4.0 MITIGATION MONITORING AND REPORTING PROGRAM 4.0-2 Final Environmental Impact Report – Lathrop Pilot Flying J TABLE 4.0-1: MITIGATION MONITORING AND REPORTING PROGRAM ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT MITIGATION MEASURE MONITORING RESPONSIBILITY TIMING VERIFICATION (DATE/INITIALS) BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES Impact 3.3-2: The proposed project has the potential to have direct or indirect effects on special-status reptile and amphibian species Mitigation Measure 3.3-1: Prior to commencement of any grading activities, the project proponent shall seek coverage under the SJMSCP to mitigate for habitat impacts to covered special status species. Coverage involves compensation for habitat impacts on covered species through payment of development fees for conversion of open space lands that may provide habitat for covered special status species. These fees are used to preserve and/or create habitat in preserves to be managed in perpetuity. In addition, coverage includes incidental take avoidance and minimization measures for species that could be affected as a result of the proposed project. There are a wide variety of incidental take avoidance and minimization measures contained in the SJMSCP that were developed in consultation with the USFWS, CDFW, and local agencies. The applicability of incidental takes avoidance and minimization measures are determined by SJCOG on a project basis. The process of obtaining coverage for a project includes incidental take authorization (permits) under the Endangered Species Act Section 10(a) and California Fish and Game Code Section 2081. The Section 10(a) permit also serves as a special-purpose permit for the incidental take of those species that are also protected under the MBTA. Coverage under the SJMSCP would fully mitigate all habitat impacts on covered special-status species. The SJMSCP includes the implementation of an ongoing Monitoring Plan to ensure success in mitigating the habitat impacts that are covered. The SJMSCP Monitoring Plan includes an Annual Report process, Biological Monitoring Plan, SJMSCP Compliance Monitoring Program, and the SJMSCP Adaptive Management Plan SJCOG.

No more than 15 days prior to the start of construction a bird survey shall be conducted by a qualified biologist to identify any active nests within the Project site or Offsite Infrastructure Corridor. If construction stops for a period of 15 days or more during the avian breeding season than an additional bird survey shall be conducted. The biologist will conduct a survey in the Project site or Offsite Infrastructure Corridor, for all special-status birds protected by the federal and state ESA, MBTA and CFGC, including but City of Lathrop Community Development Department and the California Department of Fish and Wildlife Prior to construction
