Document Description
This proposed project involves converting the existing 2-lane conventional highway into a 4-lane, divided, controlled-access expressway including placing an asphalt concrete overlay, flattening cut slopes, widening fill slopes, overpass intersections and widening paved shoulders to 5-ft inside and 10-ft outside.
The project will result in permanent impacts to 889.8 acres of Mohave ground squirrel and desert tortoise habitat. The project may result in incidental take of Mohave ground squirrel and desert tortoise, both of which are designated as 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.
