[FWS–R8–ES–2015–N009; 

FXES11120800000–167–FF08EVEN00] 

Receipt of Application for Renewal of 

Incidental Take Permit; Bonny Doon 

Quarries Settlement Ponds Low-Effect 

Habitat Conservation Plan 

AGENCY: Fish and Wildlife Service, 

Interior. 

ACTION: Notice of receipt of permit 

renewal application; request for 

comments. 

SUMMARY: We, the U.S. Fish and 

Wildlife Service (Service), have received 

an application from CEMEX (applicant), 

for a renewal of incidental take permit 

TE844722–0 under the Endangered 

Species Act of 1973, as amended (Act). 

The applicant has requested a renewal 

that will extend permit expiration by 5 

years from the date the permit is 

reissued. The applicant has agreed to 

follow all of the existing habitat 

conservation plan (HCP) conditions. If 

renewed, no additional take will be 

authorized. The permit would authorize 

take of the federally threatened 

California red-legged frog, incidental to 

otherwise lawful activities associated 

with the Bonny Doon Quarries 

Settlement Ponds HCP. 

DATES: Written comments should be 

received on or before March 21, 2016. 

ADDRESSES: You may obtain a copy of 

the permit renewal application and the 

HCP by writing to the Ventura Fish and 

Wildlife Ecological Services Office, 

Attn: Permit number TE844722–0, U.S. 

Fish and Wildlife Service, 2493 Portola 

Road, Suite B, Ventura, CA 93003. In 

addition, we will make the permit 

renewal application and HCP available 

for public inspection by appointment 

during normal business hours at the 

above address. Please address written 

comments to Stephen P. Henry, Field 

Supervisor, at the address above. 

Comments may also be sent by facsimile 

to (805) 644–3958. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Jacob Martin, Fish and Wildlife 

Biologist, at the above address or by 

calling (831) 768–6953. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

The California red-legged frog (Rana 

draytonii) was listed by the U.S. Fish 

and Wildlife Service as threatened on 

May 23, 1996. Section 9 of the Act (16 

U.S.C. 1531 et seq.) and its 

implementing regulations prohibit the 

‘‘take’’ of fish or wildlife species listed 

as endangered or threatened. ‘‘Take’’ is 

defined under the Act to include the 

following activities: ‘‘[T]o harass, harm, 

pursue, hunt, shoot, wound, kill, trap, 

capture, or collect, or to attempt to 

engage in any such conduct’’ (16 U.S.C. 

1532); however, under section 

10(a)(1)(B) of the Act, we may issue 

permits to authorize incidental take of 

listed species. ‘‘Incidental take’’ is 

defined by the Act as take that is 

incidental to, and not the purpose of, 

carrying out of an otherwise lawful 

activity. Regulations governing 

incidental take permits for threatened 

and endangered species are, 

respectively, in the Code of Federal 

Regulations at 50 CFR 17.32 and 17.22. 

Issuance of an incidental take permit 

also must not jeopardize the existence of 

federally listed fish, wildlife, or plant 

species. All species included in the 

incidental take permit would receive 

assurances under our ‘‘No Surprises’’ 

regulations (50 CFR 17.22(b)(5) and 

17.32(b)(5)). 

CEMEX has applied for renewal of a 

permit for the incidental take of the 

threatened California red-legged frog. 

The potential taking would occur by 

activities associated with operations and 

maintenance of settlement ponds 1 

through 7, habitat management and 

enhancement activities at the existing 

mitigation ponds, and possible 

reclamation activities of settlement 

ponds 2X and 5 at CEMEX’s Bonny 

Doon Quarries. The Bonny Doon 

Quarries are located just north of the 

city of Davenport (Santa Cruz County), 

California. An incidental take permit 

was first issued for the project on 

August 5, 1999. Mining activities have 

ceased at the Bonny Doon Quarries; 

however, management and maintenance 

of settlement ponds continues. 

Conditions at the site remain unchanged 

from the time of original permit 

issuance. 

Our Preliminary Determination 

The Service has made a preliminary 

determination that renewal of the 

permit is not a major Federal action that 

will significantly affect the quality of 

the human environment within the 

meaning of section 102(2)(C) of the 

National Environmental Policy Act 

(NEPA), nor will it individually or 

cumulatively have more than a 

negligible effect on the species covered 

in the HCP. Therefore, the permit 

renewal qualifies for a categorical 

exclusion under NEPA as provided by 

the Department of Interior Manual (516 

DM 2, Appendix 1 and 516 DM 8.5).
