Much like the ecological resources discussed during one of my previous blog entries, endangered species are an issue that needs to be highlighted during a Phase One Environmental Site Assessment during development activities, if pertinent.
Again, many state and local agencies regulated the disturbance of certain habitats of recognized endangered species or those that provide ideal conditions for endangered/threatened species.

Not a part of a Phase One Environmental Site Assessment, but on a federal level:

"The National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) requires federal agencies to integrate environmental values into their decision making processes by considering the environmental impacts of their proposed actions and reasonable alternatives to those actions.
To meet NEPA requirements federal agencies prepare a detailed statement known as an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS). EPA reviews and comments on EISs prepared by other federal agencies, maintains a national filing system for all EISs, and assures that its own actions comply with NEPA."
