A	HIPCOVER	Discuss HIP ESA coverage with Bonneville EC lead	9/15/2022	10/31/2022	Concluded	Allan Whiting	7/5/2022 1:12:24 PM
		Description: The EC Lead will determine if work under this work element may be able to have ESA-coverage (NMFS & USFWS) under the current version of the Habitat Improvement Program Biological Opinions (HIP BiOps). Work that qualifies must comply with conservation measures in the HIP Handbook. Medium to high risk projects will require a technical review by the Bonneville Engineering Technical Services. Before conceptual design commences, contact the EC lead for HIP applicability, instructions and information requirements. The HIP activity categories and risk criteria are located in the “Note” section of the work element background page here: https://www.cbfish.org/WorkElement.mvc/Summary/165
