Revised by Lexis/Nexis

10. Vermont endangered and threatened species rule

1.0 Authority

This rule is adopted pursuant to 10 V.S.A. 5402 and 5408 which provides that the Secretary "shall adopt by rule a state-endangered species list and a state threatened species list, and may adopt rules for the protection and conservation of endangered and threaten species."

2.0 Purpose

The purpose of this rule is to identify and list species of wild plants and animals that have been determined by the Secretary to be endangered and threatened in Vermont so that they may be protected under the law. The rule also sets out a process for Takings and Possession permits.

3.0 Definitions

3.1 Endangered Species means those species whose continued existence as viable components of the state's wild flora or fauna is determined to be in jeopardy or determined to be an "endangered species" under the federal Endangered Species Act.

3.2 Listed Species means any species that appears on the List in Section 5.0 this or has been determined to threatened or endangered by other relevant law.

3.3 Secretary means the Secretary of the Agency of Natural Resources except where otherwise specified.

3.4 Take and taking" mean: pursuing, shooting, hunting, killing, capturing, trapping, snaring and netting fish, birds and quadrupeds and all lesser acts, such as disturbing, harrying or worrying or wounding or placing, setting, drawing or using any net or other device commonly used to take fish or wild animals, whether they result in the taking or not; and shall include every attempt to take and every act of assistance to every other person in taking or attempting to take fish or wild animals, provided that when taking is allowed by law, reference is had to taking by lawful means and in lawful manner. With respect to wild plants, Take and taking means uprooting, transplanting, cutting, injuring or killing or any attempt to do the same or assisting another who is doing or is attempting to do the same.

3.5 Threatened Species means those species likely within the foreseeable future to become Endangered, or determined to be a threatened species under the federal Endangered Species Act.

4.0 Permits for Taking and Possession

4.1 No person shall take or possess an endangered or threatened species, except when exempted as provided for in 10 V.S.A. 5408.

4.2 Pursuant to 10 V.S.A. 5408(a) the Secretary may, after receiving the advice of the Endangered Species Committee, grant permits for the taking and possession of an endangered or threatened species: for scientific purposes; to enhance the propagation of species; to prevent or mitigate economic hardship; for zoological exhibition; for educational purposes; or for special purpose consistent with the purpose of the Federal Endangered Species Act (see 16 U.S.C. 1531(b)).

4.3 An applicant for a Takings and Possession permit shall submit an administratively complete application to the Secretary, specifying for which purpose(s) the permit is required, as listed in 10 V.S.A. 5408(a).

4.4 An administratively complete application shall include all information deemed necessary by the Secretary to evaluate the application. An application shall include a description of the possible impacts due to the proposed action and a plan for conservation or mitigation. The fee or mitigation proposal as required by 10 V.S.A. ch. 123 shall accompany the application.

4.5 Avoidance and Minimization

a. Applicants for Takings and Possession permits shall have the burden to show that reasonable steps have been taken in to avoid and minimize takings. The Applicant shall provide information that demonstrates:

i. The proposed activity cannot practicably be designed to avoid taking and still satisfy the basic project purpose; and

ii. If avoidance of taking of a listed species cannot practicably be achieved, the proposed activity has been planned to minimize adverse impacts on the listed species.

b. The Secretary may require an applicant to submit additional information that the Secretary considers necessary to make a decision on the issuance or denial of a permit. The Secretary may dismiss the application without prejudice if the requested information is not provided to the Secretary within sixty (60) days of the Secretary s request.

c. In determining whether the burden has been met, the Secretary shall evaluate the potential effect of any proposed activity on the basis of both its direct and immediate effects, as well as on the basis of any cumulative or on-going effects on the listed species.

4.6 Mitigation

a. Mitigation may be required when full compliance with the requirements of 4.5 of this rule is insufficient to achieve no taking.

i. Mitigation may include permanent conservation of habitat in which the same species exists, ongoing monitoring of conserved areas, and treatment of conserved areas for the purposes of restoration or propagation of listed species.

ii. The mitigation may also include payment of fees to a state in-lieu fee program or mitigation fund approved by the Secretary.

4.7 Hearings

a. The Secretary may conduct a non-adversarial, public hearing in order to evaluate the application. Such a hearing will be held within 60 (sixty) days of the receipt of the administratively complete application.

When a petition has been denied and no public hearing has been held, the Applicant may request in writing to the Secretary that a hearing be held regarding the proposed activity. The Secretary will conduct a hearing within 30 days of receipt of the request.

4.8 Permit Conditions

The Secretary may require, as part of any issued permit, conditions for the protection and conservation of endangered species, per 10 V.S.A. ch. 123.

4.9 The Secretary shall inform an applicant of a decision to approve or a deny a permit no more than 60 (sixty) days following an application being deemed administratively complete unless the Secretary determines there is just cause.

4.10 The Secretary maintains continuing jurisdiction over activities permitted under this rule and may, at any time, order the permittee to undertake remedial measures to ensure the protection and conservation of listed species.
