SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is
considering an application under the
Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act
(16 U.S.C. 668a–d; BGEPA) for a
programmatic golden eagle (Aquila
chrysaetos) take permit from West Butte
Wind Power, LLC. The company plans
to develop the West Butte wind-power
project in central Oregon, and there is
a risk of eagle fatalities as a result of the
operation of this facility. The
application includes an avian and bat
protection plan combined with an eagle
conservation plan that describes actions
taken and proposed future actions to
avoid, minimize, and mitigate adverse
effects on eagles. The eagle conservation
plan was developed in collaboration
with the Service.
The Draft Environmental Assessment
(DEA) analyzes the alternatives
associated with this permit application
in light of our BGEPA permitting
regulations in the Code of Federal
Regulations (CFR) at 50 CFR 22.26. If
the results of this analysis lead us to
issue this permit, it will be the first
programmatic permit issued under these
new regulations, as well as the first
eagle take permit issued to a windenergy company.
Background
BGEPA allows us to authorize bald
eagle and golden eagle programmatic
take (take that is recurring, is not caused
solely by indirect effects, and that

PO 00000

Frm 00057

Fmt 4703

Sfmt 4703

129

occurs over the long term or in a
location or locations that cannot be
specifically identified). Such take must
be incidental to actions that are
otherwise lawful. BGEPA’s
implementing regulations define ‘‘take’’
as ‘‘to pursue, shoot, shoot at, poison,
wound, kill, capture, trap, collect,
destroy, molest, or disturb individuals,
their nests and eggs’’ (50 CFR 22.3); and
‘‘disturb’’ is further defined as ‘‘to
agitate or bother a bald or golden eagle
to a degree that causes * * * injury to
an eagle, * * * a decrease in its
productivity, * * * or nest
abandonment’’ (50 CFR 22.3). The West
Butte Wind Project potentially will
result in one or more recurring eagle
mortalities over the life of the project, so
the appropriate type of take permit is
the programmatic permit under 50 CFR
22.26.
To obtain a programmatic permit
under BGEPA and 50 CFR 22.26, the
applicant must (1) avoid and minimize
take to the maximum extent achievable;
(2) conduct adequate monitoring to
determine effects; (3) offset through
compensatory mitigation any remaining
take, such that the net effect on the eagle
population is, at a minimum, no change
for eagle management populations that
cannot sustain additional mortality; and
(4) ensure that the direct and indirect
effects of the take and required
mitigation, together with the cumulative
effects of other permitted take and
additional factors affecting eagle
populations, are compatible with the
preservation of bald eagles and golden
eagles.
Applicant’s Proposal
The 104-megawatt (MW) project is to
be built in Crook and Deschutes
Counties, Oregon. As a result of
monitoring studies conducted on the
proposed project site, the applicant
considers the use of the site by eagles to
be low, and has requested in their
application a permit for the legal take of
‘‘1 to 2 Golden Eagles over the 20 to 30
year life of the project.’’
The applicant developed an eagle
conservation plan, following
recommendations provided by the
Service (Draft Eagle Conservation Plan
Guidance, January 2011, http://
www.fws.gov/windenergy/docs/
ECP_draft_guidance_2_10_final_
clean_omb.pdf). As recommended in
the Service’s guidance, the applicant’s
plan outlines avoidance and
minimization measures and advanced
conservation practices, assesses risk
from pre-construction monitoring data,
makes commitments for mitigating eagle
mortalities, and commits to postconstruction monitoring. This plan was
