KDWP Section 7 Consultation. As a permitting requirement to this SHA/CCAA Agreement, the Service is required to complete an internal Section 7 consultation to ensure the permit issuance will not jeopardize the continued existence of any federally listed species with potential to occur on properties enrolled under this SHA/CCAA Agreement or result in destruction or adverse modification of designated critical habitat. In some cases, reintroductions of covered species under this SHA/CCAA Agreement may be funded or carried out by the Service or another federal agency in cooperation and partnership with KDWP. In other cases, reintroductions by KDWP may occur on federal land. It is the intent of the Service for the Biological Opinion for this SHA/CCAA Agreement to satisfy, to the extent allowable by law and regulation, future Section 7 consultation requirements of federal actions associated with this SHA/CCAA Agreement, as long as those actions are entirely consistent with this SHA/CCAA Agreement.
