Download as PDF 67768 Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 207 / Monday, October 26, 2020 / Notices Service to issue permits to non-Federal entities for the take of endangered and threatened species caused by otherwise lawful activities, provided the following criteria are met: (1) The taking will be incidental; (2) the applicant will, to the maximum extent practicable, minimize and mitigate the impact of such taking; (3) the applicant will ensure that adequate funding for the plan will be provided; (4) the taking will not appreciably reduce the likelihood of the survival and recovery of the species in the wild; and (5) the applicant will carry out any other measures that the Service may require as being necessary or appropriate for the purposes of the HCP. Regulations governing permits for endangered and threatened species are found at 50 CFR 17.22 and 17.32, respectively. Proposed Action In this case, the applicant is requesting an ITP with a 20-year term that would authorize take of the Olympia pocket gopher incidental to otherwise lawful construction of commercial warehouse(s) and associated infrastructure improvements for stormwater and transportation safety. The application includes an HCP that describes the actions the applicant will take to minimize and mitigate the impacts of the taking on the covered species. The applicant is proposing development activities and conservation site measures on approximately 151.2 acres of land. Development activities include construction of a warehouse distribution and commercial center and associated infrastructure improvements for stormwater and transportation safety. The area covered under the applicant’s HCP consists of a project development site totaling 83.7 acres located southwest of the intersection of 93rd Ave. SW and Kimmie St. SW in the City of Tumwater, Thurston County, Washington. Portions of the approximately 79-acre project site and the 4.7 acres of adjacent roads are suitable for and/or occupied by the Olympia pocket gopher. Take of the Olympia pocket gopher would occur on approximately 22 acres of occupied habitat. Impacts to suitable habitat may result in additional impacts to Olympia pocket gopher if that habitat becomes occupied before construction. The applicant’s HCP will provide offsetting mitigation for impacts to the Olympia pocket gopher at the 67.5-acre Tumwater West property. The Service proposes to issue the requested 20-year permit based on the applicant’s commitment to implement the HCP, if permit issuance criteria are met. VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:31 Oct 23, 2020 Jkt 253001 National Environmental Policy Act Compliance made available for public disclosure in their entirety. The proposed issuance of a permit is a Federal action that triggers the need for compliance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969, as amended (NEPA; 42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq.). Pursuant to the requirements of NEPA, we have prepared a draft EA to analyze the environmental impacts of a reasonable range of alternatives to the proposed Federal permit action. As the EA was developed prior to the Council on Environmental Quality’s issuance of updated regulations implementing NEPA which went into effect on September 14, 2020 (40 CFR 1506.13), the EA was completed under the previous regulations in the interest of time and efficiency. Alternatives analyzed in the EA include a no-action alternative and the proposed alternative. Under the noaction alternative, the proposed Federal action of issuing the permit would not proceed. Because there is no way to avoid all impacts to the listed species at the project site, the commercial development would not be constructed under the no-action alternative. The proposed alternative is implementation of the HCP and issuance of the requested 20-year permit, as described above. Next Steps Public Comments We provide this notice in accordance with the requirements of section 10 of the ESA (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.) and NEPA (42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq.) and their implementing regulations (50 CFR 17.22 and 40 CFR 1506.6, respectively). You may submit your comments and materials by one of the methods listed in the ADDRESSES section. We specifically request information, views, and opinions from interested parties regarding our proposed Federal action, including on the adequacy of the HCP pursuant to the requirements for permits at 50 CFR parts 13 and 17 and the adequacy of the draft EA pursuant to the requirements of NEPA. Public Availability of Comments All comments and materials we receive become part of the public record associated with this action. Before including your address, phone number, email address, or other personally identifiable information in your comments, you should be aware that your entire comment—including your personally identifiable information— may be made publicly available at any time. While you can ask us in your comment to withhold your personally identifiable information from public review, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to do so. All submissions from organizations or businesses, and from individuals identifying themselves as representatives or officials of organizations or businesses, will be PO 00000 Frm 00064 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 After public review and completion of the EA, we will determine whether the proposed action warrants a finding of no significant impact or whether an environmental impact statement should be prepared. We will evaluate the permit application, associated documents, and any comments received, to determine whether the permit application meets the requirements of section 10(a)(1)(B) of the ESA. We will also evaluate whether issuance of the requested section 10(a)(1)(B) permit would comply with section 7 of the ESA by conducting an intra-Service section 7 consultation under section 7(a)(2) of the ESA on anticipated ITP actions. The final NEPA and permit determinations will not be completed until after the end of the 30day comment period and will fully consider all comments received during the comment period. If we determine that all requirements are met, we will issue an incidental take permit under section 10(a)(1)(B) of the ESA to the applicant for the take of the covered species, incidental to otherwise lawful covered activities.
