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 lim
