    Lynker is hiring an ESA Section 7 Consultation Biologist to support the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) California Central Valley Office (CCVO). The CCVO responsibilities focus on the Sacramento and San Joaquin River basins and Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta. The office works to protect species listed under the Endangered Species Act (ESA) by evaluating the impact of proposed federal actions, developing recovery plans, seeking conservation partnerships with local governments and landowners, and ensuring safe fish passage past federal and some private dams. The Consultation Biologist shall assist the NMFS West Coast Region (WCR) Central Valley Office in performing section 7(a)(2) consultations by carrying out activities associated with the review of various projects submitted to NMFS by other federal agencies pursuant to section 7(a)(2) of the ESA. Prior to permitting, funding, or conducting activities that may affect species listed under the ESA, federal agencies must perform a section 7(a)(2) consultation with NMFS to ensure their actions do not jeopardize the continued existence of listed species.

    The Consultation Biologist shall assist with tracking all FEMA project review requests under the Memorandum of Understanding regarding National Environmental Policy Act, Endangered Species Act, Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act, National Historic Preservation Act, Rivers and Harbors Act Section 10 Act, and Clean Water Act Section 404 Permits for Federal Emergency Management Agency Emergency (FEMA) Projects in California, Nevada and Arizona with U.S. Department of Homeland Securities FEMA and U.S Army Corps of Engineers, the U.S Fish and Wildlife Service and the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS).

Technical assistance is defined as pre-consultation assistance, which includes meetings, emails, phone calls and other correspondence with the action agency in order to determine impacts of federal actions on Endangered Species managed by the NMFS in California (green sturgeon, salmon, steelhead, abalone and eulachon). These actions include the issuance of a federal permit or funding for land and water repair projects, infrastructure repair projects (levees and bridges), or habitat restoration projects, or the completion of such projects by a local or state agency funded by FEMA.

    Review and evaluate FEMA-related proposed projects and applications pursuant to section 7(a)(2) of the ESA. This may include review of data sets, reports, or other documents produced by non-governmental organizations, or state or federal entities including but not limited to the California Office of Environmental Services, the California Department of Fish and Wildlife Service, the United States Fish and Wildlife Service, the United States Bureau of Reclamation, and the California Department of Water Resources.

    Evaluate and analyze effects of proposed actions, conservation measures, and mitigation activities on ESA-listed salmon, steelhead, and green sturgeon, black abalone, eulachon and their habitat.

    Develop recommendations on ways to minimize adverse effects to ESA listed fish and their habitat associated with proposed activities for FEMA emergency response. This may include working with local governmental agencies such as counties, cities, water districts, reclamation districts throughout the state of California.

    Develop written environmental and procedural documents including drafting section 7(a)(2) consultation letters and biological opinions, transmittal memos, programmatic biological opinions, and other written documents as needed to provide support for FEMA emergency response activities.

    Compile complete administrative records necessary to support the projects worked on. Participate in meetings and/or site visits concerning projects assigned with nongovernmental organizations, or state or federal entities including but not limited to the California Office of Environmental Services, the California Department of Fish and Wildlife Service, the United States Fish and Wildlife Service, the United States Bureau of Reclamation, FEMA, and the California Department of Water Resources.
