Current through Register Vol. 63, No. 6, June 1, 2024
Section 635-100-0170 - Incidental Take Permits
(1) Except as provided in this rule, the department may issue a permit to any person for the incidental take of a state-listed threatened or endangered species if it determines that such take will not adversely impact the long-term conservation of the species or its habitat. The department may issue the permit under such terms, conditions and time periods necessary to minimize the impact on the species or its habitat. An incidental take permit may be issued for individuals of more than one state-listed species.
(2) To request an incidental take permit, the person shall submit an application and provide the information required on the form provided by the department. If the department is seeking an incidental take permit, it shall make application to the commission on the same form and under the same standards as provided in section (2) of this rule.
(3) An incidental take permit shall not be issued for any species listed under the federal ESA. An incidental take permit or statement issued by a federal agency shall be considered a waiver of any state protection measures or requirements otherwise applicable to the actions allowed by the federal agency.
(4) Notwithstanding subsection (1) of this rule, an incidental take permit may be granted for activities which affect listed coho that do not significantly decrease the likelihood that the fish will recover.
