DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR
Finding of No Significant Impact for Incidental Take Permits for
the Construction of Single Family Residences at the Specific Site
Locations Below in Travis County, Texas
AGENCY: Fish and Wildlife Service, Interior.
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) has prepared an
Environmental Assessment for issuance of Section 10(a)(1)(B) permits
for the incidental take of the Federally endangered golden-cheeked
warbler (Dendroica chrysoparia) during the construction and operation
of single-family residences in Travis County, Texas.
Proposed Action
The proposed action is the issuance of permits under Section
10(a)(1)(B) of the Endangered Species Act to authorize the incidental
take of the golden-cheeked warbler.
The Applicant (Howard L. Burris Jr.) plans to construct single-
family residences at the specific sites indicated in Block D, Section
4, Jester Point 2: Lot 35 aka 7116 Foxtree Cove (PRT-798292), Lot 19
aka 7115 Foxtree Cove (PRT-798296), Lot 20 aka 7113 Foxtree Cove (PRT-
798290), Lot 23 aka 7107 Foxtree Cove (PRT-798289), Lot 22, aka 7109
Foxtree Cove (PRT-798288), Lot 21 aka 7111 Foxtree Cove (PRT-798286),
Lot 28 aka 7102 Foxtree Cove (PRT-798302), Lot 27 aka 7100 Foxtree Cove
(PRT-798295), Lot 25 aka 7103 Foxtree Cove (PRT-798297), Lot 36 aka
7200 Foxtree Cove (PRT-798301), Lot 323 aka 7112 Foxtree Cove (PRT-
798293), Lot 15 aka 7205 Foxtree Cove (PRT-798294), Lot 34 aka 7114
Foxtree Cove (PRT-798299), Lot 18 aka 7117 Foxtree Cove (PRT-798291),
Lot 17 aka 7201 Foxtree Cove (PRT-798300), and Lot 24 aka 7105 Foxtree
Cove (PRT-798298).
The proposed construction and operation of single-family residences
will comply with all local, State, and Federal environmental
regulations addressing environmental impacts associated with this type
of development. Details of the mitigation are provided in the
individual Environmental Assessment/Habitat Conservation Plans. These
conservation plan actions ensure that the criteria established for
issuance of an incidental take permits will be fully satisfied.
Alternatives Considered
1. Proposed action,
2. Alternate site locations,
3. Alternate site designs,
4. Wait for issuance of a regional Section 10(a)(1)(B) permit
5. No action.
Determination
Based upon information contained in the Environmental Assessment/
Habitat Conservation Plans, the Service has determined that this action
is not a major Federal action which would significantly affect the
quality of the human environment with the meaning of Section 102(2)(c)
of the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969. Accordingly, the
preparation of Environmental Impact Statements on the proposed action
is not warranted.
It is my decision to issue the Section 10(a)(1)(B) permits for the
construction and operation of the single-family residences at the sites
specified above in Travis County, Texas.
Lynn B. Starnes,
Acting Regional Director, Region 2, Albuquerque, New Mexico.
