The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has received an application from Overnight Solar, LLC for a permit that would allow the incidental take of the threatened desert tortoise during the development of a solar energy project in San Bernardino County, California. This permit is required under the Endangered Species Act since the project could impact the tortoises’ habitat. To offset potential impacts, the company plans to relocate the tortoises and support habitat preservation efforts. The public is invited to comment on the draft habitat conservation plan and environmental assessment by February 20, 2025.
