Federal Agency Consultation

"Federal agencies are required under section 7 of the federal Endangered Species Act (Act) to consult with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) to ensure their actions do not jeopardize the continued existence of bull trout.  The Service works with federal agencies to help them evaluate the impacts of their proposed action, and minimize and mitigate those impacts.  The Service then renders an opinion on the action, documenting compliance by the federal agency with the Act.  You may contact your local Service field office for more information.
