Threatened and Endangered Species Consultation

The intent of the Nebraska Nongame and Endangered Species Conservation Act is to conserve species of wildlife for human enjoyment, for scientific purposes and to insure their perpetuation as viable components of their ecosystems.  According to section 37-807(3) All other state agencies shall, in consultation with and with the assistance of the Nebraska Game and Parks Commission, utilize their authorities in furtherance of the purposes of the act by carrying out programs for the conservation of endangered species and threatened species listed pursuant to section 37-806 and by taking such action necessary to insure that actions authorized, funded or carried out by them do not jeopardize the continued existence of such endangered or threatened species or result in the destruction or modification

For a threatened and endangered species consultation, send a letter with the project description.  The project description should include the entire project, and  the component needing a state permit.  The project location needs to include the legal description (section, township, range) and a map.  Threatened and endangered species reviews are completed in the order they are received.  The approximate turnaround time is 30 days and there is no expedited option.  Hard copies sent via mail are the preferred method.
