The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (the Service), North Dakota Field Office (NDFO) have developed these conservation recommendations to provide options to avoid impacts to species protected under the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.) (ESA), as well as other trust wildlife resources. We encourage project proponents contact us on specific project level effects as there is flexibility on how these measures may be applied, and these general recommendations are not a substitute for consultation requirements under section 7 of the ESA.
