Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
As authorized by Section 11(a) of the Illinois Endangered
				Species Protection Act (Ill. Rev. Stat. 1991, ch. 8, par. 341) [520 ILCS
				10/11 ] and by Section 17 of the Illinois Natural
				Areas Preservation Act [525
				ILCS 30/17 ], state and local units of government
				shall evaluate, through a consultation process with the Department, whether
				actions authorized, funded, or carried out by them, as defined in Section
				1075.30,
				are likely to jeopardize the continued existence or recovery of Illinois listed
				endangered or threatened species or are likely to result in the destruction or
				adverse modification of the essential habitat of such species or are likely to
				result in the adverse modification of a Natural Area. The proposed action shall
				not commence until the completion of the consultation process. This
				consultation process shall consist of the following:
a) After identifying a specific action
			 included in Section 1075.30, an agency shall complete and submit the Agency
			 Action Report to the Department. This shall be submitted as early in the
			 planning process as may be practicable and prior to approval of preliminary
			 plat, design, permit, plan, or project approval. The purpose of this report is
			 to identify the specific location of the project in order to determine if a
			 listed species or Natural Area is located within the vicinity of the proposed
			 action. The Agency Action Report shall include but not be limited to the
			 following:
1) name and address of agency
			 proposing the action;
2) the
			 responsible person within that agency;

Illinois Administrative Code › Title 17 - CONSERVATION › Part 1075 - CONSULTATION PROCEDURES FOR ASSESSING IMPACTS OF AGENCY ACTIONS ON ENDANGERED AND THREATENED SPECIES AND NATURAL AREAS › Section 1075.50 - Special Circumstances

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
a) When
			 a particular action involves more than one agency, these agencies may, upon
			 notification to the Department, fulfill their consultation requirements through
			 a single lead agency. Factors relevant in determining appropriate lead agency
			 include the time sequence in which agencies would become involved in the
			 action, the magnitude of their respective involvement, and their relative
			 expertise with respect to the environmental effects of the action.
b) In the case of complex actions, where the
			 Department and the agency determine that additional information is needed
			 concerning the listed species or Natural Area and/or the action, the period for
			 the agency to prepare the Detailed Action Report, and the Department to
			 formulate the biological opinion, may be extended by mutual agreement. During
			 this extension, an agency shall make no irreversible or irretrievable
			 commitments of resources that would foreclose implementation of any reasonable
			 and prudent alternative prior to issuance of a biological opinion.
c) The consultation process shall be modified
			 for the review of rezoning applications (See Section
			 1075.30(a)(8)
			 ):
1) The Agency Action Report shall be
			 submitted for review as required in Section
			 1075.40(a).
2) If no listed species or Natural Area is
			 known to be present, a letter of notification of the termination of the
			 consultation process shall be sent within thirty days.
3) If a listed species or Natural Area is
			 identified, the information shall be provided for consideration in the decision
			 to grant the request for rezoning. This information shall be made a matter of
			 public record.
4) The consultation
			 process will not proceed until development of that parcel is under
			 consideration. At that time, the agency shall submit to the Department a
			 Detailed Action Report and continue the consultation process as defined in
			 Section
			 1075.40(c) through
			 (j).

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
Two types of emergency conditions may exist that require
				special treatment:
a) Where emergency
			 circumstances pose an immediate threat to human life, or severe loss of
			 property is imminent from situations involving acts of God, disasters,
			 casualties, or national defense or security emergencies, and action must be
			 taken immediately, the agency can proceed without notifying the Department
			 prior to taking action. The consultation process shall be initiated as soon as
			 practicable after the emergency is under control, but not to exceed 30 calendar
			 days. The agency shall submit a Detailed Action Report, which shall include
			 information on the nature of the emergency actions, the justification for
			 requiring immediate action, and any adverse impacts to a listed species or its
			 essential habitat or a Natural Area that may have resulted. The Department
			 shall evaluate such information and issue a biological opinion, including the
			 information and recommendations given during the emergency
			 consultation.
b) Where emergency
			 circumstances pose a threat to human life or loss of property and the action
			 must commence within 30 days, the agency may request permission to commence the
			 action without undergoing the consultation process prior to the action. The
			 agency shall contact the Department prior to commencing the action and explain
			 the nature of the problem. The Department shall determine whether a listed
			 species or Natural Area is present within the vicinity of the action and notify
			 the agency in writing. One of two courses of action shall then be taken:
1) if no listed species or their essential
			 habitats or Natural Areas are present, the action may commence and the
			 consultation process is terminated; or
2) if a listed species or its essential
			 habitat or a Natural Area is present within the vicinity of the project,
			 alternatives shall be discussed to avoid or minimize the adverse impacts prior
			 to commencement of the action.
