jurisdiction of the Park. The tidewater 
goby occupied this locality at the time of listing and the unit is 
currently occupied. MEN-2 is located 5.6 mi (8.9 km) south of Ten Mile 
River (MEN-1). The unit is separated from the nearest extant population 
to the south, in Pudding Creek (MEN-3), by 1.2 mi (2.0 km). This unit 
is considered a source population, and it will support the recovery of 
the tidewater goby population along this portion of the coast and help 
facilitate colonization of currently unoccupied locations. As described 
above, this unit is one of only three small estuaries occupied by 
tidewater gobies between MEN-1 and SON-1. It forms an important 
intermediate locality for movement within Mendocino County. Known 
threats to tidewater goby habitat that may require special management 
considerations or protection of the PCEs in this unit are described in 
Table 2.

MEN-3: Pudding Creek

    Unit MEN-3 consists of 23 ac (9 ha) located 2.5 mi (4.0 km) north 
of the town of Fort Bragg. Pudding Creek, is a moderately small estuary 
controlled at the upstream end by a low-head, municipal water storage 
dam. On an intermittent basis, MEN-3 possesses a sandbar across the 
mouth of the lagoon or estuary during the late spring, summer, and fall 
that closes or partially closes the estuary, and thereby provides 
relatively stable conditions (PCE 4). PCEs 1, 2, and 3 occur throughout 
the unit, although their precise location during any particular time 
period may change in response to seasonal fluctuations in precipitation 
and tidal inundation. This unit consists entirely of State lands that 
are part of McKerricher State Park, but is influenced by factors, such 
as upstream water quality, not under the jurisdiction of the Park. 
Tidewater gobies have been known from this location for at least the 
last 30 years, including the time of listing, and it is currently 
occupied. MEN-3 is located 1.2 mi (2.0 km) south of Virgin Creek (MEN-
2), which is also the nearest extant population. This unit allows for 
connectivity between tidewater goby source populations, and thereby 
supports gene flow and metapopulation dynamics in this region. As 
described above, this unit is one of only three small estuaries likely 
to be occupied by tidewater gobies between MEN-1 and SON-1. It forms an 
important intermediate locality for long-term connectivity within 
Mendocino County. Known threats to tidewater goby habitat in this unit 
that may require special management considerations or protection of the 
PCEs are described in Table 2.

MEN-4: Davis Lake and Manchester State Park Ponds

    Unit MEN-4 consists of 24 ac (10 ha) located 3.3 mi (5.2 km) 
northeast of Point Arena, and includes an area with ponds fed by a 
small, unnamed, low-elevation, coastal stream in Manchester State Park. 
On an intermittent basis, MEN-4 possesses a sandbar across the mouth of 
the lagoon or estuary during the late spring, summer, and fall that 
closes or partially closes the lagoon or estuary and thereby provides 
relatively stable conditions (PCE 4). PCEs 1, 2, and 3 occur throughout 
the unit, although their precise location during any particular time 
period may change in response to seasonal fluctuations in precipitation 
and tidal inundation. This unit consists entirely of State lands that 
are part of Manchester State Park. Tidewater gobies have been known 
from this location for at least the last 30 years, including the time 
of listing, and it is currently occupied. MEN-4 is located 32.4 mi 
(52.2 km) south of Pudding Creek (MEN-3), which is also the nearest 
extant population. This unit

[[Page 5940]]

is considered a source population, and it will support the recovery of 
the tidewater goby population along this portion of the coast and help 
facilitate colonization of currently unoccupied locations. As described 
above, this unit is one of only three small estuaries likely to be 
occupied by tidewater gobies between MEN-1 and SON-1. It forms an 
important intermediate locality for long-term connectivity within 
Mendocino County. There are other potential areas of suitable habitat 
in neighboring wetlands. However, tidewater gobies have not been 
documented from these locations, and they are not included in this 
unit. Known threats to tidewater goby habitat that may require special 
management considerations or protection of the PCEs in this unit are 
described in Table 2.

SON-1: Salmon Creek

    Unit SON-1 consists of 100 ac (41 ha) located about 7 mi (11.3 km) 
south of the community of Jenner at the mouth of the Russian River. On 
an intermittent basis, SON-1 possesses a sandbar across the mouth of 
the lagoon or estuary during the late spring, summer, and fall that 
closes or partially closes the lagoon or estuary and thereby provides 
relatively stable conditions (PCE 4). PCEs 1, 2, and 3 occur throughout 
the unit, although their precise location during any particular time 
period may change in response to seasonal fluctuations in precipitation 
and tidal inundation. Within the unit, the beach, estuary downstream of 
the State Route (SR) 1 bridge, and the floodplain north of Salmon Creek 
and upstream (east) of SR 1 are State lands under the jurisdiction of 
the CDPR. The area and wetlands south of the creek and east of SR 1 in 
the unit are privately owned. This unit was occupied by tidewater 
gobies at the time of listing, is currently occupied, and is likely a 
source population for this region. The closest known existing 
population of tidewater gobies to Salmon Creek is located at Estero 
Americano 5.3 mi (8.5 km) to the south. The geological feature known as 
Bodega Head separates Salmon Creek and Estero Americano, and is likely 
to reduce the exchange of tidewater gobies between these two locations. 
This unit will support the recovery of the tidewater goby population 
along this portion of the coast and help facilitate colonization of 
currently unoccupied locations. Known threats to tidewater goby habitat 
that may require special management considerations or protection of the 
PCEs in this unit are described in Table 2.

MAR-1: Estero Americano

    Unit MAR-1 consists of 295 ac (120 ha) located south of the Bodega 
Head, about 3.5 mi (5.7 km) south of Bodega Bay. Estero Americano is 
approximately 750 to 1,000 ac (300 to 400 ha) in size and is a large 
lagoon relative to other known extant and historical tidewater goby 
locations. On an intermittent basis, MAR-1 possesses a sandbar across 
the mouth of the lagoon or estuary during the late spring, summer, and 
fall that closes or partially closes the lagoon or estuary and thereby 
provides relatively stable conditions (PCE 4). PCEs 1, 2, and 3 occur 
throughout the unit, although their precise location during any 
particular time period may change in response to seasonal fluctuations 
in precipitation and tidal inundation. The majority of this unit 
consists of privately-owned lands. A small portion of the unit also 
consists of Federal and State lands. Although the abundance of 
tidewater goby in Estero Americano seems to vary, it was occupied by 
tidewater gobies at the time of listing and is currently occupied. MAR-
1 is likely a source population for this region. The unit is one of two 
known locations of tidewater goby in this area, the other being Estero 
de San Antonio (MAR-2) approximately 2.2 mi (3.5 km) to the south. The 
closest known existing locations of tidewater goby to the north is the 
Salmon Creek estuary (SON-1), but this location is upcoast from the 
Bodega Head, which likely limits interactions with tidewater gobies 
from this unit. This unit will support the recovery of the tidewater 
goby population along this portion of the coast and help facilitate 
colonization of currently unoccupied locations. Known threats to 
tidewater goby habitat that may require special management 
considerations or protection of the PCEs in this unit are described in 
Table 2.

MAR-2: Estero de San Antonio

    Unit MAR-2 consists of 178 ac (72 ha) located about 5.6 mi (9 km) 
south of Bodega Bay. Estero de San Antonio provides approximately 500 
to 750 ac (200 to 300 ha) of fish habitat and is a large lagoon 
relative to other known extant and historical tidewater goby locations. 
On an intermittent basis, MAR-2 possesses a sandbar across the mouth of 
the lagoon or estuary during the late spring, summer, and fall that 
closes or partially closes the lagoon or estuary and thereby provides 
relatively stable conditions (PCE 4). PCEs 1, 2, and 3 occur throughout 
the unit, although their precise location during any particular time 
period may change in response to seasonal fluctuations in precipitation 
and tidal inundation. The majority of this unit consists of private 
lands, and the rest are State lands. Tidewater gobies are abundant 
within Estero de San Antonio, and it was occupied by tidewater gobies 
at the time of listing and is currently occupied. MAR-2 is one of two 
known locations of tidewater gobies to remain within the local area. 
This critical habitat unit includes a source population of tidewater 
gobies that likely provides individuals that are recruited into 
surrounding subpopulations. The closest known existing locations of 
tidewater goby are Estero Americano (i.e., MAR-1) approximately 2.2 mi 
(3.5 km) to the north and Lagunitas (Papermill) Creek (i.e., MAR-3) 
approximately 15.5 mi (25 km) to the south. Given the proximity between 
the MAR-1 and MAR-2 units, it is possible they have exchanged 
individuals in the past and that they continue to exchange individuals. 
Exchange between these populations bolsters the continued sustainable 
existence of the two populations which will, together with SON-1 and 
MAR-3 units, provide for natural and introduced colonization of 
available but unoccupied estuaries within the region south of the 
Russian River and north of Point Reyes. This unit will support the 
recovery of the tidewater goby population along this portion of the 
coast and help facilitate colonization of currently unoccupied 
locations. Known threats to tidewater goby habitat that may require 
special management considerations or protection of the PCEs in this 
unit are described in Table 2.

MAR-3: Lagunitas (Papermill) Creek

    Unit MAR-3 consists of 849 ac (344 ha) located in Tomales Bay 20.5 
mi (33 km) south of Bodega Bay. We do not have information that 
confirms that PCE 4 (a sandbar(s) across the mouth of the lagoon or 
estuary) is present within this unit on at least an intermittent basis. 
PCEs 1, 2, and 3 occur throughout the unit, although their precise 
location during any particular time period may change in response to 
seasonal fluctuations in precipitation and tidal inundation. The 
bayward portion of the unit consists of State lands. A portion of the 
unit consists of Federal lands under the jurisdiction of the National 
Park Service. The remaining portion of the unit is privately owned. 
This unit was occupied prior to listing and is currently occupied; 
therefore we consider it to have been occupied at the time of listing. 
It is the only known location of the tidewater goby to remain within 
the greater Tomales Bay area. Thus, if allowed to establish a robust 
population

[[Page 5941]]

the unit could act as an important source population for future 
colonization or introductions to other habitats within Tomales Bay. The 
closest known location with an extant tidewater goby population is 
Estero de San Antonio approximately 15.5 mi (25 km) to the north. Known 
threats to tidewater goby habitat that may require special management 
considerations or protection of the PCEs in this unit are described in 
Table 2.

MAR-4: Rodeo Lagoon

    Unit MAR-4 consists of 40 ac (16 ha) located at the tip of the 
Marin Peninsula, approximately 3.8 mi (6 km) north of San Francisco. 
MAR-4 possesses a sandbar across the mouth of the lagoon or estuary 
during the late spring, summer, and fall that closes or partially 
closes the lagoon or estuary and thereby provides relatively stable 
conditions (PCE 4). PCEs 1, 2, and 3 occur throughout the unit, 
although their precise location during any particular time period may 
change in response to seasonal fluctuations in precipitation and tidal 
inundation. This unit consists of Federal lands under the jurisdiction 
of the National Park Service's Golden Gate National Recreation Area. 
Tidewater gobies are abundant within Rodeo Lagoon, and the lagoon was 
occupied by tidewater gobies at the time of listing and is currently 
occupied. MAR-5 is the only known location where the tidewater goby 
remains within the greater Bay Area. It also provides habitat for a 
population of tidewater gobies that could disperse to other adjoining 
habitats. The closest known existing locations of tidewater goby are 
Lagunitas Creek in Tomales Bay 23.6 mi (38 km) to the north, and San 
Gregorio Creek 36 mi (58 km) to the south. This unit will support the 
recovery of the tidewater goby population along this portion of the 
coast and help facilitate colonization of currently unoccupied 
locations. Known threats to tidewater goby habitat that may require 
special management considerations or protection of the PCEs in this 
unit are described in Table 2.

SM-1: San Gregorio Creek

    Unit SM-1 consists of 39 ac (16 ha) located about 28 mi (45 km) 
south of the San Francisco-San Mateo County line. On an intermittent 
basis, SM-1 possesses a sandbar across the mouth of the lagoon or 
estuary during the late spring, summer, and fall that closes or 
partially closes the lagoon or estuary and thereby provides relatively 
stable conditions (PCE 4). PCEs 1, 2, and 3 occur throughout the unit, 
although their precise location during any particular time period may 
change in response to seasonal fluctuations in precipitation and tidal 
inundation. This unit consists entirely of State lands that are part of 
San Gregorio State Beach. This unit was occupied at the time of 
listing, and it is currently occupied. SM-1 is the northernmost of the 
only three extant populations in San Mateo County. This unit is noted 
for high densities of tidewater gobies (Swenson 1993, p. 3). The 
closest extant population of tidewater gobies north of San Gregorio 
Creek is 36 mi (58 km) at Rodeo Lagoon and the closest historical 
location to the north is Lake Merced approximately 28 mi (45 km) to the 
north. The lack of nearby populations to the north reduces the 
likelihood that the existing SM-1 population would be naturally 
reestablished if it were lost. SM-1's position as the northernmost of 
the only extant tidewater locations remaining in San Mateo County and 
its proximity to potential reintroduction sites, the lack of other 
nearby locations to the north, and the presence of a stable population 
makes this unit an important source population for this region of the 
California coast. Known threats to tidewater goby habitat that may 
require special management considerations or protection of the PCEs in 
this unit are described in Table 2.

SM-2: Pescadero-Butano Creek

    Unit SM-2 consists of 218 ac (88 ha) located approximately 32 mi 
(51 km) south of the San Francisco-San Mateo County line. The unit 
consists of a lagoon, marshes, and creek channels. Unit SM-2 is located 
between two extant tidewater goby populations; namely the populations 
in San Gregorio Creek (SM-1) about 3.7 mi (6 km) to the north and in 
Bean Hollow Creek (SM-3) about 2.9 mi (4.7 km) to the south. On an 
intermittent basis, SM-2 possesses a sandbar across the mouth of the 
lagoon or estuary during the late spring, summer, and fall that closes 
or partially closes the lagoon or estuary and thereby provides 
relatively stable conditions (PCE 4). However, since the early 1990s 
the timing of the sandbar formation seems to have changed from spring/ 
summer to late summer or fall. PCEs 1, 2, and 3 occur throughout the 
unit, although their precise location during any particular time period 
may change in response to seasonal fluctuations in precipitation and 
tidal inundation. This unit consists entirely of State lands that are 
part of Pescadero State Beach and Pescadero Marsh Natural Preserve. 
This unit was occupied by tidewater gobies at the time of listing and 
is currently occupied. This unit is unusual in that some tidewater 
gobies from this location possess a parasite that appears to 
occasionally affect their health; these parasites, or the environmental 
factors that increase the prevalence of the parasites, may represent a 
threat to this population not identified in Table 2. This unit allows 
for connectivity between tidewater goby source populations, and thereby 
supports gene flow and metapopulation dynamics in this region. Known 
threats to tidewater goby habitat that may require special management 
considerations or protection of the PCEs in this unit are described in 
Table 2.

SM-3: Bean Hollow Creek (Arroyo de Los Frijoles)

    Unit SM-3 consists of 10 ac (4 ha) located approximately 34.8 mi 
(56 km) south of the San Francisco-San Mateo County line. On an 
intermittent basis, SM-3 possesses a sandbar across the mouth of the 
lagoon or estuary during the late spring, summer, and fall that closes 
or partially closes the lagoon or estuary and thereby provides 
relatively stable conditions (PCE 4). PCEs 1, 2, and 3 occur throughout 
the unit, although their precise location during any particular time 
period may change in response to seasonal fluctuations in precipitation 
and tidal inundation. The area east of State Highway 1 is privately 
owned and the portion of the lagoon west of the highway consists of 
State lands, which are part of Bean Hollow State Beach. This unit was 
occupied by tidewater gobies at the time of listing and it is currently 
occupied. SM-3 is the southernmost of the three San Mateo County units 
and is located 2.9 mi (4.7 km) south of Pescadero Creek. The unit is 
separated from the nearest extant population to the south, in Scott 
Creek (not designated as critical habitat), by 16.1 mi (26 km). This 
unit, together with the two units to the north, will support the 
recovery of the tidewater goby population along this important coastal 
range, allowing for connectivity between tidewater goby source 
populations, and thereby supports gene flow and metapopulation dynamics 
in this region. Known threats to tidewater goby habitat that may 
require special management considerations or protection of the PCEs in 
this unit are described in Table 2.

SC-1: Laguna Creek

    Unit SC-1 consists of 26 ac (11 ha) located approximately 7.5 mi 
(12.0 km) west of the city of Santa Cruz. On an intermittent basis, SC-
1 possesses a sandbar across the mouth of the lagoon or estuary during 
the late spring, summer, and fall that closes or partially

[[Page 5942]]

closes the lagoon or estuary and thereby provides relatively stable 
conditions (PCE 4). PCEs 1, 2, and 3 occur throughout the unit, 
although their precise location during any particular time period may 
change in response to seasonal fluctuations in precipitation and tidal 
inundation. This unit consists entirely of State lands. SC-1 was 
occupied by tidewater gobies at the time of listing and is currently 
occupied. SC-1 is the northernmost of the five Santa Cruz County units 
and is located 21.4 mi (34.5 km) south of Bean Hollow Creek (SM-3). The 
unit is separated from the nearest extant population to the south, in 
Baldwin Creek (SC-2), by 2.0 mi (3.2 km). SC-1 is likely a source 
population for this region. This unit, together with Baldwin Creek (SC-
2) to the south, is considered a source population, and will support 
the recovery of the tidewater goby population along this portion of the 
coast and help facilitate colonization of currently unoccupied 
locations. Known threats to tidewater goby habitat that may require 
special management considerations or protection of the PCEs in this 
unit are described in Table 2.

SC-2: Baldwin Creek

    Unit SC-2 consists of 17 ac (7 ha) located approximately 6 mi (9.7 
km) west of the city of Santa Cruz. On an intermittent basis, SC-2 
possesses a sandbar across the mouth of the lagoon or estuary during 
the late spring, summer, and fall that closes or partially closes the 
lagoon or estuary and thereby provides relatively stable conditions 
(PCE 4). PCEs 1, 2, and 3 occur throughout the unit, although their 
precise location during any particular time period may change in 
response to seasonal fluctuations in precipitation and tidal 
inundation. This unit consists entirely of State lands that are part of 
Wilder Ranch State Park. SC-2 was occupied by tidewater gobies at the 
time of listing and is currently occupied. SC-2 is located 2.0 mi (3.2 
km) south of Laguna Creek (SC-1). The unit is separated from the 
nearest extant population to the south, Lombardi Creek (not designated 
as critical habitat), by 0.7 mi (1.2 km). SC-2, together with Laguna 
Creek to the north, is considered a source population for this region, 
and will support the recovery of the tidewater goby population along 
this portion of the coast and help facilitate colonization of currently 
unoccupied locations. Known threats to tidewater goby habitat that may 
require special management considerations or protection of the PCEs in 
this unit are described in Table 2.

SC-3: Corcoran Lagoon

    Unit SC-3 consists of 32 ac (12 ha) located approximately 3 mi (4.8 
km) east of the city of Santa Cruz. On an intermittent basis, SC-3 
possesses a sandbar across the mouth of the lagoon or estuary during 
the late spring, summer, and fall that closes or partially closes the 
lagoon or estuary and thereby provides relatively stable conditions 
(PCE 4). PCEs 1, 2, and 3 occur throughout the unit, although their 
precise location during any particular time period may change in 
response to seasonal fluctuations in precipitation and tidal 
inundation. A portion of the unit consists of State lands that are part 
of Twin Lakes State Beach. The remaining portion is under the 
jurisdiction of local government, or is privately owned. SC-3 was 
occupied by tidewater gobies at the time of listing and is currently 
occupied. SC-3 is located 8.0 mi (12.9 km) south of Baldwin Creek (SC-
2) and is in Monterey Bay. The unit is separated from the nearest 
extant population to the south, in Moran Lake (not designated as 
critical habitat), by 0.7 mi (1.1 km). SC-3 is likely a source 
population for this region. This will support the recovery of the 
tidewater goby population along this portion of the coast and help 
facilitate colonization of currently unoccupied locations. Known 
threats to tidewater goby habitat that may require special management 
considerations or protection of the PCEs in this unit are described in 
Table 2.

SC-4: Aptos Creek

    Unit SC-4 consists of 3 ac (1 ha) that occur within the limits of 
the town of Aptos. We do not have information that confirms that PCE 4 
(a sandbar(s) across the mouth of the lagoon or estuary) is present 
within this unit on at least an intermittent basis. The other three 
PCEs are present throughout the unit, although their precise location 
during any particular time period may change in response to seasonal 
fluctuations in precipitation and tidal inundation. The unit consists 
entirely of State lands. SC-4 was occupied by tidewater gobies at the 
time of listing, is currently occupied and is likely a source 
population for this region. SC-4 is located 4.1 mi (6.6 km) east of 
Corcoran Lagoon (SC-3) and is in Monterey Bay. The unit is separated 
from the nearest extant population to the north, Moran Lake (not 
designated as critical habitat), by 4.2 mi (6.75 km). This unit will 
support the recovery of the tidewater goby population along this 
portion of the coast and help facilitate colonization of currently 
unoccupied locations. Known threats to tidewater goby habitat that may 
require special management considerations or protection of the PCEs in 
this unit are described in Table 2.

SC-5: Pajaro River

    Unit SC-5 consists of 176 ac (71 ha) located approximately 5 mi (8 
km) southwest of the town of Watsonville. On an intermittent basis, SC-
5 possesses a sandbar across the mouth of the lagoon or estuary during 
the late spring, summer, and fall that closes or partially closes the 
lagoon or estuary and thereby provides relatively stable conditions 
(PCE 4). PCEs 1, 2, and 3 occur throughout the unit, although their 
precise location during any particular time period may change in 
response to seasonal fluctuations in precipitation and tidal 
inundation. This unit consists of State, local government, and private 
lands. SC-5 was occupied prior to listing and is currently occupied; 
therefore we consider it to be occupied at the time of listing. SC-5 is 
the southernmost of the five Santa Cruz County units and is located 9.7 
mi (15.6 km) south of Aptos Creek (SM-4) within Monterey Bay. The unit 
is separated from the nearest extant population to the south, in 
Bennett Slough (MN-1), by 3.0 mi (4.7 km). This unit allows for 
connectivity between tidewater goby source populations, and thereby 
supports gene flow and metapopulation dynamics in this region. Known 
threats to tidewater goby habitat that may require special management 
considerations or protection of the PCEs in this unit are described in 
Table 2.

MN-1: Bennett Slough

    Unit MN-1 consists of 155 ac (63 ha) located approximately 3.7 mi 
(6 km) northwest of the town of Castroville. PCE 4 (a sandbar(s) across 
the mouth of lagoon or estuary) is not likely to occur within this unit 
because it has a navigable, dredged channel with a permanent open 
connection to the ocean maintained on a regular basis; however, the 
other three PCEs are present throughout the unit, although their 
precise location during any particular time period may change in 
response to seasonal fluctuations in precipitation and tidal 
inundation. A portion of this unit is on State-owned land under the 
jurisdiction of either CDFG (Moss Landing Wildlife Area) or CDPR (Moss 
Landing State Beach). The rest of the unit is on privately owned land, 
or land owned by local government. MN-1 was occupied by tidewater 
gobies at the time of listing and is currently one of two occupied 
localities in Monterey County. MN-1 is likely a source population for 
this

[[Page 5943]]

region. MN-1 is located 4.1 mi (6.6 km) south of the Pajaro River (SC-
5). The unit is separated from the nearest extant population to the 
south, Moro Coho Slough (not designated as critical habitat), by 1.3 mi 
(2.1 km). This unit will support the recovery of the tidewater goby 
population along this portion of the coast and help facilitate 
colonization of currently unoccupied locations. Known threats to 
tidewater goby habitat that may require special management 
considerations or protection of the PCEs in this unit are described in 
Table 2.

SLO-1: Arroyo del Corral

    Unit SLO-1 consists of 5 ac (2 ha) located approximately 6 mi (9.7 
km) northwest of San Simeon. On an intermittent basis, SLO-1 possesses 
a sandbar across the mouth of the lagoon or estuary during the late 
spring, summer, and fall that closes or partially closes the lagoon or 
estuary and thereby provides relatively stable conditions (PCE 4). PCEs 
1, 2, and 3 occur throughout the unit, although their precise location 
during any particular time period may change in response to seasonal 
fluctuations in precipitation and tidal inundation. This unit consists 
entirely of State lands. SLO-1 was occupied at the time of listing and 
is currently occupied. SLO-1 is likely a source population for this 
region. SLO-1 is the northernmost of the seven San Luis Obispo County 
units and is located 83.2 mi (133.9 km) south of Bennett Slough (MN-1). 
The unit is separated from the nearest extant population to the south, 
Oak Knoll Creek (SLO-2), by 4.3 mi (6.9 km). This unit will support the 
recovery of the tidewater goby population along this portion of the 
coast and help facilitate colonization of currently unoccupied 
locations. Known threats to tidewater goby habitat that may require 
special management considerations or protection of the PCEs in this 
unit are described in Table 2.

SLO-2: Oak Knoll Creek (Arroyo Laguna)

    Unit SLO-2 consists of 3 ac (1 ha) located approximately 2 mi (3.2 
km) northwest of San Simeon. On an intermittent basis, SLO-2 possesses 
a sandbar across the mouth of the lagoon or estuary during the late 
spring, summer, and fall that closes or partially closes the lagoon or 
estuary and thereby provides relatively stable conditions (PCE 4). PCEs 
1, 2, and 3 occur throughout the unit, although their precise location 
during any particular time period may change in response to seasonal 
fluctuations in precipitation and tidal inundation. This unit consists 
entirely of State lands. SLO-2 was occupied at the time of listing and 
is currently occupied. SLO-2 is located 4.3 mi (6.9 km) south of Arroyo 
del Corral (SLO-1). The unit is separated from the nearest extant 
population to the south, in Arroyo de Tortuga (not designated as 
critical habitat), by 4.9 mi (7.9 km). This unit allows for 
connectivity between tidewater goby source populations, and thereby 
supports gene flow and metapopulation dynamics in this region. Known 
threats to tidewater goby habitat that may require special management 
considerations or protection of the PCEs in this unit are described in 
Table 2.

SLO-3: Little Pico Creek

    Unit SLO-3 consists of 2 ac (1 ha) located approximately 6.7 mi 
(10.8 km) northwest of the town of Cambria. On an intermittent basis,

during the late spring, summer, and fall that closes or partially 
closes the lagoon or estuary and thereby provides relatively stable 
conditions (PCE 4). PCEs 1, 2, and 3 occur throughout the unit, 
although their precise location during any particular time period may 
change in response to seasonal fluctuations in precipitation and tidal 
inundation. This unit consists entirely of State lands. SLO-3 is 
located 3.7 mi (5.9 km) south of Oak Knoll Creek (SLO-2). The unit is 
separated from the nearest extant population to the north, in Broken 
Bridge Creek (not designated as critical habitat), by 1.4 mi (2.2 km). 
SLO-3 was occupied at the time of listing, is currently occupied, and 
is likely a source population for this region. This unit will support 
the recovery of the tidewater goby population along this portion of the 
coast and help facilitate colonization of currently unoccupied 
locations. Known threats to tidewater goby habitat that may require 
special management considerations or protection of the PCEs in this 
unit are described in Table 2.

SLO-4: San Simeon Creek

    Unit SLO-4 consists of 16 ac (7 ha) located approximately 3.3 mi 
(5.3 km) northwest of the town of Cambria. On an intermittent basis, 
SLO-4 possesses a sandbar across the mouth of the lagoon or estuary 
during the late spring, summer, and fall that closes or partially 
closes the lagoon or estuary and thereby provides relatively stable 
conditions (PCE 4). PCEs 1, 2, and 3 occur throughout the unit, 
although their precise location during any particular time period may 
change in response to seasonal fluctuations in precipitation and tidal 
inundation. This unit consists entirely of State lands that are part of 
San Simeon State Park. SLO-4 is located 3.8 mi (6.1 km) south of Little 
Pico Creek (SLO-3). The unit is separated from the nearest extant 
population to the south, in Santa Rosa Creek (not designated as 
critical habitat), by 2.6 mi (4.2 km). SLO-4 was occupied at the time 
of listing, is currently occupied, and is likely a source population 
for this region. This unit will support the recovery of the tidewater 
goby population along this portion of the coast and help facilitate 
colonization of currently unoccupied locations. Known threats to 
tidewater goby habitat that may require special management 
considerations or protection of the PCEs in this unit are described in 
Table 2.

SLO-5: Villa Creek

    Unit SLO-5 consists of 5 ac (2 ha) located approximately 9.6 mi 
(15.4 km) southeast of Cambria. On an intermittent basis, SLO-5 
possesses a sandbar across the mouth of the lagoon or estuary during 
the late spring, summer, and fall that closes or partially closes the 
lagoon or estuary and thereby provides relatively stable conditions 
(PCE 4). PCEs 1, 2, and 3 occur throughout the unit, although their 
precise location during any particular time period may change in 
response to seasonal fluctuations in precipitation and tidal 
inundation. This unit consists entirely of State lands. SLO-5 was 
occupied at the time of listing, is currently occupied, and is likely a 
source population for this region. SLO-5 is located 12.3 mi (19.8 km) 
south of San Simeon Creek (SLO-4). The unit is separated from the 
nearest extant population to the south, in San Geronimo Creek (SLO-6), 
by 2.3 mi (3.7 km). This unit will support the recovery of the 
tidewater goby population along this portion of the coast and help 
facilitate colonization of currently unoccupied locations. Known 
threats to tidewater goby habitat that may require special management 
considerations or protection of the PCEs in this unit are described in 
Table 2.

SLO-6: San Geronimo Creek

    Unit SLO-6 consists of 1 ac (1 ha) located approximately 7.6 mi 
(12.2 km) northwest of the town of Morro Bay. On an intermittent basis, 
SLO-6 possesses a sandbar across the mouth of the lagoon or estuary 
during the late spring, summer, and fall that closes or partially 
closes the lagoon or estuary and thereby provides relatively stable 
conditions (PCE 4). PCEs 1, 2, and 3 occur throughout the unit, 
although their precise location during any particular

[[Page 5944]]

time period may change in response to seasonal fluctuations in 
precipitation and tidal inundation. This unit consists entirely of 
State lands. SLO-6 was occupied at the time of listing, is currently 
occupied, and is likely a source population for this region. SLO-6 is 
located 2.3 mi (3.7 km) south of Villa Creek (SLO-5). The unit is 
separated from the nearest extant population to the south, in Cayucos 
Creek (not designated as critical habitat), by 1.5 mi (2.4 km). This 
unit will support the recovery of the tidewater goby population along 
this portion of the coast and help facilitate colonization of currently 
unoccupied locations. Known threats to tidewater goby habitat that may 
require special management considerations or protection of the PCEs in 
this unit are described in Table 2.

SLO-7: Pismo Creek

    Unit SLO-7 consists of 18 ac (8 ha) located within, or is directly 
adjacent to, the town of Pismo Beach. On an intermittent basis, SLO-7 
possesses a sandbar across the mouth of the lagoon or estuary during 
the late spring, summer, and fall that closes or partially closes the 
lagoon or estuary and thereby provides relatively stable conditions 
(PCE 4). PCEs 1, 2, and 3 occur throughout the unit, although their 
precise location during any particular time period may change in 
response to seasonal fluctuations in precipitation and tidal 
inundation. Approximately 60 percent of this locality is located on 
State-owned land that is part of Pismo State Beach; the remainder is 
privately owned or owned by the town of Pismo Beach. SLO-7 was occupied 
at the time of listing, and is currently occupied. SLO-7 is the 
southernmost of the seven San Luis Obispo County units and is located 
27.3 mi (44.0 km) south of San Geronimo Creek (SLO-6). The unit is 
separated from the nearest extant population to the south, in Arroyo 
Grande Creek (not designated as critical habitat), by 2.6 mi (4.2 km). 
SLO-7 has been consistently occupied over time and is likely a source 
population for this region. This unit will support the recovery of the 
tidewater goby population along this portion of the coast and help 
facilitate colonization of currently unoccupied locations. Known 
threats to tidewater goby habitat that may require special management 
considerations or protection of the PCEs in this unit are described in 
Table 2.

SB-1: Santa Maria River

    Unit SB-1 consists of 468 ac (189 ha) located approximately 13 mi 
(21 km) west of the city of Santa Maria. On an intermittent basis, SB-1 
possesses a sandbar across the mouth of the lagoon or estuary during 
the late spring, summer, and fall that closes or partially closes the 
lagoon or estuary and thereby provides relatively stable conditions 
(PCE 4). PCEs 1, 2, and 3 occur throughout the unit, although their 
precise location during any particular time period may change in 
response to seasonal fluctuations in precipitation and tidal 
inundation. This unit consists of land that is owned by local 
government and privately owned land. SB-1 was occupied at the time of 
listing, is currently occupied, and is likely a source population for 
this region. SB-1 is the northernmost of the nine Santa Barbara County 
units and is located 11.8 mi (18.9 km) south of Pismo Creek (SLO-9). 
The unit is separated from the nearest extant population to the south, 
in Shuman Canyon (not designated as critical habitat), by 8.6 mi (13.9 
km). This unit will support the recovery of the tidewater goby 
population along this portion of the coast and help facilitate 
colonization of currently unoccupied locations. Known threats to 
tidewater goby habitat that may require special management 
considerations or protection of the PCEs in this unit are described in 
Table 2.

SB-2: Canada de las Agujas

    Unit SB-2 consists of 1 ac (1 ha) located approximately 7.2 mi 
(11.6 km) west of Gaviota. On an intermittent basis, SB-2 possesses a 
sandbar across the mouth of the lagoon or estuary during the late 
spring, summer, and fall that closes or partially closes the lagoon or 
estuary and thereby provides relatively stable conditions (PCE 4). PCEs 
1, 2, and 3 occur throughout the unit, although their precise location 
during any particular time period may change in response to seasonal 
fluctuations in precipitation and tidal inundation. This unit consists 
of privately owned lands. SB-2 was occupied at the time of listing and 
is currently occupied. SB-2 is located 38.8 mi (62.5 km) south of the 
Santa Maria River (SB-1). The unit is separated from the nearest extant 
population to the south, in Arroyo El Bulito (not designated as 
critical habitat), by 0.4 mi (0.7 km). This unit allows for 
connectivity between tidewater goby source populations, and thereby 
supports gene flow and metapopulation dynamics in this region. 
Furthermore, we believe this unit, and units SB-3, SB-4, SB-5, and SB-
6, likely act as a metapopulation as defined and discussed in the 
Background and Criteria Used To Identify Critical Habitat sections. 
These units are no more than 2.0 mi (3.3 km) from each other, which 
facilitates higher dispersal rates between sites. Because these units 
are of relatively small size in area (1 to 9 ac (1 to 4 ha)), they are 
more susceptible to drying up or shrinking due to drought conditions 
and thereby increasing the likelihood of local extirpation. Lastly, 
because these units are small, they are likely to be dependent upon 
some degree of periodic exchange of tidewater gobies between units for 
any one unit to persist over time. Therefore, these five units will 
function together to support the recovery of the tidewater goby along 
the Gaviota Coast in Santa Barbara County. Known threats to tidewater 
goby habitat that may require special management considerations or 
protection of the PCEs in this unit are described in Table 2.

SB-3: Canada de Santa Anita

    Unit SB-3 consists of 3 ac (1 ha) located approximately 5.2 mi (8.4 
km) west of Gaviota. On an intermittent basis, SB-3 possesses a sandbar 
across the mouth of the lagoon or estuary during the late spring, 
summer, and fall that closes or partially closes the lagoon or estuary 
and thereby provides relatively stable conditions (PCE 4). PCEs 1, 2, 
and 3 occur throughout the unit, although their precise location during 
any particular time period may change in response to seasonal 
fluctuations in precipitation and tidal inundation. This unit consists 
of privately owned lands. SB-3 was occupied at the time of listing and 
is currently occupied. SB-3 is located 2.0 mi (3.2 km) south of Canada 
de las Agujas (SB-2). The unit is separated from the nearest extant 
population to the north, in Canada del Agua (not designated as critical 
habitat), by 0.4 mi (0.7 km). This unit is important to the 
conservation of the species because it allows for connectivity between 
tidewater goby source populations, and thereby supports gene flow and 
metapopulation dynamics in this region. Furthermore, as described above 
in SB-2, we believe this unit, and units SB-2, SB-4, SB-5, and SB-6, 
likely act as a metapopulation as defined and discussed in the 
Background and Criteria Used To Identify Critical Habitat sections. 
Known threats to tidewater goby habitat that may require special 
management considerations or protection of the PCEs in this unit are 
described in Table 2.

SB-4: Canada de Alegria

    Unit SB-4 consists of 1 ac (1 ha) located approximately 3.2 mi (5.1 
km) west of Gaviota. On an intermittent

[[Page 5945]]

basis, SB-4 possesses a sandbar across the mouth of the lagoon or 
estuary during the late spring, summer, and fall that closes or 
partially closes the lagoon or estuary and thereby provides relatively 
stable conditions (PCE 4). PCEs 1, 2, and 3 occur throughout the unit, 
although their precise location during any particular time period may 
change in response to seasonal fluctuations in precipitation and tidal 
inundation. This unit consists of privately owned lands. SB-4 was 
occupied at the time of listing and is currently occupied. SB-4 is 
located 2.0 mi (3.3 km) south of Canada de Santa Anita (SB-3). The unit 
is separated from the nearest extant population to the south, in Canada 
de Agua Caliente (SB-5), by 1.1 mi (1.8 km). This unit is important to 
the conservation of the species because it allows for connectivity 
between tidewater goby source populations, and thereby supports gene 
flow and metapopulation dynamics in this region. Furthermore, as 
described above in SB-2, we believe this unit, and units SB-2, SB-3, 
SB-5, and SB-6, likely act as a metapopulation as defined and discussed 
in the Background and Criteria Used To Identify Critical Habitat 
sections. Known threats to tidewater goby habitat that may require 
special management considerations or protection of the PCEs in this 
unit are described in Table 2.

SB-5: Canada de Agua Caliente

    Unit SB-5 consists of 1 ac (1 ha) located approximately 2.1 mi (3.4 
km) west of Gaviota. On an intermittent basis, SB-5 possesses a sandbar 
across the mouth of the lagoon or estuary during the late spring, 
summer, and fall that closes or partially closes the lagoon or estuary 
and thereby provides relatively stable conditions (PCE 4). PCEs 1, 2, 
and 3 occur throughout the unit, although their precise location during 
any particular time period may change in response to seasonal 
fluctuations in precipitation and tidal inundation. This unit consists 
of privately owned land. SB-5 was occupied at the time of listing and 
is currently occupied. This unit also allows for connectivity between 
tidewater goby source populations, and thereby supports gene flow and 
metapopulation dynamics in this region. Furthermore, as described above 
in SB-2, we believe this unit, and units SB-2, SB-3, SB-4, and SB-6, 
likely act as a metapopulation as defined and discussed in the 
Background and Criteria Used To Identify Critical Habitat sections. 
Known threats to tidewater goby habitat that may require special 
management considerations or protection of the PCEs in this unit are 
described in Table 2.

SB-6: Gaviota Creek

    Unit SB-6 consists of 9 ac (4 ha) located approximately 0.8 mi (1.3 
km) west of Gaviota. On an intermittent basis, SB-6 possesses a sandbar 
across the mouth of the lagoon or estuary during the late spring, 
summer, and fall that closes or partially closes the lagoon or estuary 
and thereby provides relatively stable conditions (PCE 4). PCEs 1, 2, 
and 3 occur throughout the unit, although their precise location during 
any particular time period may change in response to seasonal 
fluctuations in precipitation and tidal inundation. This unit consists 
of State lands that are part of Gaviota Creek State Park, and includes 
some privately owned land. SB-6 was occupied at the time of listing and 
is currently occupied. SB-6 is located 1.5 mi (2.4 km) south of Canada 
de Agua Caliente (SB-5), which is also the nearest extant population. 
This unit is important to the conservation of the species because it 
allows for connectivity between tidewater goby source populations, and 
thereby supports gene flow and metapopulation dynamics in this region. 
Furthermore, as described above in SB-2, we believe this unit, and 
units SB-2, SB-3, SB-4, and SB-5, likely act as a metapopulation as 
defined and discussed in the Background and Criteria Used To Identify 
Critical Habitat sections. Known threats to tidewater goby habitat that 
may require special management considerations or protection of the PCEs 
in this unit are described in Table 2.

SB-7: Winchester/Bell Canyon

    Unit SB-7 consists of 6 ac (3 ha) located approximately 2.2 mi (3.5 
km) west of the community of El Encanto Heights. On an intermittent 
basis, SB-7 possesses a sandbar across the mouth of the lagoon or 
estuary during the late spring, summer, and fall that closes or 
partially closes the lagoon or estuary and thereby provides relatively 
stable conditions (PCE 4). PCEs 1, 2, and 3 occur throughout the unit, 
although their precise location during any particular time period may 
change in response to seasonal fluctuations in precipitation and tidal 
inundation. This unit includes privately owned land, and land that is 
owned by local government. SB-7 was occupied at the time of listing and 
is currently occupied. SB-7 is located 4.3 mi (6.9 km) south of Gaviota 
Creek (SB-6). The unit is separated from the nearest extant population 
to the north, Tecolote Canyon (not designated as critical habitat), by 
0.3 mi (0.4 km). This unit is important to the conservation of the 
species because it allows for connectivity between tidewater goby 
source populations, and thereby supports gene flow and metapopulation 
dynamics in this region. Known threats to tidewater goby habitat that 
may require special management considerations or protection of the PCEs 
in this unit are described in Table 2.

SB-8: Arroyo Burro

    Unit SB-8 consists of 2 ac (1 ha) located approximately 3.6 mi (5.8 
km) west of the city of Santa Barbara. On an intermittent basis, SB-8 
possesses a sandbar across the mouth of the lagoon or estuary during 
the late spring, summer, and fall that closes or partially closes the 
lagoon or estuary and thereby provides relatively stable conditions 
(PCE 4). PCEs 1, 2, and 3 occur throughout the unit, although their 
precise location during any particular time period may change in 
response to seasonal fluctuations in precipitation and tidal 
inundation. This unit occurs on land that is owned by local government. 
Surveys for tidewater gobies were not conducted at SB-8 prior to 
listing, although subsequent surveys found them to be present. Because 
it is isolated from other tidewater goby localities, SB-8 could have 
been colonized after listing; therefore, we consider it to have been 
unoccupied at the time of listing. However, this unit is essential to 
the conservation of the species because it allows for connectivity 
between tidewater goby source populations, and thereby supports gene 
flow and metapopulation dynamics in this region. SB-8 is located 9.9 mi 
(15.9 km) south of Winchester/Bell Canyon (SB-7). The unit is separated 
from the nearest extant population to the south, in Laguna Channel/
Mission Creek (SB-9), by 2.8 mi (4.5 km).

SB-9: Mission Creek-Laguna Channel

    Unit SB-9 consists of 14 ac (6 ha) located on the southern margin 
of the city of Santa Barbara. On an intermittent basis, SB-9 possesses 
a sandbar across the mouth of the lagoon or estuary during the late 
spring, summer, and fall that closes or partially closes the lagoon or 
estuary and thereby provides relatively stable conditions (PCE 4). PCEs 
1, 2, and 3 occur throughout the unit, although their precise location 
during any particular time period may change in response to seasonal 
fluctuations in precipitation and tidal inundation. A portion of this 
unit is owned by the city of Santa Barbara, and the remainder is 
privately owned. SB-

[[Page 5946]]

9 was occupied at the time of listing, is currently occupied, and is 
likely a source population for this region. SB-9 is the southernmost of 
the nine Santa Barbara County units and is located 2.8 mi (4.5 km) 
south of Arroyo Burro (SB-8). The unit is separated from the nearest 
extant population to the south, in Sycamore Creek (not designated as 
critical habitat), by 1.0 mi (1.5 km). This unit will support the 
recovery of the tidewater goby population along this portion of the 
coast and help facilitate colonization of currently unoccupied 
locations. Known threats to tidewater goby habitat that may require 
special management considerations or protection of the PCEs in this 
unit are described in Table 2.

VEN-1: Ventura River

    Unit VEN-1 consists of 51 ac (20 ha) located on the northern border 
of the city of Ventura. On an intermittent basis, VEN-1 possesses a 
sandbar across the mouth of the lagoon or estuary during the late 
spring, summer, and fall that closes or partially closes the lagoon or 
estuary and thereby provides relatively stable conditions (PCE 4). PCEs 
1, 2, and 3 occur throughout the unit, although their precise location 
during any particular time period may change in response to seasonal 
fluctuations in precipitation and tidal inundation. A portion of this 
unit is on State-owned land, and the remainder is privately owned. VEN-
1 was occupied at the time of listing, is currently occupied, and is 
likely a source population for this region. VEN-1 is the northernmost 
of the three Ventura County units and is located 23.4 mi (37.7 km) 
south of the Mission Creek-Laguna Channel unit (SB-9). The unit is 
separated from the nearest extant population to the south, the Santa 
Clara River (VEN-2), by 4.3 mi (7.0 km). This unit will support the 
recovery of the tidewater goby population along this portion of the 
coast and help facilitate colonization of currently unoccupied 
locations. Known threats to tidewater goby habitat that may require 
special management considerations or protection of the PCEs in this 
unit are described in Table 2.

VEN-2: Santa Clara River

    Unit VEN-2 consists of 350 ac (142 ha) located about 4 mi (6.4 km) 
southeast of the city of Ventura and 7 mi (11.3 km) northwest of Port 
Hueneme. On an intermittent basis, VEN-2 possesses a sandbar across the 
mouth of the lagoon or estuary during the late spring, summer, and fall 
that closes or partially closes the lagoon or estuary and thereby 
provides relatively stable conditions (PCE 4). PCEs 1, 2, and 3 occur 
throughout the unit, although their precise location during any 
particular time period may change in response to seasonal fluctuations 
in precipitation and tidal inundation. VEN-2 consists of State-owned 
lands, which are part of McGrath State Beach, and privately owned 
lands. VEN-2 was occupied by tidewater gobies at the time of listing, 
is currently occupied, and is likely a source population for this 
region. VEN-2 is located 4.3 mi (7.0 km) south of the Ventura River 
unit (SB-9), which is also the nearest extant population. This unit 
will support the recovery of the tidewater goby population along this 
portion of the coast and help facilitate colonization of currently 
unoccupied locations. This critical habitat unit is known to have tens 
of thousands of tidewater gobies during certain times of the year 
(Swift 2006), and is considered one of the largest tidewater goby 
populations in southern California. Known threats to tidewater goby 
habitat that may require special management considerations or 
protection of the PCEs in this unit are described in Table 2.

VEN-3: J Street Drain-Ormond Lagoon

    Unit VEN-3 consists of 45 ac (18 ha) located approximately 1 mi 
(1.6 km) east of Port Hueneme. On an intermittent basis, VEN-3 
possesses a sandbar across the mouth of the lagoon or estuary during 
the late spring, summer, and fall that closes or partially closes the 
lagoon or estuary and thereby provides relatively stable conditions 
(PCE 4). PCEs 1, 2, and 3 occur throughout the unit, although their 
precise location during any particular time period may change in 
response to seasonal fluctuations in precipitation and tidal 
inundation. This unit consists of State and local government lands. 
VEN-3 was occupied at the time of listing and is currently occupied. 
VEN-3 is the southernmost of the three Ventura County units and is 
located 4.3 mi (6.9 km) south of the Santa Clara River (VEN-2), which 
is also the nearest extant population. This unit allows for 
connectivity between tidewater goby source populations, and thereby 
supports gene flow and metapopulation dynamics in this region. Known 
threats to tidewater goby habitat that may require special management 
considerations or protection of the PCEs in this unit are described in 
Table 2.

LA-1: Malibu Lagoon

    Unit LA-1 consists of 64 ac (27 ha) located 0.6 mi (1 km) east of 
Malibu Beach. On an intermittent basis, LA-1 possesses a sandbar across 
the mouth of the lagoon or estuary during the late spring, summer, and 
fall that closes or partially closes the lagoon or estuary and thereby 
provides relatively stable conditions (PCE 4). PCEs 1, 2, and 3 occur 
throughout the unit, although their precise location during any 
particular time period may change in response to seasonal fluctuations 
in precipitation and tidal inundation. This unit consists entirely of 
State lands that are part of Malibu Creek State Park. This unit was 
occupied at the time of listing, is currently occupied, and is likely a 
source population for this region. LA-1 is one of the two remaining 
extant populations of tidewater gobies within Los Angeles County, both 
of which have been designated as critical habitat units. LA-1 is 
located 29.6 mi (47.7 km) south of J Street Drain-Ormond Lagoon (VEN-
3). The unit is separated from the nearest extant population to the 
south, in Topanga Canyon (LA-2), by 6.0 mi (9.6 km). This unit will 
support the recovery of the tidewater goby population along this 
portion of the coast and help facilitate colonization of currently 
unoccupied locations. Known threats to tidewater goby habitat that may 
require special management considerations or protection of the PCEs in 
this unit are described in Table 2.

LA-2: Topanga Creek

    Unit LA-2 consists of 5 ac (2 ha) approximately 5.5 mi (8.9 km) 
northwest of the city of Santa Monica. On an intermittent basis, LA-2 
possesses a sandbar across the mouth of the lagoon or estuary during 
the late spring, summer, and fall that closes or partially closes the 
lagoon or estuary and thereby provides relatively stable conditions 
(PCE 4). PCEs 1, 2, and 3 occur throughout the unit, although their 
precise location during any particular time period may change in 
response to seasonal fluctuations in precipitation and tidal 
inundation. This unit consists entirely of State lands. Tidewater goby 
surveys of LA-2 prior to and at the time of listing did not find them 
to be present. Tidewater gobies were first detected at this locality in 
2001 and the unit is currently occupied. We consider this unit to be 
essential to the conservation of the species because it allows for 
connectivity between tidewater goby source populations, and thereby 
supports gene flow and metapopulation dynamics in this region. 
Tidewater gobies in Topanga Canyon are probably derived from fish that 
dispersed from Malibu Creek. This location is one of the only two 
remaining localities in Los Angeles County that are occupied by 
tidewater gobies. LA-2 is located 6.0 mi (9.6 km)

[[Page 5947]]

south of the Malibu Creek unit (LA-1), which is also the nearest extant 
population.

Effects of Critical Habitat Designation

Section 7 Consultation

    Section 7(a)(2) of the Act requires Federal agencies, including the 
Service, to ensure that actions they fund, authorize, or carry out are 
not likely to destroy or adversely modify critical habitat. Decisions 
by the 5th and 9th Circuit Courts of Appeals have invalidated our 
definition of ``destruction or adverse modification'' (50 CFR 402.02) 
(see Gifford Pinchot Task Force v. U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, 378 
F. 3d 1059 (9th Cir 2004) and Sierra Club v. U.S. Fish and Wildlife 
Service et al., 245 F.3d 434, 442F (5th Cir 2001)), and we do not rely 
on this regulatory definition when analyzing whether an action is 
likely to destroy or adversely modify critical habitat. Under the 
statutory provisions of the Act, we determine destruction or adverse 
modification on the basis of whether, with implementation of the 
proposed Federal action, the affected critical habitat would remain 
functional to serve its intended conservation role for the species.
    If a Federal action may affect a listed species or its critical 
habitat, the responsible Federal agency (action agency) must enter into 
consultation with us. As a result of this consultation, we document 
compliance with the requirements of section 7(a)(2) through our 
issuance of:
    (1) A concurrence letter for Federal actions that may affect, but 
are not likely to adversely affect, listed species or critical habitat; 
or
    (2) A biological opinion for Federal actions that are likely to 
adversely affect listed species or critical habitat.
    When we issue a biological opinion concluding that a project is 
likely to result in jeopardy to a listed species or the destruction or 
adverse modification of critical habitat, we also provide reasonable 
and prudent alternatives to the project, if any are identifiable. We 
define ``Reasonable and prudent alternatives'' at 50 CFR 402.02 as 
alternative actions identified during consultation that:
     Can be implemented in a manner consistent with the 
intended purpose of the action,
     Can be implemented consistent with the scope of the 
Federal agency's legal authority and jurisdiction,
     Are economically and technologically feasible, and
     Would, in the Director's opinion, avoid jeopardy to the 
listed species or destruction or adverse modification of critical 
habitat.
    Reasonable and prudent alternatives can vary from slight project 
modifications to extensive redesign or relocation of the project. Costs 
associated with implementing a reasonable and prudent alternative are 
similarly variable.
    Regulations at 50 CFR 402.16 require Federal agencies to reinitiate 
consultation on previously reviewed actions in instances where we have 
listed a new species or subsequently designated critical habitat that 
may be affected and the Federal agency has retained discretionary 
involvement or control over the action (or the agency's discretionary 
involvement or control is authorized by law). Consequently, Federal 
agencies may sometimes need to request reinitiation of consultation 
with us on actions for which formal consultation has been completed, if 
those actions with discretionary involvement or control may affect 
subsequently listed species or designated critical habitat.
    Federal activities that may affect the tidewater goby or its 
designated critical habitat will require section 7(a)(2) consultation 
under the Act. Activities on State, Tribal, local or private lands 
requiring a Federal permit (such as a permit from the U.S. Army Corps 
of Engineers under section 404 of the Clean Water Act (33 U.S.C. 1251 
et seq.) or a permit from us under section 10(a)(1)(B) of the Act) or 
involving some other Federal action (such as funding from the Federal 
Highway Administration, Federal Aviation Administration, or the Federal 
Emergency Management Agency) are also subject to the section 7(a)(2) 
consultation process. Federal actions not affecting listed species or 
critical habitat, and actions on State, Tribal, local or private lands 
that are not federally funded, authorized, or permitted, do not require 
section 7(a)(2) consultations.

Application of the ``Adverse Modification'' Standard

    The key factor related to the adverse modification determination is 
whether, with implementation of the proposed Federal action, the 
affected critical habitat would continue to serve its intended 
conservation role for the species. Activities that may destroy or 
adversely modify critical habitat are those that alter the PCEs to an 
extent that appreciably reduces the conservation value of critical 
habitat for the tidewater goby. Generally, the conservation role of 
tidewater goby critical habitat units is to support viable 
metapopulations.
    Section 4(b)(8) of the Act requires us to briefly evaluate and 
describe in any proposed or final regulation that designates critical 
habitat, those activities involving a Federal action that may destroy 
or adversely modify such habitat, or that may be affected by such 
designation.
    Activities that, when carried out, funded, or authorized by a 
Federal agency, may affect critical habitat and therefore should result 
in consultation for the tidewater goby include, but are not limited to:
    (1) Actions such as channelization and water diversion that reduce 
the amount of space that is available for individual and population 
growth and normal behavior, and reduce or eliminate sites for breeding, 
reproduction, and rearing (or development) of offspring.
    (2) Actions that substantially alter the natural hydrologic regime 
upstream of the designated critical habitat units. These activities 
could include, but are not limited to, ground water pumping or surface 
water diversion activities, construction of impoundments or flood 
control structures, or the release of water in excess of levels that 
historically occurred. Such activities could result in an atypical 
reduction or excess amount of water that is present in the aquatic 
habitats that tidewater gobies occupy, and alter salinity conditions 
that support this species.
    (3) Actions that substantially alter the channel morphology of the 
designated critical habitat units, or the areas up gradient from these 
units. Such activities may include, but are not limited to, 
channelization projects, road and bridge projects, removal of 
substrates, destruction and alteration of riparian vegetation, 
reduction of available floodplain, and removal of gravel or floodplain 
terrace materials. Such activities could increase water velocities and 
flush large numbers of tidewater gobies into the ocean especially 
during flood events.
    (4) Actions that result in the discharge of agricultural and sewage 
effluents, or chemical or biological pollutants into the aquatic 
habitats where tidewater gobies occur. Such activities have the ability 
to degrade the water quality where tidewater gobies live, introduce 
toxic substances that can poison individual fish, adversely affect fish 
immune systems, and decrease the amount of oxygen in aquatic habitats 
where the species occurs.
    (5) Actions that cause atypical levels of sedimentation in coastal 
wetland habitats or remove vegetative cover that

[[Page 5948]]

stabilizes stream banks. Such activities could include, but are not 
limited to, grazing or mining activities, road construction projects, 
off-road vehicle use, and other watershed and floodplain disturbance 
activities. Such activities have the potential to alter the amount and 
composition of the substrate in the habitats where tidewater gobies 
occur, and thereby affect the species' ability to construct breeding 
burrows.
    (6) Actions that result in the artificial breaching of lagoon 
habitats. Such activities can reduce the amount of space that is 
available for individual and population growth; strand and desiccate 
tidewater goby adults, fry or eggs; and increase the risk they will be 
preyed upon by native or non-native predators as they become 
concentrated and exposed as water levels drop.
    (7) Actions that create barriers that prevent tidewater gobies from 
accessing areas they would normally be able to access. These 
activities, which may include, but are not limited to, water 
diversions, road crossings, and sills, can reduce the amount of space 
that is available for individual and population growth, and reduce the 
number and extent of sites for breeding, reproduction, and rearing (or 
development) of offspring.
    With the exception of the Eel River, Arroyo Burro, and Topanga 
Creek units, all of the critical habitat units were occupied by the 
species at the time of listing and contain the features essential to 
the conservation of the tidewater goby. Eel River, Arroyo Burro, and 
Topanga Creek units were not occupied at the time of listing but are 
currently occupied. As discussed in the Unit Descriptions section, 
these units are essential to the conservation of the species.

Application of Section 4(a)(3) of the Act--Approved Integrated Natural 
Resource Management Plans

    The Sikes Act Improvement Act of 1997 (Sikes Act) (16 U.S.C. 670a) 
required each military installation that includes land and water 
suitable for the conservation and management of natural resources to 
complete an Integrated Natural Resource Management Plan (INRMP) by 
November 17, 2001. An INRMP integrates implementation of the military 
mission of the installation with stewardship of the natural resources 
found on the base. Each INRMP includes:
     An assessment of the ecological needs on the installation, 
including the need to provide for the conservation of listed species;
     A statement of goals and priorities;
     A detailed description of management actions to be 
implemented to provide for these ecological needs; and
     A monitoring and adaptive management plan.
    Among other things, each INRMP must, to the extent appropriate and 
applicable, provide for fish and wildlife management, fish and wildlife 
habitat enhancement or modification, wetland protection, enhancement, 
and restoration where necessary to support fish and wildlife and 
enforcement of applicable natural resource laws.
    The National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2004 (Pub. 
L. 108-136) amended the Act to limit areas eligible for designation as 
critical habitat. Specifically, section 4(a)(3)(B)(i) of the Act (16 
U.S.C. 1533(a)(3)(B)(i)) now provides: ``The Secretary shall not 
designate as critical habitat any lands or other geographical areas 
owned or controlled by the Department of Defense, or designated for its 
use, that are subject to an integrated natural resources management 
plan prepared under section 101 of the Sikes Act (16 U.S.C. 670a), if 
the Secretary determines in writing that such plan provides a benefit 
to the species for which critical habitat is proposed for 
designation.''
    We consulted with the military on the development and 
implementation of INRMPs for installations with listed species. We 
analyzed INRMPs developed by military installations located within the 
range of the critical habitat designation for the tidewater goby to 
determine if they are exempt under section 4(a)(3) of the Act.

Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton

    At the time we designated critical habitat in 2000, the military 
had not completed an INRMP for the Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton 
(``Base'') in northwestern San Diego County, and section 4(a)(3)(B)(i) 
of the Act did not exist. Therefore, the areas where the tidewater goby 
occurred on the Base were included in the critical habitat designation. 
However, subsequently the Base has completed an INRMP, and in 
accordance with section 4(a)(3)(B)(i) of the Act, we have determined 
that conservation efforts identified in the INRMP for the Base provide 
benefits to the tidewater goby occurring in habitats within or adjacent 
to the Base. The approximately 838 ac (340 ha) of essential tidewater 
goby habitat identified on the Base are subject to the INRMP. This 
habitat is located in the following areas: San Mateo Creek, San Onofre 
Creek, Las Flores/Pulgas Creek, Hidden Lagoon, Aliso Canyon, French 
Lagoon, Cockleburr Canyon, and the Santa Margarita River. Therefore, we 
are exempting the approximately 838 ac (340 ha) of essential habitat 
occurring on this installation from the critical habitat designation 
for tidewater goby pursuant to section 4(a)(3) of the Act for the 
reasons described below.
    In 2001, the Marine Corps completed and approved an INRMP per the 
Sikes Act, as amended. All of the currently occupied tidewater goby 
locations in San Diego County are on the Base. Additionally, in 1995, 
the Marine Corps and the Service completed a large-scale programmatic 
consultation under section 7 of the Act addressing, among other 
species, the tidewater goby and its habitat. All of the conservation 
measures, including the Base's Estuarine/Beach Ecosystem Conservation 
Plan and the terms and conditions from that consultation, have been 
incorporated into the INRMP. The objective of the Estuarine/Beach 
Ecosystem Conservation Plan is to ``manage and protect the natural 
resources along the Base's coastline emphasizing coastal lagoons and 
the Santa Margarita River Estuary'', which includes tidewater goby 
habitat. Specific measures in the INRMP that benefit the tidewater goby 
include: (1) General avoidance of estuarine wetlands by all military 
activities, (2) maintenance of currently and historically occupied 
tidewater goby habitat, (3) compensation for unavoidable impacts, (4) 
regular monitoring of tidewater goby populations, and (5) controlling 
and removing exotic plants and fish. Additionally, the Base is 
exploring the potential for habitat enhancement to benefit the 
tidewater goby, including deepening smaller lagoons. Further, the 
Base's environmental security staff reviews Base projects and enforces 
existing regulations and Base orders that, through their 
implementation, avoid and minimize impacts to natural resources, 
including tidewater gobies and their habitat, and also the Marine Corps 
regularly consults on any of their actions that fall outside of the 
programmatic consultation.
    Habitat features essential to the conservation of the tidewater 
goby exist on the Base; however, designating critical habitat on this 
military installation may impact its role as the Marine Corps' premier 
West Coast amphibious training base and therefore affect the Nation's 
military readiness. Activities occurring on the Base are currently 
being conducted in a manner that minimizes impacts to tidewater goby 
habitat, and the Marine Corps has committed to work closely with the 
Service and the State wildlife agency to

[[Page 5949]]

continually refine the existing INRMP as part of the Sikes Act's INRMP 
review process.

Vandenberg Air Force Base

    Based on the considerations outlined above in the introduction to 
this section and in accordance with section 4(a)(3)(B)(i) of the Act, 
we have determined that conservation efforts identified in the INRMP 
for Vandenberg Air Force Base (VAFB) in Santa Barbara County provide 
benefits to the tidewater goby occurring in habitats within or adjacent 
to VAFB. The approximately 775 ac (314 ha) of essential tidewater goby 
habitat identified on VAFB are subject to the INRMP. This habitat is 
located in the following areas: Shuman Canyon, San Antonio Creek, Santa 
Ynez River, Ca[ntilde]ada Honda, and Jalama Creek. Therefore, we are 
exempting the approximately 775 ac (314 ha) of essential habitat 
occurring on this installation from the critical habitat designation 
for tidewater goby pursuant to section 4(a)(3) of the Act for the 
reasons described below.
    VAFB completed and approved an INRMP in 1997, which they are in the 
process of updating. The VAFB original 1997 INRMP provides conservation 
measures for the tidewater goby, as well as for the management of 
important wetland habitats on the base, and therefore provides a 
benefit to the tidewater goby. The draft update includes the same 
conservation measures for the tidewater goby, includes the same 
management of important wetland habitats on the base, and will also 
provide a benefit to the tidewater goby. VAFB's 1997 INRMP and draft 
update benefit tidewater gobies through: (1) Avoidance of tidewater 
gobies and their habitat, whenever possible, in project planning; (2) 
scheduling of activities that may affect tidewater gobies outside of 
the peak breeding period (March-July); (3) coordination with VAFB water 
quality staff to prevent degradation and contamination of aquatic 
habitats; and (4) prohibiting the introduction of nonnative fishes into 
streams on-base. Further, VAFB's environmental staff reviews projects 
and enforces existing regulations and orders that, through their 
implementation, avoid and minimize impacts to natural resources, 
including tidewater gobies and their habitat. In addition, VAFB's 1997 
INRMP and draft update provide protection to aquatic habitats for the 
tidewater goby by excluding cattle from wetlands and riparian areas 
through the installation and maintenance of fencing. VAFB's 1997 INRMP 
and draft update specify periodic monitoring of the distribution and 
abundance of tidewater goby populations on the base.
    Habitat features essential to the conservation of the tidewater 
goby exist on VAFB; however, designating critical habitat on this 
military installation may impact its mission of launching and tracking 
of satellites and testing and evaluating missile systems, and therefore 
affect the nation's military readiness. Activities occurring on VAFB 
are currently being conducted in a manner that minimizes impacts to 
tidewater goby habitat, and VAFB has committed to work closely with the 
Service and the State wildlife agency to continually refine their 
existing INRMP as part of the Sikes Act's INRMP review process.
    Based on the above considerations, and in accordance with section 
4(a)(3)(B)(i) of the Act, we have determined that the essential habitat 
identified on Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton and Vandenberg Air Force 
Base are subject to the INRMPs approved for those installations, and 
the conservation efforts identified in the INRMPs provide benefits to 
the tidewater goby. Therefore, the approximately 1,613 ac (654 ha) of 
identified essential habitat are exempted from the critical habitat 
designation for the tidewater goby pursuant to section 4(a)(3) of the 
Act.

Application of Section 4(b)(2) of the Act

    Section 4(b)(2) of the Act states that the Secretary must designate 
and revise critical habitat on the basis of the best available 
scientific data after taking into consideration the economic impact, 
impact on national security, and any other relevant impact, of 
specifying any particular area as critical habitat. The Secretary may 
exclude an area from critical habitat if he determines that the 
benefits of such exclusion outweigh the benefits of specifying such 
area as part of the critical habitat, unless he determines, based on 
the best scientific data available, that the failure to designate such 
area as critical habitat will result in the extinction of the species. 
In making that determination, the Congressional legislative history is 
clear that the Secretary has broad discretion regarding which factor(s) 
to use and how much weight to give to any factor.
    We consider a number of factors in a section 4(b)(2) analysis. For 
example, we consider (1) whether there are lands owned or managed by 
the Department of Defense (DOD) where a national security impact might 
exist; (2) whether landowners have developed any conservation plans for 
the area; (3) whether there are conservation partnerships that would be 
encouraged by designation of, or exclusion from, critical habitat; (4) 
our government-to-government relationship with tribal entities and 
whether there are any Tribal issues; and (5) any social impacts that 
might occur because of the designation. We must also consider the 
economic impacts. The Service conducted an economic analysis of the 
impacts of the proposed critical habitat designation and related 
factors, which was made available for public review and comment on 
September 25, 2007.
    In preparing this final rule, we have determined that designation 
of critical habitat for the tidewater goby will have no impact to 
national security, Tribal lands, partnerships, or habitat conservation 
plans. Further, our economic analysis indicates an overall economic 
benefit as a result of the designation, and did not identify any 
particular areas where the designation would result in significant 
economic impacts. Therefore, we have found no areas for which the 
benefits of exclusion outweigh the benefits of inclusion, and so have 
not excluded any areas from this designation of critical habitat for 
tidewater goby under section 4(b)(2) of the Act.

Economics

    Section 4(b)(2) of the Act allows the Secretary to exclude areas 
from critical habitat for economic reasons if it is determined that the 
benefits of such exclusion exceed the benefits of designating the area 
as critical habitat. However, this exclusion cannot occur if it will 
result in the extinction of the species concerned.
    Following the publication of the proposed revised designation of 
critical habitat, we conducted an economic analysis to estimate the 
potential economic effect of the designation. This draft analysis was 
made available for public review on September 25, 2007 (72 FR 54411). 
We accepted comments on the draft economic analysis until October 10, 
2007. A final analysis of the potential economic effects of the 
proposed revised designation was then developed taking into 
consideration the public comments and any new information.
    The economic analysis considers the potential economic effects of 
actions relating to the conservation of the tidewater goby, including 
costs associated with sections 4, 7, and 10 of the Act, and including 
those attributable to the designation of critical habitat. It further 
considers the economic effects of protective measures taken as a result 
of other Federal, State, and local laws that aid habitat conservation 
for the

[[Page 5950]]

tidewater goby in areas containing features essential to the 
conservation of the species. The analysis considers both economic 
efficiency and distributional effects. In the case of habitat 
conservation, efficiency effects generally reflect the ``opportunity 
costs'' associated with the commitment of resources to comply with 
habitat protection measures (such as lost economic opportunities 
associated with restrictions on land use).
    The economic analysis focuses on the direct and indirect costs of 
the rule. However, economic impacts to land use activities can exist in 
the absence of critical habitat. These impacts may result from, for 
example, local zoning laws, State and natural resource laws, and 
enforceable management plans and best management practices applied by 
other State and Federal agencies. Economic impacts that result from 
these types of protections are not included in the analysis as they are 
considered to be part of the regulatory and policy baseline.
    The analysis also addresses how potential economic impacts are 
likely to be distributed, including an assessment of any local or 
regional impacts of habitat conservation and the potential effects of 
conservation activities on small entities and the energy industry. This 
information can be used by decision-makers to assess whether the 
effects of the designation might unduly burden a particular group or 
economic sector. Finally, the analysis looks retrospectively at costs 
that have been incurred since the date the tidewater goby was listed as 
endangered (February 4, 1994 (59 FR 5494) and considers those costs 
that may occur in the 20 years following a designation of critical 
habitat.
    The September 25, 2007 notice (72 FR 54411) provides a detailed 
economics section for the areas proposed as critical habitat for the 
tidewater goby. The analysis estimates post-designation costs 
associated with conservation efforts for the tidewater goby to be 
approximately $25 million (undiscounted) over the next 20 years (2007 
to 2026) as a result of the proposed revised designation of critical 
habitat. Discounted future costs are estimated to be approximately $22 
million ($1.5 million annualized) at a 3 percent discount rate or 
approximately $20 million ($1.8 million annualized) at a 7 percent 
discount rate. Potential cost savings in Unit VEN-2 associated with 
tidewater goby conservation efforts range from approximately $35 
million to $90 million (undiscounted dollars). By combining these 
savings with the estimated costs of conservation efforts, an overall 
net cost savings of approximately $10 million to $65 million 
(undiscounted) could be realized over the next 20 years. In present 
value terms, net cost savings range from approximately $9.8 million to 
$60 million (assuming a 3 percent discount rate) or approximately $9.1 
million to $54.0 million (assuming a 7 percent discount rate).
    Appendix B of the final economic analysis estimates the potential 
incremental impacts of critical habitat designation for the tidewater 
goby. It does so by attempting to isolate those direct and indirect 
impacts that are expected to be triggered specifically by the critical 
habitat designation. The incremental conservation efforts and 
associated impacts included in Appendix B would not be expected to 
occur absent the designation of critical habitat for the tidewater 
goby. Total present value potential incremental impacts are estimated 
to be $206,000 discounted at three percent. All other impacts 
quantified in the final economic analysis are considered baseline 
impacts and are not expected to be affected by the critical habitat 
designation.
    We have evaluated the potential economic impact of the revised 
designation as identified in the final economic analysis. Based on this 
evaluation, we believe that there are no disproportionate economic 
impacts resulting in the benefits of excluding an area outweighing the 
benefits of including an area.
    A copy of the final economic analyses with supporting documents are 
included in our administrative record and may be obtained by contacting 
the Ventura Fish and Wildlife Office (see ADDRESSES) or on the Internet 
at http://www.fws.gov/ventura.

Required Determinations

Regulatory Planning and Review

    In accordance with Executive Order 12866 (E.O. 12866), we evaluate 
four parameters in determining whether a rule is significant. If any 
one of the following four parameters is met, the Office of Management 
and Budget (OMB) will designate that rule as significant under E.O. 
12866:
    (a) The rule would have an annual economic effect of $100 million 
or more or adversely affect an economic sector, productivity, jobs, the 
environment, or other units of the government;
    (b) The rule would create inconsistencies with other Federal 
agencies' actions;
    (c) The rule would materially affect entitlements, grants, user 
fees, loan programs, or the rights and obligations of their recipients; 
or
    (d) The rule would raise novel legal or policy issues.
    If OMB requests to informally review a rule designating critical 
habitat for a species, we consider that rule to raise novel legal and 
policy issues. Because no other Federal agencies designate critical 
habitat, the designation of critical habitat will not create 
inconsistencies with other agencies' actions. We use the economic 
analysis of the critical habitat designation to evaluate the potential 
effects related to the other parameters of E.O. 12866 and to make a 
determination as to whether the regulation may be significant under 
parameter (a) or (c) listed above.
    Based on the economic analysis of the critical habitat designation, 
we have determined that the designation of critical habitat for 
tidewater goby will not result in an annual effect on the economy of 
$100 million or more or affect the economy in a material way. Based on 
previous critical habitat designations and the economic analysis, we 
believe this rule will not materially affect entitlements, grants, user 
fees, loan programs, or the rights and obligations of their recipients. 
OMB has requested to informally review this rule, and thus this action 
does raise novel legal or policy issues. In accordance with the 
provisions of E.O. 12866, this rule is considered significant.
    Executive Order 12866 directs Federal agencies issuing regulations 
to evaluate regulatory alternatives (Office of Management and Budget, 
Circular A-4, September 17, 2003). Under Circular A-4, once an agency 
determines that the Federal regulatory action is appropriate, the 
agency must consider alternative regulatory approaches. Because the 
determination of critical habitat is a statutory requirement under the 
Act, we must evaluate alternative regulatory approaches, where 
feasible, when issuing a designation of critical habitat.
    In developing our designations of critical habitat, we consider 
economic impacts, impacts to national security, and other relevant 
impacts under section 4(b)(2) of the Act. Based on the discretion 
allowable under this provision, we may exclude any particular area from 
the designation of critical habitat providing that the benefits of such 
exclusion outweigh the benefits of specifying the area as critical 
habitat and that such exclusion would not result in the extinction of 
the species. We believe that the evaluation of the inclusion or 
exclusion of particular areas, or a combination of both, constitutes 
our regulatory alternative analysis for designations.

[[Page 5951]]

Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.)

    Under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA; 5 U.S.C. 601 et seq., as 
amended by the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act 
(SBREFA) of 1996), whenever an agency must publish a notice of 
rulemaking for any proposed or final rule, it must prepare and make 
available for public comment a regulatory flexibility analysis that 
describes the effects of the rule on small entities (small businesses, 
small organizations, and small government jurisdictions). However, no 
regulatory flexibility analysis is required if the head of the agency 
certifies the rule will not have a significant economic impact on a 
substantial number of small entities. SBREFA amended RFA to require 
Federal agencies to provide a statement of the factual basis for 
certifying that the rule will not have a significant economic impact on 
a substantial number of small entities. In this final rule, we are 
certifying that the critical habitat designation for tidewater goby 
will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of 
small entities. The following discussion explains our rationale.
    According to the Small Business Administration (SBA), small 
entities include small organizations, such as independent nonprofit 
organizations; small governmental jurisdictions, including school 
boards and city and town governments that serve fewer than 50,000 
residents; as well as small businesses. Small businesses include 
manufacturing and mining concerns with fewer than 500 employees, 
wholesale trade entities with fewer than 100 employees, retail and 
service businesses with less than $5 million in annual sales, general 
and heavy construction businesses with less than $27.5 million in 
annual business, special trade contractors doing less than $11.5 
million in annual business, and agricultural businesses with annual 
sales less than $750,000. To determine if potential economic impacts to 
these small entities are significant, we consider the types of 
activities that might trigger regulatory impacts under this rule, as 
well as the types of project modifications that may result. In general, 
the term ``significant economic impact'' is meant to apply to a typical 
small business firm's business operations.
    To determine if the rule could significantly affect a substantial 
number of small entities, we consider the number of small entities 
affected within particular types of economic activities (e.g., grazing, 
oil and gas production, transportation). We apply the ``substantial 
number'' test individually to each industry to determine if 
certification is appropriate. However, the SBREFA does not explicitly 
define ``substantial number'' or ``significant economic impact.'' 
Consequently, to assess whether a ``substantial number'' of small 
entities is affected by this designation, this analysis considers the 
relative number of small entities likely to be impacted in an area. In 
some circumstances, especially with critical habitat designations of 
limited extent, we may aggregate across all industries and consider 
whether the total number of small entities affected is substantial. In 
estimating the number of small entities potentially affected, we also 
consider whether their activities have any Federal involvement.
    Designation of critical habitat only affects activities conducted, 
funded, or permitted by Federal agencies. Some kinds of activities are 
unlikely to have any Federal involvement and so will not be affected by 
critical habitat designation. In areas where the species is present, 
Federal agencies already are required to consult with us under section 
7 of the Act on activities they fund, permit, or implement that may 
affect the tidewater goby (see Section 7 Consultation section). Federal 
agencies also must consult with us if their activities may affect 
critical habitat. Designation of critical habitat, therefore, could 
result in an additional economic impact on small entities due to the 
requirement to reinitiate consultation for ongoing Federal activities 
(see Application of the ``Adverse Modification'' Standard section).
    The economic analysis of the revised critical habitat designation 
examined the potential for goby conservation efforts to affect small 
business entities. This analysis was based on the estimated impacts 
associated with the proposed designation of critical habitat, and 
evaluated the potential for economic impacts related to: Water 
management, grazing, transportation, natural resource management, and 
oil and gas pipeline construction and maintenance. Based on the results 
of the analysis, incremental impacts are associated with additional 
administrative costs of section 7 consultations in water management, 
transportation, natural resource management, and oil and gas pipeline 
construction and maintenance. No additional project modification costs 
are expected to result from this designation. All impacts quantified in 
our economic analysis, other than the incremental portion of 
administrative costs, are forecast to occur regardless of critical 
habitat designation for the tidewater goby.
    Additional administrative costs resulting from this designation are 
expected to be borne by various public agencies, including the Service, 
the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, California State departments, and 
various California city and county governments; however, none of these 
qualify as small entities.\1\ Del Norte County, which is the only 
county containing proposed critical habitat that qualifies as a small 
entity, is not expected to bear any incremental impacts of goby 
conservation from the critical habitat designation. Therefore, this 
analysis does not anticipate any impacts to small entities.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ Section 601(5) of the RFA defines small governmental 
jurisdictions as governments of cities, counties, towns, townships, 
villages, school districts, or special districts with a population 
of less than 50,000.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In summary, we have considered whether this would result in a 
significant economic effect on a substantial number of small entities. 
For the above reasons and based on currently available information, we 
certify that this rule will not have a significant economic impact on a 
substantial number of small entities. Therefore, a regulatory 
flexibility analysis is not required.

Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act (5 U.S.C. 801 et 
seq.)

    Under SBREFA, this rule is not a major rule. Our detailed 
assessment of the economic effects of this designation is described in 
the economic analysis. Based on the effects identified in the economic 
analysis, we believe that this rule will not have an annual effect on 
the economy of $100 million or more, will not cause a major increase in 
costs or prices for consumers, and will not have significant adverse 
effects on competition, employment, investment, productivity, 
innovation, or the ability of U.S.-based enterprises to compete with 
foreign-based enterprises. Refer to the final economic analysis for a 
discussion of the effects of this determination. (see ADDRESSES for 
information on obtaining a copy of the final economic analysis).

Executive Order 13211 (Energy Supply, Distribution, or Use)

    On May 18, 2001, the President issued an Executive Order (E.O. 
13211; ``Actions Concerning Regulations That Significantly Affect 
Energy Supply, Distribution, or Use'') on regulations that 
significantly affect energy supply, distribution, and use. E.O. 13211 
requires agencies to prepare Statements

[[Page 5952]]

of Energy Effects when undertaking certain actions. OMB has provided 
guidance for implementing this Executive Order that outlines nine 
outcomes that may constitute ``a significant adverse effect'' when 
compared without the regulatory action under consideration. The final 
economic analysis finds that none of these criteria are relevant to 
this analysis. Thus, based on information in the economic analysis, 
energy-related impacts associated with tidewater goby conservation 
activities within the final critical habitat designation are not 
expected. Therefore, this action is not a significant energy action and 
no Statement of Energy Effects is required.

Unfunded Mandates Reform Act (2 U.S.C. 1501 et seq.)

    In accordance with the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act (2 U.S.C. 1501 
et seq.), we make the following findings:
    (a) This rule will not produce a Federal mandate. In general, a 
Federal mandate is a provision in legislation, statute, or regulation 
that would impose an enforceable duty upon State, local, or tribal 
governments, or the private sector and includes both ``Federal 
intergovernmental mandates'' and ``Federal private sector mandates.'' 
These terms are defined in 2 U.S.C. 658(5)-(7). ``Federal 
intergovernmental mandate'' includes a regulation that ``would impose 
an enforceable duty upon State, local, or tribal governments'' with two 
exceptions. It excludes ``a condition of Federal assistance.'' It also 
excludes ``a duty arising from participation in a voluntary Federal 
program,'' unless the regulation ``relates to a then-existing Federal 
program under which $500,000,000 or more is provided annually to State, 
local, and tribal governments under entitlement authority,'' if the 
provision would ``increase the stringency of conditions of assistance'' 
or ``place caps upon, or otherwise decrease, the Federal Government's 
responsibility to provide funding'' and the State, local, or tribal 
governments ``lack authority'' to adjust accordingly. At the time of 
enactment, these entitlement programs were: Medicaid; AFDC work 
programs; Child Nutrition; Food Stamps; Social Services Block Grants; 
Vocational Rehabilitation State Grants; Foster Care, Adoption 
Assistance, and Independent Living; Family Support Welfare Services; 
and Child Support Enforcement. ``Federal private sector mandate'' 
includes a regulation that ``would impose an enforceable duty upon the 
private sector, except (i) a condition of Federal assistance or (ii) a 
duty arising from participation in a voluntary Federal program.''
    The designation of critical habitat does not impose a legally 
binding duty on non-Federal Government entities or private parties. 
Under the Act, the only regulatory effect is that Federal agencies must 
ensure that their actions do not destroy or adversely modify critical 
habitat under section 7. While non-Federal entities that receive 
Federal funding, assistance, or permits, or that otherwise require 
approval or authorization from a Federal agency for an action may be 
indirectly impacted by the designation of critical habitat, the legally 
binding duty to avoid destruction or adverse modification of critical 
habitat rests squarely on the Federal agency. Furthermore, to the 
extent that non-Federal entities are indirectly impacted because they 
receive Federal assistance or participate in a voluntary Federal aid 
program, the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act would not apply; nor would 
critical habitat shift the costs of the large entitlement programs 
listed above on to State governments.
    (b) As discussed in the draft economic analysis of the proposed 
revised designation of critical habitat for the tidewater goby, the 
impacts on water management activities to Del Norte County are 
estimated to be $4,000 per year. Del Norte County had annual gross 
revenues of $51 million in 2004. Therefore impacts to Del Norte County 
for water management are expected to be less than 0.01 percent of 
yearly gross revenues. Consequently, we do not believe that the 
designation of critical habitat for the tidewater goby would 
significantly or uniquely affect any small governmental entities, and 
the designation of critical habitat imposes no obligations on State or 
local governments. As such, a Small Government Agency Plan is not 
required.

Takings

    In accordance with Executive Order 12630 (``Government Actions and 
Interference with Constitutionally Protected Private Property 
Rights''), we have analyzed the potential takings implications of 
designating critical habitat for the tidewater goby in a takings 
implication assessment. The takings implications assessment concludes 
that this final designation of critical habitat for the tidewater goby 
does not pose significant takings implications for lands within or 
affected by the designation.

Federalism

    In accordance with E.O. 13132 (Federalism), the rule does not have 
significant Federalism effects. A Federalism assessment is not 
required. In keeping with Department of Interior and Department of 
Commerce policy, we requested information from, and coordinated 
development of, this final critical habitat designation with 
appropriate State resource agencies and local jurisdictions. We 
received comments from the CDFG and 2 local governments; those comments 
and our responses are included in the Summary of Comments and 
Recommendations section of this final rule. The designation may have 
some benefit to these governments in that the areas containing the 
physical and biological features essential to the conservation of the 
species are more clearly defined, and the PCEs of the habitat essential 
to the conservation of the species are specifically identified. This 
information does not alter where and what federally sponsored 
activities may occur. However, it may assist these local governments in 
long-range planning (rather than having them wait for case-by-case 
section 7 consultations to occur).
    Where State and local governments require approval or authorization 
from a Federal agency for actions that may affect critical habitat, 
consultation under Sec.  7(a)(2) would be required. While non-Federal 
entities that receive Federal funding, assistance, or permits, or that 
otherwise require approval or authorization from a Federal agency for 
an action, may be indirectly impacted by the designation of critical 
habitat, the legally binding duty to avoid destruction or adverse 
modification of critical habitat rests squarely on the Federal agency.

Civil Justice Reform

    In accordance with E.O. 12988 (Civil Justice Reform), the Office of 
the Solicitor has determined that the rule does not unduly burden the 
judicial system and that it meets the requirements of sections 3(a) and 
3(b)(2) of the Order. We are designating critical habitat in accordance 
with the provisions of the Endangered Species Act. This final rule uses 
standard property descriptions and identifies the PCEs within the 
designated areas to assist the public in understanding the habitat 
needs of the tidewater goby.

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.)

    This rule does not contain any new collections of information that 
require

[[Page 5953]]

approval by OMB under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 
3501 et seq.). This rule will not impose recordkeeping or reporting 
requirements on State or local governments, individuals, businesses, or 
organizations. An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is 
not required to respond to, a collection of information unless it 
displays a currently valid OMB control number.

National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA)

    It is our position that, outside the jurisdiction of the Circuit 
Court of the United States for the Tenth Circuit, we do not need to 
prepare environmental analyses as defined by the NEPA (42 U.S.C. 4321 
et seq.) in connection with designating critical habitat under the Act. 
We published a notice outlining our reasons for this determination in 
the Federal Register on October 25, 1983 (48 FR 49244). This assertion 
was upheld by the Circuit Court of the United States for the Ninth 
Circuit (Douglas County v. Babbitt, 48 F.3d 1495 (9th Cir. 1995), cert. 
denied 516 U.S. 1042 (1996)).

Government-to-Government Relationship With Tribes

    In accordance with the President's memorandum of April 29, 1994, 
``Government-to-Government Relations with Native American Tribal 
Governments'' (59 FR 22951), E.O.13175, and the Department of the 
Interior's manual at 512 DM 2, we readily acknowledge our 
responsibility to communicate meaningfully with recognized Federal 
Tribes on a government-to-government basis. In accordance with 
Secretarial Order 3206 of June 5, 1997, ``American Indian Tribal 
Rights, Federal-Tribal Trust Responsibilities, and the Endangered 
Species Act,'' we readily acknowledge our responsibilities to work 
directly with tribes in developing programs for healthy ecosystems, to 
acknowledge that tribal lands are not subject to the same controls as 
Federal public lands, to remain sensitive to Indian culture, and to 
make information available to tribes. We have determined that there are 
no Tribal lands that meet the definition of critical habitat for the 
tidewater goby. Therefore, no critical habitat for the tidewater goby 
has been designated on Tribal lands.

    Tidewater goby (Eucyclogobius newberryi)
    (1) Critical habitat units are depicted for Del Norte, Humboldt, 
Mendocino, Sonoma, Marin, San Mateo, Santa Cruz, Monterey, San Luis 
Obispo, Santa Barbara, Ventura, and Los Angeles Counties, California, 
on the maps below.
    (2) The primary constituent elements of critical habitat for the 
tidewater goby are the habitat components that provide:
    (i) Persistent, shallow (in the range of about 0.1 to 2 m), still-
to-slow-moving aquatic habitat most commonly ranging in salinity from 
less than 0.5 ppt to about 10 to 12 ppt;
    (ii) Substrates (e.g., sand, silt, mud) suitable for the 
construction of burrows for reproduction;
    (iii) Submerged and emergent aquatic vegetation, such as 
Potamogeton pectinatus and Ruppia maritima, that provides protection 
from predators; and
    (iv) Presence of a sandbar(s) across the mouth of a lagoon or 
estuary during the late spring, summer, and fall that closes or 
partially closes the lagoon or estuary, thereby providing relatively 
stable water levels and salinity.
    (3) Critical habitat does not include man-made structures (such as 
buildings, aqueducts, airports, and roads, and the land on which such 
structures are located) existing on the effective date of this rule and 
not containing one or more of the PCEs.
    (4) Critical habitat map units. Boundaries of critical habitat were 
defined for most units using National Wetlands Inventory (NWI) data 
(both published data available over the internet and in-publication 
provisional data). Where NWI data was lacking, unit boundaries were 
digitized directly on imagery from the Department of Agriculture's 
National Aerial Imagery Program data (NAIP) acquired in 2005. NAIP and 
NWI data were projected to Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM), zones 
10 and 11, on the North American Datum of 1983.
