their impact on 1992 critical
habitat,” Rutzick wrote. “New
projects currently under devel-
opment based on 2008 critical
habitat will have to be re-
worked, with a loss of time
and money.”
Changing the critical
habitat rule would adversely
affect communities through-
out the Pacific Northwest, the
document states, by causing
delays that have “the potential
to harm every employee of
any company holding an
awarded Forest Service tim-
ber sale that must be re-
viewed.”
Rutzick wrote that any
such delays “will cause major
disruption to federal land
management agencies and
private land owners in the
three-state region.”
Setting aside the critical
habitat rule also would re-
quire the Dept. of the Interior
to go through its typical pub-
lic comment and rule-making
procedures, Rutzick wrote.
Such a process has yet to oc-
cur since Salazar announced
his decision.
Frequently mentioned in
the court filing is former
USFWS deputy assistant sec-
retary Julie MacDonald, a
Bush administration ap-
pointee. She left her position
in May 2007 amid allegations
of political interference in
scientific decisions. And a
subsequent report by the
Dept. of the Interior inspector
general stated that her in-
volvement “potentially jeop-
ardized the decisional proc-
ess” for the spotted owl re-
covery plan.
However, the contentions
regarding MacDonald were
strongly disputed by the plain-
tiffs in the court filing. It states
that the spotted owl habitat
decisions were made by career
USFWS staff more than a
year after MacDonald’s depar-
ture from the agency.
“Ms. MacDonald could
not have influenced either of
these 2008 decisions since
she was long gone from the
Interior Department,” wrote
Rutzik. “Even if her involve-
ment in the earlier stages of
the decisional process had
been unlawful … that in-
volvement does not taint deci-
sions she did not make.
“Absent a plausible
showing that Ms. MacDonald
actually influenced the final
decisions, any impropriety on
her part would be legally ir-
