      <abstract>These data identify, in general, the areas of Final critical habitat for Delphinium bakerii (Baker’s larkspur).</abstract>
      <purpose>Critical habitat constitutes areas considered essential for the conservation of a listed species. These areas provide notice to the public and land managers of the importance of the areas to the conservation of this species. Special protections and/or restrictions are possible in areas where Federal funding, permits, licenses, authorizations, or actions occur or are required.</purpose>

      <procstep>
        <procdesc>As required by section 4(b)(2) of the Act and regulations at 50 CFR 424.12, we used the best scientific information available to determine areas that contain the physical and biological features that are essential for the conservation of Delphinium bakerii. We reviewed available information that pertains to the habitat requirements of the species, including data from research and survey observations; regional Geographic Information System (GIS) coverages (e.g., soils, known locations, vegetation, land ownership); information from herbarium collections such as CalFlora ((http://www.calflora.org); from herbarium collections such as CalFlora ((http://www.calflora.org); data from CNDDB (2001); and data collected from project-specific and other miscellaneous reports submitted to us. This included information from our final rule listing D. bakeri as endangered (65 FR 4156), the CNDDB (2001), soil survey maps (SCS 1972, 1985), certified soil GIS layers for Marin County, geologic formation maps, 1993 digital orthophotoquarterquads, and discussions with botanical experts who have worked closely with this plant species. We also conducted site visits at one historical occurrence of D. bakeri, as well as one extant occurrence of D. bakeri (to the extent we could visit the habitat without going onto private land). We delineated the critical habitat units by using data layers in a GIS format with all the known Delphinium bakeri occurrences from the CNDDB (2001) and other sources (D. Amme, in litt., 2002, pers. comm., 2002). We created additional data layers to reflect vegetation types using aerial photographs, GIS data for Marin soils (Natural Resource Conservation Service 2001), and recent development using satellite imagery (CNES/SPOT Image Corporation 2001). We created an additional data layer by digitizing Kneeland soils data for Sonoma County from a U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) soil survey (1972). These data layers were laid over a base of USGS 3.75' digital orthophotographic quarter quadrangle images. In designating critical habitat, we made an effort to avoid developed areas such as houses, intensive agricultural areas (such as row crops, vineyards, and orchards), and lands unlikely to contain the primary constituent elements for Delphinium bakeri. However, we did not map critical habitat in sufficient detail to exclude all developed areas. Developed areas within the boundaries of the mapped units, such as buildings, lawns, roads, parking lots, and other paved areas will not contain one or more of the primary constituent elements. Federal actions limited to these areas, therefore, would not trigger consultation relative to critical habitat under section 7 of the Act unless they affect the species, or affect primary constituent elements in adjacent critical habitat.</procdesc>
