management activities specified in the
cooperative agreements, incidental to
other lawful uses of the properties,
including normal routine land
management activities, and/or to return
to pre-Agreement conditions.
To benefit the VELB and GGS,
Program Participants will agree to
undertake site-specific management
activities, which will be specified in
their written cooperative agreements.
Management activities that could be
included in the Cooperative Agreements
will provide for the restoration,
enhancement and management of native
riparian and/or wetland habitats in Yolo
County. The object of such activities is
to enhance populations of VELB and/or
GGS by creating healthy native riparian
plant and/or wetland communities.
Take of VELB and GGS incidental to the
aforementioned activities is unlikely;
however, it is possible that in the course
of such activities or other lawful
activities on the enrolled property, a
Program Participant could incidentally
take a VELB or GGS thereby
necessitating take authority under the
permit.
Pre-Agreement conditions (baseline),
consisting of a description and survey to
delineate the locations of all elderberry
bushes having 1 or more stems that are
1 inch or greater in diameter at the base
and to determine the quantity, quality,
and location of suitable GGS habitat,
shall be determined for each enrolled
property as provided in the Agreement.
In order to receive the above assurances
regarding incidental take of VELB and/
or GGS, a Program Participant must
maintain baseline on the enrolled
property. The Agreement and requested
enhancement of survival permit will
allow each Program Participant to return
to baseline conditions after the end of
the term of the 10-year cooperative
agreement and prior to the expiration of
the 30-year permit, if so desired by the
Applicants.
Consistent with the Service’s Safe
Harbor Policy (64 FR 32717), the
proposed Agreement and requested
permit also extend certain assurances to
those lands that are immediately
adjacent to lands on which restoration
activities occur. To receive such
assurances, a neighboring landowner
must enter into a written agreement
with the Service that specifies the
baseline conditions on the property.
This written agreement remains in effect
until the expiration of the 30-year
Agreement between the Applicant and
the Service and requires the neighboring
landowner to maintain the baseline
conditions established at the start of the
agreement.

Public Review and Comments
The Service has made a preliminary
determination that the proposed
Agreement and permit application are
eligible for categorical exclusion under
the National Environmental Policy Act
of 1969 (NEPA). We explain the basis
for this determination in an
Environmental Action Statement, which
is also available for public review.
Individuals wishing copies of the
permit application, copies of our
preliminary Environmental Action
Statement, and/or copies of the full text
of the Agreement, including a map of
the proposed permit area, references,
and legal descriptions of the proposed
permit area, should contact the office
and personnel listed in the ADDRESSES
section above.
If you wish to comment on the permit
application or the Agreement, you may
submit your comments to the address
listed in the ADDRESSES section of this
document. Comments and materials
received, including names and
addresses of respondents, will be
available for public review, by
appointment, during normal business
hours at the address in the ADDRESSES
section above and will become part of
the public record, pursuant to section
10(c) of the Act. Individual respondents
may request that we withhold their
home address from the record, which
we will honor to the extent allowable by
law. There also may be circumstances in
which we would withhold from the
record a respondent’s identity, as
allowable by law. If you wish us to
withhold your name and/or address,
you must state this prominently at the
beginning of your comment.
Anonymous comments will not be
considered. All submissions from
organizations or businesses, and from
individuals identifying themselves as
representatives or officials of
organizations or businesses, are
available for public inspection in their
entirety.
We will evaluate this permit
application, associated documents, and
comments submitted thereon to
determine whether the permit
application meets the requirements of
section 10(a) of the Act and NEPA
regulations at 40 CFR 1506.6. If we
determine that the requirements are
met, we will sign the proposed
Agreement and issue an enhancement of
survival permit under section
10(a)(1)(A) of the Act to the Applicants
for take of the VELB and/or GGS
incidental to otherwise lawful activities
in accordance with the terms of the
Agreement. We will not make our final
decision until after the end of the 30-

pursuant to section 10(c) of the Act and
pursuant to implementing regulations
for NEPA (40 CFR 1506.6).
