WHY ?“Capstone” performance measures: >85% on time & >90% on
budget
Approximately 50 stream projects per work plan year require consultation under ESA for Atlantic salmon
Even with MaineDOT transportation liaison, only 7 consultations were completed by USFWS in 2015…averaging 185 days
Directive to “push back” led to strained relationships inside and out

Still on the table…Can in lieu fees be prorated?
(SHRUs accessible post-project – SHRUs accessible pre-project) x Z habitat unit cost
Will projects be re-scoped rather than pay in lieu fees?Does Habitat Connectivity Design function as
intended?Will ability to deliver offset increased costs?
….Stay tuned!!
