If you require a review of your project with a federal nexus (funding or permitting) for impacts to federally listed species or critical habitat, please use (Information for Planning and Consultation).� IPaC is an online project planning tool that streamlines the USFWS environmental review process.
If the information you find in IPaC leads your agency to a determination that the proposed project will have “no effect� on listed species(s), then no further correspondence is necessary.� Please retain the documentation generated from your IPaC review for your files.�
Consultation with our office on a project is necessary only when the information provided via IPaC leads you to a determination that the proposed project may affect a listed species or critical habitat. We also recommend that you coordinate with our office if your project may affect species proposed for such listing or proposed critical habitat. � In such cases and for all other inquiries, please contact us by email ([email protected] for Minnesota projects and [email protected] for Wisconsin projects) to be directed to the appropriate contact.  �
