Extractions: Police Department: (425) 745-6175 or (425) 337-1115 Fax - (425) 745-4680 What is the Endangered Species Act? The Endangered Species Act (ESA) was adopted by Congress in 1973 to help protect and recover fish, wildlife, and plants that are in danger of extinction. The ESA requires federal action to stop or change activities that cause species to become extinct. Since fish populations are rapidly declining in the northwest, the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), under provisions of the ESA, has listed several fish species whose habitat and populations are threatened. Fish species listed as threatened and identified within the Mill Creek area primarily (North Creek and its tributaries) include Chinook Salmon, Coho Salmon, and Cutthroat Trout (currently a candidate species). The ESA states that it is unlawful for anyone to "take" (ie; kill, harm or harass) endangered or threatened species and their habitats. What is Mill Creek doing to comply?

Extractions: The global extinction crisis rivals global warming in its magnitude, urgency, and monumental implications for human health and welfare. Extinction is irreversible, and is now happening at a breakneck pace: across the globe, between one and 100 species are becoming extinct every day. The natural "background" rate of extinction is only one species per 100 years. Species loss signals a potential risk to humans as well as to animals and plants. More sensitive animals those that fill highly specialized niches, require large tracts of undisturbed land, or breed slowly, for instance are the first to suffer from habitat loss, pollution, and other drastic human-induced changes. In time, as the food chain collapses, animals further up will also suffer including humans. Species populations can be revitalized if serious efforts are made. For instance, the California brown pelican like the bald eagle was seriously affected by the use of DDT, which weakened the bird's eggshells so that they cracked during incubation. With the banning of DDT and other toxic pesticides, the brown pelican population is slowly rebounding. Closer to home, the South Bay's fragile population of California clapper rails has rebounded in the past decade, climbing from between 200 and 300 in 1991 to an estimated 600 to 700 in 1999 as a result of controls on invasive species.

The Agency recognizes the need to balance habitat protection with the obligations of providing an adequate water supply, and maintaining flood control and sanitation facilities; and is committed to assisting with the preparation of tools that facilitate the recovery planning process for federally threatened runs of coho and chinook salmon, and steelhead in the Russian River watershed as well as shaping policies that promote protection and restoration of other threatened and endangered species and their habitat. Environment Home Endangered Species Act Compliance The federal Endangered Species Act The ESA includes regulations prohibiting "take" of endangered, and in some cases threatened, species. "Take" is defined in the ESA as: to harass, harm, pursue, hunt, shoot, wound, kill, trap, capture, collect, or attempt to engage in any such conduct. "Harm" is defined as an act that actually kills or injures a protected species. Harm can arise from significant habitat modification or degradation where it actually kills or injures protected species by significantly impairing essential behavioral patterns, including breeding, spawning, rearing, migrating, feeding, or sheltering. In other words, any activity that has a direct or indirect adverse effect on a listed species would be considered a take under the ESA. Any action that results in take of a listed species is in violation of the ESA.

Extractions: Natural Causes Extinction is recognized as a natural biological process consistent with the concepts of evolution. Based on fossil records, birds have a mean species lifespan of about 2 million years, while mammals have a mean species lifespan of about 600,000 years. Extinction by natural causes may mean the actual death of a species or the evolution of the species into one or more new forms. Overspecialization, competition, sudden climatic change, or catastrophic events such as earthquakes or volcanic eruptions are natural causes of species' death. Introduced Exotic Predators Introduction of exotic species to ecosystems often disrupts natural systems, especially when a predator is introduced. Native species are seldom adapted to handle these often devastating components of their environment. Sometimes predators are introduced to control another exotic species, thus compounding the biological effects on the system. Exotic predators will inevitably turn to native fauna or flora in search of food. Nonpredatory Exotics Nonpredatory exotics are often agents of competition and/or disease. Other effects may also be attributed to their introduction.

Extractions: NORTHERN SPOTTED OWL (Strix occidentalis) STATUS: THREATENED The Northern Spotted Owl is dependent on old growth Douglas Fir and Redwood trees for nesting and finding food. They need to roost in old-growth forests because these habitats offer cool, damp conditions, with plenty of holes and cavities to roost in. Studies have found that adult survival has declined in recent years because of unsustainable logging and clear cutting practices. Their numbers have further dwindled because their main food source, the Red Tree Vole, is also declining in numbers. MARBLED MURRELET (Brachyramphus marmoratus) The threatened marbled murrelet is a small seabird which flies inland to nest on the mossy limbs of old-growth trees. During the past century California's murrelet population dropped from 60,000 to approximately 4,000 individuals. Pacific Lumber's ancient redwood groves in Humboldt County are one of three remaining nesting areas in California. The murrelet's dependence on old-growth nesting habitat and use of coastal marine feeding areas have brought it into frequent conflict with human economic interests. CALIFORNIA RED TREE VOLE (Arborimus pomo) Red Tree Voles are found along the Pacific coastal lowlands in Oregon and Northern California. Red Tree Voles live only in coastal coniferous forests consisting of Douglas Fir, Grand Fir, Western Hemlock, and/or Sitka Spruce. They live, nest, and feed within the forest canopy. Their reproductive potential is lower than typical voles. This coupled with the fact that their home range has been extensively logged has jeopardized their survival. Clear-cutting has significantly reduced available habitat and fragmented populations. One reason the Northern Spotted Owl is endangered is because the Red Tree Vole population, on which it feed, has shrunk dramatically.

Extractions: Photographer Unknown The Atlantic Salmon (Salmo salar) is often called "The king of the river" (which belongs to the genus Oncorhynchus) Salmon are fish that can be two metres long and more than forty kilograms in weight. Their muzzle is long, and they have a lot of teeth in their mouth. Their skin colour changes with the age and sex; when they are at rest the colour on the back is iron-blue and the belly is white, but when they go up the rivers, their back becomes dark. They have a voracious appetite and can swim very fast when they live in the sea, but when they go up the river, they do not eat until after they spawn, that is why they become weak. At the moment of their reproduction the salmon comes back to the river, where it was born, to the highest course, and there the females lay the eggs from November till December;. They make a pit in the stream gravel into which they lay thousands of eggs, and after that they cover them with sand from the bottom. Later, the males cover the eggs with seminal liquid during a week.

The act declared - for the first time - that we would not ignore the extinction of America's natural legacy. Regrettably, today's Republican Party, dominated by anti-environmental politicians backed by powerful development interests, is relentlessly working to disassemble the act, one piece at a time.
Extractions: version DisplayAds ("Position1", "90", "40"); //> SEATTLE - Three years ago, Mark Rutzick was the timber industry's top lawyer trying to overturn fish and wildlife protections that loggers viewed as overly restrictive. Back then, he outlined to his clients a new strategy for dealing with diminishing salmon runs. By counting artificially created fish along with wild salmon, the government would help the timber industry by getting salmon off the endangered species list, Rutzick wrote. Now, as a high-ranking political appointee in the Bush administration who is a legal adviser to the National Marine Fisheries Service, Rutzick is helping shape government policy on endangered Pacific salmon. And in an abrupt change, the Bush administration has decided for the first time to consider counting fish raised in hatcheries when determining if some species are going extinct.
