According to local U.S. Fish & Wildlife biologist, applicants can expect to receive Batch IV (ITP) Incidental Take Permits in the next 60 to 90 days. This process takes a tremendous amount of time. Like with any other government agency there is no way to hurry this process. We will feel good to expect these permits by spring.
At this time we feel it could take years to get an ITP if you are not in Batch IV. Fish & Wildlife biologist have informed us that there will be “No Future Speculative Permits”. They have refused applications and we are not sure when they will even begin accepting future applications.
