USFWS Seeking Public Input on Eagle-KILL permits to the Wind Industry

USFWS Seeking Public Input on 30-Year Eagle-KILL permits to the Wind Industry

 

The United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) is asking for public input as to whether they should extend “non-purposeful” or “incidental” “take permits” from the current 5 years to 30 years.USFWS is also looking at a number of other important changes in how they interpret and enforce the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act (or not) through the issuance of permits. There are problems with both existing practice and the currently proposed changes.

We need citizens to attend one of the five public meetings and/or provide written comments to the USFWS.
