ODOT Programmatic ESA Consultation on the Federal-Aid Highway Program (FAHP) User’s Guide Training, June-July 2013 Background & Purpose Emphasis on Programmatic Agreements Previous Programmatic outdated FHWA as the lead Federal Nexus (not Corps anymore) Increasing role of ODOT in Local Agency projects No stormwater coverage in SLOPES IV

ODOT Programmatic ESA Consultation on the Federal-Aid Highway Program (FAHP) User’s Guide Training, June-July 2013 Programmatic Goals Overall Goals 1.Improve the condition of the environmental baseline most directly impacted by the transportation program (e.g., habitat connectivity, water quality) 2.Avoid and minimize adverse impacts to federally-listed species and critical habitat 3.Decrease consultation time and associated costs

ODOT Programmatic ESA Consultation on the Federal-Aid Highway Program (FAHP) User’s Guide Training, June-July 2013 Communication Better tracking of project impacts…fewer actions need regulatory approval in future –Necessary for ODOT and Local Agency Greater transparency & communication

ODOT Programmatic ESA Consultation on the Federal-Aid Highway Program (FAHP) User’s Guide Training, June-July 2013 STEPS Document early coordination with Services (new requirement) Project Notification which may or may not require Service’s approval depending on action

ODOT Programmatic ESA Consultation on the Federal-Aid Highway Program (FAHP) User’s Guide Training, June-July 2013 Actions Requiring Service’s Approval (a) Actions with required mitigation such as: on-site stormwater treatment deficit, net increase in artificial fill or abandoned fill in the functional floodplain, unvegetated streambank riprap, any streambank riprap above OHW, in-stream flow control structures. (b) In-water work extension requests. (c) Fisheries restoration structures and/or fishways, including ladders, culvert retrofits, pool-riffle structures, and roughened chutes. (d) Weed control that does not meet herbicide treatment standards. (e) Blasting in/near aquatic habitats (only allowed when listed species will not be present5). (f) Bridge replacement that cannot meet fluvial performance or pile driving standards. (g) Stream channel modifications or waterway enhancements that do not meet design standards, such as fish passage retrofits, channel restoration, set-backs, and water control. (h) Stormwater flow management in a drainage basin that is less that 100 mi2. (i) Other modifications to FAHP design standards that may result in direct impacts to listed aquatic resources.

ODOT Programmatic ESA Consultation on the Federal-Aid Highway Program (FAHP) User’s Guide Training, June-July 2013 Actions that don’t require Service’s Approval (a) Work below ordinary high water (OHW) completed during the in-water work period. (b) Weed control near aquatic habitat that occurs manually or otherwise meets FAHP herbicide treatment design standards. (c) Bridge replacement that meets fluvial performance and pile driving standards. (d) Projects without stream channel or waterway enhancements, or projects with stream channel or waterway enhancement that meet design standards. (e) Projects that involve stormwater flow management in drainage basins larger than 100 mi2 that meet design standards. (f) Project may or may not involve minor modifications to buffer distances, riparian habitat impacts; or otherwise can be designed as per the FAHP.
