Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 98 / Friday, May 20, 2011 / Notices loving fly under the Service’s ‘‘No Surprises’’ regulation at 50 CFR 17.22(b)(5). Take authorization for the Delhi Sands flower-loving fly would become effective upon permit issuance. Project Location The Applicant is proposing site preparation (vegetation clearing and grading), future construction, and routine operations and maintenance of storage and distribution facilities for petroleum products on approximately 20 ac (8 ha) within the existing Colton and Colton North Terminals and their respective pipeline easements in San Bernardino County, California. The Colton Terminal is located in Rialto and Colton, on the east side of Riverside Avenue, south of Slover Avenue, and north of Santa Ana Avenue. The Colton North Terminal is located in Colton, on the east side of Sycamore Avenue, and north and south of Slover Avenue. The pipeline easements for the terminals traverse the cities of Ontario, Fontana, Rialto, and Colton, from the western end of Ontario International Airport to the Santa Ana River. Land uses surrounding the terminals include petroleum facilities, city streets, vacant lands, a flood control channel (Rialto Creek), and the Colton Dunes Conservation Bank (operated by Vulcan Materials Company as a conservation bank for the Delhi Sands flower-loving fly). jlentini on DSK4TPTVN1PROD with NOTICES Project Information The Applicant is proposing a variety of projects located both on and off the terminals. These projects are as follows: (1) Clearance of all vegetation for future developments on several of the vacant parcels located on the Colton and Colton North Terminals. (2) Construction of the Calnev Expansion Project, a new 16-inch- (41centimeter-) diameter multiple-product pipeline in Colton. This project also includes the construction of a new electrical transmission line located just east of the Colton North Terminal. (3) Future development of approximately 6.19 ac (2.5 ha) in the westernmost area of the Sycamore North Parcel. (4) Routine operations and maintenance of all facilities, including excavations, inspections, and repairs to all the Applicant’s pipelines and facilities located within the species’ habitat. The combined total length of pipeline to be covered under the permit would be approximately 26 miles. (5) Inspection, repair (if necessary), and permanent reburial of the exposed portion of Line Section 111, which is located on lands owned by Union VerDate Mar<15>2010 17:22 May 19, 2011 Jkt 223001 Pacific east of the Colton North Terminal. (6) The placement of Southern California Edison (SCE) substation facilities (i.e., electrical transmission line tower, access roads, etc.) off site, within lands owned by the Union Pacific Railroad Company, just outside the northeastern boundary of the Colton North Terminal. Based on the results of focused surveys, we consider undeveloped portions of the proposed project area, which contain habitat of varying suitability, as occupied by the Delhi Sands flower-loving fly. Therefore, we have determined that the Applicant’s proposed activities would result in incidental take of the Delhi Sands flower-loving fly. No other Federally listed species are known to occupy the site. To minimize and mitigate incidental take of the Delhi Sands flower-loving fly within the project area, the Applicant proposes to set aside approximately 20 ac (8 ha) as a permanent, on-site conservation area. The Applicant would fund the restoration and management of the conservation area for the Delhi Sands flower-loving fly through an agreement with the Riverside Land Conservancy, a nonprofit land trust. National Environmental Policy Act We have prepared the draft Environmental Assessment under the National Environmental Policy Act, as amended (NEPA; 42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq.), to analyze the impacts of authorizing incidental take of the Delhi Sands flower-loving fly, based on the Applicant’s application for an incidental take permit and the proposed HCP included with the application. The proposed HCP describes the Applicant’s proposed development activities and the measures the Applicant will undertake to minimize and mitigate the effects of incidental take to the maximum extent practicable. The proposed issuance of an incidental take permit is a Federal action requiring Service compliance with NEPA and its implementing regulations at 40 CFR 1506.6. Our draft Environmental Assessment analyzes the environmental consequences of three alternatives: (1) The ‘‘Proposed Action,’’ which would result in Service issuance of an incidental take permit and implementation of the Applicant’s proposed HCP; (2) an ‘‘Other Compensation Lands’’ alternative, which would involve permit issuance and implementation of a HCP based on the purchase of credits at the Colton Dunes Conservation Bank; and (3) a ‘‘No Action’’ alternative, which would not PO 00000 Frm 00071 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 29261 involve Service issuance of an incidental take permit or the Applicant’s implementation of a HCP, would not result in impacts to the Delhi Sands flower-loving fly, and would not establish any additional conservation. Public Review We invite the public to comment on the proposed HCP, draft Implementing Agreement, and draft Environmental Assessment during our 60-day comment period (see DATES). Please direct comments to the Service contact listed in the ADDRESSES section, and any questions to the Service contact listed in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section. Before including your address, phone number, e-mail address, or other personal identifying information in your comment, you should be aware that 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. Next Steps We provide this notice under section 10(a) of the Act and Service regulations for implementing NEPA. We will evaluate the application, associated documents, and any public comments we receive to determine whether the application meets the requirements of NEPA regulations and section 10(a) of the Act. If we determine that those requirements are met, we will issue a permit to the Applicant for the incidental take of Delhi Sands flowerloving fly. We will make our final permit decision no sooner than 60 days after the date of this notice. Michael Fris, Acting Regional Director, Pacific Southwest Region, Sacramento, California.
