SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
County of San Luis Obispo (applicant)
has applied to the U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service (Service) for an
incidental take permit (ITP) under
section 10(a)(1)(B) of the Endangered
Species Act of 1973, as amended (ESA;
16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.). The applicant is
requesting an ITP with a 25-year term,
for incidental take of two animal species
likely to result from implementation of
activities covered by the applicant’s
habitat conservation plan (HCP), and
seeking assurances for two plant
species. The permit, if issued, would
authorize take of the federally
endangered Morro shoulderband snail
(Helminthoglypta walkeriana) and
Morro Bay kangaroo rat (Dipodomys
heermanni morroensis) and provide
assurances for the federally endangered
Indian Knob mountainbalm (Eriodictyon
altissimum) and federally threatened
Morro manzanita (Arctostaphylos
morroensis). Pursuant to the National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969, as
amended (NEPA; 42 U.S.C. 4321 et
seq.), we advise the public of the
availability of the proposed HCP and
our draft environmental assessment
(EA).
Background
Section 9 of the ESA prohibits the
take of fish or wildlife species listed as
endangered; by regulation, the Service
may extend the take prohibition to fish
or wildlife species listed as threatened.
‘‘Take’’ is defined under the ESA to
include the following activities: ‘‘[T]o
harass, harm, pursue, hunt, shoot,
wound, kill, trap, capture, or collect, or
to attempt to engage in any such
conduct’’ (16 U.S.C. 1532); however,
under section 10(a)(1)(B) of the ESA, we
may issue permits to authorize
incidental take of listed species. The
ESA defines ‘‘incidental take’’ as take
that is incidental to, and not the
purpose of, carrying out of an otherwise
lawful activity. Regulations governing
incidental take permits for threatened
and endangered species are in the Code
of Federal Regulations (CFR) at 50 CFR
17.32 and 17.22, respectively. Under the
ESA, protections for federally listed
PO 00000
Frm 00075
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
plants differ from the protections
afforded to federally listed animals.
Issuance of an incidental take permit
also must not jeopardize the existence of
federally listed fish, wildlife, or plant
species. The Permittee would receive
assurances under our ‘‘No Surprises’’
regulations (50 CFR 17.22(b)(5)) and
17.32(b)(5)) regarding conservation
activities for the Morro shoulderband
snail, Morro Bay kangaroo rat, Indian
Knob mountainbalm, and Morro
manzanita.
The proposed HCP includes measures
intended to avoid, minimize, and
mitigate take of the Morro shoulderband
snail and Morro Bay kangaroo rat and
impacts to Indian Knob mountainbalm
and Morro manzanita (covered species)
expected to occur incidental to
otherwise lawful covered activities.
The applicant is requesting coverage
for incidental take and impacts resulting
from the following categories of covered
activities:
1. Private development (new
construction, remodels, defensible
space),
2. Capital improvement projects,
3. Facilities operation and
maintenance projects,
4. Community wildfire protection
plan, and
5. Conservation program.
Incidental take or impacts to the
covered species resulting from the
covered activities would be restricted to
the 3,200-acre (ac) permit area, which
includes the majority of Los Osos, an
unincorporated community in western
San Luis Obispo County. The permit
area excludes all existing State park
lands, with the exception of
approximately 5 ac contiguous with
Elfin Forest Reserve. Covered activities
could result in the loss of up to 532 ac
of habitat for the covered species
present within the permit area.
The proposed conservation program
includes species-specific avoidance and
minimization measures and the
establishment of a preserve system for
the covered species. The preserve
system would be subject to monitoring,
management, and protection in
perpetuity. The conservation program
would remain in step with take/impacts,
and the assembly of the preserve system
would occur throughout the permit
term.
National Environmental Policy Act
Compliance
The EA analyzes the effects to the
human environment for three project
alternatives: No action, proposed action,
and reduced take.
Under the No-Action alternative, the
Service would not issue the ITP and
