Crapo, Lincoln Introduce Collaborative ESA Bill - CRESA measure involves more people, incentives to boost recovery efforts

 

(Note: There is a great deal of red bolding here to show Language Deception. The reader is asked to read with his/her intellect and not emotions, for the emotions are being seriously courted here, with flattery to "land owners" who are using "voluntary conservation," etc. The actual intent of this legislation is to control more private property by controlling how it is -- or is not -- used. Again, as with H.R. 3824, the bill's text is available at the Center for Biological Diversity first, before it is available at http://thomas.loc.gov )

Washington, D.C. - Enlisting more people in conservation efforts by offering incentives to private landowners is a key component of an ESA improvement bill introduced today by Idaho Senator Mike Crapo and Arkansas Senator Blanche Lincoln. Crapo (R-Idaho) and Lincoln (D-Arkansas) have co-chaired a bipartisan working group on ESA issues which produced the legislation introduced today. 

S. 2110, the Collaboration for the Recovery of the Endangered Species Act (CRESA), focuses on additional participation by landowners and states to recover species. It also, for the first time, introduces incentives such as tax breaks and conservation banking provisions. Conservation banking is a concept that encourages voluntary conservation efforts and partnerships and has been used successfully in several states.

The bill allows the federal government to prioritize its resources to get funding to the species most in need, while incorporating local input on recovery plans and species recovery teams. 

“We must decrease the conflict inherent in present efforts to speed recovery,” Crapo said. “Collaboration and incentives offered to property owners will be a faster route to recovery of species than litigation in the courts. CRESA allows for innovation, flexibility, and the collaborative involvement of many parties, which have proven to be more effective in recovering species.”

“This is a constructive, bipartisan effort to update a 30-year-old law, which has increasingly slowed the recovery of endangered species,” Lincoln said. “By encouraging greater involvement between land owners and environmentalists, it is my hope that we can minimize litigation and enhance recovery.” 

Crapo and Lincoln say CRESA has groundbreaking incentive provisions. The proposed tax incentives will reward landowners who help recover species. The conservation banking provision is an innovative market program that allows landowners to profit from conservation efforts through use of conservation credits. Additionally, there are regulatory incentives for landowners who voluntarily contribute to recovery with simpler procedures and through Farm Bill programs. This bill makes it easier for landowners to do recovery work for species. 

The tax provisions mean CRESA may receive a hearing next year before the Senate Finance Committee.

Crapo and Lincoln are both members of the Finance Committee. 

“We've seen amazing things happen in Idaho, in Arkansas, and in California, to name just a few. We've seen landowners, conservationists, local, state and federal agencies come together, figure out a workable plan and set about to do the business of recovering species. These plans are tried and true -- they work and they need to have the strength of the law behind them,” Crapo concluded.

Senators Lincoln, Crapo Introduce Collaborative Bill to Update Environmental Species Act 

 

December 15, 2005


For Immediate Release

Contact: Drew Goesl Drew_Goesl@lincoln.senate.gov or 202-224-6436

Washington – U.S. Senators Blanche Lincoln (D-Ark.) and Mike Crapo (R-Idaho) today introduced a bipartisan proposal to improve and update the Endangered Species Act. 

The Senators said they worked together for several months to draft Senate Bill #2110, The Collaboration for Recovery of the Endangered Species Act (CRESA). They took numerous steps to balance the concerns of the environmental community and with landowners and states with a goal of resolving many of the conflicts that tie up endangered species recovery in the courts. 

"This is intended as a constructive effort to update a 30-year-old law, which has, in some ways, slowed the recovery of endangered species," Lincoln said. "By encouraging greater involvement between land owners and environmentalists, it is my hope that we can minimize litigation and enhance recovery." 

Lincoln cited U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service statistics which show that, throughout the life of the current law, less than one percent of endangered species have been fully recovered.

The Senators said that CRESA would, for the first time, enlist more people in conservation efforts by providing tax incentives and by including the conservation banking concept. Conservation banking encourages voluntary conservation efforts and partnerships and is already being utilized successfully in several states. The bill also allows the federal government to prioritize its resources to get funding to the species most in need, while involving local input on recovery plans and species recovery teams. 

"We must decrease the conflict inherent in present efforts to speed recovery," Crapo said. "Collaboration and incentives offered to property owners will be a faster route to recovery of species than litigation in the courts. CRESA allows for innovation, flexibility, and the collaborative involvement of many parties, which have proven to be more effective in recovering species."

Lincoln and Crapo said their bipartisan bill would make it easier for landowners to do recovery work for species.

Pombo Statement on Crapo, Lincoln ESA Bill


December 15, 2005


News Release

For Immediate Release

Contact Brian Kennedy Brian.Kennedy@mail.house.gov or 202-226-9019 or Matt Streit at Matt_Streit@mail.house.gov or 202-226-9019

 

Washington, D.C. - House Resources Committee Chairman Richard W. Pombo (R-CA) issued the following statement today on S. 2110, Collaboration for the Recovery of the Endangered Species Act, introduced by Senators Mike Crapo (R-ID) and Blanche Lincoln (D-AR).

I applaud the efforts of Senators Crapo and Lincoln to improve the Endangered Species Act.

Both have long been proponents of reauthorizing the law.

Senator Crapo and I have been strong allies in updating the ESA in the past, and I look forward to working with him, Senators Lincoln, James Inhofe and Lincoln Chafee as the Senate completes its work on the Act's reauthorization.

When Congress passed this law more than three decades ago, it was a first attempt at a species recovery law.

However, Congress very rarely gets anything exactly right the first time around. 

Now, more than ever we need to bring this 33-year-old law into the 21st century to ensure that America’s species have the best chance of recovery.

The ESA must be updated to incorporate more than 30 years of lessons learned.

It must be modernized to provide flexibility for innovation to achieve results.

Senators Crapo and Lincoln realize this and have introduced legislation that provides for this innovation in some key areas of the law.

First and foremost, ESA reform must change the Act’s chief unintended consequences of conflict and litigation into real cooperative conservation.

I look forward to working with Chairman Inhofe and Subcommittee Chairman Chafee as they move legislation to update and modernize the ESA.

Anti-Endangered Species Bill in Senate - Senator Crapo (R-ID) Introduces Bill to Undermine Endangered Species Act 

 

(Note: What a Br'er Rabbit smokescreen this is -- do anything but throw him in the brier patch. This bill is right up CBD's alley, even though it carries on as though it were the polar opposite.)


 

December 15, 2005

 


By Center for Biological Diversity

 


Washington, D.C. - Senator Mike Crapo (R-ID) introduced a bill today aimed at undermining protections for endangered species. The Senate bill, S. 2110, cynically titled the “Collaboration and Recovery of Endangered Species Act,” would completely derail the endangered species listing program, remove protections for the endangered species habitat, and cut federal oversight of projects that threaten endangered species. 

Overview of the Crapo bill follows below. 

The text of the bill is available at http://www.biologicaldiversity.org

The Crapo bill pays lip service to encouraging landowners to conserve endangered species on private land, an idea long supported by conservation organizations. However, the Crapo bill focuses on giving large tax breaks to large-scale land developers and eliminating habitat protections rather than encouraging or enabling conservation on private land.

Perhaps the most blatant attack on the Endangered Species Act (ESA) is the provision of the Crapo bill that would eliminate mandatory timelines to place species on the endangered list or designate critical habitat, instead giving the Secretary of the Interior complete discretion to indefinitely postpone listings and habitat designations.

“Senator Crapo’s proposal alone would be a disaster for endangered species conservation,” said Melissa Waage, legislative advocate for the Center for Biological Diversity. “But the bill introduced today is part of an even bigger plan to gut the Endangered Species Act by teaming up with Rep. Pombo to adopt the worst provisions of Pombo's House bill behind closed doors.” 

On September 29, the House passed H.R. 3824 by Rep. Pombo (R-CA) -- a bill that would repeal entire sections of the Endangered Species Act. A detailed analysis and the text of the Pombo bill are available at www.biologicaldiversity.org ESA bills that pass the Senate this year would be referred to a conference committee to be merged with the Pombo bill from the House. The two leaders of such a conference committee would be Rep. Pombo and Senator Inhofe (R-OK), who has an environmental voting score of 0 according to the League of Conservation Voters.

Crapo told E&E TV on October 6: “I think the House [Pombo] bill is a very good bill and although we may not be able to get the necessary 60 votes for every part of the House bill, and I don't know that yet, that doesn't, that wouldn't change my support for the whole bill as is. I mean it's a good bill [the Pombo bill], but my objective here is to make sure that we get a bill that has as much of those reforms that the House [Pombo bill] has and maybe even some more, that we can get consensus on, through the Senate.” Crapo also has an environmental voting score of 0 according to the League of Conservation Voters. 

"Crapo has sponsored a poorly written bill with the worst intentions and terrible implications for wildlife," said Kieran Suckling, policy director of the Center for Biological Diversity. "The Endangered Species Act is the safety net for America's imperiled plants and animals. This bill rips down endangered species protections and creates road blocks to endangered species recovery."

The Fisheries, Wildlife, and Water Subcommittee, under the leadership of Sen. Lincoln Chafee (R-RI), is considering ESA reauthorization of its own, but has committed to developing such legislation only after gathering adequate information, and hearing from agencies, experts and stakeholders. The introduction of the Crapo bill today appears to be a rush to purposely sidestep that deliberative process.

The Endangered Species Act protects 1,300 of America's most endangered plants and animals. Originally created in 1973, it has a saved over 99 percent of these species from extinction including the Bald Eagle, Gray Wolf, Sea Otter, and Grizzly Bear. 

Overview of Crapo bill follows…

Overview of S.2110, the “Collaboration and Recovery of Endangered Species Act” Introduced by Senator Crapo (R-ID) Thursday, December 15, 2005

Makes Habitat Protection Completely Discretionary (pages 18-19) The Crapo bill would eliminate mandatory timelines to designate critical habitat for endangered species, instead giving the Secretary of the Interior complete discretion to prioritize designations based in part on “minimizing conflicts” with “construction, development…or other economic activities.” Even then the Secretary would not be required to implement the schedule, and citizen groups would be banned from seeking court orders to implement any critical habitat schedules or deadlines. All existing court orders to designate critical habitat would be overruled by the bill.

Makes Species Listing Completely Discretionary (pages 18-19) As with habitat protections, the Crapo bill would eliminate mandatory timelines to place species on the endangered list, instead giving the Secretary of the Interior complete discretion to prioritize listings. Even then the Secretary is not required to implement her schedule and citizen groups are banned from seeking court orders to implement any listing schedules or deadlines. All existing court orders to list species would be overruled by the bill.

Killing One Species in Exchange for Another (pages 36-41) The Crapo bill would create a system allowing developers to buy and sell credits for destroying endangered species habitat. This senseless system would allow developers to destroy the habitat for one species (e.g. Coho salmon) because they have purchased credits to protect another (e.g. Mount Hermon June beetle). It would result in the destruction of tens of thousands of acres of essential habitat areas. 

Undermines Recovery Plans (pages 21-28) The Crapo bill would create a new convoluted recovery planning process that allows industry to rewrite and overrule the decisions of wildlife experts. A newly created “executive committee” made up of industry interests would make final edits and revisions to the recovery plan developed by scientists and agency biologists. Furthermore, the Crapo bill explicitly makes recovery plans “non-binding and advisory.”

Creates Roadblocks to Listing Endangered Species (pages 16-18) The Crapo bill would create an ambiguous priority system for listing endangered species that includes industry interests. Current law requires endangered species listings to be based solely on the biological needs of the species.

Eliminates Federal Oversight of Endangered Species (page 15) The Crapo bill would require Fish and Wildlife Service to provide a “provisional permit” for any project on private property (except for “ground clearing”) if there is no recovery plan in place. The permit would remain in effect until a habitat conservation plan (HCP) is approved. This would allow activities like mining and logging in endangered species habitat to proceed indefinitely with no federal oversight.

Restricts Wildlife Agencies from Improving Conservation Agreements (pages 50-53) The Crapo bill would take “No Surprises” -- a highly controversial administrative regulation -- and make it law. The Fish and Wildlife Service would be unable to update or revoke a permit (HCP) that authorizes harm to an endangered species, even if new information indicates that the original plan was inadequate and even if it is causing the extinction of the species.

Pays Off Developers to Not Violate the Law (page 56) The Crapo bill would create tax breaks to compensate private landowners for conservation work done on private property. However, the Crapo bill fails to limit these tax breaks to landowners who engage in active conservation -- the creation or enhancement of endangered species habitat. Therefore, land developers who are required to set aside some portion of their land from development would also be eligible for these tax breaks. That is, instead of paying private landowners to create new habitat, the Crapo bill would primarily be paying developers to comply with the law, creating no new habitat.
