Proposed Low Effect Habitat Conservation Plan for the Pioneer Meadows Development in Washoe County, NV
This notice advises the public that Pioneer Meadows Development, LLC; BCI Properties, LLC; DBJ Holdings, LLC; BB Investment Holdings, LLC; and BPHI, LLC (Applicants) have applied to the Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) for an incidental take permit (permit), pursuant to section 10(a)(1)(B) of the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (Act). The Applicants have requested a 42-month permit to authorize the incidental take of the endangered Carson wandering skipper (Psuedocopaeodes eunus obscurus, ``skipper'') on 39 acres of habitat associated with the development of a mixed residential and commercial use community within the city limits of Sparks, Nevada. We are requesting comments on the permit application (application) and on whether the proposed Habitat Conservation Plan (HCP) qualifies as a ``low-effect'' HCP eligible for a categorical exclusion under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of 1969, as amended. We explain the basis for this possible determination in a draft Environmental Action Statement (EAS), which is also available for public review.
Application From the Nevada Department of Wildlife, Humboldt County, NV, for an Enhancement of Survival Permit
In response to an application from the Nevada Department of Wildlife (Applicant), the Fish and Wildlife Service (we, the Service) is considering issuance of an enhancement of survival permit pursuant to section 10(a)(1)(A) of the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (ESA). The permit application includes a proposed programmatic Safe Harbor Agreement (SHA) between the Applicant and the Service. The proposed SHA provides for voluntary habitat restoration, maintenance, enhancement, or creation activities to enhance the reintroduction and recovery of the federally threatened Lahontan cutthroat trout (Oncorhynchus clarki henshawi) within the Northwest Distinct Population Segment. The proposed duration of both the SHA and permit is 30 years. The Service has made a preliminary determination that the proposed SHA and permit application are eligible for categorical exclusion under the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA). The basis for this determination is contained in an Environmental Action Statement, which also is available for public review.
