Development of the Biological Assessment is one of the first steps in Reclamation’s required compliance with the federal Endangered Species Act as part of the Reinitation of Consultation on the Long-Term Operation of the CVP and SWP. The assessment evaluates potential effects of operating the CVP and SWP on federally listed species and proposed species, as well as designated and proposed critical habitat.
The meeting will be held virtually on Microsoft Teams and cover information received during the public scoping process.
