Fish and Wildlife Service

Availability of an Environmental

Assessment and Receipt of an

Application for an Incidental Take

Permit for a Project Called Waterside

Down, Phase I, a Mixed-Use Project, in

Brevard County, Florida

AGENCY: Fish and Wildlife Service,

Interior.

ACTION: Notice.

SUMMARY: Waterside Down

Development Corporation (Applicant),

is seeking an incidental take permit

from the Fish and Wildlife Service

(Service), pursuant to Section

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

Act of 1973 (Act), as amended. The

permit would authorize the take of four

families of the threatened Florida scrub

jay, Aphelocoma coerulescens

coerulescens in Brevard County,

Florida, for a period of 5 years. The

proposed taking is incidental to

construction of 211 single family homes,

plus as yet unspecified number of

condominium units and commercial

buildings, including the necessary

infrastructure, on approximately 76.5

acres (Project). The entire site is

considered occupied by Florida scrub

jays and will be permanently altered.

The Project is called Waterside Down,

and it is located on the barrier island of

Brevard County, adjacent to a Wal Mart/

Albertson strip mall and Britanny

Apartments to the north, S.R. A1A to

the east, Holy Name of Jesus Church and

a residential development to the south,

and vacant land scheduled to be

Waterside Down Phase II on the west.

The Service also announces the

availability of an environmental

assessment (EA) and habitat

conservation plan (HCP) for the

incidental take application. Copies of

the EA or HCP may be obtained by

making a request to the Regional Office

address below. This notice also advises

the public that the Service has made a

preliminary determination that issuing

the incidental take permit is not a major

Federal action significantly affecting the

quality of the human environment

within the meaning of Section 102(2)(C)

of the National Environmental Policy

Act of 1969, as amended. The Finding

of No Significant Impact is based on

information contained in the EA and

HCP. The final determination will be

made no sooner than 30 days from the

date of this notice. This notice is

provided pursuant to Section 10(c) of

the Act and National Environmental

Policy Act Regulations (40 CFR 1506.6).

DATES: Written comments on the permit

application, EA and HCP should be

received on or before April 24, 1995.

ADDRESSES: Persons wishing to review

the application, HCP, and EA may

obtain a copy by writing the Service’s

Southeast Regional Office, Atlanta,

Georgia. Documents will also be

available for public inspection by

appointment during normal business

hours at the Regional Office, or the

Jacksonville, Florida, Field Office.

Written data or comments concerning

the application, EA, or HCP should be

submitted to the Regional Office. Please

reference permit under PRT–800150 in

such comments.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Florida, Field Office, or Rick G. Gooch

at the Atlanta, Georgia, Regional Office.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Aphelocoma coerulescens coerulescens

is geographically isolated from other

subspecies of scrub jays found in

Mexico and the Western United States.

The Florida scrub jay is found almost

exclusively in peninsular Florida and is

restricted to scrub habitat. The total

estimated population is between 7,000

and 11,000 individuals. Due to habitat

loss and degradation throughout the

State of Florida, it has been estimated

that the Florida scrub jay population has

been reduced by at least half in the last

100 years. Surveys have indicated that

two families of Florida scrub jays

inhabit the Project site. Construction of

the Project’s infrastructure and

subsequent construction of the

individual homesites will likely result

in death of, or injury to, Aphelocoma

coerulescens coerulescens incidental to

the carrying out of these otherwise

lawful activities. Habitat alteration

associated with property development

will reduce the availability of feeding,

shelter, and nesting habitat.

The EA considers the environmental

consequences of three alternatives. The

no action alternative may result in loss
