Questions
When a non-federal activity, such as building on private land, would incidentally take a listed species. You develop a conservation plan that meets the Endangered Species Act, apply for the permit, and carry out the project as the permit specifies.
The impact the take will likely cause; the steps you will take to minimize and mitigate it and the funding for them; the alternatives you considered and why you are not using them; and any other measures the Service requires.
Yes. The Service publishes a Federal Register notice for each permit application and takes written comments for 30 days. It may waive that period only in an emergency that threatens an endangered animal's life or health.
