What is a Federal Habitat Conservation Plan (HCP) and Incidental Take Permit?
The HMP qualifies as a HCP, which is a plan designed to offset any harmful effects that a proposed activity, such as development, might have on a federally threatened or endangered species. An incidental take permit is required if “take” (harm, harass, or kill) of a threatened or endangered species is anticipated. For more information, see Answers to Technical Questions.
