At the discretion of the Qualified Biologist, all trees or structures within the Biological Study Area capable of providing roosting habitat for bat species shall be surveyed by the Qualified Biologist 7 days prior to commencement of Project activities. If a lapse of 7 days or more in Project activity occurs surveys shall be conducted again. Cavities, culverts and crevices in hardened structures and tree crevices, exfoliating bark and bark fissures that could provide suitable potential nest or roost habitat for bats shall be checked using roof- prism binoculars supplemented as needed with a flashlight or spotlight. When possible, these features shall be examined by looking directly inside them. If hardened structures or trees have suitable habitat or bats are found, CDFW shall be consulted prior to commencement of Project activities to determine if additional survey requirements are needed, seasonal avoidance measures must be implemented or bat exclusion methods are necessary. CDFW reserves the right provide additional provisions to this Agreement designed to protect nesting/roosting bats.
