 Invasive Species  (PDF; 154 KB) 


STEP 1.  Is the proposed action or activity in an area where invasive species (plant or animal) are known to occur or where risk of an invasion exists?

NO [  ]                 YES [  ]                  UNKNOWN [  ]

  1. If your answer is "No,” additional evaluation is not needed concerning invasive species.  Document the finding on form NRCS-CPA-52 or equivalent and proceed with planning.

  2. If your answer is "Yes,” go to step 2.

  3. If your answer is “Unknown,” consult Section I of the FOTG (references and technical notes) and the appropriate local and state technical specialist for information on invasive species in the area or to determine the potential for introduction of new invasive species into the area.

STEP 2. Conduct an inventory of the invasive species and identify areas at risk for future invasions. Delineate these areas on the conservation plan map. Have all appropriate tools, techniques, management strategies, and risks for invasive species prevention, control, and management been considered in the planning process?

NO [  ]               YES [  ]

  1. If your answer is "No,” you must consider and include all appropriate factors relating to the existing and potential invasive species for the planning area and repeat step 2.

  2. If your answer is "Yes,” document the finding, including the reasons, on form NRCS-CPA-52 or equivalent and go to step 3.

STEP 3.  Will the proposed action or alternative likely cause or promote the introduction or spread of invasive species in the area?

NO [  ]              YES [  ]

  1. If your answer is "No,” additional evaluation is not needed concerning invasive species.  Document the finding on form NRCS-CPA-52 or equivalent and proceed with planning.

  2. If your answer is “Yes,” you must consider and include all appropriate factors relating to the existing and potential invasive species for the planning area and repeat step 2
