Heritage Program to set priorities for research and for conservation planning. They are grouped as follows: State Element Rank: S1 : Critically imperiled in the state because of extreme rarity (5 or fewer occurrences or very few remaining individuals or acres) or because of some factor(s) making it especially vulnerable to extirpation from the state. S2: Imperiled in state because of rarity (6 to 20 occurrences or few remaining individuals or acres) or because of some factor(s) making it very vulnerable to extirpation from the state. S3: Rare or uncommon in state (on the order of 21 to 100 occurrences). S4: Apparently secure in state with many occurrences. S5: Demonstrably secure in state and essentially ineradicable under present conditions. SH: Of historical occurrence in the state, perhaps having not been verified in the past 20 years, and suspected to be still extant. SN: Regularly occurring, usually migratory and typically nonbreeding species for which no significant or effective habitat conservation measures can be taken in the state. SR: Reported from the state, but without persuasive documentation which would provide a basis for either accepting or rejecting the report. SRF: Reported falsely. SU: Undetermined. Possibly in peril in the state but status uncertain; need more information. SX: Extirpated within the state. The Natural Heritage Program information database should be searched to determine if any endangered, threatened, or special concern species have been sighted within 500 feet of the assessment area. The list of species, the subwatershed location, legal protection status, state element rank and county should be compiled. 2.1.4 State Wildlife Management Areas State wildlife management areas are established to protect those lands and waters which have a high potential for wildlife production and to develop and manage these lands and waters for the production of wildlife, for public hunting, fishing, and trapping, and for other compatible outdoor 16 recreational uses. State wildlife management areas satisfy the following criteria: 1. Includes appropriate wildlife lands and habitat, including but not limited to marsh or wetlands and the margins thereof, ponds, lakes, stream bottomlands, and uplands, which permit the propagation and management of a substantial population of the desired wildlife species; and 2. Includes an area large enough to ensure adequate wildlife management and regulation of the permitted recreational uses. 16 MN Statute 86A.05, subpart 8.
