Supplementary Information

Section 9 of the Act and Federal Regulation prohibit the “take” of wildlife species listed as threatened or endangered species. Under the Act, the term “take” means to harass, harm, pursue, hunt, shoot, wound, kill, trap, capture, or collect listed wildlife, or to attempt to engage in any such conduct. The Service may, under limited circumstances, issue permits to authorize incidental take, i.e. that is incidental to, and not the purpose of, the carrying out of an otherwise lawful activity. Regulations governing permits for endangered species are at 50 CFR 17.22. 111 Incidental Take Permits Issued Permittee (State) species Permit No. Date of Issuance Siefert (TX)HT TE-025997-0-005 10/2/00 Bastrop Seventh Day Adventist Church (TX)HT TE-025997-0-003 10/2/00 Becerra (TX)HT TE-025997-0-004 10/2/00 Kummermehr (TX)HT TE-025997-0-010 10/2/00 Jarrels (TX)HT TE-025997-0-006 10/13/00 Circle B Homes (TX)HT TE-025997-0-011 10/13/00 McClure (TX)HT TE-025997-0-014 10/13/00 McClure (TX)HT TE-025997-0-015 10/13/00 Schena (TX)HT TE-029608-0 10/27/00 MacQueen (TX)HT TE-025997-0-021 10/31/00 Ligon (TX)HT TE-025997-0-012 11/21/00 Smith (TX)HT TE-025997-0-024 11/21/00 Lindenau (TX)HT TE-025997-0-023 11/21/00 Pierson (TX)HT TE-025997-0-025 11/21/00 Kelley (TX)HT TE-025997-0-008 12/1/00 Groves (TX)HT TE-025997-0-026 12/21/00 Johnson (TX)HT TE-025997-0-027 12/21/00 Niehus (TX)HT TE-025997-0-029 12/21/00 Walraven (TX)HT TE-033185-0 1/18/01 Gilfillan (TX)HT TE-033887-0 1/23/01 Holter (TX)HT TE-025997-0-030 1/29/01 Gillespie (TX)HT TE-025997-0-032 1/29/01 Vavricek (TX)HT TE-025997-0-028 1/29/01 Steins (TX)HT TE-025965-0-003 2/20/01 Stobaugh (TX)HT TE-025965-0-002 2/20/01 Miller (TX)HT TE-025997-0-033 2/20/01 Nira (TX)HT TE-025997-0-034 2/20/01 Gardner (TX)HT TE-025997-0-035 2/20/01 Walters (TX)HT TE-025997-0-036 2/20/01 Parker (TX)HT TE-025997-0-037 2/20/01 Sinclair (TX)HT TE-025997-0-031 2/20/01 Live Oak Homes (TX)HT TE-025997-0-016 2/26/01 Cornerstone (TX)HT TE-025997-0-042 2/26/01 McClure (TX)HT TE-025997-0-040 2/26/01 Havens (TX)HT TE-025997-0-038 3/1/01 Macafee (TX)HT TE-025997-0-039 3/9/01 Sultan & Kahn (TX)Karst TE-035525-0 3/9/01 Roush (TX)HT TE-025997-0-041 3/9/01 Young (TX)HT TE-025965-0-004 3/9/01 Advantage Builders (TX)HT TE-025997-0-045 3/23/01 Advantage Builders (TX)HT TE-025997-0-046 3/23/01 Bishop (TX)HT TE-025997-0-049 3/23/01 McClure (TX)HT TE-025997-0-048 3/23/01 Miller (TX)HT TE-025997-0-047 3/23/01 Colter (TX)HT TE-025997-0-044 3/23/01 Mendoza (TX)HT TE-025965-0-009 4/6/01 Casey (TX)HT TE-025997-0-050 4/6/01 Smith (TX)HT TE-025965-0-008 4/6/01 Slater (TX)HT TE-025965-0-007 4/6/01 Mosley (TX)HT TE-025965-0-006 4/6/01 Hansen (TX)HT TE-025965-0-010 4/6/01 CT-620 (TX)HT TE-036095-0 4/30/01 Skye/Eckhart (TX)HT TE-035908-0 4/30/01 Beeman (TX)HT TE-035919-0 4/30/01 Stobaugh (TX)HT TE-025965-0-011 5/10/01 Goode (TX)HT TE-025997-0-062 5/10/01 Phillips (TX)HT TE-025997-0-064 5/10/01 Shigo (TX)HT TE-025997-0-071 5/10/01 Haeffner/Rostetter (TX)HT TE-025997-0-063 5/10/01 Juarez (TX)HT TE-025965-0-016 5/10/01 Phillips (TX)HT TE-025965-0-014 5/10/01 Phillips (TX)HT TE-025965-0-015 5/10/01 DuCharme (TX)HT TE-025997-0-053 5/10/01 Phillips (TX)HT TE-025997-0-059 5/10/01 West (TX)HT TE-025997-0-056 5/10/01 Phillips (TX)HT TE-025997-0-060 5/10/01 Shen (TX)HT TE-025997-0-054 5/10/01 Phillips (TX)HT TE-025997-0-061 5/10/01 Hinkston (TX)HT TE-025997-0-057 5/10/01 Glenn (TX)HT TE-025997-0-055 5/10/01 Brigham (TX)HT TE-025997-0-075 6/15/01 Conrad (TX)HT TE-025997-0-073 6/15/01 Martinez (TX)HT TE-025997-0-080 6/15/01 Brady (TX)HT TE-025997-0-079 6/15/01 Ingram (TX)HT TE-025965-0-018 6/15/01 Alley (TX)HT TE-025965-0-017 6/15/01 Cornerstone (TX)HT TE-025997-0-076 6/15/01 Vasquez (TX)HT TE-037190-0 6/26/01 Bell (TX)HT TE-039440-0 6/28/01 Gray Mountain (TX)GCW TE-037888-0 6/28/01 Harding (TX)HT TE-036096-0 6/28/01 Wirries (TX)HT TE-037191-0 7/1/01 JRS Builders (TX)HT TE-025997-0-094 7/5/01 Kailing (TX)HT TE-025997-0-090 7/5/01 Ellington (TX)HT TE-025965-0-020 7/5/01 Wright (TX)HT TE-025965-0-019 7/5/01 JRS Builders (TX)HT TE-025997-0-093 7/5/01 City of Bastrop (TX)HT TE-025965-0-013 7/5/01 Greenwood (TX)HT TE-025997-0-096 7/27/01 Howard (TX)HT TE-025997-0-058 7/27/01 McClure (TX)HT TE-025997-0-098 7/27/01 McClure (TX)HT TE-025997-0-097 7/27/01 Bastrop Co WCID #2 (TX)HT TE-025965-1-023 8/1/01 Matl (TX)HT TE-025997-1-101 8/1/01 Holberg (TX)HT TE-025997-1-100 8/1/01 Capstone (TX)HT TE-025965-1-021 8/3/01 Capstone (TX)HT TE-025965-1-022 8/3/01 Steiwig (TX)HT TE-025997-1-099 8/3/01 Cornerstone (TX)HT TE-025997-1-104 8/23/01 Fuller (TX)HT TE-025997-1-105 8/23/01 Whited (TX)HT TE-025997-1-108 8/23/01 Samaro (TX)HT TE-025997-1-107 8/27/01 Myers (TX)HT TE-025997-1-109 8/27/01 Bowman (TX)HT TE-025997-1-081 8/27/01 Bowman (TX)HT TE-025997-1-082 8/27/01 Tyre (TX)HT TE-025997-1-106 8/27/01 Garcia (TX)HT TE-025997-1-113 9/10/01 Burnham (TX)HT TE-025997-1-111 9/10/01 Fernandez (TX)HT TE-025997-1-112 9/10/01 Serna (TX)HT TE-025997-1-114 9/18/01 Taylor (TX)HT TE-025965-1-024 9/18/01 2 Amendments Issued Bastrop County 4 Low Quality Habitat (TX)HT TE-025965-1-000 7/27/01 Bastrop County 42 Medium Quality Habitat (TX)HT TE-025997-1-000 7/27/01 Geoffrey L.
