Habitat Conservation Plan for Indiana and Virginia Big-eared Bats
Beech Ridge Wind Power Project (Beech Ridge Energy LLC)

Beech Ridge Energy LLC (BRE – a subsidiary of Invenergy LLC) has requested an Endangered Species Act (ESA) permit from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service for its project in Greenbrier and Nicholas counties in West Virginia. The ESA makes it illegal to "take"—meaning trap, capture, harass, harm or kill—wildlife protected by the federal law as threatened or endangered. BRE is developing a habitat conservation plan, a requirement for the permit, to address impacts to the endangered Indiana and Virginia big-eared bats.
