EMR CCAA agreement is a 10-year 

agreement between the U.S. Fish and 

Wildlife Service and the Wisconsin 

DNR. The permit application, the EMR 

CCAA, and the Environmental 

Assessment applicable to this 

application are available for review on 

the Service’s Web site at: http:// 

www.fws.gov/midwest/endangered/lists/ 

candidat.html. The purpose of the 

proposed activities is enhancement of 

the survival of the species in the wild. 

Permit Application Number: TE207523. 

Applicant: The Nature Conservancy, 

Lansing, MI. 

The applicant requests a permit 

amendment to take Karner Blue 

Butterfly (Lycaeides melissa samuelis)

Take may occur during habitat 

management activities designed to 

enhance the available habitat for the 

species. Proposed activities are expected 

to increase habitat for both species and 

are aimed at enhancement of survival of 

the species in the wild.
