The permit area for ITP implementation includes 241 Texas counties (see figure 1 in the HCP). Activities covered by the HCP include construction; operation; upgrade; decommissioning; and repair and maintenance of electrical transmission lines, substations, access roads, and related infrastructure and facilities (covered activities). LCRA TSC activities are classified as (1) new construction, (2) upgrading and decommissioning, (3) operations and maintenance, and (4) emergency responses. The applicant requested a term of 30 years, starting on the date of ITP issuance. The applicant will fully implement avoidance, minimization, and mitigation measures to offset impacts to the covered species according to the HCP and ITP. The applicant has agreed to include the following minimization measures: 1. Meet annually with the Service to discuss upcoming LCRA TSC activities, updated distribution or occurrence information for covered species, opportunities for mitigation, and other concerns; 2. Perform pre-construction natural resource assessments to avoid adverse effects on sensitive environmental features (including species); 3. Implement best practices and other measures to reduce environmental impacts before, during, and after construction; 4. Provide annual training to LCRA TSC staff and contractors working on covered activities regarding the implementation of the HCP and any covered species overlapping with covered activities; 5. Clear and manage vegetation within rights-of-way using aboveground means when practicable; 6. Mark those sections of transmission lines that cross major rivers and out 300 feet from either side; 7. Limit herbicide applications to woody vegetation that is a potential threat to the reliability of LCRA TSC facilities and observe the Service’s Southwest Region guidance for pesticide applications; E:\FR\FM\06SEN1.SGM 06SEN1
