Public Scoping Meetings for Proposed Habitat Conservation Plan

The Oregon Department of Forestry (Applicant) has begun the development of a Habitat Conservation Plan (Plan) for state forest lands managed by the Applicant. The Applicant intends to submit the Plan to the Fish and Wildlife Service and National Marine Fisheries Service (collectively, ``the Services''), along with an application for an incidental take permit under section 10(a)(1)(B) of the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (Act). This notice advises the public that the Services and Applicant have scheduled a series of public meetings to inform the public of a proposed Plan and the process of application for incidental take permits. The Services are seeking suggestions and information from other agencies and the public on the scope of issues related to the development of a Plan, including the range of alternatives that should be considered in the environmental review documents required under the National Environmental Policy Act. Public input may be written or oral (if provided at any of the public meetings). Information on dates and deadlines is provided below.
