Regulatory Context

California BAs often run ESA §7 and CESA in parallel. USFWS field offices split the state; NMFS owns anadromous fish. NCCP/HCP coverage can change the effects analysis. BAs that skip CESA fully protected species, vernal-pool crustaceans, or NMFS hydro effects get bounced. Atlensa checks the BA against the wetland delineation, the CEQA bio chapter, and the consultation record.
