INTRODUCTION NRCS has the distinction of providing technical and financial assistance to landowners through voluntary participation in various programs. NRCS also has a responsibility, as an agency of the federal government, to uphold the laws and regulations of the government and to protect the interests of the public. With the assistance of NRCS, landowners can apply conservation alternatives that avoid adversely affecting protected species or their habitats, or proactively create or enhance habitat. An awareness of habitat locations and an understanding of the impacts of conservation practices, including the long and short-term effects on habitat, are key to NRCS being able to fulfill its responsibilities under the ESA. This handbook outlines the standard operating procedures for use and application of the Interagency Coordination Tool (ICT). The ICT is a web-based geospatial computer application located on the internet at: http://www.mapwv.gov/ict. The tool is used to determine the probability of presence of designated habitat for federal listed species and impact avoidance based on predetermined avoidance measures approved through a programmatic consultation agreement. The concept of the ICT was born out of the need to streamline and simplify the compliance process for Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) field offices. Compliance with the Endangered Species Act was difficult in the field for many reasons including the lack of a cohesive process, the lack of species information, knowledge of the habitat and life history and reluctance by State and Federal agencies to share location or other information concerning their status. Programmatic agreements with the U.S .Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) throughout the country paved the way for expedited methods to be developed that allowing field planners the ability to obtain a recipe for avoidance; thus aiding the recovery of species without having to consult with the USFWS on each occurrence. Most States that developed programmatic agreements also developed a conservation practice-species matrix that outlined necessary protocols when a particular practice affected the habitat of that species. Most programmatic agreements relied on the conservation planners to have access to location information, population and other data that was not readily available in West Virginia. These included maps or GIS layers that required staff time and personnel to maintain, update and manage. The agencies in West Virginia responsible for safeguarding the natural heritage information were very concerned about dispensing locations of species of concern or otherwise listed species. There were concerns that the dispersal of this information could lead to people misusing the data thorough unauthorized specimen collection, development or project obstruction, eradicating the species from private property and so forth. On the other hand, this made it extremely difficult for resource agencies including NRCS to aid in the recovery efforts or even track potential benefits to these species or habitats as outlined in the NRCS mission. Conversely, NRCS had some concerns regarding the transfer of landowner information relevant to a client’s conservation plan. Client’s information concerning the decisions they make on their land is private information and must not be released except with written consent from the landowner. Through partnership with the USFWS West Virginia Field Office and the West Virginia Division of Natural Resources (WVDNR), a programmatic consultation for the federal-listed species that could be encountered during planning and other non-project activities was developed. During this process, all conservation practices in West Virginia were reviewed for their potential effects on all current federal-listed species in the State. Determinations were made as to whether the practices were likely to have no effect, an adverse affect, or a beneficial effect, and in the cases of potential adverse effects, how those effects could be avoided. However, this programmatic agreement did not fully solve the problem regarding the release of “sensitive” information by either agency nor did NRCS staff have access to location or habitat information. The idea of a The ICT Handbook – 7 “black box” method where only minimal information may be offered from the inquiring to the receiving agency was developed. This method would allow only nominal non-sensitive information within a predetermined area to be entered into a website. In return, the website would generate strategies to avoid and minimize impacts to species or designated habitat without identifying the exact location or other sensitive information about the species. The resulting information would be based on the programmatic agreement. Above all, this method would allow agencies to identify specific instances where conservation practices would or could potentially benefit a listed species and move it toward delisting. This method not only solved the privacy and sensitive species information issues, but also saved time and maintenance requirements by allowing one agency to maintain a single copy of geospatial maps and security needs within house. It avoided maintenance problems with maps and polygon layers and CEC compatibility issues for computer software. In addition, this method lends itself well to other applications including Cultural Resources and the Clean Water Act. Additional modules of this sort could be added to the ICT in relatively quick timeframes. The ICT was designed to provide reports based on a number of criteria.

The project is regulated by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) under section 7(c) of the Natural Gas Act of 2005 (Docket No. CP15-93-000); the FERC issued an Environmental Impact Statement for this project on July 29, 2016. The Rover Pipeline Project involves facilities located within multiple districts of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) Great Lakes and Ohio River Division. The project corridor originates near New Milton, in Doddridge County, West Virginia and terminates near Howell, in Livingston County, Michigan. Within the Huntington District Regulatory Boundary, the project proposes work within multiple counties in West Virginia and Ohio. In West Virginia, portions of the project are located within Doddridge, Tyler and Wetzel Counties.
