A HMP presents required management and monitoring tasks as approved by the resource agencies (U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, California Department of Fish and Game, Army Corps of Engineers) who have issued permits for a project. The HMP compiles the various permit requirements into one document. In most cases, a conservation easement is placed on the preserved land that limits any activity on the land except for habitat preservation and management of that open space. Depending on the violation, enforcement of the easement is coordinated through the owner or managing entity, local law enforcement, the municipality, and the resource agencies mentioned above.
