incidental take of listed species caused
by the construction and operation of
Champlin’s proposed Na Pua Makani
Project (Project) near Kahuku, Hawaii,

Background
Section 9 of the ESA and the
implementing regulations for the ESA in
the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) at
50 CFR part 17 prohibit the ‘‘take’’ of
fish or wildlife species listed as
endangered or threatened. Take of listed
fish or wildlife is defined under the ESA
as ‘‘to harass, harm, pursue, hunt, shoot,
wound, kill, trap, capture, or collect, or
to attempt to engage in any such
conduct’’ (16 U.S.C. 1532). The term
‘‘harass’’ is defined in the regulations as
‘‘an intentional or negligent act or
omission which creates the likelihood of
injury to wildlife by annoying it to such
an extent as to significantly disrupt
normal behavioral patterns which
include, but are not limited to, breeding,
feeding, or sheltering’’ (50 CFR 17.3).
The term ‘‘harm’’ is defined in the
regulations as ‘‘an act which actually
kills or injures wildlife. Such act may
include significant habitat modification
or degradation where it actually kills or
injures wildlife by significantly
impairing essential behavioral patterns,
including breeding, feeding, and
sheltering’’ (50 CFR 17.3).
Under limited circumstances, we
issue permits to authorize incidental
take—i.e., take that is incidental to, and
not the purpose of, the carrying out of
an otherwise lawful activity.
Regulations governing ITPs for
threatened and endangered species are
found at 50 CFR 17.32 and 17.22,
respectively. In addition to meeting
other criteria, an ITP must not
jeopardize the continued existence of
federally listed threatened or
endangered species. Section 10(a)(1)(B)
of the ESA contains provisions for
issuing such ITPs to non-Federal
entities for the take of endangered and
threatened species, provided the permit
and related conservation plan meet the
following criteria: (1) The taking will be
incidental; (2) the applicant will, to the
maximum extent practicable, minimize
and mitigate the impact of such taking;
(3) the applicant ensures that adequate
funding for the plan will be provided;
(4) the taking will not appreciably
reduce the likelihood of the survival
and recovery of the species in the wild;
