Section 7 Consultation Package Including PBO
-
This letter transmits the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s (Service) programmatic Endangered Species Act (ESA) section 7 consultation package, including a programmatic biological opinion (PBO), based on the Service’s review of your agencies’ proposal to permit, fund, or carry out specific activities associated with road-stream crossings in Maine. This programmatic consultation is a collaborative effort by our three agencies with the specific goal of contributing to the conservation and recovery of the endangered Atlantic salmon by addressing the threats to aquatic habitat connectivity and fish passage associated with many existing road-stream crossings in Maine.

USFWS Programmatic Stream Crossing Consultation
-
USFWS, FEMA, and USACE in Maine have collaborated on a programmatic Endangered Species Act section 7 consultation that will facilitate recovery of the endangered Atlantic salmon and promote healthy stream ecosystems. Poorly designed stream crossings have long been recognized as a problem for Atlantic salmon and other native aquatic organisms in Maine. While progress has certainly been made to address this issue on a variety of fronts, including outreach and education, more work remains to be done.
