Endangered Species Permits
Contents of an HCP
The contents of an HCP are defined in Section 10 as well. In general, they include:
-
An assessment of impacts likely to result from the proposed taking of one or more federally listed species.
-
Measures the permit applicant will undertake to monitor, minimize, and mitigate for such impacts; the funding that will be made available to implement such measures; and the procedures to deal with unforeseen or extraordinary circumstances.
-
Alternative actions to the taking that the applicant analyzed, and the reasons why the applicant did not adopt such alternatives.
- Additional measures that the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service may require as necessary or appropriate.
