NAVAO Navigation Dept of Fish & Wildlife Biological Resource Clearance Process

This document is a visual flowchart and process map depicting the Navigation Department of Fish & Wildlife (NAVAO) biological resource clearance procedure. The chart illustrates a multi-step clearance process involving six primary stages: (1) BRG Determination, (2) RFI/HTRP Screening, (3) Scoping, (4) 30-Day Consultation Review, (5) History Preservation (NNHP), and (6) Indian Affairs Bureau consultation. The document shows how different environmental and biological assessments feed into clearance decisions, with specific reference points including Statement of Objectives (SOO), Statement of Purpose (STP), Statement of Environmental and Wildlife Background Resources (STP 4), and Statement of Expected Findings (STF 5).

The process emphasizes coordination across multiple stakeholder groups and regulatory checkpoints. Key contact information is provided for the NAVAO office, including a mailing address and telephone number (928-871-7398). The document also references involvement of the NHC (National Heritage Center), Maricopa County Parks Department, and other federal entities. The clearance procedure appears designed to ensure comprehensive environmental review, biological resource assessment, and compliance with federal wildlife protection requirements before project authorization. No specific contract values, award dates, or response deadlines are indicated in this process documentation.
