Designated Biologist Clause Samples
The Designated Biologist clause identifies a specific individual or entity responsible for overseeing and ensuring compliance with environmental or wildlife-related requirements within a project. This clause typically outlines the qualifications required for the biologist, their authority to halt work if protected species are at risk, and their role in monitoring and reporting on-site activities. Its core function is to ensure that environmental protections are properly implemented and monitored, thereby reducing the risk of regulatory violations and environmental harm.
