F. For GCWA, 6,000 acres of direct and indirect take are authorized over the life of the Permit. These impacts will be mitigated by a combination of purchasing mitigation credits from Hickory Pass Conservation Bank and/or other nearby conservation banks or by creating GCWA preserves. G. For BCVI, up to 4,267 acres of take are authorized over the life of the Permit. These impacts are mitigated primarily through habitat restoration, habitat management, enhancement of existing protected BCVI habitat, or an alternate, Service -approved mitigation program. H. On parcels covered by Participation Agreements, vegetation clearing activities within 300 feet of habitat will be conducted outside the GCWA or BCVI breeding seasons, as applicable, unless breeding season surveys performed by an Endangered Species Act section 10(a)(1)(A)-permitted biologist indicate that no GCWA or BCVI are present within 300 feet of the desired activity, or as otherwise approved on a case -by -case basis by the Service. The breeding season for the GCWA is March 1 to August 1. The breeding season for the BCVI is March 15 to September 1. I. Construction activities within, or within 300 feet of, GCWA or BCVI habitat may be conducted year round as long as such construction follows permitted clearing, as referenced above, in a reasonably prompt and expeditious manner indicating continuous activity. J. For Bone Cave harvestman and Coffin Cave mold beetle, up to 210 caves occupied by one or both species are authorized to be impacted. These impacts will be mitigated by acquiring and managing 9 to 15 karst fauna areas (KFAs), a minimum of three KFAs in each of the karst fauna regions occupied by the covered species. K. Clearing and construction activities authorized under this Permit shall be consistent with the current practices recommended by the Texas Forest Service to prevent the spread of oak wilt. L.

Type: City Manager Item Governing Body: City Manager Approval Agenda Date: 1/31/2020 Dept Director: Gary Hudder, Transportation Director Cost: Indexes: Attachments: WCCF participation agreement - Wyoming Springs - not executed Department: Transportation Department Text of Legislative File CM -2020-037 The Wyoming Springs Road Segment 1 project consists of extending Wyoming Springs Blvd from Creekbend at the south end to Old Settler's Blvd on the north end. The roadway will be a new 4 -lane divided arterial roadway with off-street shared use paths. The road will clear Hairy Man Road and Dry Fork creek as well as create a path that intersects with the existing hike and bike trail along Hairy Man Road. Environmental clearance and design are anticipated to be completed in summer 2021 with construction to begin in early 2022. The City of Round Rock intends on participating in the Williamson County Regional Habitat Conservation Plan for this project which is managed by the Williamson County Conservation Foundation. To participate in the Plan, the City of Round Rock agrees to conduct only specific proposed activities on the property and to protect species covered and listed as part of the participation agreement. The City of Round Rock has paid to the Foundation the calculated fee of $8,000.00 to participate in the Conservation Plan. 0:ttya(RoundRock Page f Pdnted on 113012020
