Project code: 2025-0076181 <br />03/31/2025 15:11:51 UTC <br />USFWS NATIONAL WILDLIFE REFUGE LANDS <br />AND FISH HATCHERIES <br />Any activity proposed on lands managed by the National Wildlife Refuge system must undergo a <br />'Compatibility Determination' conducted by the Refuge. Please contact the individual Refuges to <br />discuss any questions or concerns. <br />THERE ARE NO REFUGE LANDS OR FISH HATCHERIES WITHIN YOUR PROJECT AREA. <br />BALD & GOLDEN EAGLES <br />Bald and Golden Eagles are protected under the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act z and the <br />Migratory Bird Treaty Act (MBTA) 1. Any person or organization who plans or conducts <br />activities that may result in impacts to Bald or Golden Eagles, or their habitats, should follow <br />appropriate regulations and consider implementing appropriate avoidance and minimization <br />measures, as described in the various links on this page. <br />1. The Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act of 1940. <br />2. The Migratory Birds Treated of 1918. <br />3. 50 C.F.R. Sec. 10.12 and 16 U.S.C. Sec. 668(a) <br />There are Bald Eagles and/or Golden Eagles in your rn oject area. <br />Measures for Proactively Minimizing Eagle Impacts <br />For information on how to best avoid and minimize disturbance to nesting bald eagles, please <br />review the National Bald Eagle Management Guidelines. You may employ the timing and <br />activity -specific distance recommendations in this document when designing your project/ <br />activity to avoid and minimize eagle impacts. For bald eagle information specific to Alaska, <br />please refer to Bald Eagle Nesting and Sensitivity to Human Activity. <br />The FWS does not currently have guidelines for avoiding and minimizing disturbance to nesting <br />Golden Eagles. For site -specific recommendations regarding nesting Golden Eagles, please <br />consult with the appropriate Regional Migratory Bird Office or Ecological Services Field Office. <br />If disturbance or take of eagles cannot be avoided, an incidental take permit may be available to <br />authorize any take that results from, but is not the purpose of, an otherwise lawful activity. For <br />assistance making this determination for Bald Eagles, visit the Do I Need A Permit Tool. For <br />assistance making this determination for golden eagles, please consult with the appropriate <br />Regional Migratory Bird Office or Ecological Services Field Office. <br />Ensure Your Eagle List is Accurate and Complete <br />If your project area is in a poorly surveyed area in IPaC, your list may not be complete and you <br />may need to rely on other resources to determine what species may be present (e.g. your local <br />FWS field office, state surveys, your own surveys).
