This layer represents all lands that are covered by the September 1997 State Lands Habitat Conservation Plan (HCP). Lands covered by the HCP (Permit Lands) must adhere to the relevant HCP conservation strategies affording coverage under the Incidental Take Permit. This layer does not identify specific HCP conservation roles (e.g. spotted owl NRF/dispersal). Please refer to other relevant GIS layers for specific conservation objective designations. As described in the HCP, these Permit Lands are defined as: "All DNR-managed forest lands within the range of the northern spotted owl, excluding those lands designated as urban or leased for commercial, industrial, or residential purposes and those lands designated as agricultural." (HCP, I.2) This layer is completely dependent on the following corporate data layers; CADASTRE.PARCEL, ROPA.HCPUNIT, ROPA.LAND_USE_SV, and ROPA.RIU_GIS. Changes in source layers will be incorporated at each update. Identifying newly acquired lands as Permit Lands is outlined in the Standard Practice Memorandum SPM08-06. In addition to baseline (1997) HCP covered lands still under DNR management, this layer displays disposed lands that still retain HCP coverage as well as acquired lands that have been designated as HCP covered.
