Project Reviews in Virginia

This on-line project review process is intended for use by landowners, applicants, consultants, agency personnel, and any other individual or entity requiring U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) review or approval of their project within the Commonwealth of Virginia. You should complete this on-line process before contacting our office.
Through this process, you will follow step-by-step guidance and access information that will allow you to identify threatened and endangered species, designated critical habitat, and other Federal trust resources that may be affected by your project. You will be able to assess whether your project is likely to affect these resources. This process is intended to provide quick and accurate determinations and information to help ensure that trust resources are considered and conserved while planning and conducting activities.
If upon completion of this process you determine that your project is unlikely to affect these resources, you can certify your determination, and no further coordination will be required. If your project may affect these resources, the review package developed through the process will expedite further review when it is submitted to our office.
Because the website and information is frequently updated to provide new trust resource information and methods to review projects, refer to the website for each project review to ensure that current information is utilized.
