Participation int e SJMSCP affords the project Less than Special-status Bird proponent Incidental Take authorization for these species,both for direct impacts Significant Species and loss of habitat.As specified in the SJMSCP, incidental take avoidance measures have been developed and must be implemented to conform to the SJMSCP;each species is discussed separately,below. All SJMSCP Covered Bird Species are subject to the MBTA. The SJMSCP is based on the more stringent, federal standard for"take"pursuant to the FESA,which includes modification of habitat. Incidental Take Permits for SJMSCP-covered bird species are included in the SJMSCP, to allow for the conversion of habitat with appropriate creation of compensatory habitat for these species(SJCOG 2000). However, to conform to the MBTA, the Incidental Take Minimization Measures of the SJMSCP may not result in a"take", as defined by the MBTA, of SJMSCP Covered Bird Species. The Incidental Take Minimization Measures in Section 5.2.4 of the SJMSCP have been designed to avoid such a "take". Swainson's Hawk Swainson's hawks have been observed in the project vicinity and potentially suitable nest sites are present adjacent to the project site. Participation in the SJMSCP affords the project proponent Incidental Take authorization for Swainson's hawk pursuant to ESA,CESA and CEQA. To conform to-the SJMSCP in regards to protecting potentially occurring nearby active nests,the following measures shall be followed: • Prior to the initiation of ground clearing, grubbing, grading or excavation activities, a scheduled to occur during the breeding season(February 16 through August 31), preconstruction survey shall be performed by a °SJMSCP Chapter 5.2.4.21 5 SJMSCP Chapter 5.2.4.19 6 SJMSCP Chapter 5.2.4.15 USEPA 2000,cited in SJMSCP(Appendix A) 8 SJMSCP Chapter 5.2.4.18 9 SJMSCP Chapter 5.2.4.17
