Application for an Incidental Take 

Permit for the Madison Cave Isopod 

From Dominion Virginia Power; LowEffect Habitat Conservation Plan 

AGENCY: Fish and Wildlife Service, 

Interior. 

ACTION: Notice of receipt of application. 

SUMMARY: Pursuant to the Endangered 

Species Act (ESA) and the National 

Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), the 

U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service 

or ‘‘we’’) announces the availability of 

an application for an Incidental Take 

Permit (ITP) and a proposed Low-Effect 

Habitat Conservation Plan (LEHCP) from 

Dominion Virginia Power for public 

review and comment. We received the 

permit application from Dominion 

Virginia Power for incidental take of the 

Madison Cave isopod during 

construction of a new natural gas-fired 

combined-cycle power station in 

Warren County, Virginia, extending over 

the next 9 years, until 2020. Our 

preliminary determination is that the 

Habitat Conservation Plan (HCP) 

qualifies as a low-effect plan under 

NEPA. To make this determination, we 

used our LEHCP Screening Form/ 

Environmental Action Statement (EAS), 

which is also available for review. 

We provide this notice to (1) seek 

public comments on the proposed HCP 

and application; (2) seek public 

comments on our preliminary 

determination that the HCP qualifies as 

a low-effect plan and is therefore 

eligible for a categorical exclusion under 

NEPA; and (3) advise other Federal and 

State agencies, affected Tribes, and the 

public of our intent to issue an ITP. 

DATES: The draft HCP and preliminary 

EAS are being made available during a 

30-day public review period. To ensure 

consideration, we must receive your 

written comments by September 21, 

2011. 

ADDRESSES: Send comments by U.S. 

mail to Sumalee Hoskin, U.S. Fish and 

Wildlife Service, Virginia Field Office, 

6669 Short Lane, Gloucester, VA 23061; 

by fax at (804) 693–9032; or by 

electronic mail at 

sumalee_hoskin@fws.gov. In the subject 

line of your letter, fax, or electronic 

mail, include the document identifier 

‘‘Warren County Power Station HCP.’’ 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Sumalee Hoskin, Fish and Wildlife 

Biologist, Virginia Field Office (VAFO) 

(see ADDRESSES); telephone (804) 693– 

6694; electronic mail: 

sumalee_hoskin@fws.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: We 

received a permit application from 

Dominion Virginia Power for incidental 

take of the federally listed Madison 

Cave isopod over the next 9 years 

during construction of a new natural 

gas-fired combined-cycle power station 

in Warren County, Virginia. A 

conservation program to minimize and 

mitigate for the incidental take would be 

implemented by Dominion Virginia 

Power as described in the proposed 

Dominion Virginia Power LEHCP. 

We prepared a preliminary EAS to 

comply with NEPA. The Service will 

evaluate whether the proposed action 

and issuance of an ITP to Dominion 

Virginia Power are adequate to support 

a categorical exclusion. This notice is 

provided pursuant to section 10(c) of 

the ESA and NEPA regulations (40 CFR 

1506.6). 

We are requesting comments on the 

proposed HCP and our preliminary 

determination that the HCP qualifies as 

low-effect under NEPA. 

Availability of Documents 

The proposed LEHCP and preliminary 

EAS are available on the VAFO’s Web 

site at: http://www.fws.gov/northeast/ 

virginiafield/. Copies of the proposed 

LEHCP and preliminary EAS will be 

available for public review during 

regular business hours at the VAFO (see 

ADDRESSES). Those who do not have
