Project Reviews in Virginia

Step 7 - Determinations

The conclusion column in your species conclusion table should be filled in for all species/resources.  Use Tables 1 and 2 below to assist you in completing the determination column in your species conclusions table.  These tables show all the possible conclusions for each species/resource, and the resulting ESA Section 7 (Table 1) and Eagle Act (Table 2) determination based on your conclusions.  In addition we have provided two examples of completed species conclusions tables below. Continue to Step 8.
