ACTION: Notice of availability. 

SUMMARY: We, the U.S. Fish and 

Wildlife Service (Service), have received 

an application from Barkwood 

Development, LLC (applicant) for an 

incidental take permit under the 

Endangered Species Act of 1973, as 

amended (Act). We are considering 

issuance of an incidental take permit 

(ITP) that would authorize the 

applicant’s take of the federally 

endangered Morro shoulderband snail 

(Helminthoglypta walkeriana) 

incidental to a 5.5-acre (239,580-square 

foot) redevelopment project in the 

community of Los Osos, San Luis 

Obispo County, California. We invite 

comments from the public on the 

application, which includes the Bahia 

Vista Estates Habitat Conservation Plan 

(HCP), and on our preliminary 

determination that the HCP qualifies as 

a low-effect plan that is eligible for a 

categorical exclusion under the National 

Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of 

1969, as amended. 

DATES: To ensure consideration, please 

send your written comments by October 

27, 2010. 

ADDRESSES: You may download a copy 

of the HCP, draft Environmental Action 

Statement, Low-Effect Screening Form, 

and related documents on the Internet at 

http://www.fws.gov/ventura/, or you 

may request documents by U.S. mail or 

phone (see below). Please address 

written comments to Diane K. Noda, 

Field Supervisor, Ventura Fish and 

Wildlife Office, U.S. Fish and Wildlife 

Service, 2493 Portola Road, Suite B, 

Ventura, CA 93003. You may 

alternatively send comments by 

facsimile to (805) 644–3958. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Julie 

M. Vanderwier, Fish and Wildlife 

Biologist, or Jen Lechuga, HCP 

Coordinator, at the Ventura address

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

The Morro shoulderband (also known 

as banded dune) snail was listed by the 

U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service as 

endangered on December 15, 1994 (59 

FR 64613). 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: to harass, harm, 

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


srobinson on DSKHWCL6B1PROD with NOTICES
59286 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 186 / Monday, September 27, 2010 / Notices 

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 ITP also must not 

jeopardize the existence of federally 

listed fish, wildlife, or plant species. 

The Act’s take prohibitions do not 

apply to federally listed plant species on 

private lands unless such take would be 

in violation of State law. In addition to 

meeting other criteria, actions 

undertaken through implementation of 

the HCP must not jeopardize the 

continued existent of federally listed 

plant or animal species. 

The applicant seeks an ITP for direct 

impacts to 5.5 acres to ruderal, 

disturbed, and landscaped habitat 

occupied by Morro shoulderband snail 

in association with a residential 

redevelopment project. The project is 

proposed for a single Residential Single 

Family-zoned parcel located along Los 

Osos Valley Road, between Pine and 

Broderson Avenues in the west-central 

portion of the unincorporated 

community of Los Osos, San Luis 

Obispo County, California. The parcel is 

legally described as Assessor Parcel 

Number 074–052–049. The site was 

originally developed for residential use 

more than 50 years ago and most of the 

original residential structures remain on 

the site. The applicant is requesting a 

20-year ITP for take of Morro 

shoulderband snail that would result 

from the ‘‘Covered Activities’’ that 

would include the subdivision of land, 

demolition and removal of existing 

structures, grubbing and regrading of the 

site, installation of site infrastructure, 

phased construction of up to 26 new 

homes, and occupation of these homes. 

The applicant proposes to avoid, 

minimize, and mitigate take of Morro 

shoulderband snails associated with the 

covered activities by fully implementing 

the plan. The following measures will 

be implemented to minimize the effects 

of the taking: (1) A Service-approved 

biologist who possesses a valid recovery 

permit for the species will conduct 

preconstruction and construction 

monitoring activities throughout project 

implementation, inclusive of both 

construction phases, and as needed 

during all facets of project construction 

when measurable rain or heavy fog/dew 

occurs; (2) all live Morro shoulderband 

snails that are found during the preconstruction surveys or construction 

monitoring will be relocated to 

appropriate habitat at a Serviceapproved parcel by the Serviceapproved biologist; (3) the Serviceapproved biologist will conduct a 

preconstruction training meeting for all 

personnel who will work onsite during 

construction; and (4) the applicant will 

provide a Letter of Credit to ensure 

adequate funding is available to perform 

these tasks. The following measure will 

be implemented to mitigate for 

unavoidable take: Payment of no less 

than $50,000 to the ‘‘Morro 

Shoulderband Snail in-Lieu Fee 

Account (ID #52–138–4139) held by the 

National Fish and Wildlife Foundation. 

This funding will implement recovery 

tasks identified in the Recovery Plan for 

the Morro Shoulderband Snail and Four 

Plants from Western San Luis Obispo 

County, California (USFWS, 1998) by 

facilitating: (1) Development and 

preparation of a standardized survey 

methodology for Morro shoulderband 

snail populations on conserved lands, 

(2) implementation of species surveys 

using the standardized methodology on 

selected conserved parcels, (3) 

compilation and analysis of the 

collected data, and (4) preparation of a 

final report that presents the study 

results and Morro shoulderband snail 

population estimates on those surveyed 

lands. 

In the proposed HCP, the applicant 

considers three alternatives to the 

proposed action. Under the ‘‘No Action’’ 

alternative, current conditions would be 

maintained, the HCP for Morro 

shoulderband snail would not be 

implemented, and the Service would 

not issue an ITP. The other alternatives 

include an alternative location for the 

project and project redesign. 

We are requesting comments on our 

preliminary determination that the 

applicant’s proposal will have a minor 

or negligible effect on the Morro 

shoulderband snail and that the plan 

qualifies as a low-effect HCP as defined 

by our Habitat Conservation Planning 

Handbook (November 1996). We base 

our determinations on three criteria: (1) 

Implementation of the proposed project 

as described in the HCP would result in 

minor or negligible effects on federally 

listed, proposed, and/or candidate 

species and their habitats; (2) 

implementation of the HCP would result 

in minor negligible effects on other 

environmental values or resources; and 

(3) HCP impacts, considered together 

with those of other past, present, and 

reasonably foreseeable future projects, 

would not result in cumulatively 

significant effects. Based upon our 

analysis of these criteria, we have made 

a preliminary determination that the 

approval of the HCP and issuance of an 

ITP qualify for categorical exclusions 

under the NEPA (42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq.), 

as provided by the Department of 

Interior Manual (516 DM 2 Appendix 2 

and 516 DM 8). Based upon our review 

of public comments that we receive in 

response to this notice, this preliminary 

determination may be revised. 

Next Steps 

We will evaluate the permit 

application, including the plan and 

comments we receive, to determine 

whether the application meets the 

requirements of section 10(a) of the Act. 

We will also evaluate whether issuance 

of the ITP would comply with Section 

7 of the Act by conducting an intraService Section 7 consultation for the 

plan. We will use the results of this 

consultation, in combination with the 

above findings, in our final analysis to 

determine whether or not to issue the 

ITP. If the requirements are met, we will 

issue an ITP to the applicant for the 

incidental take of Morro shoulderband 

snail. We will make the final permit 

decision no sooner than 30 days after 

the date of this notice.
