Requirement
Purpose
Protect ecological communities from land-disturbing activities.
Criteria
If during the Sensitive Wildlife Habitat Mapping conducted as part of the ECC Site Analysis Packet revealed the presence of federally-listed threatened or endangered species’ habitat on-site the project is required to hire a qualified biologist to produce a Habitat Conservation Plan per the Endangered Species Act.
Preserve 100% of the found on site by placing an undisturbed 100-foot buffer around those areas. The buffer should be protected from all land clearing and development activity, and must be permanently protected along with the habitat area.
Verification
- Habitat Conservation Plan per the Endangered Species Act.
- Controlling documents verifying permanent protection of the habitat and buffer.
- Inspection by an ECC Technical Advisor.
