The Migratory Birds Treaty Act of 1918. <br /> 2. The Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act of 1940. <br /> Additional information can be found using the following links: <br /> • Eagle Management https://www.fws.gov/program/eagle-management <br /> • Measures for avoiding and minimizing impacts to birds <br /> https://www.fws.gov/library/collections/avoiding-and-minimizing-incidental-take- <br /> migratory-birds <br /> • Nationwide conservation measures for birds https://www.fws.gov/sites/default/files/ <br /> documents/nationwide-standard-conservation-measures.pdf <br /> • Supplemental Information for Migratory Birds and Eagles in IPaC <br /> https://www.fws.gov/media/supplemental-information-migratory-birds-and-bald-and- <br /> golden-eagles-may-occur-project-action <br /> a NL 30 <br /> Migratory bird information is not available at this time <br /> 10< 'Y <br /> Tell me more about conservation measures I can implement to avoid or minimize impacts to migratory <br /> birds. k, P <br /> Nationwide Conservation Measures describes measures that can help avoid and minimize impacts to all <br /> birds at any location year round. Implementation of these measures is particularly important when birds <br /> are most likely to occur in the project area. When birds may be breeding in the area, identifying the <br /> locations of any active nests and avoiding their destruction is a very helpful impact minimization measure. <br /> To see when birds are most likely to occur and be breeding in your project area, view the Probability of <br /> Presence Summary. Additional measures or permits may be advisable depending on the type of activity <br /> you are conducting and the type of infrastructure or bird species present on your project site. <br /> What does IPaC use to generate the list of migratory birds that potentially occur in my specified <br /> location? <br /> The Migratory Bird Resource List is comprised of USFWS Birds of Conservation Concern (BCC)and other <br /> species that may warrant special attention in your project location. <br /> 9-73 <br /> https://ipac.ecosphere.fws.gov/location/ASLN66VVLJEY5N60ZGVRFTAEAE/resources 7/11 <br />
