Notice of Public Meetings of the California Desert District Advisory Council, 21540-21541 [2024-06652]

Download as PDF 21540 Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 61 / Thursday, March 28, 2024 / Notices Environmental Quality’s National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) regulations (40 CFR 1501.4), the Department of the Interior’s (DOI) NEPA regulations (43 CFR 46), and the DOI’s Departmental Manual (516 DM 8.5(C)(2)). To make this preliminary determination, we prepared a draft environmental action statement and low-effect screening form, both of which are also available for public review. ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with NOTICES1 Proposed Project The project area is located along an approximately 2-mile stretch of the Santa Ana River in the City of Colton in San Bernardino County, California. The applicants request a 50-year incidental take permit for temporary impacts to approximately 2 miles of river occupied by Santa Ana sucker. The RIX facility supplies tertiary treated water to this stretch of the river and contributes to the functional quality of Santa Ana sucker habitat in the affected reach of the river. The applicants propose to avoid, minimize, and mitigate the impacts of RIX facility shutdowns on the 2-mile stretch of river by using supplemental groundwater wells that can supply up to 16 cubic feet per second of replacement water, coordinating with partners to monitor fish during shutdowns, and monitoring effects by conducting studies to assess the impact of the facility operations on Santa Ana sucker populations in this stretch of the river. Our Preliminary Determination The Service has made a preliminary determination that the project, including continued operation and maintenance of the RIX facility and the proposed mitigation, would individually and cumulatively have a minor effect on the Santa Ana sucker and the human environment. Therefore, we have preliminarily determined that the proposed ESA section 10(a)(1)(B) permit would be a low-effect ITP that individually or cumulatively would have a minor effect on the Santa Ana sucker and may qualify for application of a categorical exclusion pursuant to the Council on Environmental Quality’s NEPA regulations, DOI’s NEPA regulations, and the DOI Departmental Manual. A low-effect ITP is one that would result in: • Minor nonsignificant effects on species covered in the HCP; • Nonsignificant effects on the human environment; and • Impacts that, when added together with the impacts of other past, present, and reasonable foreseeable actions, would not result in significant VerDate Sep<11>2014 20:27 Mar 27, 2024 Jkt 262001 cumulative effects to the human environment. Next Steps We will evaluate the proposed application and any comments received to determine whether to issue the requested permit. We will also conduct an intra-Service consultation pursuant to section 7(a)(2) 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, we will issue the permit to the applicants for incidental take of the Santa Ana sucker. Public Availability of Comments Before including your address, phone number, email address, or other personal identifying information in your comment, you should be aware that your entire comment, including your personal identifying information, may be made publicly available to the public.
