摘要: |
Fort Hood Military Reservation is an 87,890 ha U.S. Army installation located in central Texas, providing training facilities for the full range of mission requirements including maneuver exercises for units up to brigade level, firing of live weapons, and aviation training. The presence of Federally listed endangered species on Fort Hood is a significant natural resource management challenge for the Army and Fort Hood. In accordance with the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended, the Army must assist recovery of all listed threatened and endangered (T&E) species and their habitats under the installation's management authority. Army Regulation (AR) 200-3 requires installations to prepare an Endangered Species Management Plan (ESMP) for all listed and proposed T&E species. This plan should be used as a tool to achieve conservation objectives for populations of listed and proposed T&E species and to minimize impacts on the training mission. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Biological Opinion for Fort Hood (September 1993, as amended) provides requirements and guidance for endangered species management on Fort Hood. The objective of this ESMP is to provide a comprehensive plan for maintaining and enhancing populations and habitats of federally listed and candidate species on Fort Hood while maintaining mission readiness consistent with Army and Federal environmental regulations. |
