Threatened or Endangered Species. (This scope is for the corresponding section(s) as listed in the Affected Environment and Environmental Consequences section of the EA.) DocuSign Envelope ID: FEE70723-A887-4BCC-92B5-33508013EFFC The Engineer shall perform biological services.
Threatened or Endangered Species. 7.10.1. Task includes but is not limited to: • Contact the MnDNR and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) to obtain information on threatened or endangered species locations, including information from the MnDNR Natural Heritage Database and County Biological Survey Mapping. • Determine effects of the project on identified species and coordinate mitigation commitments for any impacts.
Threatened or Endangered Species. If it is determined that habitat for any threatened or endangered (T&E) species could potentially occur within or adjacent to the project site, a biologist qualified will conduct T&E assessments and/or surveys. It will be the biologist’s responsibility to follow survey protocol and obtain all applicable permits to conduct the survey which will include, but may not be limited to: Review and conduct an initial threatened or endangered species assessment (USFWS IPaC) for all Federal and State listed T&E species in Larimer County that could potentially occur in or be affected by the project. This should include the five species that occur downstream of the project site along the South Platte River. If it is determined that habitat or potential habitat for any listed species occurs, formal consultation following Section 7 with U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service (USFWS) should occur as well as consultation with Colorado Parks & Wildlife for state listed species. The results of the survey will be documented in a Biological Resources Report, and a concurrence letter from the USFWS will be obtained.
Threatened or Endangered Species. The Engineer shall perform surveys for Habitat of Protected Species based on the most current State and Texas Parks and Wildlife Department (TPWD) Memorandum of Understanding effective 2013 (TPWD MOU) including: All species listed by the United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) as threatened or endangered or proposed for listing as threatened or endangered (50 CFR 17.11‐12), All species that are candidates for review for listing by USFWS as threatened or endangered (per most recently updated list in Federal Register), Species listed as threatened or endangered species or species of greatest conservation need (SGCN) by the State of Texas Threatened and Endangered Species Listings, Texas Park and Wildlife Department (TPWD), Species protected by the Migratory Bird Treaty Act (50 CFR 10.13) and the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act (16 U.S.C. 668‐668c). As part of this work, the Engineer shall: Coordinate between the State and USFWS or TPWD as directed by the State to ensure proper rules, regulations and policies are followed for biological services. All coordination between the Engineer’s Technical Expert and resource agencies shall be approved in advance by the State. Determine whether critical habitat is present in the study area and whether the Transportation Activity will affect that critical habitat. Examine existing data to determine the likelihood that rare species, protected species, their habitat, or designated critical habitat (per 50 CFR §17.94‐95) could be impacted by the Transportation Activity. Existing data must include the Element Occurrence Identification (EOID) records of the TPWD Natural Diversity Database, following the Guidelines set forth in the most current version of TPWD’s Guidelines for Texas Natural Diversity Database (TXNDD) Data Analysis in TxDOT Environmental Documents. Furnish the State with completed Biological Evaluation Form and Engineer’s Technical Expert’s field notes. Perform an effect determination pursuant to the Endangered Species Act (ESA) for all federally listed species. A determination of impact must be included for all state‐listed species. The determination of effect and impact must be supported by evidence, and might require a detailed assessment. Any technical reports used to support the determination(s) must be referenced and provided to the State. Perform species‐specific habitat surveys, presence or absence surveys for protected species (if habitat is present), or critical habita...
Threatened or Endangered Species. 21. At least one independent biologist, engaged by the public utility and approved by the Pinelands Commission, qualified in the identification of threatened and endangered plants and animals and their habitats, as delineated at N.J.A.C. 7:50-6.27 and 6.33, shall be present during such times and locations where clearing and/or construction activities are being undertaken proximate to habitat identified as suitable for threatened and endangered species. The biologist(s) shall ensure that clearing and/or construction techniques being utilized do not adversely impact any habitat critical to the survival of any threatened and/or endangered species of animals or plants and that any such plants and animals discovered during construction are protected. Additionally, the biologist shall ensure that all threatened and endangered species BMPs identified in the plans delineated in Attachment A are being followed at all times during construction.
Threatened or Endangered Species. (This scope is for the corresponding section(s) of the Scope Development Tool and technical report (if required).)
Threatened or Endangered Species. 9. All activities conducted in furtherance of any segment of the Proposed Widening Project shall be conducted in accordance with the Avoidance, Minimization and Mitigation measures, including but not limited to timing restrictions, set forth in the Species Management Plan, at pages 32 through 41, contained within the document entitled “Revised Endangered and Threatened Species Impact and Species Management Plan” dated January 30, 2008 and prepared by Xxx X. Xxxxxx Environmental Consultants, Inc. (“Species Management Plan”).
Threatened or Endangered Species. Buyer, at Buyer’s expense, may obtain a report from a natural resources professional to determine if there are any threatened or endangered species or their habitats as defined by the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department or the U.S.
