VAFO establishes utilitarian endangered species website to streamline workload
Northeast Region, August 18, 2005
Print Friendly Version
The Virginia Field Office has created a website with endangered species information designed to assist project proponents with endangered species reviews. VAFO hopes that by posting the most requested information, applicants and consultants will be able to do first-order reviews on the web without contacting the office. This streamlining measure will allow us to focus on higher priority projects. The website is http://virginiafieldoffice.fws.gov (then hit the endangered species button). The website contains the following information: 1) statewide list of federally listed species and species of concern, 2) statewide description of federally designated critical habitat county lists of federally listed species, 3) bald eagle protection guidelines (joint document with Va Dept Game & Inland Fisheries), 4) species fact sheets guidelines for how long a survey is valid, 5) lists of pre-approved surveyors, by species, 6) guidelines on how to get on a pre-approved surveyor list, 7) guidelines regarding communication towers, 8) explanation of the project review process, 9) contact information with the appropriate state agencies
