• Abstract:
  The Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) owns and maintains facilities that have or are located near nesting territories for the American peregrine falcon (Falco peregrinus anatum), which is listed as endangered in Oregon. This document will serve as internal guidance for ODOT to maintain species productivity and to minimize the effects on nesting peregrines from maintenance, construction, and other ODOT permitted activities on ODOT bridges, highways and facilities near peregrine falcon nesting territories. This Management Plan has been prepared pursuant to Oregon State Administrative Rules (OAR) 635-100-0140, which directs certain state agencies to prepare plans to protect state-listed endangered species which occur on property managed by the state agency. This Management Plan is intended to serve as a tool for coordinating activities between ODOT, which is responsible for maintaining state-owned bridges, and the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife (ODFW), which administers the state ESA for fish and wildlife. The state definition of take encompasses possessing, hunting, or killing adults or offspring of a listed species, including eggs. Statewide implementation of this Plan will provide ODOT personnel with specific guidelines to avoid take of peregrine falcons that nest on ODOT bridges and facilities. However, incidental take may not be completely avoidable when a maintenance or construction activity which is necessary to keep the structure safe for the traveling public is in direct conflict with nesting peregrine falcons. This Management Plan not only describes how ODOT intends to avoid take, but also proposes actions that will minimize take in the event that avoidance is not possible.
