The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service published a notice of availability for a draft supplemental environmental assessment and revised Habitat Conservation Plan submitted by Cardinal Point Wind Farm, LLC, which seeks to amend its existing incidental take permit for a 60-turbine wind project in McDonough and Warren Counties, Illinois. The amendment would raise the authorized take of the tricolored bat from 3 per year (18 total) to 25 per year (150 total) after post-permit monitoring showed actual take was likely to exceed the original authorization. The EA analyzes two alternatives: no action and the proposed ITP amendment. The 30-day public comment period closes August 5, 2024.
