STAGE 2C Upload SLLp2-1. The project team has uploaded written evidence that the state Natural Heritage Program (NHP) agency was consulted for the presence of species listed as threatened or endangered under the federal Endangered Species Act, the state's endangered species act, or species or ecological communities classified by NatureServe as GH, G1 or G2 on the project site. Upload SLLp2-2. The project team has uploaded written evidence that the state wildlife agency was consulted for the presence of species listed as threatened or endangered under the federal Endangered Species Act, the state's endangered species act, or species or ecological communities classified by NatureServe as GH, G1 or G2 on the project site. The results of the above inquiries to required agencies were: Conclusive Not conclusive A qualified biologist has been consulted and performed surveys using accepted methodologies to determine whether species occur or are likely to occur. Upload SLLp2-3. The project team has uploaded a summary of the biological survey using accepted methodologies that meets the credit requirements. Note: Do not upload entire document. Select one of the following: Option 1. Species and Communities Absent.

The documentation provided demonstrates the presence of federal, state, or NatureServe (GH/G1/G2) classified species / communities and an approved HCP exists. Option 3. Species and Communities Present: Habitat Conservation Plan (HCP) Equivalent. The documentation provided demonstrates the presence of federal, state, or NatureServe (GH/G1/G2) classified species / communities; however, no HCP exists. The project team will prepare an HCP Equivalent.

SPECIES AND COMMUNITIES PRESENT: HABITAT CONSERVATION PLAN (HCP) The project complies with an approved Habitat Conservation Plan (HCP) that covers each identified species or community. Upload SLLp2-4. The project team has uploaded the cover page and an excerpt or executive summary from an HCP that demonstrates the project and its species / communities are covered by the HCP, and that the HCP has been approved by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Note: Do not upload entire document.

Describe how the project complies with the HCP.

SPECIES AND COMMUNITIES PRESENT: HABITAT CONSERVATION PLAN (HCP) EQUIVALENT Name of qualified individual or organization assisting with plan: Upload SLLp2-6. The project team has uploaded a summary of an HCP-equivalent conservation plan. The conservation plan includes the following elements: Identification and mapping of the geographic extent of the habitat and the appropriate buffer, not less than 100 ft. Provide protection of the identified habitat and buffer in perpetuity. Analysis of threats from development and a monitoring and management plan that eliminates or significantly reduces the threats. A portion of habitat and buffer identified cannot be protected in perpetuity. (Optional) Quantification of the impacts by acres or number of plants and/or animals affected, and on-site or off-site protection from development in perpetuity for an equal or greater amount have been provided.
