Such plan shall provide protection from the potential adverse impact of any discharge on the habitat of threatened or endangered species and the mitigation of potential damage to wetlands in reasonable proximity to the facility. Such plan shall contain provisions for the rehabilitation of animals damaged by the discharge of petroleum.
