*Incidental Take Notice For Adams County*

?

*MADISON, Wis.*?? The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR) proposes to issue an authorization for?the incidental taking of a rare dragonfly, which may result from the Y-47/Y-145 Transmission Line Rebuild Project in Adams County.?

Incidental take refers to the unintentional loss of individual endangered or threatened animals or plants that does not put the species' overall population at risk.

American Transmission Company is proposing a transmission line project that involves rebuilding existing transmission lines. The existing wood structures are in poor condition and approaching the end of their useful life.?

The presence of the state endangered incurvate emerald is confirmed in the vicinity of the project site. DNR staff determined that the proposed project may result in the incidental taking of some dragonfly.

The DNR concludes that the proposed project will minimize the impacts to the species by adhering to conservation measures; is not likely to jeopardize the continued existence and recovery of the state population of the species or the whole plant-animal community of which they are a part; and has benefit to the public health, safety or welfare that justifies the action.

Conservation measures to minimize the adverse effect on the endangered species will be incorporated into the proposed Incidental Take Permit. Copies of the jeopardy assessment and background information on the incurvate emerald are available by visiting the DNR Incidental Take Public Notices webpage [ [link removed] ] or upon request from DNR Conservation Biologist Stacy Rowe at [email protected] <[email protected]>?or 608-228-9796.

The public is encouraged to submit written comments regarding project-related impacts to the?incurvate emerald by Dec. 16, 2023 to:
