ACTION: Notice of receipt of application
for an incidental take permit (ITP);
availability of proposed low-effect
habitat conservation plans (HCP);
request for comment/information.
SUMMARY: We, the Fish and Wildlife
Service (Service), announce the
availability of an incidental take permit
(ITP) application and habitat
conservation plan (HCP). Lake County
Public Works (applicant) requests a 5year ITP under the Endangered Species
Act of 1973, as amended (Act). The
applicant anticipates taking
approximately 0.10 acres (ac) of sand
skink (Neoseps reynoldsi)—occupied
habitat incidental to realignment of
Hancock road and construction of three
storm water retention ponds in Lake
County, Florida (project). The
applicant’s HCP describes the mitigation
and minimization measures the

applicant proposes to address the effects
of the project to the sand skink.
DATES: We must receive any written
comments on the ITP application and
HCP on or before December 30, 2009.
ADDRESSES: If you wish to review the
application and HCP, you may write the

Background
Due to the reduction in quality and
acreage of xeric (bare, scrub-like areas
with sandy soils, open canopies) upland
communities, and the rapid
development occurring in these areas,
the sand skink is reportedly declining
throughout most of its range. By some
estimates, as much as 90 percent of the
scrub ecosystem has already been lost to
residential development and conversion
to agriculture, including citrus groves.
Applicant’s Proposal
The applicant is requesting take of
approximately 0.10 ac of occupied sand
skink habitat incidental to the project.
The 21.83-ac project is located east of
US Highway 27, west of Ronald Reagan
Turnpike and north of Old Highway 50,

Section 8, 9, 16, 17, Township 22 South,
Range 26 East, Lake County, Florida.
The proposed project currently includes
realignment of a portion of Turkey
Farms Road and the intersection of Old
Highway 50 and with the North
Hancock Road Extension for safety
purposes. The project also includes
three storm water retention ponds to
address runoff associated with the
realigned roadway. The applicant
proposes to mitigate for the take of the
sand skink at a ratio of 2:1 based on
Service Mitigation Guidelines. The
applicant proposes to mitigate for 0.10
ac of impacts by purchasing 0.20 ac of
occupied sand skink habitat in Polk
County, Florida, within the boundaries
of the Lake Wales Ridge.
We have determined that the
applicant’s proposal, including the
proposed mitigation and minimization
measures, would have minor or
negligible effects on the species covered
in the HCP. Therefore, we are making a
preliminary determination that the ITP
is a ‘‘low-effect’’ project and qualifies
for categorical exclusion under the
National Environmental Policy Act
(NEPA), as provided by the Department
of the Interior Manual (516 DM 2
Appendix 1 and 516 DM 6 Appendix 1).
We may revise this preliminary
determination based on our review of
public comments we receive in response
to this notice. A low-effect HCP is one
involving (1) Minor or negligible effects
on federally listed or candidate species
and their habitats, and (2) minor or
negligible effects on other
environmental values or resources.
We will evaluate the HCP and
comments we receive to determine
whether the ITP application meets the
requirements of section 10(a) of the Act
(16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.). If we determine
that the application meets those
requirements, we will issue the ITP for
incidental take of the sand skink. We
will also evaluate whether issuance of
the section 10(a)(1)(B) ITP complies
with section 7 of the Act by conducting
an intra-Service section 7 consultation.
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.
Authority
We provide this notice under Section
10 of the Act and NEPA regulations (40
CFR 1506.6).
Dated: November 20, 2009.
David L. Hankla,
Field Supervisor, Jacksonville Field Office.
