rspecies. The results of these surveys should be published in the <br /> environmental impact report. <br /> Information and maps concerning federally listed and candidate species in <br /> California are available from the California Natural Diversity data Base, a <br /> program of the California Department of Fish and Game. Address your request <br /> to: Ms. Elaine Hamby, Natural Diversity Data Bass, California Department of <br /> Fish and Game, 1220 S Street, Sacramento, California 95514. <br /> Should these surveys determine that federally listed species occur on the <br /> project site and are likely to be adversely affected by the proposed project, <br /> the Service recommends that the project proponent, in consultation with this <br /> office and the California Department of Fish and Game, develop a plan that <br /> mitigates for the project's unavoidable direct and indirect impacts to listed <br /> species and compensates for project related loss of habitat. The mitigation <br /> plan also should be included in the environmental impact report. <br /> If a Federal agency is involved with the permitting, funding, or carrying out <br /> of this project, then initiation of formal consultation between that agency <br /> and this office pursuant to Section 7 of the Act would be required. Such <br /> consultation would result in a biological opinion rendered by the Service that <br /> addresses anticipated effects of the project to listed and proposed species <br /> and authorizes a limited level of incidental take. <br /> If a Federal agency is not involved with the project, and federally listed <br /> species may be taken as part of the project, then an "incidental take" permit <br /> pursuant to Section 10(a) of the Act should be obtained. The issuance of a <br /> Section 10(a) permit by the Service is contingent upon development by the <br /> applicant of a satisfactory conservation plan for the listed species that <br /> would be affected by the subject project or action. <br /> If you have questions or require further information, please call Chris <br /> Nagano, the entomologist on my staff at (916) 9784566.
