Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 177 / Tuesday, September 13, 2016 / Notices Lhorne on DSK30JT082PROD with NOTICES The Kellaway HCP area includes two existing legal parcels of 5.08 acres and 0.45 acre, legally described as Assessor Parcel Numbers 074–022–042 and 074– 483–052, respectively. Both are located between Seahorse Lane and San Leandro Court in the southwestern portion of the unincorporated community of Los Osos, San Luis Obispo County, California. The current ITP authorizes incidental take of Morro shoulderband snail that would result from direct impacts to 1.68 acres of coastal dune scrub, maritime chaparral, and ruderal habitat occupied by this species. Take would be incidental to the otherwise lawful construction of a single-family residence on each of the two parcels, along with limited habitat enhancement on the larger of the parcels. Incidental Take Permit The ITP was issued on September 21, 2011, and expires on September 20, 2016. The process to obtain a Coastal Development Permit from the California Coastal Commission took much longer than anticipated and required a project redesign. This redesign did not exceed the 1.68-acre development area or change the amount or form of take of Morro shoulderband snail currently authorized in the ITP. The permittees have requested no change to the covered species, covered activities, or HCP area and commit to fully implement the HCP. Measures to minimize the amount and form of take include the following: (1) Pre-construction and construction monitoring surveys for Morro shoulderband snail within the 1.68-acre impact area, (2) capture and moving of all identified individuals of Morro shoulderband snail into the conservation easement area by an individual in possession of a current valid recovery permit for the species, (3) installation of protective fencing, and (4) development and presentation of a contractor and employee training program for Morro shoulderband snail. Mitigation for unavoidable take of Morro shoulderband snail includes: (1) Preservation in perpetuity of 3.83 acres of coastal dune scrub and maritime chaparral habitats occupied by Morro shoulderband snail in a conservation easement that will preclude any use not consistent with resource management, (2) enhancement of 0.24 acres of disturbed coastal dune scrub within the conservation easement to increase its value and function for Morro shoulderband snail, (3) postconstruction monitoring and maintenance of the habitat enhancement activities within conservation easement area for a period of 4 years to ensure its VerDate Sep<11>2014 15:27 Sep 12, 2016 Jkt 238001 success, and (4) establishment of a Letter of Credit in the amount of $16,740 to ensure that adequate funding is available to implement all of the minimization and mitigation measures contained in the plan. Our Preliminary Determination The Service has made a preliminary determination that ITP renewal would not represent a major Federal action that will significantly affect the quality of the human environment within the meaning of section 102(2)(C) of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). As such, it will not have, individually or cumulatively, more than a negligible effect on the species covered in the HCP. Therefore, we have determined that the incidental take permit for this project is ‘‘low effect’’ and qualifies for categorical exclusion under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), as provided by 43 CFR 46.205 and 43 CFR 46.210.
