Dear Mr. Wrona,
Thank you for submitting your Pennsylvania Natural Diversity Inventory (PNDI) Large Project Environmental Review request.
The Pennsylvania Game Commission (PGC) screened this project for potential impacts to species and resources of concern under PGC responsibility, which includes birds and mammals only.
Potential Impact Anticipated PNDI records indicate species or resources of concern are located in the vicinity of the project.
However, based on the fact that the project will involve no new construction, earth moving activities, and/or tree clearing, that any/all related maintenance activities will be restricted to the existing right-of-way corridors, the immediate location of the project area, and our detailed resource information, the PGC has determined that no impacts to state listed threatened or endangered bird or mammal species are likely.
However, it appears that portions of the above referenced project are-located within close proximity to State Game Lands # 234. Please contact the Southeast Regional Office at (610) 926-3136 to discuss the project activities and. coordinate obtaining the necessary approvals if your project will impact State Game Lands. It is recommended that you coordinate with Game Commission Staff early in your project planning process.
This response represents the most up-to-date summary of the PNDI data files and is valid for one (1) year from the date of this letter. An absence of recorded information does not necessarily imply actual conditions on site. Should project plans change or additional information on listed or proposed species become available, this determination may be reconsidered.
Mr. David Wrona November 17, 2011 Should the proposed work continue beyond the period covered by this letter, please resubmit the project to this agency as an "Update" (including an updated PNDI receipt, project narrative and accurate map). If the proposed work has not changed and no additional information concerning listed species is found, the project will be cleared for PNDI requirements under this agency for an additional year.
This finding applies to impacts to birds and mammals only. To complete your review of state and federally-listed threatened and endangered species and species of special concern, please be sure that the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the PA Department of Conservation and Natural Resources, and/or the PA Fish and Boat Commission have been contacted regarding this project as directed by the online PNDI ER Tool found at www.naturalheritage. state.pa.us.
