Department staff has reviewed the information transmitted by your letter of<br />

September 30, 1998 concerning the referenced project.<br />

As indicated by the attached imagery, particularly sensitive wildlife habitats that<br />

should incorporate planning considerations within this study area include mature<br />

woodlands, riparian vegetation associated with creek drainages, native<br />

grasslands, and wetlands. <strong>Development</strong> of project alternative alignments should<br />

include considerations for sequentially avoiding, minimizing or compensating<br />

losses of these sensitive habitats. Where possible, water and wastewater lines<br />

should follow existing rights-of-way. Mitigation measures to offset unavoidable<br />

losses to these habitats should be included in project planning. Such measures<br />

may include provisions for tree and shrub plantings and for revegetation of<br />

disturbed areas using native plant species.<br />

Please contact Ms. Shannon Breslin at 512-912-7021 for specific information<br />

concerning threatened and endangered species.<br />

Thank you for early coordination on this project.<br />
