Our Preliminary Determination
The Service has made a preliminary
determination that the applicant’s
project, including land clearing,
infrastructure building, landscaping,
and the proposed mitigation measures,
would individually and cumulatively
have a minor or negligible effect on sand
skinks and the environment. Therefore,
we have preliminarily concluded that
the ITP for this project would qualify for
categorical exclusion and the HCP is
low effect under our NEPA regulations
at 43 CFR 46.205 and 46.210. A loweffect HCP is one that would result in
(1) minor or negligible effects on
federally listed, proposed, and
candidate species and their habitats; (2)
minor or negligible effects on other
environmental values or resources; and,
(3) impacts that, when considered
together with the impacts of other past,
present, and reasonably foreseeable
similarly situated projects, would not
over time result in significant
cumulative effects to environmental
values or resources.
Next Steps
The Service will evaluate the
application and the comments received
to determine whether to issue the
requested permit. We will also conduct
an intra-Service consultation pursuant
to section 7 of the ESA to evaluate the
effects of the proposed take. After
considering the above findings, we will
determine whether the permit issuance
criteria of section 10(a)(1)(B) of the ESA
have been met. If met, the Service will

under section 10(c) (16 U.S.C. 1539(c))

History and Description of the Remains

remains representing, at minimum, 28
individuals were removed from the

City, AL. In the fall of 2016, the

Province of Apalachicoli by the
Spanish. The area is believed to have
been occupied by Hitchiti speakers until
the late 17th century, when Muskhogee
speakers also known as the Lower
Creek—occupied the area. Both the
Hitchiti and the Lower Creek are related
to The Tribes.
