(1) Nothing in ORS 564.100 to 564.130 is intended, by itself, to require an owner of any commercial forestland or other private land to take action to protect a threatened species or endangered species, or to impose additional requirements or restrictions on the use of private land.
(2) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, nothing in ORS 496.004, 496.171 to 496.192, 498.026, 564.040 and 564.100 to 564.135 or ORS 527.610 to 527.770 and 527.992 shall be interpreted to require protection of a species listed under ORS 564.100 to 564.130 or its habitat on private forestland.
(3) The existence of a species listed under ORS 564.100 to 564.130 on privately owned forestland shall not require protection of its habitat as a biological site under ORS 527.610 to 527.770 and 527.992. However, if other elements exist that qualify such habitat as a biological site, such habitat may be protected as a biological site under ORS 527.610 to 527.770 and 527.992.
(4) Species listed under ORS 564.100 to 564.130 may be subject to protection under ORS chapters 195, 196 and 197 provided that the full process of inventory and analysis required by any open spaces, scenic and historic areas and natural resources goal is fulfilled and included in any acknowledged land use plan or amendment.
