as
follows:

WHEREAS,
on
April
2,
2002,
the
Center
filed
a
complaint
for
declaratory
and
injunctive
relief
pursuant
to
Section
7
of
the
Endangered
Species
Act
("
ESA")
in
the
Northern
District
of
California,
which
alleged
that
the
EPA
had
failed
to
comply
with
Section
7
regarding
the
impacts
66
pesticide
active
ingredients
may
have
upon
the
California
red­
legged
frog,
a
federally
protected
species
listed
as
threatened
under
the
Endangered
Species
Act;

WHEREAS,
Plaintiff
maintains
that
the
66
Pesticides
can
adversely
affect
the
California
red­
legged
frog
and
its
aquatic
habitats;

WHEREAS,
Intervenors
maintain
that
there
is
no
effect
from
the
use
of
the
66
Pesticides
on
the
California
red­
legged
frog;

WHEREAS,
Federal
Defendants
maintain
that
they
cannot
determine
the
effects
of
the
66
Pesticides
on
the
California
red­
legged
frog,
if
any,
and
define
appropriate
protective
measures,
if
any,
until
they
have
completed
further
scientific
analyses,
which
may
include,
but
are
not
limited
to,
further
review
under
FIFRA,
effects
determinations
made
pursuant
to
the
ESA,
or

as
appropriate;
[
NOTE:
FIFRA
should
be
defined
here]

WHEREAS,
on
September
19,
2005,
the
Court
determined
that
the
potential
of
the
66
Pesticides
to
affect
the
California
red­
legged
frog
"
is
sufficient
to
trigger
the
obligation
of
Defendants
to
conduct
the
`
may
affect'
determination
under
ESA
§
7(
a)(
2)
for
those
listed
pesticide
ingredients,"

WHEREAS,
the
Court
ordered
the
Parties
to
meet­
and­

in
an
effort

an
agreed­
upon
schedule
for
the
EPA
to
comply

seek
to
have
this
Court
modify
this
injunctive
relief
(
including
both
the
schedule
and
the
interim
injunctive
relief)
because
of
EPA's
and
the
Service's
ongoing
actions
to
comply
with
the
ESA,
to
meet
the
requirements
of
other
federal
agencies
or

to
deal
with
circumstances
not

anticipated.
The

will
consider
such
future
requests
as
it
deems
appropriate.

this
Settlement
Agreement,
the
dissatisfied
Party
shall
provide
the

Parties
with
written

The

the
dispute
within

the
dispute
within
21
days
after

time
thereafter

to
resolve
the
dispute.
The
Court
will
consider
such
future
requests
as
it
deems
appropriate.
