Document Description
The Clarksfield Development Project within Millerton New Town (Development Project) will involve the development of a residential community over approximately 369.5 acres of grasslands and oak woodlands, portions of which adjoin the seasonal White Fox Creek. The Development Project will result in impacts to 249.9 acres of California tiger salamander (Ambystoma californiense) habitat, including permanent impacts to 246.5 acres of upland habitat and 2.4 acres of potential breeding habitat (a stockpond) for the species. The Development Project is expected to result in incidental take of California tiger salamander, which is designated as a threatened species 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.
The Amendment adds 104 Investments LLC as co-Permittee and joint and several liability between the Permittees. No changes were made to the Development Project description, its impacts, or the ITP’s Conditions of Approval.
