Environmental Reviews for Natural Resources
In response to a request for Environmental Review for Natural Resources, the Department will search records for state - and federal - listed endangered or threatened species, rare natural communities, sensitive habitat, and state lands and waters in a proposed project area. Current list of endangered, threatened, and special concern species:
According to Iowa Administrative Code 481A and 481B, a person shall not take, possess, kill, trap or ensnare, transport, import, export, process, sell or offer for sale, buy or offer to buy, nor shall a common or contract carrier transport or receive for shipment, any species plant or animal on the state list.
The letter of review does not constitute a permit. Other permits may be required from the Department or other state or federal agencies in advance of work. To expedite review of projects with a large physical footprint, such as wind energy developments, the Department recommends that a GIS shapefile of the project boundary is included with the request for review. The shapefile must be projected in NAD 83, UTM Zone 15N. The Department accepts requests for review via postal mail and e-mail. Questions about the Environmental Review process may be directed to Inga Foster at (515) 281-8967 or Inga.Foster@dnr.iowa.gov. Environmental Review for Natural Resources
For more information about state lands and waters, please refer to the Sovereign Lands Construction Permit program webpage. The
Iowa Natural Areas Inventory maintains an educational version of a database open to public viewing. Using the query page, you may create a map showing the distribution of individual species among counties across the state and you may also generate a list of species within individual counties. Information about specific areas is available from the Environmental Review program.
