Draft Consultation Guidance for NLEB and TCB

This document includes a step-by-step voluntary approach to consultation for the northern long-eared bat (NLEB) and the tricolored bat (TCB) for project types that do not include wind turbine operation or sustainable forestry, or projects included under other programmatic consultations. The document prescribes minimum conservation measures expected for projects that are likely to adversely affect NLEB and/or TCB. Our intent is to provide these measures up front for regulatory predictability and consistency.
