Proposed Safe Harbor Agreement for
the Deane Dana Friendship Community
Regional Park in Los Angeles County,
CA
pwalker on PROD1PC71 with NOTICES
AGENCY: Fish and Wildlife Service,
Interior.
ACTION: Notice of availability.
SUMMARY: The County of Los Angeles,
Department of Parks and Recreation
(Applicant) has applied to the U.S. Fish
and Wildlife Service (Service) for an
Enhancement of Survival permit
pursuant to section 10(a)(1)(A) of the
Endangered Species Act of 1973, as
amended. The Service is considering the
issuance of a 30-year permit to the
Applicant that would authorize take of
the federally endangered Palos Verdes
blue butterfly (Glaucopsyche lygdamus
palosverdesensis; ‘‘PVB’’) through a Safe
Harbor Agreement (SHA). The purpose
of this SHA is for the Applicant to
restore a minimum of 8 acres of habitat
for the PVB through the implementation
of a habitat restoration plan at Deane
Dana Friendship Community Regional
Park (Friendship Park), a known historic
location for this species. Friendship
Park is owned by the County of Los
Angeles. The Applicant seeks to provide
for the long-term recovery of PVB in the
wild through the restoration of suitable
habitat that can accommodate passive or
active reintroduction of the site from the
U.S. Navy Defense Fuel Support Point,
San Pedro (DFSP) or other extant
locations that may be present within the
historic range of the species. The
Service has made a preliminary
determination that the proposed SHA
and permit application are eligible for
categorical exclusion under the National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969
(NEPA). The basis for this preliminary
determination is contained in an
Environmental Action Statement.
We request comments from the public
on the permit application and the
Environmental Action Statement, both
of which are available for review. The
permit application includes the
proposed SHA. The SHA describes the
proposed project and the measures that
VerDate Nov<24>2008

Jkt 217001
the Applicant would undertake to avoid
and minimize take of the covered
species.
DATES: Written comments should be
received on or before May 6, 2009.
ADDRESSES: Please address written
comments to Samantha Marcum, U.S.
Fish and Wildlife Service, Carlsbad Fish
and Wildlife Office, 6010 Hidden Valley
Road, Suite 101, Carlsbad, California
92011. Comments may also be sent by
facsimile to 760–918–0638.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Jim
Bartel, Field Supervisor, Carlsbad Fish
and Wildlife Office (see ADDRESSES);
telephone: (760) 431–9440.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Availability of Documents
Individuals wishing copies of the
permit application, copies of our
Environmental Action Statement, and/
or copies of the full text of the SHA
should immediately contact the Service
by telephone at (760) 431–9440 or by
letter to the Carlsbad Fish and Wildlife
Office. Copies of the documents also are
available for public inspection during
regular business hours at the Carlsbad
Fish and Wildlife Office [see
ADDRESSES].
Background
Section 9 of the Endangered Species
Act (Act) of 1973, as amended (16
U.S.C. 1531 et seq.) and its
implementing Federal regulations
prohibit the take of animal species listed
as endangered or threatened. Take is
defined under the Act as to harass,
harm, pursue, hunt, shoot, wound, kill,
trap, capture or collect listed animal
species, or attempt to engage in such
conduct (16 U.S.C. 1538). However,
under section 10(a) of the Act, the
Service may issue permits to authorize
incidental take of listed species.
‘‘Incidental take’’ is defined by the Act
as take that is incidental to, and not the
purpose of, carrying out an otherwise
lawful activity. Regulations governing
incidental take permits for endangered
and threatened species, respectively, are
found in the Code of Federal
Regulations at 50 CFR 17.22 and 50 CFR
17.32.
The Applicant (Los Angeles County
Department of Parks and Recreation) is
seeking a permit for take of the Palos
Verdes blue butterfly during the life of
the permit. This species is referred to as
the ‘‘PVB’’ in the proposed SHA.
Under a SHA, participating
landowners voluntarily undertake
management activities on their property
to enhance, restore, or maintain habitat
benefiting species listed under the Act.
SHAs, and the subsequent enhancement

of survival permits that are issued
pursuant to Section 10(a)(1)(A) of the
Act, encourage private and other nonFederal property owners to implement
conservation efforts for Federally listed
species by assuring property owners
that they will not be subjected to
increased property use restrictions as a
result of their efforts to attract Federally
listed species to their property, or to
increase the numbers or distribution of
Federally listed species already on their
property. Application requirements and
issuance criteria for enhancement of
survival permits through Safe Harbor
Agreements are found in 50 CFR
17.22(c).
We have worked with the Applicant
to develop the proposed SHA for the
conservation of the PVB via habitat
restoration within 8 acres of the 125acre Friendship Park in Los Angeles
County, California. Friendship Park is
located within the cities of Los Angeles
and Rancho Palos Verdes on the Palos
Verdes Peninsula (Peninsula) in the
southern part of Los Angeles County.
The park occurs within the U.S.
Geological Survey 7.5-minute series San
Pedro topographic quadrangle
(township 5 south, range 14 west,
within the Los Verdes Land Grant
Boundary) and comprises
approximately 125 acres bordered
roughly by Western Avenue on the west
and Rue le Charlene and Ninth Street on
the north.
This SHA provides for the restoration,
enhancement, and management of
coastal sage scrub (CSS) habitat
containing hostplants suitable for the
PVB within Friendship Park. The
proposed duration of the SHA is 30
years, and the proposed term of the
enhancement of survival permit is 30
years, provided that the Service
determines that the actions identified in
the SHA were implemented prior to the
SHA’s expiration. When fully
implemented, the SHA and requested
enhancement of survival permit will
allow the Applicant to return habitat
conditions to baseline after the end of
the 30-year term of the SHA and permit,
if so desired by the Applicant. The SHA
and associated restoration plan fully
describe the management activities to be
undertaken by the Applicant, and the
net conservation benefits expected to
the PVB. Upon approval of this SHA,
and consistent with the Service’s Safe
Harbor Policy published in the Federal
Register on June 17, 1999 (64 FR 32717),
the Service would issue a permit to the
Applicant authorizing take of the PVB
incidental to the implementation of the
management activities specified in the
SHA, incidental to other lawful uses of
the enrolled property including normal,
