If I implement the conservation measures on my IPaC report, can I be certain that this will fulfill all potential design requirements?
Because environmental circumstance across the landscape vary widely, it is not possible for the USFWS to ensure that conservation measures presented on IPaC will encompass the full scope of what is needed. Likewise, there will be times when some of the recommended conservation measures are not necessary. To address the later situation, the USFWS has attempted to create a transparent system that identifies conservation objectives for each conservation measure. The hope is to provide sufficient information for project proponents to determine if they have a “non-typical” project that may not involve all of the impacts anticipated with the “typical” project. However, it is anticipated that even if it is determined that additional conservation measures are needed, the need for project modifications will be greatly reduced.
