Louisiana Administrative Code › Title 76 - WILDLIFE AND FISHERIES › Part I - Wildlife and Fisheries Commission and Agencies Thereunder › Chapter 3 - Special Powers and Duties › Subchapter E - Louisiana Natural Heritage › Section I-318 - Natural Areas Dedication and Servitudes

Current through Register Vol. 50, No. 6, June 20, 2024
A. Background. In 1987, by an Act of the
				  Louisiana State Legislature (Acts 1987, No. 324, §1, effective July 6, 1987),
				  the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries (LDWF) was named as the
				  state agency responsible for administering the Louisiana Natural Areas
				  Registry. A subsequent state legislative Act established the Wildlife Habitat
				  and Natural Heritage Trust to manage funds for the purpose of acquiring and
				  properly managing natural areas in Louisiana (Acts 1988, No. 492, §1, effective
				  July 9, 1988). The Louisiana Natural Areas Registry provides official state
				  recognition of natural heritage values on land parcels where they occur. A
				  voluntary registration agreement adds a measure of protection, and servitudes
				  or dedication of a Natural Areas Preserve provides secure protection.
B. Purpose. The primary purpose of dedicated
				  nature preserves and conservation servitudes is to permanently protect high
				  quality examples of Louisiana's natural heritage through land acquisition or
				  perpetual easements by LDWF. To "dedicate" a property is defined as the
				  transfer to LDWF of property rights in any natural area to be held for the
				  citizens of Louisiana to protect the natural heritage values of the
				  property.
C. Objectives. The
				  primary objective of the Louisiana Natural Heritage Program (LNHP) is to assure
				  that each species of conservation concern and each natural community type
				  tracked by LNHP is adequately represented at securely protected sites. This can
				  be accomplished by dedication of the property or through conservation
				  servitudes that duly protect the property.
D. General Guidelines
1. A request for a dedication or servitude
				  may be initiated by any party (LDWF, other state or federal agency, landowner,
				  non-government organization, or other interested parties), and must be
				  submitted to LNHP in writing and must include a justification, general
				  information on the property and specific location and boundary map.
2. LNHP will review initial requests, and
				  determine if proposed sites are eligible for dedication or servitude. LNHP will
				  recommend only those properties that support rare plant or animal species, or
				  an exemplary natural community type(s).

				  person except employees or contractors of the Louisiana Department of Wildlife
				  and Fisheries or members of the Wildlife and Fisheries Commission or the
				  National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, National Marine Fisheries
				  Service (NOAA/NMFS) whose duties require this information, except as permitted
				  by law or court order. Aggregate form, with respect to data, shall mean data or
				  information submitted by three or more persons that have been summed or
				  assembled in such a manner so as not to reveal, directly or indirectly, the
				  identity or business of any such person. Neither employees nor contractors of
				  the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries nor members of the Wildlife
				  and Fisheries Commission will voluntarily release confidential information to
				  another person, firm, or state or federal agencies, except NOAA/NMFS as stated
				  above, and to the extent possible, will oppose other agency and congressional
				  subpoenas to obtain confidential information.
B. Neither the Louisiana Department of
				  Wildlife and Fisheries nor its contractors nor members of the Wildlife and
				  Fisheries Commission will disclose confidential statistics under court order
				  without specific approval by the State Attorney General's Office. Employees or
				  contractors of the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries or members of
				  the Wildlife and Fisheries Commission who have access to confidential
				  statistics shall be subject to the provisions and penalties for unauthorized
				  disclosure.
