Bald Eagle Permit: Non-Purposeful Take

Step-by-Step Guidance

Determining Whether a Wind Turbine Project May Cause the Non-Purposeful Take of Bald Eagles

Step 3. Your project is not likely to cause the non-purposeful take of bald eagles because the project is not within 3 miles of a bald eagle nest, a major eagle concentration area, or navigable waterway.

Should a dead eagle be found at your project site, or if an active bald eagle nest is established within 3 miles of your project after construction is completed, please contact one of the following eagle biologists:
