Agency Review 

 Section IV 



A. The proposed material site location and accompanying work plan should 

 be reviewed by appropriate agencies to evaluate the compatibility of the 

 project with the environment. This review should consider disapproval 

 or modification of the work plan if the material site directly affects 

 areas or species of special concern. Examples of such areas or species 

 i nc I ude : 



1. Threatened or endangered species and their habitats that are deemed 

 essential to the survival or recovery of these species that are 

 recognized by Federal and State governments. A current listing of 

 species and information as to their distribution may be obtained 

 from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service or the State Fish and Game 

 agency. Sites affecting these species or their habitats may be 

 prohibited, or require substantial justification. 



2. Habitats limiting local populations (such as fish spawning and 

 overwintering habitats, Da I I sheep lambing areas or raptor nesting 

 habitats). Sites directly affecting these habitats should not be 

 considered further unless alternate sites are not available. 



3. Undercut vegetated banks and associated riparian zones 



4. Incised vegetated banks and associated riparian zones, except for 

 properly utilized access by fill ramps 



5. Springs
