Title: Avoid stressful actions near Bald Eagle habitat during nesting or rearing young
Text: "Federally Protected Species - Bald Eagles: Nest sites and winter roost areas within habitat for Bald Eagles (143,421 acres): In areas that contain habitat for the bald eagle, actions will be avoided or restricted that may cause stress and disturbance during nesting and rearing of their young. Appropriate measures will depend on whether the action is temporary or permanent, and whether it occurs within or outside the bald eagle breeding or roosting season. A temporary action is completed prior to the following breeding or roosting season leaving no permanent structures and resulting in no permanent habitat loss. A permanent action continues for more than one breeding or roosting season and/or causes a loss of eagle habitat or displaces eagles through disturbances, i.e., creation of a permanent structure."
