Draft Supplemental Environmental Impact Report Page II-40 Forward Inc. Landfill 2018 Expansion Project Consistent with the measures outlined in the SJMSCP and CDFG 2012, the following impact minimization measures shall be followed- • Consistent with the protocols outlined by the CDFG (2012 Appendix D), a "Take Avoidance Survey' shall be performed by a qualified biologist (as defined in CDFG 2012, page 5)no less than 14 days prior to the initiation of ground disturbance. A final survey shall be conducted 24 hours prior to ground disturbance. • Ongoing rodent control measures at the landfill facility shall conform to the guidelines outlined in the SJMSCP (Appendix A) (see Impact H.10, below). • The Project Proponent may plant new vegetation or retain existing vegetation entirely covering the site at a height of approximately 36" above the ground. Vegetation should be retained until construction begins;tall vegetation will discourage colonization of the site by burrowing owl. • Alternatively, if burrowing owls are not known or suspected on a project site and the area is an unlikely occupation site for red-legged frog, San Joaquin kit fox or tiger salamander, the Project Proponent may disc or plow the entire project site to temporarily close ground squirrel burrows and render the construction site temporarily unusable by burrowing owls. • During the breeding season (February 1 through August 31), occupied burrows shall not be disturbed in accordance with the following restrictions (CDFG 2012): o Between 1 April and 15 August, minimum setbacks from occupied burrows shall be 200 m (656 ft) for low disturbance levels, and 500 m (1640 ft) for medium and high disturbance
