SUMMARY: Gray Mountain, Ltd.

(FONSI) will not be made until at least

60 days from the date of publication of

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 9

of the Act prohibits the ‘‘taking’’ of

endangered species such as the goldencheeked warbler. However, the Service,

under limited circumstances, may issue

permits to take endangered wildlife

species incidental to, and not the

purpose of, otherwise lawful activities.

Regulations governing permits for

endangered species are at 50 CFR 17.22.

Applicant: Gray Mountain, Ltd. plans

to construct and operate a six-unit

Condominium and one single-family

residence, with associated access road/

driveway, utilities, and other associated

improvements and facilities, on portions

of the approximately 29.86-acre

property. As proposed, the six-unit

condominium will be constructed on

Lot One and the single-family residence

will be constructed on Lot two,

Coldwater Section one, Phase A, Travis

County, Texas. This action will

eliminate approximately 4.6 acres of

habitat and indirectly impact 14.4

additional acres of golden-cheeked

warbler habitat. The Applicant proposes

to compensate for this incidental take of

golden-cheeked warbler habitat by

donating through fee simple or

conservation easement to Travis County

the remaining 25.26 acres of the

property, and providing an additional

$33,250.00 to the Balcones Canyonlands

Preserve, as administered by Travis

County and managed by the City of

Austin, for the specific purpose of land

acquisition within golden-cheeked

warbler habitat or for the management

and maintenance of existing preserve

lands. This on-site mitigation land is

adjacent to existing Balcones

Canyonlands Preserve land and will be

managed by the City of Austin as such.
