• • Draft Supplemental Environmental Impact Report Page IV.F-27 Forward Inc.Landfill 2015 Expansion Project • • Mitigation Measure F.1. Prior to site grading, the project sponsor shall conduct an updated • jurisdictional delineation. The updated jurisdictional delineation shall specifically address the creek, but also address any onsite storm control features (detention basins, dry ditches) that • could be jurisdictional. Prior to site grading, the project sponsor shall also obtain permits under • Sections 401 and 404 of the Clean Water Act and Section 1602 of the California Fish and Game • Code for all impacts to jurisdictional resources. These permits, administered by the RWQCB, • USACE, and CDFW, respectively, would specify the mitigation measures to be imposed on the project as permit conditions. A Wetland Mitigation and Monitoring Plan shall be prepared and • submitted for agency review to ensure a"no net loss" of wildlife value or acreage of wetlands • or riparian habitat. At a minimum, the Plan shall include the creation of the equivalent acreage • of wetlands and riparian habitat present (as determined by the updated jurisdictional delineation to be conducted), or as required by regulatory agencies. The Project Sponsor shall • ensure that all mitigation areas, along with an appropriate upland buffer,be placed in a • permanent conservation easement, or similar deed restriction, and preserved in perpetuity. The Wetland Mitigation and Monitoring Plan shall include the following details: • • The location(s) of mitigation areas, including the types and extent of each habitat type to be created. • • Mitigation for loss of existing wetlands shall at a minimum include the equivalent acreage • of wetlands and riparian habitat present(as determined by the updated jurisdictional • delineation to be conducted), or as required by regulatory agencies (expected 3:1 • replacement ratio). Riparian habitat mitigation may occur through off-site mitigation to • address Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) concerns regarding increasing the risk of increased bird use and associated aviation risks. • All graded or filled areas within the habitat restoration area shall be seeded with • appropriate mixes of native grass and forb species, developed by a qualified restoration • ecologist. • Restored wetlands and riparian habitat shall have an equal or higher habitat value; • A water budget shall be prepared analyzing water demand for each mitigation habitat type • and the ability of the watershed to support the target habitats. • • The stated goal of the mitigation effort shall be to establish self-sustaining native riparian • vegetation that shall not require long-term irrigation or maintenance. • The mitigation site shall include the establishment of a vegetated upland buffer no less than • 50 feet wide on both sides of the recreated channel, where practicable. • Provide grading details, analysis of site hydrology and its ability to support the proposed • riparian vegetation, location and quantities of all plant materials to be installed, native seed • mixes to be used on all bare ground surfaces, monitoring procedures and schedules, • identification of remedial measures, and performance criteria to be used by the agencies to • assess success or failure of the mitigation effort. • • Long-term monitoring of at least five years shall be funded by the Project Sponsor, subject to • approval by the regulatory agencies. • • Annual monitoring reports shall be submitted to each permitting agency. • • • •
