Work Window Disposal project is covered by the existing Biological Opinions and can take place with the normal permits and conditions
Minimized Disposal and Consultation Required Disposal project proponents will need to request that the USACE initiate either informal or formal consultation on their behalf, with the appropriate resource agency for listed species and designated critical habitats. If a listed species is not federally listed, but is state listed the project proponent must consult with CDFG. Dredging and dredged material disposal activities that are conducted within the work windows as indicated in the Long-Term Management Strategy (LTMS) Management Plan, do not require further Endangered Species Act consultation. The permitting agencies will closely review the rationale for any dredging and disposal projects proposing work outside the work windows. Pursuant to the federal and California Endangered Species Acts, any projects proposing deviation from the work windows are required to undergo consultation with the appropriate resource agency. |
