September 11, 2024 Project Code: 2024-0006782
Dear Ms. Arlene:
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) has received your recent correspondence requesting information about the subject proposal. We offer the following comments and recommendations to assist you in minimizing and avoiding adverse effects to threatened and endangered species pursuant to the Endangered Species Act of 1973 (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq), as amended (ESA).
The Service has reviewed your project description and concurs with your determination that the project, as proposed, is not likely to adversely affect the federally endangered Indiana bat (Myotis sodalis), northern long-eared bat (Myotis septentrionalis), piping plover (Charadrius melodus), red knot (Calidris canutus rufa), the candidate monarch butterfly (Danaus plexippus),
and the proposed endangered tricolored bat (Perimyotis subflavus).
This concludes consultation on this action as required by section 7(a)(2) of the ESA. Should, during the term of this action, additional information on listed or proposed species or their critical habitat become available, or if new information reveals effects of the action that were not previously considered, consultation with the Service should be reinitiated to assess whether the determinations are still valid.
If you have questions, or if we can be of further assistance in this matter, please contact our office at (614) 416-8993 or ohio@fws.gov.
Sincerely, Erin Knoll Field Office Supervisor cc: Nathan Reardon, ODNR-DOW Eileen Wyza, ODNR-DOW United States Department of the Interior FISH AND WILDLIFE SERVICE Ecological Services 4625 Morse Road, Suite 104 Columbus, Ohio 43230 (614) 416-8993 / FAX (614) 416-8994
