SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

Plum Creek has requested

modification of the HCP to

accommodate the new land-base

resulting from enactment of the I–

90LXA. The Services’ decision is to

adopt the Preferred Alternative, as

described in the Final Supplemental

Environmental Impact Statement

(FSEIS). This decision is based on a

thorough review of the alternatives and

their environmental consequences. By

adopting the Preferred Alternative with

its assurances that the mitigation

program and enforcement measures be

implemented, all practicable means to

avoid or minimize harm have been

adopted.

The Proposed HCP Modification, as

described in the proposed Modification

Document and analyzed in the FSEIS,

provides the most comprehensive

package of conservation prescriptions

and activities of all of the alternatives.

None of the other alternatives provide as

integrated and comprehensive a package

of habitat conservation as the Proposed

HCP Modification. The Proposed HCP

Modification accommodates the new

land-base and applies the prescriptive

conservation measures to the newly

acquired lands within the HCP Planning

Area.
