3.4 THREATENED AND ENDANGERED SPECIES COORDINATION

A Biological Assessment (BA) was prepared for BIN 5500969, and a Biological Evaluation (BE)was prepared for BINs 1040550, 5500870, 5500890, 5521680, and 1005080, to addresspotential impacts on federal and state protected threatened, endangered, or proposed species.The BA is included in Part 7 – Engineering Data. The BEs are available upon request. For allsix locations, a may affect, not likely to adversely affect determination was concluded for Indianabat and northern long-eared bat. Tree removals (direct count or acreage) are estimated asfollows:

BIN 1040550 - 48 trees;

BIN 5500969 - 3.3 acres identified in the BA;

BIN 5500870 – 110 trees;

BIN 5500890 – 140 trees;

BIN 5521680 – 9 trees;

BIN 1005080 – 20 trees.

Actual tree removals may be less.



Tree removals in excess of those stated above may require the Department to coordinate withthe lead Federal Agencies and US Fish and Wildlife Service. The Design-Builder shall preparethe necessary documentation for the Department’s use in gaining the needed approvals.

For BIN 5500969, a may affect, not likely to adversely affect determination was also concludedfor the bog turtle.

In order to maintain USFWS and/or NYSDEC threatened and endangered species concurrence,the Design-Builder shall comply with the following mitigation measures:

All locations: Removal of any trees greater than 3 inches in diameter at breast heightshall occur between October 31 and March 31.

BIN 5500969: The Design-Builder is responsible for fulfilling all constructioncommitments to USFWS that are contained in the BA for this bridge. Constructioncommitments include, but are not limited to, the following:

Work between 6 8 pm and 8 am is prohibited. The tree removal areas shall bedelineated with silt fence and/or orange fencing. A double row of silt fence shall beinstalled outside the Wetland D/K-31 boundary to exclude any potential bog turtles thatmay wander into the work zone and minimize both soil disturbance and potentialsedimentation. The silt fence installation shall occur between October 31 and March 31.Placement of heavy equipment needed for tree removal from Wetland D/K-31 shall berestricted to the roadway and/or road embankment whenever possible. If work isneeded in this wetland, timber mats shall be used to support heavy equipment to reducesoil disturbance and compaction. If the placement of timber mats occurs between Apriland October (outside the bog turtle hibernation window), a bog turtle specialist with astate permit will monitor for turtles and remove the turtles from the work area, if any arefound.

BINs 5500870 and 5500890: The tree removal at these two bridges shall be minimizedand is not permitted west of the Saw Mill River. Therefore it is anticipated that the actualtree removal quantities will be considerably less than the estimated 110 and 140 trees.

BIN 5521680: It is anticipated that the Department will cut the trees before March 31,2015. The Design-Builder shall satisfy themselves that the tree cutting has occurred.Removal of the cut trees shall be the responsibility of the Design-Builder.

BIN 1005080: In order to avoid impact to wintering bald eagles, no blasting (if required)shall occur from December 1st to March 31st. Perch deterrents shall be placed on anycranes or other tall equipment.
