ALL DRAFT DOCUMENTS POSTED ON THIS PAGE ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE

The resource assessments posted here are intended to summarize information on the species, habitats, and growth and development patterns that will support the development of the SEP-HCP and the accompanying Environmental Impact Statement.

Estimates of anticipated impacts to habitat for the covered species are also posted here. These impacts analyses provide the basis for determining the overall need for the plan and the amount of incidental take authorization to request.

We welcome suggestions and comments on these documents. Please submit comments on draft documents to info@sephcp.com.
