Wickham Summerbrook, LLC
Wickham Summerbrook, LLC is
requesting take of approximately 4.64 ac
of occupied Florida scrub-jay foraging
and sheltering habitat incidental to
construction of a commercial
development, and they seek a 5-year
permit. The 8.98-ac project is located on
parcel #26–37–31–00–00262.0–0000.00
within Section 31, Township 26 South
and Range 37 East, Brevard County,
Florida. The project includes
construction of a commercial
development and the associated
infrastructure, and landscaping. The
applicant proposes to mitigate for the
take of the Florida scrub-jay through the
preservation of approximately 9.5 acres
of high-quality Florida scrub-jay habitat
within the Valkaria Site of the Brevard
Coastal Scrub Ecosystem. The Applicant
will preserve and donate six currently
unencumbered parcels (Brevard County
tax account numbers 2955405, 2955273,
2955322, 2955313, 2955314, and
2954810) to the Brevard County
Environmentally Endangered Lands
(EEL) Program so that these parcels can
be managed and maintained as suitable
Florida scrub-jay habitat in perpetuity.
The Applicant will also provide the EEL
Program with a $1,200.00/acre (totaling
$11,400.00) management endowment to
ensure the continued success of
monitoring and maintaining these lands
as suitable Florida scrub-jay habitat.
Our Preliminary Determination
We have determined that the
applicants’ proposals, including the
proposed mitigation and minimization
measures, would have minor or
negligible effects on the species covered
in their HCPs. Therefore, we determined
that the ITPs for each of the applicants
are ‘‘low-effect’’ projects and qualify for
categorical exclusion under the National
Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), as
provided by the Department of the
Interior Manual (516 DM 2 Appendix 1
and 516 DM 6 Appendix 1). A low-effect
HCP is one involving (1) Minor or
negligible effects on federally listed or
candidate species and their habitats,
and (2) minor or negligible effects on
other environmental values or
resources.
