Setbacks shall be marked by brightly colored <br /> temporary fencing. <br /> • If a nest tree becomes occupied during construction activities, then all <br /> construction activities shall remain a distance of two times the dripline of the <br /> tree, measured from the nest. <br /> • These Incidental Take Minimization Measures are consistent with the <br /> provisions of the MBTA. <br /> Golden Eagle <br /> Although no suitable nesting sites for golden eagle are present onsite, potential <br /> nesting habitat occurs on adjacent properties. Participation in the SJMSCP affords <br /> the project proponent Incidental Take authorization for golden eagle pursuant to <br /> ESA, CESA and CEQA. As outlined in the SJMSCP'when a site inspection indicates <br /> the presence of a nesting golden eagle, the following measures shall be followed: <br /> • Prior to the initiation of ground clearing, grubbing, grading or excavation <br /> activities, a scheduled to occur during the nesting season (i.e.,normally <br /> approximately February 1 -June 30), preconstruction survey shall be <br /> performed by a qualified biologist. <br /> • If an occupied golden eagle nest is detected, a setback of 500 feet from the <br /> nesting area shall be established and maintained during the nesting season <br /> (i.e., normally approximately February 1 -June 30) for the period <br /> encompassing nest building and continuing until fledglings leave nests. <br /> • This setback applies whenever construction or other ground disturbing <br /> activities must begin during the nesting season in the presence of nests that <br /> are known to be occupied. <br /> • Setbacks shall be marked by brightly colored temporary fencing. <br />
