mitigated by the development of a

Mitigation Bank, the purchase of 24

nightingale reed-warbler credits from

the Mitigation Bank, and other measures

specified in the Plan. Alternative 2

entails developing the project as

originally permitted by the local

government. The impacts to nightingale

reed-warblers on site would be greater

under this alternative and the protection

of 24 nightingale reed-warbler territories

and protection and enhancement of an

additional 24 nightingale reed-warbler

territories would not occur. Under

alternative 1, the no action alternative,

the Service would not issue an

incidental take permit. The area leased

would likely revert back to the

Commonwealth government. None of

the existing nightingale reed-warblers

would be lost, at least immediately.

After the land reverted back to the

Commonwealth, it would then be

available for other uses. These uses

could have greater impacts to

nightingale reed-warblers as a result of

subdivision and the subsequent habitat

fragmentation. Under the no action

alternative, the 24 existing territories

would not be preserved in the

Mitigation Bank, and habitat protection

and enhancement for the establishment

of 24 additional territories would not

occur.
