PROGRAMS & PROJECTS Habitat  The key purpose of the San Joaquin County Multi-Species Habitat
Conservation and Open Space Plan (SJMSCP or Plan), is to provide a
strategy for balancing the need to conserve Open Space and the need to
Convert Open Space to non-Open Space uses while protecting the region's
agricultural economy; preserving landowner property rights; providing
for the long-term management of plant, fish and wildlife species,
especially those that are currently listed, or may be listed in the
future, under the Federal Endangered Species Act (ESA) or the California
Endangered Species Act (CESA); providing and maintaining multiple-use
Open Spaces which contribute to the quality of life of the residents of
San Joaquin County; and accommodating a growing population while
minimizing costs to Project Proponents and society at large.
San Joaquin County's past and future (2001-2051) growth has affected and will continue to affect 97 special status plant, fish and wildlife species in 52 vegetative communities scattered throughout San Joaquin County's 1,400+ square miles and 900,000+ acres, which include 43% of the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta's Primary Zone. The SJMSCP, in accordance with ESA Section 10(a)(1)(B) and CESA Section 2081(b) Incidental Take Permits, provides compensation for the Conversion of Open Space to non-Open Space uses which affect the plant, fish and wildlife species covered by the Plan. The SJMSCP compensates for Conversions of Open Space for the following activities: urban development, mining, expansion of existing urban boundaries, non-agricultural activities occurring outside of urban boundaries, levee maintenance undertaken by the San Joaquin Area Flood Control Agency, transportation projects, school expansions, non-federal flood control projects, new parks and trails, maintenance of existing facilities for non-federal irrigation district projects, utility installation, maintenance activities, managing Preserves, and similar public agency projects.
