incidental to the construction and

Proposed Project
The applicant requests a 5-year ITP to
take skinks via the conversion of
approximately 4.08 acres (ac) of
occupied nesting, foraging, and
sheltering skink habitat incidental to the
construction and operation of a
residential development on an 80.56-ac
parcel in Section 6, Township 30 South,
Range 28 East, Polk County, Florida.
The applicant proposes to mitigate for
take of the skinks by purchasing credits
equivalent to 8.16 ac of skink-occupied
habitat from a Service-approved
conservation bank. The Service would
require the applicant to purchase the
credits prior to engaging in any phase of
the project.

DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR
Our Preliminary Determination
Receipt of Incidental Take Permit
Application and Proposed Habitat
Conservation Plan for the Sand Skink
and Blue-Tailed Mole Skink; Polk
County, FL; Categorical Exclusion
The Service has made a preliminary
determination that the applicant’s
project—including the construction of
multiple single-family residences,
driveways, parking spaces, green areas,
stormwater pond, and associated
infrastructure (e.g., electric, water, and
sewer lines)—would individually and
cumulatively have a minor or negligible
effect on the skinks and the
environment. Therefore, we have
preliminarily concluded that the ITP for
this project would qualify for categorical
exclusion and that the HCP is low effect
under our NEPA regulations at 43 CFR
46.205 and 46.210. A low-effect 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 result in significant
cumulative effects to environmental
values or resources over time.
Next Steps
The Service will evaluate the
application and the comments 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 preceding and other
matters, 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 issue ITP number
PER 0050424 to CG Citrus, LLC.
Authority
The Service provides this notice
under section 10(c) of the ESA (16
U.S.C. 1531 et seq.) and its
implementing regulations (50 CFR
17.32), and NEPA (42 U.S.C. 4321 et
seq.) and its implementing regulations
(40 CFR 1506.6 and 43 CFR 46.305).
