policy, which applies to any person or

SUMMARY: This notice announces the
availability of the Recirculated Draft
Coachella Valley Multiple Species
Habitat Conservation Plan/Natural
Community Conservation Plan
(MSHCP), Supplement to the Final
Environmental Impact Statement/
Recirculated Draft Environmental
Impact Report (EIS/EIR), and
Implementing Agreement for public
review and comment. The Coachella
Valley Association of Governments
(CVAG), Coachella Valley Conservation
Commission, County of Riverside,
Riverside County Flood Control and
Water Conservation District, Riverside
County Parks and Open Space District,
Riverside County Waste Management
District, Coachella Valley Water District,
Imperial Irrigation District, California
Department of Transportation,
California Department of Parks and
Recreation, Coachella Valley Mountains
Conservancy, and the cities of Cathedral
City, Coachella, Indian Wells, Indio, La
Quinta, Palm Desert, Palm Springs, and
Rancho Mirage (Applicants) applied to
the Fish and Wildlife Service (Service)
for an incidental take permit pursuant to
section 10(a)(1)(B) of the Endangered
Species Act of 1973, as amended (Act).
The Applicants also seek a Section 2835
permit under the California Natural
VerDate Aug<31>2005
15:49 Mar 29, 2007
Jkt 211001
Community Conservation Planning Act
of 2002. The Applicants are requesting
a permit to incidentally take 22 animal
species and seeking assurances for 5
plant species, including 17 unlisted
species should any of them become
listed under the Act during the
proposed 75-year term of the permit.
The permit is needed to authorize
incidental take of listed animal species
(including harm, injury, and
harassment) during development in the
approximately 1.10 million-acre (1,719square mile) Plan Area in the Coachella
Valley of Riverside County, California.
The MSHCP also incorporates a
Public Use and Trails Plan which
includes proposals that address nonmotorized recreation activities on
Federal and non-Federal lands in the
Santa Rosa and San Jacinto Mountains.
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM)
is a Cooperating Agency in this
planning process and will use this EIS/
EIR to make decisions on BLMadministered public lands pertaining to
trail use in the Santa Rosa and San
Jacinto Mountains. The proposals
constitute activity (implementation)
level actions in furtherance of the
California Desert Conservation Area
Plan (1980), as amended, and the Santa
Rosa and San Jacinto Mountains
National Monument Management Plan
(2004). The BLM will issue a separate
Record of Decision regarding nonmotorized recreation activities on public
lands.
A Supplement to the Final
Environmental Impact Statement, which
is the Federal portion of the EIS/EIR,
has been prepared jointly by the Service
and CVAG, along with the biological
consultant, to analyze the impacts of the
MSHCP and is also available for public
review. The analyses provided in the
EIS/EIR are intended to inform the
public of the proposed action,
alternatives, and associated impacts;
disclose the direct, indirect, and
cumulative environmental effects of the
proposed action and each of the
alternatives; and indicate any
irreversible commitment of resources
that would result from implementation
of the proposed action. All of the
alternatives in the EIS/EIR are the same
as the alternatives identified in the Final
MSHCP and Final EIS/EIS, dated
February 6, 2006, with one exception:
the Preferred Alternative without the
City of Palm Springs is no longer
included.
The Service and the cooperating
agency issued a notice of intent to
prepare an EIS/EIR for the proposed
MSHCP, on June 28, 2000 (65 FR
39920); a notice of availability of the
Draft EIS/EIR for the proposed MSHCP
PO 00000
Frm 00054
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
on November 5, 2004 (69 FR 64581);
and a notice of availability of the Final
EIS/EIR for the proposed MSHCP on
April 21, 2006 (71 FR 20719).
The Service is issuing this notice to
advise the public of revisions to the
MSHCP and associated EIS/EIR which
includes the following primary changes:
(1) Removing the City of Desert Hot
Springs as an Applicant;
(2) including a Riverside County
Flood Control/Water Conservation
District flood control project as a
Covered Activity within the Morongo
Wash area, if the project meets the
MSHCP’s biological goals and objectives
for the Covered Species and the
biological goals and objectives for
maintaining fluvial sand transport and
providing an adequate corridor for
habitat connectivity;
(3) identifying the revised Santa Rosa
and San Jacinto Mountains Trails Plan
as the chosen trails management
alternative in the EIS/EIR. The Plan is
structured to be consistent with larger
recovery efforts for the bighorn sheep
and takes an adaptive management
approach to balancing its goals of: (a)
Minimizing the risk of potential adverse
impacts to Peninsular bighorn sheep
from recreational activities, and (b)
providing recreational opportunities for
hikers, equestrians, and mountain
bikers; and
(4) identifying changes to
conservation area boundaries to reflect
‘‘like exchanges’’ approved by the
applicants since the publication of the
Final MSHCP, dated February 6, 2006.
The ‘‘like exchanges’’ include Citrus
Ranch, Lumkes Family Trust, Nott,
Indio Water Authority Reservoirs, and
the City of Cathedral City.
DATES: Written comments should be
received on or before May 29, 2007.
ADDRESSES: Written comments should
be sent to Mr. Jim Bartel, Field
Supervisor, Fish and Wildlife Service,
Carlsbad Fish and Wildlife Office, 6010
