Protected species may occur within the project if appropriate habitat is present. Species listed as May Occur have a lower potential to occur based on information available and are therefore not a Species of Concern, but may still require consultation with respective agencies depending on other permitting efforts for the project. A habitat assessment and/or presence/absence survey may be warranted; contact a qualified biologist to assist in this evaluation and discuss project-specific avoidance and minimization strategies at your discretion or at the direction of the regulatory authority. In general, we recommend you avoid impacts to species and their habitat to the greatest extent practicable to avoid permitting delays and mitigation. Species listed as Not Likely to Occur have been excluded as a concern due to lack of appropriate habitat or geography. A field survey to confirm this result can be performed by a consultant at your discretion.

Transect uses the best available data from multiple public and private sources. When there are discrepancies with species data on IPaC reports and Transect reports, we recommend that you contact the USFWS to determine the next steps for your project.

The AOI is within the range(s) of state listed species that may occur if suitable habitat is present. See Permit Matrix to understand how these species are regulated in the state. There is no information available regarding elemental occurrences, critical habitat or primary locations on or near the project; therefore these are not Species of Concern, but species that May Occur. A habitat assessment and/or presence-absence survey may be warranted depending on state regulations. A qualified biologist can perform surveys and discuss project-specific avoidance and minimization strategies at your discretion or at the direction of the regulatory authority. Species listed as Not Likely to Occur have been excluded as a concern due to lack of appropriate habitat or geography.

As the project plans to avoid all impacts to rivers, streams, and wetlands, the waters concern level is low. Please note that there there may be unmapped stream or wetland features within the project. Impacts to any unmapped features may trigger waters-related regulations and permits.
