Natural Resources of Concern
Project Type: Development
Endangered Species Act Species List (USFWS Endangered Species Program). There are a total of 49 threatened, endangered, or candidate species, and/or designated critical habitat on your species list. 3 of which will be affected only under certain conditions. Species on this list are the species that may be affected by your project and could include species that exist in another geographic area. For example, certain ®shes may appear on the species list because a project could cause downstream effects on the species. Please contact the designated FWS of®ce if you have questions.

FWS Migratory Birds (USFWS Migratory Bird Program).
Most species of birds, including eagles and other raptors, are protected under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act (16 U.S.C. 703). Bald eagles and golden eagles receive additional protection under the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act (16 U.S.C. 668). The Service©s Birds of Conservation Concern (2008) report identi®es species, subspecies, and populations of all migratory nongame birds that, without additional conservation actions, are likely to become listed under the Endangered Species Act as amended (16 U.S.C 1531 et seq.).
NWI Wetlands (USFWS National Wetlands Inventory).
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is the principal Federal agency that provides information on the extent and status of wetlands in the U.S., via the National Wetlands Inventory Program (NWI). In addition to impacts to wetlands within your immediate project area, wetlands outside of your project area may need to be considered in any evaluation of project impacts, due to the hydrologic nature of wetlands (for example, project activities may affect local hydrology within, and outside of, your immediate project area). It may be helpful to refer to the USFWS National Wetland Inventory website. The designated FWS of®ce can also assist you. Impacts to wetlands and other aquatic habitats from your project may be subject to regulation under Section 404 of the Clean Water Act, or other State/Federal Statutes. Project Proponents should discuss the relationship of these requirements to their project with the Regulatory Program of the appropriate U.S. Army Corps of Engineers District.
