50 CFR Part 17 

RIN 1018–AU81 

Endangered and Threatened Wildlife 

and Plants; Revised Critical Habitat for 

the Tidewater Goby (Eucyclogobius 

newberryi) 

AGENCY: Fish and Wildlife Service, 

Interior. 

ACTION: Proposed rule. 

SUMMARY: We, the U.S. Fish and 

Wildlife Service (Service), propose to 

revise currently designated critical 

habitat for the tidewater goby 

(Eucyclogobius newberryi) under the 

Endangered Species Act of 1973, as 

amended (Act). We originally 

designated critical habitat for the 

tidewater goby on November 20, 2000 

(65 FR 69693). We are proposing to 

revise the critical habitat for the 

tidewater goby to a total of 

approximately 10,003 acres (ac) (4,050 

hectares (ha)). This is an increase of 

approximately 8,422 ac (3,408 ha) from 

the currently designated critical habitat. 

In the previous 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 

proposed 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: We will accept comments from 

all interested parties until January 29, 

2007. We must receive requests for 

public hearings, in writing, at the 

address shown in the ADDRESSES section 

by January 12, 2007.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Public Comments Solicited 

We intend that any final action 

resulting from this proposal will be as 

accurate and as effective as possible. 

Therefore, comments or suggestions 

from the public, other concerned 

governmental agencies, the scientific 

community, industry, or any other 

interested party concerning this 

proposed rule are hereby solicited. 

Comments particularly are sought 

concerning the following issues. 

(1) The reasons any habitat should or 

should not be determined to be critical 

habitat as provided by section 4 of the 

Act (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.), including 

whether the benefit of designation will 

outweigh any threats to the species due 

to designation; 

(2) Specific information on the 

amount and distribution of tidewater 

goby habitat, what areas should be 

included in the designation that were 

occupied at the time of listing that 

contain the features that are essential for 

the conservation of the species and why, 

and what areas not occupied at the time 

of listing are essential to the 

conservation of the species and why; 

(3) Land use designations and current 

or planned activities in the subject areas 

and their possible impacts on proposed 

revised critical habitat; 

(4) Any foreseeable economic, 

national security, or other potential 

impacts resulting from the proposed 

revision of critical habitat and, in 

particular, any impacts on small 

entities; 

(5) Whether our approach to 

designating critical habitat could be 

improved or modified in any way to 

provide for greater public participation 

and understanding, or to assist us in 

accommodating public concerns and 

comments; 

(6) Whether our general approach to 

determine which localities to include in 

proposed critical habitat (44 of the 112 

localities that are currently occupied by 

tidewater gobies) could be improved or 

modified; 

(7) Specifically with reference to 

those State Park lands under the 

jurisdiction of the California 

Department of Parks and Recreation 

(CDPR) that are proposed for 

designation, information on any areas 

covered by conservation or management 

plans that we should consider for 

exclusion from the designation under 

section 4(b)(2) of the Act; 

(8) Any additional proposed critical 

habitat areas covered by conservation or 

management plans that we should 

consider for exclusion from the 

designation under section 4(b)(2) of the 

Act. We specifically request any 

information on any operative or draft 

habitat conservation plans for the 

tidewater goby that have been prepared 

under section 10(a)(1)(B) of the Act, or 

any other management or other 

conservation plan or agreement that 

benefits the goby or its primary 

constituent elements; and 

(9) Any information concerning Tribal 

lands or trust resources that may be 

impacted by this proposed revision to 

critical habitat.

Our practice is to make comments, 

including names and home addresses of 

respondents, available for public review 

during regular business hours. 

Individual respondents may request that 

we withhold their names and/or home 

addresses, etc., but if you wish us to 

consider withholding this information 

you must state this prominently at the 

beginning of your comments. In 

addition, you must present rationale for 

withholding this information. This 

rationale must demonstrate that 

disclosure would constitute a clearly 

unwarranted invasion of privacy. 

Unsupported assertions will not meet 

this burden. In the absence of 

exceptional, documentable 

circumstances, this information will be 

released. We will always make 

submissions from organizations or 

businesses, and from individuals 

identifying themselves as 

representatives of or officials of 

organizations or businesses, available 

for public inspection in their entirety. 

Role of Critical Habitat in Actual 

Practice of Administering and 

Implementing the Act 

Attention to and protection of habitat 

is paramount to successful conservation 

actions. The role that designation of 

critical habitat plays in protecting 

habitat of listed species, however, is 

often misunderstood. As discussed in 

more detail below in the discussion of 

exclusions under section 4(b)(2) of the 

Act, there are significant limitations on 

the regulatory effect of designation 

under section 7(a)(2) of the Act. In brief, 

(1) designation provides additional 

protection to habitat only where there is 

a Federal nexus; (2) the protection is 

relevant only when, in the absence of 

designation, destruction or adverse 

modification of the critical habitat 

would in fact take place (in other words, 

other statutory or regulatory protections, 

policies, or other factors relevant to 

agency decision-making would not 

prevent the destruction or adverse 

modification); and (3) designation of 

critical habitat triggers the prohibition 

of destruction or adverse modification 

of that habitat, but it does not require 

specific actions to restore or improve 

habitat. 

Currently, only 476 species, or 36 

percent of the 1,311 listed species in the 

United States under the jurisdiction of 

the Service, have designated critical 

habitat. We address the habitat needs of 

all 1,311 listed species through 

conservation mechanisms such as 

listing, Section 7 consultations, the 

Section 4 recovery planning process, the 

Section 9 protective prohibitions of 

unauthorized take, Section 6 funding to 

the States, the Section 10 incidental take 

permit process, and cooperative, 

nonregulatory efforts with private 

landowners. The Service believes that it 

is these measures that may make the 

difference between extinction and 

survival for many species. 

In considering potential exclusions of 

critical habitat proposed in this 

revision, we will evaluate the benefits of 

designation in light of Gifford Pinchot 

Task Force v. U.S. Fish and Wildlife 

Service, 378 F.3d 1059 (9th Cir 2004) 

(hereinafter Gifford Pinchot). In that 

case, the Ninth Circuit invalidated the 

Service’s regulation defining 

‘‘destruction or adverse modification of 

critical habitat.’’ In response, on 

December 9, 2004, the Director issued 

guidance to be considered in making 

section 7 adverse modification 

determinations. This proposal to revise 

critical habitat does not use the 

invalidated regulation in our 

consideration of the benefits of 

including areas in this proposed revised 

designation. The Service will carefully 

manage future consultations that 

analyze impacts to designated critical 

habitat, particularly those that appear to 

be resulting in an adverse modification 

determination. Such consultations will 

be reviewed by the Regional Office prior 

to finalizing to ensure that an adequate 

analysis has been conducted that is 

informed by the Director’s guidance. 

On the other hand, to the extent that 

designation of critical habitat provides 

protection, that protection can come at 

significant social and economic cost. In 

addition, the mere administrative 

process of designation of critical habitat 

is expensive, time-consuming, and 

controversial. The current statutory 

framework of critical habitat, combined 

with past judicial interpretations of the 

statute, make critical habitat the subject 

of excessive litigation. As a result, 

critical habitat designations are driven 

by litigation and courts rather than 

biology, and made at a time and under 

a time frame that limits our ability to 

obtain and evaluate the scientific and 

other information required to make the 

designation most meaningful. 

In light of these circumstances, the 

Service believes that additional agency 

discretion would allow our focus to 

return to those actions that provide the 

greatest benefit to the species most in 

need of protection. 

Procedural and Resource Difficulties in 

Designating Critical Habitat 

We have been inundated with 

lawsuits for our failure to designate 

critical habitat, and we face a growing 

number of lawsuits challenging critical 

habitat determinations once they are 

made. These lawsuits have subjected the 

Service to an ever-increasing series of 

court orders and court-approved 

settlement agreements, compliance with 

which now consumes nearly the entire 

listing program budget. This leaves the 

Service with little ability to prioritize its 

activities to direct scarce listing 

resources to the listing program actions 

with the most biologically urgent 

species conservation needs. 

The consequence of the critical 

habitat litigation activity is that limited 

listing funds are used to defend active 

lawsuits, to respond to Notices of Intent 

(NOIs) to sue relative to critical habitat, 

and to comply with the growing number 

of adverse court orders. As a result, 

listing petition responses, the Service’s 

own proposals to list critically 

imperiled species, and final listing 

determinations on existing proposals are 

all significantly delayed. 

The accelerated schedules of courtordered designations have left the 

Service with limited ability to provide 

for public participation or to ensure a 

defect-free rulemaking process before 

making decisions on listing and critical 

habitat proposals, due to the risks 

associated with noncompliance with 

judicially imposed deadlines. This in 

turn fosters a second round of litigation 

in which those who fear adverse 

impacts from critical habitat 

designations challenge those 

designations. The cycle of litigation 

appears endless, and is expensive, thus 

diverting resources from conservation 

actions that may provide relatively more 

benefit to imperiled species. 

The costs resulting from the 

designation include legal costs, the cost 

of preparation and publication of the 

designation, the analysis of the 

economic effects and the cost of 

requesting and responding to public 

comment, and in some cases the costs 

of compliance with the National 

Environmental Policy Act (NEPA; 42 

U.S.C. 4321 et seq.). These costs, which 

are not required for many other 

conservation actions, directly reduce the 

funds available for direct and tangible 

conservation actions. 

Background 

It is our intent to discuss only those 

topics directly relevant to the proposal 


jlentini on PROD1PC65 with PROPOSAL2
68916 Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 228 / Tuesday, November 28, 2006 / Proposed Rules 

to revise critical habitat in this rule. For 

more information on the tidewater goby, 

refer to the final rule listing the species, 

which was published in the Federal 

Register on February 4, 1994 (59 FR 

5494), or the final rule designating 

critical habitat for the species in Orange 

and San Diego Counties, California, 

which was published in the Federal 

Register on November 20, 2000 (65 FR 

69693). 

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, 

p. 26; Swift et al. 1989, p. 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, p. 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 Pen ̃ 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, p. 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 Can ̃ 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 

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 goby’s range 

has not changed much over time, the 


jlentini on PROD1PC65 with PROPOSAL2
Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 228 / Tuesday, November 28, 2006 / Proposed Rules 68917 

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 

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 February 4, 1994, the tidewater 

goby was listed as endangered 

throughout its entire range (59 FR 5494). 

We did not designate critical habitat at 

the time we listed this species because 

we found that critical habitat for the 

tidewater goby was not then 

determinable. 

On September 18, 1998, the Natural 

Resources Defense Council, Inc., filed a 

lawsuit in Federal District Court in 

California against the United States 

Department of the Interior, et al., for 

failure to designate critical habitat for 

the tidewater goby. On April 5, 1999, 

Judge Carlos R. Moreno ordered that the 

‘‘Service publish a proposed critical 

habitat designation for the tidewater 

goby in 120 days’ (Natural Resources 

Defense Council, Inc. v. United States 


jlentini on PROD1PC65 with PROPOSAL2
68918 Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 228 / Tuesday, November 28, 2006 / Proposed Rules 

Department of the Interior et al. CV 98– 

7596 ). 

On June 24, 1999, we published a 

proposed rule 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). The Service proposed 

delisting northern populations of 

tidewater gobies because there were 

more populations in the north than were 

known at the time of listing, and it was 

believed that the threats to the northern 

populations may have been less severe 

and that the ability of tidewater gobies 

to recolonize sites may have been 

greater than previously thought. 

On August 3, 1999, we proposed 

critical habitat for the tidewater goby in 

Orange and San Diego Counties (64 FR 

42250); we did not propose critical 

habitat for this species throughout the 

rest of its geographic range in 1999 

because we believed that the tidewater 

goby populations north of Orange 

County did not warrant listing under the 

Act, and had proposed to delist the 

species north of Orange County; 

therefore there were no areas essential 

to the conservation of the tidewater 

goby north of Orange County. On 

November 20, 2000, the Service 

designated critical habitat for the 

tidewater goby in Orange and San Diego 

Counties (65 FR 69693). The critical 

habitat designation consisted of 10 

coastal stream segments that collectively 

measured 9 linear mi (14.5 km) in 

length. 

On November 7, 2002, we withdrew 

our proposal to delist the tidewater goby 

in areas north of Orange County (67 FR 

67803) based in large part on comments 

from the public, the scientific 

community, industry, and other 

concerned government agencies and 

new information, received after the 

publication of the proposed rule, that 

indicated that the reasons for delisting 

may have been in error. Therefore, the 

tidewater goby has remained listed as an 

endangered species throughout its 

historical geographic range since 1994. 

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 that designated the 10 critical 

habitat units 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 revised rules to the 

Federal Register no later than 

November 15, 2006, and November 1, 

2007, respectively. 

Critical Habitat 

Critical habitat is defined in section 3 

of the Act as—(i) 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 (I) essential to the conservation 

of the species and (II) that may require 

special management considerations or 

protection; and (ii) 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 

which are necessary to bring any 

endangered species or threatened 

species to the point at which the 

measures provided pursuant to the Act 

are no longer necessary. Such methods 

and procedures include, but are not 

limited to, all activities associated with 

scientific resources management such as 

research, census, law enforcement, 

habitat acquisition and maintenance, 

propagation, live trapping and 

transplantation, and, in the 

extraordinary case where population 

pressures within a given ecosystem 

cannot be otherwise relieved, may 

include regulated taking. 

Critical habitat receives protection 

under section 7 of the Act through the 

prohibition against destruction or 

adverse modification of critical habitat 

with regard to actions carried out, 

funded, or authorized by a Federal 

agency. Section 7 requires consultation 

on Federal actions that are likely to 

result in the destruction or adverse 

modification of 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 government 

or public access to private lands. 

Section 7 is a purely protective measure 

and does not require implementation of 

restoration, recovery, or enhancement 

measures. 

To be included in a critical habitat 

designation, the habitat within the area 

occupied by the species must first have 

features that are essential to the 

conservation of the species. Critical 

habitat designations identify, to the 

extent known using the best scientific 

data available, habitat areas that provide 

essential life cycle needs of the species 

(i.e., areas on which are found the 

primary constituent elements (PCEs), as 

defined at 50 CFR 424.12(b)). 

Habitat occupied at the time of listing 

may be included in critical habitat only 

if the essential features thereon may 

require special management 

considerations or protection. Thus, we 

do not include areas where existing 

management is sufficient to conserve 

the species. (As discussed below, such 

areas may also be excluded from critical 

habitat pursuant to section 4(b)(2)). 

Areas outside of the geographic area 

occupied by the species at the time of 

listing may only be included in critical 

habitat if they are essential for the 

conservation of the species. 

Accordingly, when the best available 

scientific data do not demonstrate that 

the conservation needs of the species 

require additional areas, we will not 

designate critical habitat in areas 

outside the geographical area occupied 

by the species at the time of listing. An 

area currently occupied by the species 

that was not known to be occupied at 

the time of listing will likely, but not 

always, be essential to the conservation 

of the species and, therefore, typically 

included in the critical habitat 

designation. 

The Service’s Policy on Information 

Standards Under the Endangered 

Species Act, published in the Federal 

Register on July 1, 1994 (59 FR 34271), 

and Section 515 of the Treasury and 

General Government Appropriations 

Act for Fiscal Year 2001 (Pub. L. 106–

554; H.R. 5658) and the associated 

Information Quality Guidelines issued 

by the Service, provide criteria, 

establish procedures, and provide 

guidance to ensure that decisions made 

by the Service represent 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 determining which areas 

are critical habitat, a primary source of 

information is generally the listing 

package for the species. Additional 

information sources include the 


jlentini on PROD1PC65 with PROPOSAL2
Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 228 / Tuesday, November 28, 2006 / Proposed Rules 68919 

recovery plan for the species, articles in 

peer-reviewed journals, conservation 

plans developed by States and counties, 

scientific status surveys and studies, 

biological assessments, or other 

unpublished materials and expert 

opinion or personal knowledge. All 

information is used in accordance with 

the provisions of Section 515 of the 

Treasury and General Government 

Appropriations Act for Fiscal Year 2001 

(Pub. L. 106–554; H.R. 5658) and the 

associated Information Quality 

Guidelines issued by the Service. 

Section 4 of the Act requires that we 

designate critical habitat on the basis of 

the best scientific data available. Habitat 

is often dynamic, and species may move 

from one area to another over time. 

Furthermore, we recognize that 

designation of critical habitat may not 

include all of the habitat areas that may 

eventually be determined to be 

necessary for the recovery of the 

species. For these reasons, critical 

habitat designations do not signal that 

habitat outside the designation is 

unimportant or may not be required for 

recovery. 

Areas that support populations, but 

are outside the critical habitat 

designation, will continue to be subject 

to conservation actions implemented 

under section 7(a)(1) of the Act and to 

the regulatory protections afforded by 

the section 7(a)(2) jeopardy standard, as 

determined on the basis of the best 

available information at the time of the 

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, or other species conservation 

planning efforts if new information 

available to these planning efforts calls 

for a different outcome. 

Methods 

As required by section 4(b)(2) of the 

Act, we use the best scientific data 

available in determining areas that 

contain the features that are essential to 

the conservation of the tidewater goby. 

The sources of data used in identifying 

critical habitat include information in 

our files regarding habitat requirements 

of this species, and the data sources 

mentioned in the published final rule 

that resulted in the designation of 

critical habitat in Orange and San Diego 

Counties (65 FR 69693). We also 

reviewed available information in 

reports submitted during section 7 

consultations and by biologists holding 

section 10(a)(1)(A) recovery permits; 

information contained within the 

recently completed and peer reviewed 

tidewater goby recovery plan (Service 

2005) that does not appear elsewhere; 

research published in peer-reviewed 

articles and presented in academic 

theses and agency reports; and regional 

Geographic Information System (GIS) 

coverages. We also solicited information 

from knowledgeable experts that have 

worked with the tidewater goby. 

Primary Constituent Elements 

In accordance with section 3(5)(A)(i) 

of the Act and regulations at 50 CFR 

424.12, in determining which areas to 

propose as critical habitat within areas 

occupied by the species at the time of 

listing, we consider those physical and 

biological features that are essential to 

the conservation of the species and that 

may require special management 

considerations or protection. These 

include, but are not limited to, space for 

individual and population growth and 

for normal behavior; food, water, air, 

light, minerals, or other nutritional or 

physiological requirements; cover or 

shelter; sites for breeding, reproduction, 

and rearing (or development) of 

offspring; and habitats that are protected 

from disturbance or are representative of 

the historical geographical and 

ecological distributions of a species. 

The specific primary constituent 

elements required for the tidewater goby 

are derived from the biological needs of 

the tidewater goby as described in the 

Background section of this proposal and 

the following text. 

Space for Individual and Population 

Growth and for 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 10–12 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. 

Water Depth, Velocity, and Temperature 

Tidewater gobies are most commonly 

collected in water less than 6 ft (2 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 (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). 


jlentini on PROD1PC65 with PROPOSAL2
68920 Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 228 / Tuesday, November 28, 2006 / Proposed Rules 

Because the number of eggs produced 

per female increases as female size 

increases (Swift et al. 1989, p. 9), it is 

likely that females in the backwater 

marshes can produce a proportionally 

greater number of young fry that allow 

a population to persist. 

Tidewater gobies have been 

documented in habitats with water 

temperatures that range from 46 to 77 

degrees F (8 to 25 degrees C) (Irwin and 

Soltz 1984, Tables 3 and 4; Swift et al. 

1989, p. 1). 

Freshwater Habitat 

Tidewater gobies also occur in 

freshwater streams upgradient 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 mi (2.6 to 11.7 km) upstream 

from the ocean environment (Irwin and 

Soltz 1984, p. 27; Swift et al. 1997, p. 

20; Chamberlain and Goldsmith 2006, p. 

1). 

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 within a 2-hour period 

suggests that freshwater tributaries in 

some riverine systems provide 

important space 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 1.6–2.0 mi (2.6–3.3 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, 

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). Although the reasons for the 

variation in up-stream movement 

between one locality and another have 

not been determined, salinity is likely 

an important factor. Upstream salinity 

levels may vary with time of year, tidal 

cycles, storm events, and topography. 

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 

upgradient 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 


jlentini on PROD1PC65 with PROPOSAL2
Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 228 / Tuesday, November 28, 2006 / Proposed Rules 68921 

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 in. (73 cm) deep water vs. 17 in. 

(42 cm) deep water. 

Primary Constituent Elements for the 

Tidewater Goby 

Pursuant to our regulations, we are 

required to identify the known physical 

and biological features (PCEs) essential 

to the conservation of the tidewater 

goby. All of the areas proposed as 

revised critical habitat for the tidewater 

goby are within the species’ historical 

geographic range and contain sufficient 

PCEs to support at least one life history 

function. 

Based on our current knowledge of 

the life history, biology, and ecology of 

the tidewater goby and the requirements 

of the habitat to sustain the essential life 

history functions of this species, we 

have determined that the PCEs for the 

tidewater goby are: 

(1) Persistent, shallow (in the range of 

about 0.1–2 m), still-to-slow-moving, 

aquatic habitat most commonly ranging 

in salinity from less than 0.5 ppt to 

about 10–12 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 and Ruppia maritima, 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. 

Although the previous rule included 

a PCE on the prey species the tidewater 

goby may use as food, tidewater gobies 

are generalists and prey on a wide 

diversity of invertebrate species that are 

readily available wherever gobies occur. 

Therefore, we have not included prey as 

a PCE in this revised rule. 

This proposed revised designation is 

designed for the conservation of areas 

supporting PCEs that exist at coastal 

lagoons, estuaries, backwater marshes, 

and associated freshwater tributaries, 

and that are necessary to support the life 

history functions which were the basis 

for the proposal. Because not all life 

history functions require all the PCEs, 

not all proposed revised critical habitat 

will contain all the PCEs. The presence 

of PCE 4 at a given location will, in 

general, only be applicable to locations 

where a sandbar forms due to natural 

processes. 

Units are proposed for revised 

designation based on sufficient PCEs 

being present to support the life 

processes of the species. Some lands 

contain all PCEs and support multiple 

life processes. Some lands contain only 

a portion of the PCEs necessary to 

support the particular use of that 

habitat. 

Criteria Used To Identify Critical 

Habitat 

As required by section 4(b)(1)(A) of 

the Act, we use the best scientific data 

and information available in 

determining areas that contain the 

features that are essential to the 

conservation and habitat requirements 

of the tidewater goby. These include 

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 that does not appear 

elsewhere; and regional Geographic 

Information System (GIS) coverages. We 

also solicited information from 

knowledgeable biologists that have 

worked with the tidewater goby. 

The process we use in this proposed 

rule 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. Based on this 

assessment, we developed criteria for 

identifying critical habitat units (see 

below). By applying these criteria to the 

112 localities known to be currently 

occupied by gobies, we identified 44 (39 

percent) that we are proposing to 

designate as revised critical habitat. In 

general, we are proposing these 44 units 

as critical habitat because they support 

the conservation of the species in that 

these units are representative of the 

distribution of the goby occupied at the 

time of listing; some units are occupied 

by source populations, such that they 

support other habitats with gobies; and 

proposed units reflect the diversity of 

the species and its habitats which it 

currently occupies. In this rule, we have 

also attempted to describe, in a more 

explicit manner, the features that we use 

to determine the lateral and upstream 

extent of the critical habitat unit 

boundaries. 

The criteria for identifying critical 

habitat units include: 

(a) Areas known to be 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 two papers on 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 goby; 

(b) Areas that are currently occupied 

but were not known to be occupied at 

the time of listing that 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 

known to be occupied at the time of 

listing including those with unique 

ecological characteristics (e.g., large 

open bays in Humboldt County vs. 

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 continued 

existence of viable metapopulations (as 

defined in the ‘‘Background’’ section) 

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. 

No areas that are currently 

unoccupied were found to be essential 

to the conservation of the species. 

For the purposes of this proposed 

rule, we assume that source populations 

are those where tidewater gobies have 

been observed or collected on a regular 

basis, and therefore are more likely to 

provide the individuals that disperse 

and recolonize localities where the 

species periodically disappears. 

Locations that provide connectivity 

between source populations are those 

locations that exist between source 

populations that are likely to act as 


jlentini on PROD1PC65 with PROPOSAL2
68922 Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 228 / Tuesday, November 28, 2006 / Proposed Rules 

‘‘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 vs. large habitats that 

occur in areas with abundant rainfall). 

Genetic or morphological 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. For additional information on any 

of the above definitions, please refer 

back to the ‘‘Background’’ section in this 

proposed rule. 

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 locations 

that are important 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). 

After determining the occupied 

localities necessary for the conservation 

of the tidewater goby by applying 

criteria ‘‘a’’ through ‘‘d’’ above, the 

boundary of each critical habitat unit 

was mapped. Unit boundaries were 

based on several factors including 

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 proposed 

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 PCE’s 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 proposed 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 upgradient 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 

PCE’s were still present above it. 

When determining proposed revised 

critical habitat boundaries, we made 

every effort to avoid including within 

the boundaries of the map contained 

within this proposed rule developed 

areas such as buildings, paved areas, 

and other structures that lack PCEs for 

the tidewater goby. The scale of the 

maps prepared under the parameters for 

publication within the Code of Federal 

Regulations may not reflect the 

exclusion of such developed areas. Any 

such structures and the land under them 

inadvertently left inside critical habitat 

boundaries shown on the maps of this 

proposed rule have been excluded by 

text in the proposed rule and are not 

proposed for designation as revised 

critical habitat. Therefore, Federal 

actions limited to these areas would not 

trigger section 7 consultation, unless 

they may affect the species or primary 

constituent elements in adjacent critical 

habitat. 

We are proposing to designate critical 

habitat in areas that we have determined 

were occupied at the time of listing or 

are currently occupied, and that contain 

sufficient PCEs to support life history 

functions essential for the conservation 

of the species. Lands are proposed for 

designation based on sufficient PCEs 

being present to support the life 

processes of the species. Lands are 

proposed for designation based on 

sufficient PCEs being present to support 

life processes of the species. Some lands 

contain all PCEs and support multiple 

life processes. Some lands contain only 

a portion of the PCEs necessary to 

support the particular use of that 

habitat. 

Section 10(a)(1)(B) of the Act 

authorizes us to issue permits for the 

take of listed species incidental to 

otherwise lawful activities. An 

incidental take permit application must 

be supported by a habitat conservation 

plan (HCP) that identifies conservation 

measures that the permittee agrees to 

implement for the species to minimize 

and mitigate the impacts of the 

requested incidental take. We often 

exclude non-Federal public lands and 

private lands that are covered by an 

existing operative HCP and executed 


jlentini on PROD1PC65 with PROPOSAL2
Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 228 / Tuesday, November 28, 2006 / Proposed Rules 68923 

implementation agreement (IA) under 

section 10(a)(1)(B) of the Act from 

designated critical habitat because the 

benefits of exclusion outweigh the 

benefits of inclusion as discussed in 

section 4(b)(2) of the Act. There are no 

existing operative HCPs or draft HCPs 

that meet our issuance criteria and have 

been released for public notice and 

comment within the areas proposed for 

designation as critical habitat. 

Special Management Considerations or 

Protection 

When designating critical habitat, we 

assess whether the areas determined to 

be occupied at the time of listing 

support PCEs 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; (4) channelization of 

habitats 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, 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’’ into one 

threat category called ‘‘water diversions, 

alterations of water flows, and 

groundwater overdrafting upstream of 

coastal lagoons and estuaries 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 threat 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 proposing for 

designation 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 known threats that may 

require special management 

considerations or protection for the 

PCEs within each of the proposed 

critical habitat units (see Proposed 

Revised Critical Habitat Designation 

below). 

Summary of Changes From Previously 

Designated Critical Habitat 

The areas identified in this proposed 

rule constitute a proposed revision from 

the areas we designated as critical 

habitat for the tidewater goby in 2000 

(65 FR 69693). The main reasons for the 

differences include: 

(1) Prior to designating critical habitat 

for the tidewater goby in 2000, we 

published a proposed rule 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). 

Therefore, when we published the 2000 

critical habitat final rule, we believed 

that tidewater goby populations north of 

Orange County did not warrant listing 

under the Act and that, therefore, there 

were no areas essential to the 

conservation of the tidewater goby north 

of Orange County. However, we 

withdrew the proposed rule to delist the 

goby north of Orange County in 2002, 

based on comments received from the 

public, the scientific community, 

industry, and other concerned 

government agencies, and based on new 

information received after the 

publication of the proposed rule; all of 

this information indicated that the 

reasons for delisting may have been in 

error. Therefore, we are now proposing 

to revise the designated critical habitat 

to include habitat throughout the range 

of the goby at the time of listing. 

(2) We are proposing to remove Aliso 

Creek in Orange County. In addition, we 

are not including in this proposed 

designation one area vacated by the 

court, Agua Hedionda Lagoon in San 

Diego County. Both of these units were 

included in the 2000 designation. These 

two areas have not been occupied for 

many years and were not occupied at 

the time of listing (the last tidewater 

goby specimen from Aliso Creek was 

collected in 1976 and the last tidewater 

goby specimen from Agua Hedionda 

Lagoon was collected in 1940 (Swift et 

al. 1989, p. 19)). As noted in (1) above, 

in the 2000 designation we only 

addressed critical habitat for the 

tidewater goby in Orange and San Diego 

Counties. However, in this proposed 

revised designation, we have considered 

the entire range of the species at the 

time of listing, which not only includes 

Orange and San Diego Counties but also 

12 counties to the north. All the areas 

we have proposed in this revised 

designation are occupied, and several 

are known to have large populations. As 

noted in (4) below, we also considered 

those areas on Marine Corps Base Camp 

Pendleton (Base) in San Diego County 

that are occupied by tidewater gobies. 

The occupied localities on the Base are 

between Aliso Creek to the north and 

Agua Hedionda Lagoon to the south. 

However, we did not include these areas 

in this revised proposal because they are 

protected through the Base’s Integrated 

Natural Resource Management Plan 

(INRMP). Because we are now 

proposing to designate critical habitat in 

many more areas than were included in 

the 2000 designation, all of which are 

occupied, and because those occupied 

areas on the Base are protected under 

the Base’s INRMP, we no longer 

consider the two unoccupied areas 

above as being essential to the 

conservation of the species and we do 

not expect to see recolonization of these 

areas. In addition, we now believe that 

there are sufficient occupied areas in 

Orange and San Diego counties to 

support the natural pattern of local 

extinctions and recolonizations. 

(3) We are proposing revised PCEs 

based on new information. The 2000 

critical habitat rule did not explicitly 

recognize the importance of backwater 

marshes or freshwater tributaries. 

However, there are multiple documents 

that suggest these habitat types are 

features essential to the conservation of 

the tidewater goby (e.g., Swenson 1993, 

pp. 6–7; Swift et al. 1997, p. 20; Smith 

2004). Also, the 2000 rule suggested 


jlentini on PROD1PC65 with PROPOSAL2
68924 Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 228 / Tuesday, November 28, 2006 / Proposed Rules 

critical habitat may not occur at 

locations where exotic fish species are 

present. From a practical standpoint, 

most aquatic habitats along the coast of 

California possess at least one exotic 

(i.e., nonnative) fish species, and the 

mere presence of these species does not 

preclude the presence of tidewater 

gobies (e.g., Wang 1984, pp. 8–9; Swift 

et al. 1997, p. 23) or habitat that 

contains the features essential for the 

conservation of the listed fish species. 

The 2000 rule included a PCE that 

specifically highlighted the importance 

of a diversity of prey species the 

tidewater goby may use as food. Because 

the tidewater goby are known to eat a 

relatively large diversity of invertebrate 

species (Irwin and Soltz 1984, pp. 21–

23; Swift et al. 1989, p. 6; Swenson 

1995, p. 87), we have chosen to not 

include a PCE in this proposed rule that 

highlights the importance of prey 

species. We have adopted this approach 

because we believe that, except in 

extenuating circumstances (e.g., a toxic 

waste spill that only affects aquatic 

invertebrate species), these invertebrates 

will be present if other PCEs (e.g., 

persistent, shallow aquatic habitat) are 

present. 

(4) In the 2000 rule, eight units were 

designated as critical habitat on Marine 

Corps Base Camp Pendleton (Base) in 

San Diego County. The Base is the only 

area south of Los Angeles where goby 

localities occur, and that was occupied 

the time of listing and is still occupied. 

In 2001, the Marine Corps completed an 

Integrated Natural Resource 

Management Plan (INRMP) for the Base 

per the Sikes Act, as amended (16 

U.S.C. 670a). 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. In this 

proposed rule, we have determined that 

conservation efforts identified in the 

INRMP for the Base provide a benefit to 

the tidewater goby occurring in habitats 

within or adjacent to the Base. As a 

result, pursuant to section 4(a)(3) of the 

Act, we have not included 

approximately 838 ac (340 ha) of habitat 

on the Base in this proposed revision to 

the critical habitat designation 

Proposed Revision to the Critical 

Habitat Designation 

We are proposing 44 units as critical 

habitat for the tidewater goby 

distributed along a large portion of the 

coast of California. These units, which 

do not correspond to those units in the 

2000 designation, if finalized, would 

entirely replace the current critical 

habitat designation for the tidewater 

goby in 50 CFR 17.95(e). The 44 areas 

proposed as revised 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. Based on 

information available to us, we are 

proposing to include 10,003 ac (4,050 

ha) in our revised critical habitat for the 

goby. If no changes are made between 

this proposed rule and the final rule, 

this would mean that our final revised 

designation would increase the 

currently designated critical habitat for 

tidewater gobies by approximately 8,422 

ac (3,408 ha). We considered an 

additional 1,594 ac (645 ha) that 

constituted the 10 critical habitat units 

in the previous designation from 2000, 

but are now proposing to remove them 

from designated critical habitat because 

eight of the areas are on the Marine Corp 

Base Camp Pendleton and qualify for 

exemption from designation under 

section 4(a)(3) of the Act and the other 

two areas have not been occupied since 

before the time of listing and are no 

longer considered essential to the 

conservation of the species. The area 

now proposed for designation consists 

of 11 percent Federal land, 72 percent 

State land, 2 percent local land, and 15 

percent private land. The proposed 

revised critical habitat areas described 

below constitute our best assessment at 

this time of areas determined to be 

occupied at the time of listing, 

containing the PCEs that may require 

special management considerations or 

protection, and those additional areas 

that were not occupied at the time of 

listing but are currently occupied and 

were found to be essential to the 

conservation of the tidewater goby. 

Table 1 below identifies the 

approximate area of locations 

determined to meet the definition of 

critical habitat for the tidewater goby, 

but which we have found to be exempt 

from proposed critical habitat under 

section 4(a)(3) of the Act.

1 Codes to known threats to tidewater goby PCE’s that may require special management are as follows: 

1. Coastal development projects that result in the loss or alteration of coastal wetland habitat affecting PCE 1, 2, 3, and 4. 

2. Water diversions, alterations of water flows, and groundwater overdrafting upstream of coastal lagoons and estuaries that negatively impact 

the species’ breeding and foraging activities and PCE 1, 2, and 3. 

3. Channelization of habitats where the species occurs affecting PCE 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 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 undercut banks utilized by tidewater gobies affecting PCE 1. 

We present brief descriptions for each 

proposed critical habitat unit below and 

provide one or more reasons why each 

unit meets the definition of critical 

habitat. The first two or three letters in 

the code for each proposed critical 

habitat unit description reflects the 

county where the unit occurs: DN = Del 

Norte, HUM = Humboldt, LA = Los 

Angeles, MAR = Marin, MEN = 

Mendocino, MON = 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, 

with the most northerly unit being 


jlentini on PROD1PC65 with PROPOSAL2
68926 Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 228 / Tuesday, November 28, 2006 / Proposed Rules 

described first and the most southerly 

unit being described last. 

All of the proposed critical habitat 

units, which follow below, for the 

tidewater goby contain the following 

PCEs: Persistent, shallow (in the range 

of about 0.1–2 m), still-to-slow-moving, 

aquatic habitat most commonly ranging 

in salinity from less than 0.5 ppt to 

about 10–12 ppt (PCE 1); substrates (e.g., 

sand, silt, mud) suitable for the 

construction of burrows for 

reproduction (PCE 2); and submerged 

and emergent aquatic vegetation, such 

as Potamogeton pectinatus and Ruppia 

maritima, that provides protection from 

predators (PCE 3). In the unit 

descriptions below, we provide an 

assessment indicating if PCE 4 is 

present within the unit boundary (i.e., 

the 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). 

For the purposes of this document, 

local ownership refers to land that is 

owned or managed by a city, county, or 

municipal government entity. 

DN–1, Lake Earl/Lake Tolowa (2,682 ac 

(1,085 ha)) 

This unit is located about 3 mi (4.8 

km) north of the town of Crescent City, 

and is about 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 Stateowned 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 proposed 

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 proposed as critical 

habitat), by 7.3 mi (11.8 km). Because 

DN–1 has been consistently occupied 

over time, it is considered likely a 

source population for this region. This 

proposed critical habitat unit provides 

habitat for a tidewater goby population 

that is genetically distinct (Dawson et al. 

2001, p. 1172) and is important to 

maintaining the overall genetic diversity 

of the species. It likely provides 

demographic and genetic support 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 that 

are 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 

feet deep to more than 10 feet 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 

are found throughout DN–1 on a shortterm but variable time scale in response 

to the dynamic variability of the habitat 

itself. DN–1 is important to the 

conservation of the species because it is 

the northernmost area within the range 

of the tidewater goby that we are 

proposing for critical habitat 

designation, and therefore reflects an 

important aspect of the historical 

geographical distribution of the species. 

This unit is also important to the 

conservation of the species because it is 

considered a source population, it will 

reduce the chance of losing the 

tidewater goby along this important 

coastal range, conserve genetic diversity 

within the species, and help facilitate 

colonization of currently unoccupied 

locations. Known threats in this unit 

that may require special management 

are described in Table 2. 

HUM–1, Stone Lagoon (586 ac (237 ha)) 

This unit is approximately 11 mi (18 

km) north of the city of Trinidad. HUM–

1 (Stone Lagoon) is a moderately large, 

natural, coastal lagoon with a narrow 

sand 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 proposed), 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 reduce the chance of losing the 

tidewater goby along this portion of the 

coast and help facilitate colonization of 

currently unoccupied locations. Known 

threats in this unit that may require 

special management considerations or 

protection of the PCEs are described in 

Table 2. 

HUM–2, Big Lagoon (1,505 ac (609 ha)) 

This unit is 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 


jlentini on PROD1PC65 with PROPOSAL2
Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 228 / Tuesday, November 28, 2006 / Proposed Rules 68927 

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. 

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. This critical habitat unit 

provides habitat for a tidewater goby 

population that is genetically distinct 

(Dawson et al. 2001, p. 1172). This unit 

will reduce the chance of losing the 

tidewater goby along this portion of the 

coast, help conserve genetic diversity 

within the species, and help facilitate 

colonization of currently unoccupied 

locations. Known threats in this unit 

that may require special management 

considerations or protection of the PCEs 

are described in Table 2. 

HUM–3, Humboldt Bay (1,478 ac (598 

ha)) 

This unit is located within an 8 mi (13 

km) radius to the north, south, and east 

of the city of Eureka. This area was 

known to be 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 

known 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 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 habitats 

proposed for designation as critical 

habitat in this revision. 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 be extirpated. This 

unit provides habitat for a tidewater 

goby population that is genetically 

distinct (Dawson et al. 2001, p. 1172). 

This unit will reduce the chance of 

losing the tidewater goby along this 

portion of the coast, help conserve 

genetic diversity within the species, and 

help facilitate colonization of currently 

unoccupied locations. Known threats in 

this unit that may require special 

management are described in Table 2. 

HUM–4, Eel River (268 ac) (109 ha)) 

This unit is 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. This 

unit was not known to be occupied at 

the time of listing; however, no 

tidewater goby surveys are known to 

have occurred in the Eel River estuary 

prior to the listing. The Service 

discovered a new population of 

tidewater gobies in the Eel River estuary 

during surveys in 2004 (Goldsmith 

2006b, p. 1). 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 


jlentini on PROD1PC65 with PROPOSAL2
68928 Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 228 / Tuesday, November 28, 2006 / Proposed Rules 

dynamic, 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 persisted in 

the refugia provided in upper channels 

and swales, and we have included some 

of those channels in this proposal. 

Alternatively, the species may have 

been extirpated at the Eel River delta 

during those severe events, 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, one of the reasons that this 

unit is important for the conservation of 

the species is because it is at the 

boundary of a large, natural gap in the 

geographic range of the species. Further, 

this unit possesses ecological 

characteristics which may be 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 reduce the chance of losing the 

tidewater goby along this portion of the 

coast, and help facilitate colonization of 

currently unoccupied locations. Known 

threats in this unit that may require 

special management are described in 

Table 2. 

MEN–1, Ten Mile River (218 ac (88 ha)) 

This unit is 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 known to be 

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 

provides habitat for a tidewater goby 

population that is genetically distinct 

(Dawson et al. 2001, p. 1172). This unit 

is considered a source population, and 

will reduce the chance of losing the 

tidewater goby along this portion of the 

coast, help conserve genetic diversity 

within the species, 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 the long-term 

exchange of genetic material between 

populations south of Cape Mendocino 

and populations to the north in 

Humboldt and Del Norte Counties. 

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 in this unit that 

may require special management 

considerations or protection of the PCEs 

are described in Table 2. 

MEN–2, Virgin Creek (11 ac (4 ha)) 

This unit is 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 was 

known to occupy 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 provides habitat for a 

tidewater goby population that is 

genetically distinct (Dawson et al. 2001, 

p. 1172). This unit is considered a 

source population, and it will reduce 

the chance of losing the tidewater goby 

along this portion of the coast, help 

conserve genetic diversity within the 

species, and help facilitate colonization 

of currently unoccupied locations. As 

described above, this unit is one of only 

three small estuaries occupied by gobies 

between MEN–1 and SON–1. It forms an 

important intermediate locality for longterm genetic movement over more than 

100 mi (161 km) of rugged Mendocino 

and Sonoma County coast. Known 

threats in this unit that may require 

special management considerations or 

protection of the PCEs are described in 

Table 2. 

MEN–3, Pudding Creek (23 ac (9 ha)) 

This unit is located 2.5 mi (4.0 km) 

north of the town of Fort Bragg. Pudding 

Creek, unit MEN–3, 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 


jlentini on PROD1PC65 with PROPOSAL2
Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 228 / Tuesday, November 28, 2006 / Proposed Rules 68929 

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 

genetic movement over more than 100 

mi (161 km) of rugged, unoccupied 

Mendocino and Sonoma County coast. 

Known threats 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 (24 ac (10 ha)) 

This unit is 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 provides 

habitat for a tidewater goby population 

that is genetically distinct (Dawson et al. 

2001, p. 1172). This unit is considered 

a source population, and it will reduce 

the chance of losing the tidewater goby 

along this portion of the coast, help 

conserve genetic diversity within the 

species, 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 gobies between MEN–1 and 

SON–1. It forms an important 

intermediate locality for long-term 

genetic movement over more than 100 

miles of rugged, unoccupied Mendocino 

and Sonoma County coast. 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 in this unit that may 

require special management 

considerations or protection of the PCEs 

are described in Table 2. 

SON–1, Salmon Creek (100 ac (41 ha)) 

This unit is 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 provides habitat for 

a tidewater goby population that is 

genetically distinct. This unit will 

reduce the chance of losing the 

tidewater goby along this portion of the 

coast, help conserve genetic diversity 

within the species, and help facilitate 

colonization of currently unoccupied 

locations. Known threats in this unit 

that may require special management 

considerations or protection of the PCEs 

are described in Table 2. 

MAR–1, Estero Americano (295 ac (120 

ha)) 

This unit is 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 

reduce the chance of losing the 

tidewater goby along this portion of the 

coast and help facilitate colonization of 

currently unoccupied locations. Known 

threats in this unit that may require 

special management considerations or 

protection of the PCEs are described in 

Table 2. 

MAR–2, Estero de San Antonio (178 ac 

(72 ha)) 

This unit is 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 


jlentini on PROD1PC65 with PROPOSAL2
68930 Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 228 / Tuesday, November 28, 2006 / Proposed Rules 

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 critical habitat unit provides 

habitat for a tidewater goby population 

that is genetically distinct (Dawson et al 

2001, p. 1172). This unit will reduce the 

chance of losing the tidewater goby 

along this portion of the coast, help 

conserve genetic diversity within the 

species, and help facilitate colonization 

of currently unoccupied locations. 

Known threats in this unit that may 

require special management 

considerations or protection of the PCEs 

are described in Table 2. 

MAR–3, Lagunitas (Papermill) Creek 

(849 ac (344 ha)) 

This unit is 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 

bay-ward 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. Historical 

records existed documenting the 

presence of tidewater goby at this 

location, but at the time of listing it was 

not occupied. Recent surveys have, 

however, confirmed that the unit is 

currently occupied. This unit is 

essential to the conservation of the 

species because 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 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. Furthermore, this unit 

provides habitat for a tidewater goby 

population that is genetically distinct 

(Dawson et al 2001, p. 1172). 

MAR–4, Rodeo Lagoon (40 ac (16 ha)) 

This unit is 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. The tidewater goby is 

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. This critical habitat unit provides 

habitat for a tidewater goby population 

that is genetically distinct (Dawson et al. 

2001, p. 1172). 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 reduce the chance of losing the 

tidewater goby along this portion of the 

coast, help conserve genetic diversity 

within the species, and help facilitate 

colonization of currently unoccupied 

locations. Known threats in this unit 

that may require special management 

considerations or protection of the PCEs 

are described in Table 2. 

SM–1, San Gregorio Creek (39 ac (16 

ha)) 

This unit is 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 also provides habitat for a tidewater 

goby population that is genetically 

distinct (Dawson et al. 2001, p. 1172). 

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 in this 

unit that may require special 

management considerations or 

protection of the PCEs are described in 

Table 2. 

SM–2, Pescadero-Butano Creek (218 ac 

(88 ha)) 

This unit is located approximately 32 

mi (51 km) south of the San FranciscoSan 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 


jlentini on PROD1PC65 with PROPOSAL2
Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 228 / Tuesday, November 28, 2006 / Proposed Rules 68931 

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 in this unit 

that may require special management 

considerations or protection of the PCEs 

are described in Table 2. 

SM–3, Bean Hollow Creek (Arroyo de 

Los Frijoles) (10 ac (4 ha)) 

This unit is 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 proposed), by 16.1 mi (26 km). This 

unit, together with the two units to the 

north, will reduce the chance of losing 

the tidewater goby along this important 

coastal range, and allows for 

connectivity between tidewater goby 

source populations, and thereby 

supports gene flow and metapopulation 

dynamics in this region. Known threats 

in this unit that may require special 

management considerations or 

protection of the PCEs are described in 

Table 2. 

SC–1, Laguna Creek (26 ac (11 ha)) 

This unit is 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 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 also provides habitat 

for a tidewater goby population that is 

genetically distinct (Dawson et al. 2001, 

p. 1172). This unit, together with 

Baldwin Creek (SC–2) to the south, is 

considered a source population, and 

will reduce the chance of losing the 

tidewater goby along this portion of the 

coast; help conserve the genetic 

diversity of the species; and help 

facilitate colonization of currently 

unoccupied locations. Known threats in 

this unit that may require special 

management considerations or 

protections of the PCEs are described in 

Table 2. 

SC–2, Baldwin Creek (17 ac (7 ha)) 

This unit is 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 proposed), by 0.7 mi (1.2 km). SC–

2 is likely a source population for this 

region. This critical habitat unit 

provides habitat for a tidewater goby 

population that is genetically distinct 

(Dawson et al. 2001, p. 1172). This unit, 

together with Laguna Creek to the north, 

is considered a source population, and 

will reduce the chance of losing the 

tidewater goby along this portion of the 

coast; help conserve genetic diversity 

within the species; and help facilitate 

colonization of currently unoccupied 

locations. Known threats in this unit 

that may require special management 

considerations or protection of the PCEs 

are described in Table 2. 

SC–3, Corcoran Lagoon (32 ac (12 ha)) 

This unit is 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 

proposed), by 0.7 mi (1.1 km). SC–3 is 

likely a source population for this 

region. This critical habitat unit 

provides habitat for a tidewater goby 

population that is genetically distinct 

(Dawson et al. 2001, p. 1172). This will 

reduce the chance of losing the 

tidewater goby along this portion of the 

coast; help conserve genetic diversity 

within the species; and help facilitate 

colonization of currently unoccupied 

locations. Known threats in this unit 

that may require special management 

considerations or protection of the PCEs 

are described in Table 2. 

SC–4, Aptos Creek (3 ac (1 ha)) 

This unit occurs 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 


jlentini on PROD1PC65 with PROPOSAL2

the north, Moran Lake (not proposed), 

by 42.0 mi (67.5 km). This unit will 

reduce the chance of losing the 

tidewater goby along this portion of the 

coast and help facilitate colonization of 

currently unoccupied locations. Known 

threats in this unit that may require 

special management consideration or 

protection of the PCEs are described in 

Table 2. 

SC–5, Pajaro River (176 ac (71 ha)) 

This unit is 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 but was possibly 

unoccupied at the time of listing, and 

therefore we consider it to be 

unoccupied at the time of listing. 

However, SC–5 is currently occupied. 

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 is essential to the conservation of 

the species because it allows for 

connectivity between tidewater goby 

source populations, and thereby

dynamics in this region. 

MN–1, Bennett Slough (155 ac (63 ha)) 

This unit is located approximately 3.7 

mi (6 km) northwest of the town of 

Castroville. 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; 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 the only occupied 

locality in Monterey County. MN–1 is 

likely a source population for this 

region. MN–1 is located 4.1 mi (6.6 km) 

south of the Pajaro River (SC–5) and is 

in Monterey Bay. The Pajaro River (SC–

5) is the nearest extant population to 

this unit. This critical habitat unit 

provides habitat for a tidewater goby 

population that is genetically distinct 

(Dawson et al. 2001, p. 1172). This unit 

will reduce the chance of losing the 

tidewater goby along this portion of the 

coast, help conserve genetic diversity 

within the species, and help facilitate 

colonization of currently unoccupied 

locations. Known threats in this unit 

that may require special management 

considerations or protection of the PCEs 

are described in Table 2. 

SLO–1, Arroyo del Corral (5 ac (2 ha)) 

This unit is 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 

critical habitat unit provides habitat for 

a tidewater goby population that is 

genetically distinct (Dawson et al. 2001, 

p. 1172). This unit will reduce the 

chance of losing the tidewater goby 

along this portion of the coast; help 

conserve genetic diversity within the 

species; and help facilitate colonization 

of currently unoccupied locations.

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 proposed), 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 in this unit 

that may require special management 

considerations or protection of the PCEs 

are described in Table 2. 

SLO–3, Little Pico Creek (2 ac (1 ha)) 

This unit is located approximately 6.7

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 in the ‘‘Background’’ section. 

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 9ac (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, designation of 

critical habitat at these five locations is 

necessary for the conservation of the 

tidewater goby along the Gaviota Coast 

in Santa Barbara County. Known threats 

in this unit that may require special 

management considerations or 

protection of the PCEs are described in 

Table 2. 

SB–3, Can ̃ ada de Santa Anita (3 ac (1

(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 Can ̃ ada de las 

Agujas (SB–2). The unit is separated 

from the nearest extant population to 

the north, in Can ̃ ada del Agua (not 

proposed), 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 in the 

‘‘Background’’ section, and that 

designation of critical habitat at these 

five locations is necessary for the

(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

of privately owned lands. SB–4 was 

occupied at the time of listing and is 

currently occupied. SB–4 is located 2.0

Anita (SB–3). The unit is separated from 

the nearest extant population to the 

south, in Can ̃ ada 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

‘‘Background’’ section. Known threats in 

this unit that may require special 

management are described in Table 2.

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–9 was occupied at the time

the late spring, summer, and fall 

summer 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 

critical habitat unit provides habitat for 

a tidewater goby population that is 

genetically distinct (Dawson et al. 2001, 

p. 1172). This unit will reduce the 

chance of losing the tidewater goby 

along this portion of the coast, help 

conserve genetic diversity within the 

species, 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 in 

this unit that may require special 

management considerations or 

protection of the PCEs are described in 

Table 2. 

VEN–3, J Street Drain-Ormond Lagoon 

(45 ac (18 ha)) 

This unit is 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 


jlentini on PROD1PC65 with PROPOSAL2
68936 Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 228 / Tuesday, November 28, 2006 / Proposed Rules 

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 

in this unit that may require special 

management considerations or 

protection of the PCEs are described in 

Table 2. 

LA–1, Malibu Lagoon (64 ac (27 ha)) 

This unit is 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 are 

proposed as critical habitat units in this 

revision. 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 reduce 

the chance of losing the tidewater goby 

along this portion of the coast and help 

facilitate colonization of currently 

unoccupied locations. Known threats in 

this unit that may require special 

management considerations or 

protection of the PCEs are described in 

Table 2. 

LA–2, Topanga Creek (5 ac (2 ha)) 

This unit is 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. LA–

2 was not known to be occupied at the 

time of listing, however tidewater gobies 

were first detected at this locality in 

2001 and the unit is currently occupied. 

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) 

south of the Malibu Creek unit (LA–1), 

which is also the nearest extant 

population. 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. 

Effects of Critical Habitat Designation 

Section 7 Consultation 

Section 7(a) of the Act requires 

Federal agencies, including the Service, 

to evaluate their actions with respect to 

any species that is proposed or listed as 

endangered or threatened and with 

respect to its critical habitat, if any is 

proposed or designated. Regulations 

implementing this interagency 

cooperation provision of the Act are 

codified at 50 CFR part 402. 

Section 7(a)(4) of the Act requires 

Federal agencies to confer with us on 

any action that is likely to jeopardize 

the continued existence of a species 

proposed for listing or result in 

destruction or adverse modification of 

proposed critical habitat. This is a 

procedural requirement only. However, 

once a proposed species becomes listed, 

or proposed critical habitat is 

designated as final, the full prohibitions 

of section 7(a)(2) apply to any Federal 

action. The primary utility of the 

conference procedures is to maximize 

the opportunity for a Federal agency to 

adequately consider proposed species 

and critical habitat and avoid potential 

delays in implementing their proposed 

action as a result of the section 7(a)(2) 

compliance process, should those 

species be listed or the critical habitat 

designated. 

Under conference procedures, the 

Service may provide advisory 

conservation recommendations to assist 

the agency in eliminating conflicts that 

may be caused by the proposed action. 

The Service may conduct either 

informal or formal conferences. Informal 

conferences are typically used if the 

proposed action is not likely to have any 

adverse effects to the proposed species 

or proposed critical habitat. Formal 

conferences are typically used when the 

Federal agency or the Service believes 

the proposed action is likely to cause 

adverse effects to proposed species or 

critical habitat, inclusive of those that 

may cause jeopardy or adverse 

modification. 

The results of an informal conference 

are typically transmitted in a conference 

report; while the results of a formal 

conference are typically transmitted in a 

conference opinion. Conference 

opinions on proposed critical habitat are 

typically prepared according to 50 CFR 

402.14, as if the proposed critical 

habitat were designated. We may adopt 

the conference opinion as the biological 

opinion when the critical habitat is 

designated, if no substantial new 

information or changes in the action 

alter the content of the opinion (see 50 

CFR 402.10(d)). As noted above, any 

conservation recommendations in a 

conference report or opinion are strictly 

advisory. 

Once a species is listed or critical 

habitat is designated, section 7(a)(2) of 

the Act requires Federal agencies to 

ensure that activities they authorize, 

fund, or carry out are not likely to 

jeopardize the continued existence of 

such a species or to destroy or adversely 

modify its critical habitat. Recent 

decisions by the 5th and 9th Circuit 

Courts of Appeals have invalidated our 

regulatory definition of ‘‘adverse 

modification’’ at 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)). Pursuant to current 

national policy and the statutory 

provisions of the Act, we determine 

destruction or adverse modification 

based on whether, with implementation 

of the proposed Federal action, the 

affected critical habitat would remain 

functional (or retain the current ability 

for the primary constituent elements to 

be functionally established) 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, 

compliance with the requirements of 

section 7(a)(2) will be documented 

through the Service’s 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 may affect, but 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 


jlentini on PROD1PC65 with PROPOSAL2
Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 228 / Tuesday, November 28, 2006 / Proposed Rules 68937 

the project, if any are identifiable. 

‘‘Reasonable and prudent alternatives’’

are defined 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, that are consistent 

with the scope of the Federal agency’s 

legal authority and jurisdiction, that are 

economically and technologically 

feasible, and that the Director believes 

would 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 certain instances, including 

where a new species is listed or critical 

habitat is subsequently designated that 

may be affected by the Federal action, 

where the Federal agency has retained 

discretionary involvement or control 

over the action or such discretionary 

involvement or control is authorized by 

law. Consequently, some Federal 

agencies may request reinitiation of 

consultation with us on actions for 

which formal consultation has been 

completed, if those actions may affect 

subsequently listed species or 

designated critical habitat or adversely 

modify or destroy proposed critical 

habitat. 

Federal activities that may affect the 

tidewater goby or its designated critical 

habitat will require section 7 

consultation under the Act. Activities 

on State, tribal, local or private lands 

requiring a Federal permit (such as a 

permit from the Corps under section 404 

of the Clean Water Act or a permit 

under section 10(a)(1)(B) of the Act from 

the Service) or involving some other 

Federal action (such as funding from the 

Federal Highway Administration, 

Federal Aviation Administration, or the 

Federal Emergency Management 

Agency) will also be subject to the 

section 7 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 

consultations. 

Application of the Jeopardy and 

Adverse Modification Standards for 

Actions Involving Effects to the 

Tidewater Goby and its Critical Habitat 

Jeopardy Standard 

When performing jeopardy analyses 

for the tidewater goby, the Service 

applies an analytical framework that 

relies heavily on the importance of core 

area populations to the survival and 

recovery of the tidewater goby. The 

section 7(a)(2) analysis is focused not 

only on these populations but also on 

the habitat conditions necessary to 

support them. 

The jeopardy analysis usually 

expresses the survival and recovery 

needs of the tidewater goby in a 

qualitative fashion without making 

distinctions between what is necessary 

for survival and what is necessary for 

recovery. Generally, if a proposed 

Federal action is incompatible with the 

viability of the affected core area 

population(s), inclusive of associated 

habitat conditions, a jeopardy finding is 

warranted, because of the relationship 

of each core area population to the 

survival and recovery of the species as 

a whole. 

Adverse Modification Standard 

The analytical framework described 

in the Director’s December 9, 2004, 

memorandum is used to complete 

section 7(a)(2) analyses for Federal 

actions affecting tidewater goby critical 

habitat. The key factor related to the 

adverse modification determination is 

whether, with implementation of the 

proposed Federal action, the affected 

critical habitat would remain functional 

(or retain the current ability for the 

primary constituent elements to be 

functionally established) to serve its 

intended conservation role for the 

species. Generally, the conservation role 

of tidewater goby critical habitat units is 

to support viable core area populations. 

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 may destroy 

or adversely modify critical habitat may 

also jeopardize the continued existence 

of the species. 

Activities that may destroy or 

adversely modify critical habitat are 

those that alter the PCEs to an extent 

that the conservation value of critical 

habitat for the tidewater goby is 

appreciably reduced. 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 proposed 

critical habitat units, or the areas 

upgradient 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 

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 


jlentini on PROD1PC65 with PROPOSAL2
68938 Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 228 / Tuesday, November 28, 2006 / Proposed Rules 

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. 

All of the units proposed as revised 

critical habitat, as well as those that 

have been exempted, to contain features 

essential to the conservation of the 

tidewater goby. With the exception of 

the Eel River, Lagunitas (Papermill) 

Creek, Pajaro River, Arroyo Burro, and 

Topanga Creek units, all of the proposed 

revised critical habitat units were 

occupied by the species at the time of 

listing. All of the proposed units are 

believed to be currently occupied by the 

tidewater goby. Federal agencies already 

consult with us on activities in areas 

currently occupied by the tidewater 

goby, or where the species may be 

affected by an action, to ensure that 

their actions do not jeopardize the 

continued existence of the tidewater 

goby. 

Application of Section 4(a)(3) 

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, by 

November 17, 2001, an Integrated 

Natural Resource Management Plan 

(INRMP). 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 consult with the military on the 

development and implementation of 

INRMPs for installations with listed 

species. INRMPs developed by military 

installations located within the range of 

the proposed critical habitat designation 

for the tidewater goby were analyzed for 

exemption under the authority of 4(a)(3) 

of the Act. 

Application of Section 4(a)(3)—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, 

based on the above considerations 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. This 

includes approximately 838 ac (340 ha) 

of habitat on the Base that 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 proposing to remove the currently 

designated habitat for tidewater goby on 

this installation as this critical habitat 

must be exempted pursuant to section 

4(a)(3) of the Act for the reasons 

described below. 

In 2001, the Marine Corps completed 

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. 

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. In addition, the Base 

already programmatically consulted for 

regularly occurring activities and 

regularly consults on any of their 

actions that fall outside of that 

programmatic consultation. This 

military installation has an approved 

INRMP that provides a benefit to the 

tidewater goby and the Marine Corps 

has committed to work closely with the 

Service and the State wildlife agency to 

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 


jlentini on PROD1PC65 with PROPOSAL2
Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 228 / Tuesday, November 28, 2006 / Proposed Rules 68939 

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. This includes 

approximately 775 ac (314 ha) of habitat 

on VAFB. This habitat is located in the 

following areas: Shuman Canyon, San 

Antonio Creek, and the Santa Ynez 

River. Therefore, we are not including 

critical habitat for tidewater goby on 

this installation pursuant to section 

4(a)(3) of the Act for the reasons 

described below. 

VAFB completed an INRMP in 1997, 

prior to the passage and implementation 

of the Sikes Act Improvements Act of 

1997; in 2003, VAFB revised their 

INRMP, and we provided comments on 

the revised INRMP, in a letter dated 

August 2, 2004. The older plan and the 

revised INRMP provide conservation 

measures for the tidewater goby, as well 

as for the management of important 

wetland habitats on the base. 

VAFB’s INRMP benefits 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 INRMP 

provides 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 INRMP 

specifies 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. This military 

installation has an approved INRMP 

that provides a benefit to the tidewater 

goby, 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. Therefore, 

approximately 775 ac (314 ha) of critical 

habitat subject to the INRM at Shuman 

Canyon, San Antonio Creek, and the 

Santa Ynez River are exempted from 

critical habitat in this proposal to revise 

critical habitat. 

Exclusions Under Section 4(b)(2) of the 

Act 

Section 4(b)(2) of the Act states that 

critical habitat shall be designated, and 

revised, on the basis of the best 

available scientific data after taking into 

consideration the economic impact, 

national security impact, and any other 

relevant impact, of specifying any 

particular area as critical habitat. The 

Secretary may exclude an area from 

critical habitat if [s]he determines that 

the benefits of such exclusion outweigh 

the benefits of specifying such area as 

part of the critical habitat, unless [s]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 Secretary is afforded broad 

discretion and the Congressional record 

is clear that in making a determination 

under the section the Secretary has 

discretion as to which factors and how 

much weight will be given to any factor. 

Under section 4(b)(2), in considering 

whether to exclude a particular area 

from the designation, we must identify 

the benefits of including the area in the 

designation, identify the benefits of 

excluding the area from the designation, 

determine whether the benefits of 

exclusion outweigh the benefits of 

inclusion. If an exclusion is 

contemplated, then we must determine 

whether excluding the area would result 

in the extinction of the species. The 

Service is conducting an economic 

analysis of the impacts of the proposal 

to revise critical habitat and related 

factors, which will be available for 

public review and comment. Based on 

public comment on that document, the 

proposed revision itself, and the 

information in the final economic 

analysis, particular areas may be 

excluded from critical habitat by the 

Secretary under the provisions of 

section 4(b)(2) of the Act. This is 

provided for in the Act, and in our 

implementing regulations at 50 CFR 

242.19. 

Economic Analysis 

An analysis of the economic impacts 

of proposing to revise critical habitat for 

the tidewater goby is being prepared. 

We will announce the availability of the 

draft economic analysis as soon as it is 

completed, at which time we will seek 

public review and comment. At that 

time, copies of the draft economic 

analysis will be available for 

downloading from the Internet at 

http://www.fws.gov/ventura/ or by 

contacting the Ventura Fish and 

Wildlife Office directly (see ADDRESSES

section). 

Peer Review 

In accordance with our joint policy 

published in the Federal Register on 

July 1, 1994 (59 FR 34270), we will seek 

the expert opinions of at least three 

appropriate and independent specialists 

regarding this proposed rule. The 

purpose of such review is to ensure that 

our critical habitat designation is based 

on scientifically sound data, 

assumptions, and analyses. We will 

send these peer reviewers copies of this 

proposed rule immediately following 

publication in the Federal Register. We 

will invite these peer reviewers to 

comment, during the public comment 

period, on the specific assumptions and 

conclusions regarding the proposal to 

revise critical habitat. 

We will consider all comments and 

information received during the 

comment period on this proposed rule 

during preparation of a final 

rulemaking. Accordingly, the final 

decision may differ from this proposal. 

Public Hearings 

The Act provides for one or more 

public hearings on this proposal, if 

requested. Requests for public hearings 

must be made in writing at least 15 days 

prior to the close of the public comment 

period. We will schedule public 

hearings on this proposal, if any are 

requested, and announce the dates, 

times, and places of those hearings in 

the Federal Register and local 

newspapers at least 15 days prior to the 

first hearing. 

Clarity of the Rule 

Executive Order 12866 requires each 

agency to write regulations and notices 

that are easy to understand. We invite 

your comments on how to make this 

proposed rule easier to understand, 

including answers to questions such as 

the following: (1) Are the requirements 

in the proposed rule clearly stated? (2) 

Does the proposed rule contain 

technical jargon that interferes with the 

clarity? (3) Does the format of the 

proposed rule (grouping and order of 

the sections, use of headings, 

paragraphing, and so forth) aid or 

reduce its clarity? (4) Is the description 


jlentini on PROD1PC65 with PROPOSAL2
68940 Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 228 / Tuesday, November 28, 2006 / Proposed Rules 

of the notice in the SUPPLEMENTARY

INFORMATION section of the preamble 

helpful in understanding the proposed 

rule? (5) What else could we do to make 

this proposed rule easier to understand?

Required Determinations 

Regulatory Planning and Review 

In accordance with Executive Order 

12866, this document is a significant 

rule in that it may raise novel legal and 

policy issues, but it is not anticipated to 

have an annual effect on the economy 

of $100 million or more or affect the 

economy in a material way. Due to the 

tight timeline for publication in the 

Federal Register, the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) has not 

formally reviewed this rule. We are 

preparing a draft economic analysis of 

this proposed action, which will be 

available for public comment, to 

determine the economic consequences 

of designating the specific area as 

critical habitat. This economic analysis 

also will be used to determine 

compliance with Executive Order 

12866, Regulatory Flexibility Act, Small 

Business Regulatory Enforcement 

Fairness Act, Executive Order 12630, 

Executive Order 13211, and Executive 

Order 12875. 

Further, Executive Order 12866 

directs Federal Agencies promulgating 

regulations to evaluate regulatory 

alternatives (Office of Management and 

Budget, Circular A–4, September 17, 

2003). Pursuant to Circular A–4, once it 

has been determined that the Federal 

regulatory action is appropriate, then 

the agency will need to consider 

alternative regulatory approaches. Since 

the determination of critical habitat is a 

statutory requirement pursuant to the 

Endangered Species Act of 1973, as 

amended (Act) (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.), 

we must then evaluate alternative 

regulatory approaches, where feasible, 

when promulgating a designation of 

critical habitat. 

In developing our designations of 

critical habitat, we consider economic 

impacts, impacts to national security, 

and other relevant impacts pursuant to 

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 

subspecies. As such, we believe that the 

evaluation of the inclusion or exclusion 

of particular areas, or combination 

thereof, in a designation constitutes our 

regulatory alternative analysis. 

Within these areas, the types of 

Federal actions or authorized activities 

that we have identified as potential 

concerns are listed above in the section 

on Section 7 Consultation. The 

availability of the draft economic 

analysis will be announced in the 

Federal Register and in local 

newspapers so that it is available for 

public review and comments. The draft 

economic analysis can be obtained from 

the Internet Web site at http:// 

www.fws.gov/ventura/ or by contacting 

the Ventura Fish and Wildlife Office 

directly (see ADDRESSES). 

Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 

et seq.) 

Under the Regulatory Flexibility Act 

(5 U.S.C. 601 et seq., as amended by the 

Small Business Regulatory Enforcement 

Fairness Act (SBREFA) of 1996), 

whenever an agency is required to 

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 (i.e., 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. The SBREFA amended the 

Regulatory Flexibility Act (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. 

At this time, the Service lacks the 

available economic information 

necessary to provide an adequate factual 

basis for the required RFA finding. 

Therefore, the RFA finding is deferred 

until completion of the draft economic 

analysis prepared pursuant to section 

4(b)(2) of the Act and E.O. 12866. This 

draft economic analysis will provide the 

required factual basis for the RFA 

finding. Upon completion of the draft 

economic analysis, the Service will 

publish a notice of availability of the 

draft economic analysis of the proposal 

to revise critical habitat and reopen the 

public comment period for the proposed 

revision for an additional 60 days. The 

Service will include with the notice of 

availability, as appropriate, an initial 

regulatory flexibility analysis or a 

certification that the rule will not have 

a significant economic impact on a 

substantial number of small entities 

accompanied by the factual basis for 

that determination. The Service has 

concluded that deferring the RFA 

finding until completion of the draft 

economic analysis is necessary to meet 

the purposes and requirements of the 

RFA. Deferring the RFA finding in this 

manner will ensure that the Service 

makes a sufficiently informed 

determination based on adequate 

economic information and provides the 

necessary opportunity for public 

comment. 

Executive Order 13211 

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. Executive Order 

13211 requires agencies to prepare 

Statements of Energy Effects when 

undertaking certain actions. This 

proposed rule to designate revised 

critical habitat for the tidewater goby is 

a significant regulatory action under 

Executive Order 12866, but it is not 

expected to significantly affect energy 

supplies, distribution, or use. 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), 

the Service makes 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 


jlentini on PROD1PC65 with PROPOSAL2
Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 228 / Tuesday, November 28, 2006 / Proposed Rules 68941 

‘‘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 nonFederal 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) We do not believe that this rule 

will significantly or uniquely affect 

small governments because only about 2 

percent (231 ac (93 ha)) of the total 

proposed critical habitat designation for 

the tidewater goby is owned by small 

government entities. As such, a Small 

Government Agency Plan is not 

required. We will, however, further 

evaluate this issue as we conduct our 

economic analysis and revise this 

assessment if appropriate. 

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 implications assessment. The 

takings implications assessment 

concludes that this designation of 

critical habitat for the tidewater goby 

does not pose significant takings 

implications. However, we will further 

evaluate this issue as we conduct our 

economic analysis and review and 

revise this assessment as warranted. 

Federalism 

In accordance with Executive Order 

13132 (Federalism), the rule does not 

have significant Federalism effects. A 

Federalism assessment is not required. 

In keeping with Department of the 

Interior and Department of Commerce 

policy, we requested information from, 

and coordinated development of this 

proposal to revise critical habitat with, 

appropriate State resource agencies in 

the State of California. The revised 

designation of critical habitat in areas 

currently occupied by the tidewater 

goby imposes no additional restrictions 

to those currently in place and, 

therefore, has little incremental impact 

on State and local governments and 

their activities. The revised designation 

may have some benefit to these 

governments in that the areas that 

contain the features essential to the 

conservation of the species are more 

clearly defined, and the primary 

constituent elements of the habitat 

necessary to the conservation of the 

species are specifically identified. While 

making this definition and 

identification does not alter where and 

what federally sponsored activities may 

occur, it may assist these local 

governments in long-range planning 

(rather than waiting for case-by-case 

section 7 consultations to occur). 

Civil Justice Reform 

In accordance with Executive Order 

12988 (Civil Justice Reform), the Office 

of the Solicitor has determined that the 

rule does not unduly burden the judicial 

system and meets the requirements of 

sections 3(a) and 3(b)(2) of the Order. 

We have proposed revising critical 

habitat in accordance with the 

provisions of the Endangered Species 

Act. This proposed rule uses standard 

property descriptions and identifies the 

primary constituent elements 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 

approval by OMB under the Paperwork 

Reduction Act. 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 

It is our position that, outside the 

Tenth Circuit, we do not need to 

prepare environmental analyses as 

defined by the NEPA in connection with 

designating critical habitat under the 

Endangered Species Act of 1973, as 

amended. 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 in the courts of the 

Ninth Circuit (Douglas County v. 

Babbitt, 48 F.3d 1495 (9th Cir. Ore. 

1995), cert. denied 116 S. Ct. 698 

(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), Executive 

Order 13175, and the Department of 

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. We 

have determined that there are no tribal 

lands occupied at the time of listing that 

contain the features essential for the 

conservation and no tribal lands that are 

unoccupied areas that are essential for 

the conservation of the tidewater goby. 

Therefore, revised critical habitat for the 

tidewater goby has not been designated 

on Tribal lands.

as set forth below: 

PART 17—[AMENDED] 

1. The authority citation for part 17 

continues to read as follows: 

Authority: 16 U.S.C. 1361–1407; 16 U.S.C. 

1531–1544; 16 U.S.C. 4201–4245; Pub. L. 99–

625, 100 Stat. 3500; unless otherwise noted. 

2. In § 17.95(e), revise the entry for 

‘‘Tidewater goby (Eucyclogobius 

newberryi)’’ under ‘‘FISHES’’ to read as 

follows:

Tidewater Goby (Eucyclogobius 

newberrii) 

(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 0.1–2 m), still-to-slow-moving, 

aquatic habitat most commonly ranging 

in salinity from less than 0.5 ppt to 

about 10–12 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 

manmade 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 primary constituent elements. 

Critical habitat map units. 

(4) Boundaries of critical habitat are 

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 are digitized directly on 

imagery from the Department of 

Agriculture’s National Aerial Imagery 

Program data (NAIP) acquired in 2005. 

NAIP and NWI data are projected to 

Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM), 

zones 10 and 11, on the North American 

Datum of 1983.
