Background and Discussion:
This amendment addresses the bat population that live under the current Treaschwig Road bridge at Cypress Creek. The plans include bridge replacement, however the bats must be excluded before removing the current bridge.
Expected Impact:
This amendment will allow the bat population at the Cypress Creek bridge to be excluded. If the bat population is not addressed, then the bridge will not be able to be replaced, thereby interfering with the project goals.
Alternative Options:
If the bat population is not excluded, the bridge would not be able to be replaced, thereby interfering with project goals.
