A | 1-HIP | HIP Risk Determination (F&W HABITAT ACTIONS ONLY) : Contact BPA EC Lead for risk determination | 3/1/2021 | 7/31/2021 | Concluded | Virgil Watts III | 12/2/2020 7:28:13 PM |
Description: FOR HABITAT ACTIONS ONLY: The EC Lead will determine if work under this work element may be able to have full ESA-coverage (NMFS & USFWS) under the Habitat Improvement Program Biological Opinion (HIP). The HIP has expanded coverage for projects that may pose a moderate to high risk of impacting an ESA-listed species or critical habitat that would normally require a Biological Assessment. For work that qualifies, projects will undergo a review by the EC Lead and Engineering Technical Services (ETS) team. Before conceptual design commences, contact the EC Lead for HIP consideration, instruction, and information needs and requirements for coverage eligibility. The HIP activity categories and risk criteria are located in the current HIP Handbook located here: https://www.bpa.gov/efw/Analysis/NEPADocuments/Pages/ESA-Process.aspx | |||||||
