Subject 391-4-10 PROTECTION OF ENDANGERED, THREATENED, RARE, OR UNUSUAL SPECIES
The purpose of these rules and regulations is to establish
the organizational structure and administrative procedures to be followed in
the protection of endangered species of plant and animal life. The Department
of Natural Resources is authorized by the Wildflower Preservation Act of 1973
(Ga. Laws 1973, p. 333, et seq.), the Endangered Wildlife Act
of 1973 (Ga. Laws 1973, p. 932, et seq.), the laws relating to
game and fish (Ga. Laws 1955, p. 483, et seq.) as amended, in
particular by (Ga. Laws 1968, p. 497, et seq.) and other laws
administered by the Department of Natural Resources, to promulgate rules and
regulations for the protection of designated species. The Department of Natural
Resources is required by the Endangered Wildlife Act of 1973 and the Wildflower
Preservation Act of 1973 to designate all plant and animal species indigenous
to the state which are determined by the Department to be "rare", "unusual", or
in "danger of extinction". Such species are then "protected species" and
subject to the provisions of the above-cited laws and the rules and regulations
of the Department of Natural Resources. The Department is required to review
periodically its "protected species" list and to make additions or deletions
when appropriate.
All terms used in these rules and regulations shall be
interpreted in accordance with the definitions as set forth in the Acts or as
otherwise herein defined.
| (a) |
The
"Acts" as used in these rules refer to the "Wildfower Preservation
Act of 1973", the "Endangered Wildlife Act of 1973", and other laws relating to
game and fish. |
| (b) |
"Department" means the Department of Natural Resorces. |
| (c) |
"Person" means any natural
person, firm, corporation, partnership, proprietorship, local government of the
state, or other legal entity. |
| (d) |
"Protected species" means those species of plants and animal life
which the Department shall have designated as such and has made subject to the
protection of these Acts. Protected species shall be interpreted to include
those classified as follows:
| 1. |
"Endangered species" means any resident species which is in danger
of extinction throughout all or a significant portion of its range, or one
which is designated as endangered under the provisions of the Federal
Endangered Species Act of 1973 (
P.L.
93-205). |
| 2. |
"Threatened species" means
any resident species which is likely to become an endangered species within the
foreseeable future throughout all or a significant portion of its range or one
that is designated as threatened under the provisions of the Federal Endangered
Species Act of 1973 (P.L.
93-205). |
| 3. |
"Rare species" means any
resident species which, although not presently endangered or threatened as
previously defined, should be protected because of its scarcity. |
| 4. |
"Unusual species" means any
resident species which exhibits special or unique features and because of these
features deserves special consideration in its continued survival in the
State. |
|
| (e) |
"Public
lands" means all those lands within this state which are owned by the
State of Georgia. |
| (f) |
"Resident species" means any species, sub-species or variety of
plant or animal life that is genetically, morphologically, ecologically, or
geographically distinct, and which interbreeds freely with its kind at
maturity, and which exists in this state, including its waters, in the wild
during any part of its life. |
| (g) |
"Status Undetermined species" means a resident species which is
not afforded protection under these rules and regulations, but should
additional research show the need for protection these or any other species may
be moved to the protected category. |
| (1) |
Criteria. The criteria for the
determination as to whether any resident species is an endangered, threatened,
rare, or unusual species are as follows:
| (a) |
The present or threatened destruction, modification or curtailment of its
habitat. |
| (b) |
Overutilization for
commercial, sporting, scientific, or educational purposes. |
| (c) |
Disease or predation. |
| (d) |
The inadequacy of existing regulatory
mechanisms. |
| (e) |
Other natural or
man-made factors affecting its continued existence. |
|
| (2) |
Procedures. General procedures for
modifying the state "protected species" list are as follows:
| (a) |
Any member of the public may nominate a
species for consideration. An application for nomination, in the form
prescribed by the Department, must be submitted to the Department with all
supporting data. |
| (b) |
If the
Department determines that review is warranted, additional data is solicited
from all relevant sources and notice of the nomination is published in the
Department news release. |
| (c) |
All
available scientific and commercial data is evaluated by the Department and
tentative determination is made regarding the status of the nominated
species. |
| (d) |
If the nominated
species is determined by the Department not to warrant review or not to be
endangered, threatened, rare or unusual, the person making the nomination is
notified in writing of such determination. |
| (e) |
If the nominated species is tentatively
determined by the Department to be endangered, threatened, rare, or unusual,
public notice is given by publishing the proposal in the Department news
release and by any other method required by the Georgia Administrative
Procedures Act (Ga. Laws, p. 338 et seq.) as amended. The
Department shall also distribute a public notice to all persons who have
requested to be placed on the mailing list. Such request shall be made in
writing and shall be renewed in December of each year. Failure to renew the
request shall result in the removal of such name from the mailing
list. |
| (f) |
A minimum of 20 days is
allowed for public comment, during which time a public hearing may be requested
pursuant to the Georgia Administrative Procedure Act. |
| (g) |
The Department considers public comment
and, if necessary, compiles and analyzes additional data. |
| (h) |
The Department will submit its
recommendation to the Board of Natural Resources no later than one year after
the initial nomination of the species. |
| (i) |
The Board will then determine appropriate
classification of nominated species by either adopting, modifying and adopting,
or rejecting the submitted classification. |
|
| (3) |
General Procedures for deleting a species
from the state "protected species" list are as follows:
| (a) |
Any member of the public, or the
Department on its own initiative, may propose that a protected species be
deleted from the state protected species list. |
| (b) |
If the Department determines that review
of such proposed deletion is warranted, additional data is solicited from all
relevant sources and notice of the proposed deletion is published in the
Department news release. |
| (c) |
All
available scientific and commercial data is evaluated by the Department and
tentative determination is made regarding the status of the species proposed
for deletion. |
| (d) |
If the species
proposed for deletion is determined by the Department not to warrant review the
person making the nomination is notified in writing of such
determination. |
| (e) |
If a species
proposed for deletion has been tentatively determined by the Department as
appropriate for deletion from the list as endangered, threatened, rare, or
unusual, public notice is given by publishing the proposal in the Department
news release and by any other method required by the Georgia Administrative
Procedures Act as amended. The Department shall also distribute a public notice
to all persons who have requested to be placed on the mailing list. Such
request shall be made in writing and shall be renewed in December of each year.
Failure to renew the request shall result in the removal of such name from the
mailing list. |
| (f) |
A minimum of 20
days is allowed for public comment, during which time a public hearing may be
requested pursuant to the Georgia Administrative Procedure Act. |
| (g) |
The Department considers public comment
and, if necessary, compiles and analyzes additional data. |
| (h) |
The Department will submit its
recommendation to the Board of Natural Resources no later than one year after
the initial proposal for deletion of the species. |
| (i) |
The Board will then determine whether the
species proposed for deletion should be deleted or its current classification
modified. |
|
The acquisition of natural areas and/or unique habitats upon
which are rare and endangered species depend shall be continued for the
purposes of protection, conservation and preservation. Lands or aquatic
habitats acquired for these purposes shall be managed or protected with this
principal objective in mind. Acquisitions of lands, aquatic habitats, or
interest herein may be made pursuant to any of the following:
| (a) |
through the Georgia Heritage Trust
Program of the Department; |
| (b) |
through joint State--Federal agreements; |
| (c) |
by donation of gift to the State, in
