| Habitat Conservation Plan for Western Snowy Plovers (HCP) & Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) |
 |
 |
| Introduction |
|
***HCP has been approved by the Oregon Parks and Recreation Commission***
The final HCP was approved for submittal to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. The department will work on the implementation agreement through the fall, before the final HCP and EIS are put out for public review.
Copies of the plans may be viewed in the section below. For more information contact: Laura Todd (541) 867-4558 or Kathy Schutt (503) 986-0745.
The Habitat Conservation Plan (HCP) is a federal planning process that can provide OPRD with protection from federal actions for approved activities for Oregon's Ocean Shores. Because approval of the HCP is a federal action, an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) is being prepared to assess the HCP. OPRD has hired Jones & Stokes to complete the EIS.
