The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service published a notice of availability for an incidental take permit (ITP) application and proposed habitat conservation plan (HCP) submitted by Prosperity Wind LLC for a 300 MW, 50-turbine wind project in Piatt County, Illinois. The requested 6-year ITP would authorize take of the Indiana bat, northern long-eared bat (both federally endangered), and the proposed-endangered tricolored bat incidental to turbine operation on roughly 23,779 acres. The Service preliminarily determined the action qualifies as low-effect and may be eligible for a categorical exclusion under NEPA. Public comments were due May 29, 2024.
