a. Surveys for Protected Species or Habitat of Protected Species based on the most current State and TPWD Memorandum of Understanding (MOU Effective 2013) and USFWS survey protocols The Engineer shall: o Perform surveys of protected species or habitat of protected species. This shall include: ▪ All species listed by the United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) as threatened or endangered or proposed for listing as threatened or endangered (50 CFR 17.11-12), ▪ All species that are candidates for review for listing by USFWS as threatened or endangered (per most recently updated list in Federal Register), DocuSign Envelope ID: 81680129-218F-4A62-86EE-68C3C135A630 ▪ Species listed as threatened or endangered species or species of greatest conservation need (SGCN) by the State of Texas Threatened and Endangered Species Listings, Texas Park and Wildlife Department (TPWD), ▪ Species protected by the Migratory Bird Treaty Act (50 CFR 10.13) and the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act (16 U.S.C. 668-668c). ▪ For projects located within United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) Xxxxx Xxxxx 0, 2, 3, and 4, a Texas licensed Professional Geoscientist (P.G.) shall perform, sign, and seal the karst features survey. o Examine existing data to determine the likelihood that rare species, protected species, their habitat, or designated critical habitat (per 50 CFR §17.94-95) could be impacted by the Transportation Activity. Existing data shall include the Element Occurrence Identification (EOID) records of the TPWD Natural Diversity Database, following the Guidelines set forth in the most current version of TPWD’s Guidelines for TXNDD Data Analysis in TxDOT Environmental Documents. o Perform an effect determination pursuant to the Endangered Species Act (ESA) for all federally listed species. A determination of impact must be included for all state-listed species. The determination of effect and impact must be supported by evidence, and may require a detailed assessment. Any technical reports used to support the determination(s) must be referenced and provided to the State. o Determine whether critical habitat is present in the study area and whether the Transportation Activity will affect that critical habitat. o Perform species-specific habitat surveys, presence or absence surv...

a. Surveys for Protected Species or Habitat of Protected Species based on the most current State and TPWD Memorandum of Understanding With Natural Resources Agencies and Memorandum of Agreement Between State and TPWD for Finalization of 2013 MOU. The Engineer shall:
1) Perform surveys of protected species or habitat of protected species. This shall include:
a) All species listed by the United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) as threatened or endangered or proposed for listing as threatened or endangered (50 CFR 17.11-12),
b) All species that are candidates for review for listing by USFWS as threatened or endangered (per most recently updated list in Federal Register),
c) Species listed as threatened or endangered species or species of greatest conservation need (SGCN) by the State of Texas Threatened and Endangered Species Listings, Texas Park and Wildlife Department (TPWD),
d) Species protected by the Migratory Bird Treaty Act (50 CFR 10.13) and the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act (16 U.S.C. 668-668c).
2) Examine existing data to determine the likelihood that rare species, protected species, their habitat, or designated critical habitat (per 50 CFR §17.94-95) could be impacted by the Transportation Activity. Existing data shall include the Element Occurrence Identification (EOID) records of the TPWD Natural Diversity Database, following the Guidelines set forth in DocuSign Envelope ID: 96ECF328-ADFC-48E2-AAEF-44272BE1E265 the most current version of TPWD’s Guidelines for TXNDD Data Analysis in TxDOT Environmental Documents.
3) Perform an effect determination pursuant to the Endangered Species Act (ESA) for all federally listed species. A determination of impact must be included for all state-listed species. The determination of effect and impact must be supported by evidence, and may require a detailed assessment. Any technical reports used to support the determination(s) must be referenced and provided to the State.
4) Determine whether critical habitat is present in the study area and whether the Transportation Activity will affect that critical habitat.
5) Perform species-specific habitat surveys, presence or absence surveys for protected species, or critical habitat (per 50 CFR 17.94-95) and rare species.
6) Conduct surveys for the presence or absence of protecte...
Threatened or Endangered Species. At least one independent biologist, engaged by the public utility and approved by the Pinelands Commission, qualified in the identification of threatened and endangered plants and animals and their habitats, as delineated at N.J.A.C. 7:50-6.27 and 6.33, shall be present during such times and locations where clearing and/or construction activities are being undertaken proximate to habitat identified as suitable for threatened and endangered species. The biologist(s) shall ensure that clearing and/or construction techniques being utilized do not adversely impact any habitat critical to the survival of any threatened and/or endangered species of animals or plants and that any such plants and animals discovered during construction are protected. Additionally, the biologist shall ensure that all threatened and endangered species BMPs identified in the plans delineated in Attachment A are being followed at all times during construction.
Threatened or Endangered Species. The Engineer shall perform biological services.
Threatened or Endangered Species. Owner agrees that the Property provides habitat for threatened or endangered species. The bay-cedar Suriama maritime occurs on the Property, as does the white-crowed pigeon, Columbia lucocephala. The Owner agrees that the bay- cedar will be preserved on the Property, either by leaving in place or by transplanting and incorporating into the landscape. The landscape plan will include tropical hardwood hammock species which is the preferred habitat for white-crowned pigeons, as well as the endangered Stock Island Tree Snail.
Threatened or Endangered Species. (This scope is for the Biological Evaluation Form and supporting information associated with the form.) The Engineer shall perform biological services.
Threatened or Endangered Species. 7.10.1. Task includes but is not limited to: • Contact the MnDNR and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) to obtain information on threatened or endangered species locations, including information from the MnDNR Natural Heritage Database and County Biological Survey Mapping. • Determine effects of the project on identified species and coordinate mitigation commitments for any impacts.
