INL Conservation Management Plan (CMP)

The purpose of the Conservation Management Plan (CMP) is to assist the Department of Energy, Idaho Operations Office federal staff in understanding the INL ecosystem in order to enhance federal decision-making and to more properly direct future work performed by the INL contractors. The CMP is intended to minimize disruption to routine site operations and INL Completion Project activities as well as better position the DOE to offer the INL as an attractive site for new projects through considered and deliberate management of sensitive, threatened, and endangered species and associated habitat.
