landscape. Reintroductions of this
species are being undertaken on lands
already conserved.
Streaked horned lark (Eremophila
alpestris strigata) is a native bird found
in prairies, grasslands, and other
sparsely vegetated areas. This species
was proposed to be federally listed as a
threatened species and designation of
critical habitat was proposed on October
11, 2012 (77 FR 61937). Once
distributed from British Columbia to
southern Oregon, its range has retracted
considerably. Within Thurston County
this species is found at only few
locations. The northernmost known
population occurs on Joint Base LewisMcChord.
The Mazama pocket gopher
(Thomomys mazama), a native mammal
of Thurston County, occurs on prairie
habitat and prairie soils. In the south
Puget Sound area, two of nine
subpopulations of Mazama pocket
gopher have become extinct since the
1940s. Four subspecies of the gopher
were proposed to be federally listed as
threatened and designation of critical
habitat was proposed on December 11,
2012 (77 FR 77370).
The county also proposes to cover the
Oregon spotted frog (Rana pretiosa),
which was designated a candidate
species on September 19, 1997 (62 FR
49402), and the following non-listed
species: western gray squirrel (Sciurus
griseus), Oregon vesper sparrow
(Pooecetes graminesu), slender-billed
white-breasted nuthatch (Sitta
carolinensis aculeate), western pond
turtle (Clemmys marmorata affinus),
western toad (Bufo boreas), mardon
skipper (Polites mardon), Puget blue
butterfly (Icaricia icarioides
blackmorei), valley silverspot butterfly
(Speyeria zerene), white-top aster (Aster
curtus), rose checker mallow (Sidalcea
malviflora virgata), small-flowered
trillium (Trillium parviflorum), and
Puget balsamroot (Balsamorhiza
deltoidea).
information regarding management
issues and goals to be considered in the
development of the HCP; existing
environmental conditions in Thurston
County; other plans or projects that
might be relevant to this proposed
project; permit duration; areas and
specific landforms that should or should
not be covered; species that should or
should not be covered; covered
activities, including potential
avoidance, minimization, and
mitigation measures; monitoring and
adaptive management provisions; and
funding suggestions.
We will accept written comments at
the public meeting. You may also
submit written comments to the Service
at our U.S. mail address, by email, or by

Once the draft EIS and draft HCP are
prepared, there will be further
opportunity for public comment on the
content of these documents through an
additional 90-day public comment
period.
Public Scoping
The primary purpose of the scoping
process is for the public to assist the
Service and Thurston County in
developing a draft EIS by identifying
important issues and alternatives related
to the applicant’s proposed action. The
scoping meeting will include
presentations by the Service and
Thurston County, followed by informal
questions and discussions. Written
comments from all interested parties are
welcome to ensure that a full range of
issues and alternatives related to the
proposed permit request is identified.
The Service requests that comments
be specific. In particular, we request
