SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On 

September 4, 2018, UDOT submitted an 

application for a ROW grant for the 

Northern Corridor Project north of the 

City of St. George, Utah, on BLMadministered and non-Federal lands 

within the Red Cliffs NCA and Red 

Cliffs Desert Reserve (Reserve). The 

Reserve was established for the 

protection of the Mojave desert tortoise 

under the 1995 Washington County 

HCP. The NCA was established through 

the passage of the Omnibus Public Land 

Management Act of 2009. The 1995 HCP 

expired in 2016 and was extended by 

the Service to allow the County to 

amend the HCP pursuant to Section 

10(a)(1)(B) of the Endangered Species 

Act (ESA). The Service received an 

application for an ITP dated January 30, 

2015. The associated amended HCP was 

finalized by Washington County on 

October 20, 2020. The amended HCP 

anticipates the Northern Corridor 

highway, as a potential changed 

circumstance, would be partially offset 

with the addition of a new sixth zone to 

the Reserve (Reserve Zone 6) as the 

primary conservation strategy. To allow 

for consideration of and mitigation for 

the Northern Corridor, the BLM 

considered amendments to the Red 

Cliffs NCA and St. George Field Office 

RMPs. 

The BLM and the Service, as joint 

lead agencies, reviewed the ROW and 

ITP applications, and the BLM
