Clarksfield Development Project within Millerton New Town California Endangered Species Act Incidental Take Permit No. 2081-2014-077-04 (ITP) Amendment 1

The Project consists of a new 249.9-acre planned community. Major Amendment No. 2 allows for Project development and compensatory mitigation to occur in two distinct phases. The Project will impact approximately 248 acres of California tiger salamander (Ambystoma californiense; CTS) upland habitat and 2.4 acres of potential breeding habitat for a total of approximately 250 acres of impacts. Major Amendment No. 2 will not result in additional impacts to CTS. The Project is expected to result in incidental take of CTS, a species designated as threatened under the California Endangered Species Act. The ITP referenced above as issued by CDFW authorizes incidental take of species listed under CESA that may occur as a result of Project implementation.
