Draft Supplemental Environmental Impact Report Page II-32 Forward Inc. Landfill 2018 Expansion Project H. BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES4 H.1. Loss of wetland Identified in this EIR Less than habitat. Mitigation IV.H-1. Prior to site grading, the project sponsor shall obtain re- Significant verification of the jurisdictional delineation conducted for the project;this will ascertain the extent of jurisdictional waters and wetlands on the site,including the creek and potentially onsite storm control features (detention basins, dry ditches). The re-verified jurisdictional delineation will serve to confirm the acreage of wetlands to be impacted and for which mitigation will be provided. Prior to site grading, the project sponsor shall 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; all permit conditions shall be implemented. At a minimum, an equivalent acreage of wetland habitat to be impacted shall be established within the relocated segment of the South Branch of the South Fork of Littlejohn's Creek(1:1 in-kind replacement of wetlands impacted by the creek relocation), and if required by permit conditions, additional compensatory mitigation will be purchased from an USAGE,RWQCB and/or CDFW-approved wetland mitigation bank. These mitigation components are discussed further below. Onsite Replacement of Wetland Habitat 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. At a minimum, the Plan shall include the creation of the equivalent (in-kind)acreage of wetland habitat within the relocated segment of the South Branch of the South Fork of Littlejohn's Creek. The Concept Design Report(Questa 2017)indicates that approximately 1.87 acres of wetlands would be created in the longer,relocated creek 4 Note—In this SEIR's Biology Chapter,these impacts and mitigation measures are numbered"F._"for document organizational purposes.
