Under the ‘‘Project Redesign’’ alternative, the project would be redesigned to avoid or further reduce take of Mount Hermon June beetle, Zayante band-winged grasshopper, and California red-legged frog. However, smaller pump stations cannot satisfy the San Lorenzo Valley Water District’s need to regulate water flow in the new pipelines, and thus will not meet the applicant’s need. Therefore, no reduced take can actually be realized. For this reason, the alternate design alternative has also been rejected. tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES Our Preliminary Determination We are requesting comments on our preliminary determination that the applicant’s proposal will have a minor or negligible effect on the Mount Hermon June beetle, Zayante bandwinged grasshopper, and California redlegged frog, and that the HCP qualifies to be processed as low effect as defined by our Habitat Conservation Planning Handbook (November 1996). We base our determinations on three criteria: (1) Implementation of the proposed project as described in the HCP would result in minor or negligible effects on federally listed, proposed, and/or candidate species and their habitats; (2) implementation of the HCP would result in minor negligible effects on other environmental values or resources; and (3) project impacts, considered together with those of other past, present, and reasonably foreseeable future projects, would not result in cumulatively significant effects. In our analysis of these criteria, we have made a preliminary determination that approval of the HCP and issuance of an ITP qualify for categorical exclusion under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) (42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq.), as provided by the Department of Interior Manual (516 DM 2 Appendix 2 and 516 DM 8); however, based upon our review of public comments that we receive in response to this notice, this preliminary determination may be revised. Next Steps We will evaluate the permit application, including the HCP and comments we receive, to determine whether the application meets the requirements of section 10(a)(1)(B) of the Act. We will also evaluate whether issuance of the ITP would comply with section 7(a)(2) of the Act by conducting an intra-Service Section 7 consultation. involvement regulations (40 CFR 1500.1(b), 1500.2(d), and 1506.6). We are requesting comments on our determination that the applicants’ proposal will have a minor or neglible effect on the Mount Hermon June beetle, Zayante band-winged grasshopper, and California red-legged frog, and that the plan qualifies as a low-effect HCP as defined by our 1996 Habitat Conservation Planning Handbook. We will evaluate the permit application, including the HCP and comments we receive, to determine whether the application meets the requirements of section 10(a)(1)(B) of the Act. We will use the results of our internal Service consultation, in combination with the above findings, in our final analysis to determine whether to issue the permits. If the requirements are met, we will issue an ITP to the applicant for the incidental take of Mount Hermon June beetle, Zayante band-winged grasshopper, and California red-legged frog. We will make the final permit decision no sooner than 30 days after the date of this notice.
