EPA Document on Endangered Species Act Compliance

The EPA has made available a collection of documents pertaining to Endangered Species Act (ESA) compliance, with a focus on the NTEC Generation Plant. These attachments include updated species lists (NMESFO) dated September 25, 2025, and January 8, 2026, an email to the US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) requesting informal consultation, and a draft Biological Assessment for the NTEC Generation Plant dated January 27, 2026.

These documents appear to be part of the EPA's process for ensuring compliance with the ESA for projects that may affect listed species. While the main document itself is unavailable, the attachments suggest ongoing consultation and assessment activities. Regulated entities involved in similar projects should note the types of documentation being exchanged, such as species lists and biological assessments, and the engagement with USFWS for informal consultation.
