Spring Mountain Raceway Northern Expansion Habitat Conservation Plan and Desert Tortoise Compliance Support
Spring Mountain Raceway, LLC (SMR) contracted AG真人游戏 Environmental, Inc.

AG真人游戏 assisted SMR with coordination and consultation with the US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) to obtain an Incidental Take Permit for required prior to construction activities. AG真人游戏 met with SMR and the USFWS and identified the steps and a timeline, additional data to be collected, and the documents needed to support acquisition of the Permit. The project area was surveyed during the land transfer process. AG真人游戏 reviewed and re-analyzed data generated from the surveys conducted. Utilizing this information, AG真人游戏 developed a Habitat Conservation Plan to assess potential impacts tortoises, and measures to avoid, minimize, and mitigate those impacts, including development of a Desert Tortoise Translocation Plan. AG真人游戏 also developed an Environmental Assessment (EA) of the potential impacts of the granting of the Permit and the resulting construction of the expanded facilities. AG真人游戏 developed drafts of the Incidental Take Permit (ITP) Application Form and Notice of Availability. AG真人游戏 completed final documents addressing public comments received, followed by USFWS development of the Finding of No Significant Impact and was granted ITP.
