(a) If the Department determines, pursuant to section 2080.1 of the Fish and Game Code, that an incidental take statement or permit for coho salmon issued by the Secretary of Commerce for proposed timber operations is consistent with CESA, no further authorization or approval is necessary.
(b) Regardless of whether the Department first makes a determination regarding the take of coho salmon, the Department and any project proponent who intends to meet the requirements of the Natural Community Conservation Planning Act (Fish and Game Code section 2800 et seq) may enter into a planning agreement pursuant to section 2810. The planning agreement must include an interim process during plan development for project review. The interim process may include measures for timber operations or activities which the Department concludes will avoid take. Timber operations or activities carried out in accordance with any such interim process that avoids take will not require an incidental take permit under section 2081 of the Fish and Game Code.
