under the National Environmental Policy Act NEPA; 42 U.S.C. 4231 et seq.. To make this determination, we used our environmental action statement and low-effect screening form, both of which are also available for public review.
Project The applicant requests a 5-year ITP to take sand skinks through the conversion of approximately 14.5 acres ac of occupied sand skink foraging and sheltering habitat incidental to the construction of an industrial warehouse complex located on a 36.51-ac parcel in Section 26; Township 22 South; Range 26 East, Lake County, Florida, identified by Parcel ID numbers 0922261100
04100001 and 0922261100055
00001. The applicant proposes to mitigate for take of the sand skinks by the purchase of 29.0 credits from Lake Wales Ridge Conservation Bank or another Service-approved Conservation Bank. The Service would require the applicant to purchase the credits prior to engaging in activities associated with the project on the parcel.
Public Availability of Comments Before including your address, phone number, email address, or other personal identifying information in your comment, be aware that your entire comment, including your personal identifying information, may be made available to the public. While you may request that we withhold your personal identifying information, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to do so.
Our Preliminary Determination The Service has made a preliminary determination that the applicants project, including land clearing, infrastructure building, landscaping, and the proposed mitigation measures, would individually and cumulatively have a minor or negligible effect on sand skinks and the environment. Therefore, we have preliminarily concluded that the ITP for this project would qualify for categorical exclusion and the HCP is low effect under our NEPA regulations at 43 CFR 46.205 and 46.210. A loweffect HCP is one that would result in 1 minor or negligible effects on federally listed, proposed, and candidate species and their habitats; 2
minor or negligible effects on other environmental values or resources; and, 3 impacts that, when considered together with the impacts of other past, present, and reasonably foreseeable similarly situated projects, would not over time result in significant cumulative effects to environmental values or resources.
