Participation in the SJMSCP affords the <br /> project proponent Incidental Take authorization for northern harrier and California horned lark <br /> • pursuant to CESA and CEQA. Nonetheless, as outlined in the SJMSCP62, the following <br /> • incidental take avoidance measures shall be followed: <br /> • • Prior to the initiation of ground clearing, grubbing, grading or excavation activities, a <br /> • scheduled to occur during the breeding season (i.e., February 1 -August 31), <br /> preconstruction survey shall be performed by a qualified biologist. <br /> • A setback of 500 feet from nesting areas shall be established and maintained during the <br /> nesting season for the period encompassing nest building and continuing until <br /> fledglings leave nests.
