Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 69 / Monday, April 12, 2010 / Notices
In order to comply with the
requirements of the Federal ESA, the
proposed Plan addresses a number of
required elements, including: species
and habitat goals and objectives;
evaluation of the effects of covered
activities on covered species, including
indirect and cumulative effects; a
conservation strategy; a monitoring and
adaptive management program;
descriptions of changed circumstances
and remedial measures; identification of
funding sources; and an assessment of
alternatives to take of listed species.
The Plan divides the permit area into
four ‘‘zones.’’ Zone 1 supports one or
more of the covered species or provides
critical resources for the species. Zone
2 areas are occasionally occupied by a
covered species and provide some of the
resources used by the species, or buffers
between occupied habitat and urbanized
areas. Zone 3 consists of generally
undeveloped land that provides only
limited and indirect benefit to the
covered species. Zone 4 includes
urbanized areas that do not support the
covered species. The Plan covers the
ongoing operation and maintenance of
the University, existing facilities, and a
limited amount of future development.
Ongoing operations and maintenance
are divided into the following categories
of activities: water management; creek
maintenance; academic activities; utility
installation and maintenance; general
infrastructure; recreation and athletics;
grounds and vegetation; agricultural and
equestrian leaseholds; and commercial
and institutional leaseholds. Up to 180
acres of development in Zones 1, 2, and
3 are also covered by the Plan, but the
Plan does not supersede any permitting
or entitlement required by other
regulations.
The Plan’s proposed conservation
strategy is designed to minimize and
mitigate the impacts of covered
activities, improve habitat conditions
for listed covered species, and protect
populations of the non-listed covered
species. The Plan includes
minimization measures that would
avoid and minimize the take of covered
species from ongoing operation and
maintenance of the University and
future development. The Plan also
includes mitigation for the loss of
habitat, and proposes to conserve
approximately 360 acres of riparian
habitat within conservation easements
within one year of issuance of the
permits. Additional riparian habitat
would be preserved as needed. A 315–
acre ‘‘California Tiger Salamander
Reserve’’ also would be established at
the outset of the Plan. No development
would be permitted within the Reserve
for the term of the permits, and habitat

within the Reserve would be
permanently protected to offset any loss
of tiger salamander habitat that occurs
during the permit term. Habitat
protected under the Plan would be
managed and monitored, and annual
reports documenting the status of the
species and compliance with the Plan
would be submitted to the Services. In
addition to the minimization measures
and mitigation for the loss of habitat, the
Plan includes a number of potential
habitat enhancements that Stanford may
perform during the term of the permits.
Other conservation activities include a
California tiger salamander management
plan that covers 95 acres, including
Lagunita Reservoir and habitat around
Lagunita Reservoir.
National Environmental Policy Act
Compliance
Proposed permit issuance triggers the
need for compliance with the National
Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). As
co-lead agencies, the Services have
prepared a DEIS which evaluates the
impacts of the proposed issuance of the
permit and implementation of the Plan,
as well as a reasonable range of
alternatives.
The DEIS analyzes three alternatives
including the issuance of incidental take
permits and applicant implementation
of the proposed Plan described above.
The issuance of 50–year take permits
and applicant implementation of the
proposed Plan is considered the
Preferred Alternative. Two other
alternatives being considered by the
Services include the following:
Under the No Action Alternative, the
Services would not issue incidental take
permits for implementation of the
Stanford University Habitat
Conservation Plan. As a result, the
Applicant would likely seek individual
incidental take authorization as needed
for new projects and ongoing operations
that would result in the take of federally
listed species.
Under the California Tiger
Salamander Only Alternative, Stanford
would prepare a Habitat Conservation
Plan only for the California tiger
salamander, and obtain section 10
authorization only for the take of
California tiger salamander. Future
development and ongoing activities that
would result in the take of other listed
species would be permitted
individually, as needed.
Public Comments
The Services invite the public to
comment on the draft Plan, draft IA, and
DEIS during a 90–day public comment
period beginning on the date of this
notice. All comments and materials

received, including names and

administration record and may be
released to the public. Our practice is to
make comments, including names,
home addresses, home telephone

respondents available for public review.
Before including your address, phone
number, e-mail address, or other
personal identifying information in your

your entire comment including your
personal identifying information may be
made publicly available at any time.
While you may ask us in your comment
to withhold your personal identifying
information from public review, we
cannot guarantee that we will be able to
do so.
This notice is provided pursuant to
section 10(c) of the Act and regulations
for implementing NEPA, as amended
(40 CFR 1506.6), We provide this notice
in order to allow the public, agencies, or
other organizations to review and
comment on these documents.
Special Accommodations
The public meeting is physically
accessible to people with disabilities.
Requests for sign language
interpretation or other auxiliary aids
should be directed to Gary Stern,

707–575–6060, at least 5 working days
prior to the meeting date.
Next Steps
The Services will evaluate the
applications, associated documents, and
public comments submitted to them to
prepare a final EIS. A permit decision
will be made no sooner than 30 days
after the publication of the final EIS and
completion of the Record of Decision.
