Draft Supplemental Environmental Impact Report Page IV.F-36 <br /> Forward Inc. Landfill 2018 Expansion Project <br /> • A setback of 100 feet from loggerhead shrike nest sites shall be established and <br /> maintained during the nesting season(i.e., February 1 to August 15)for the period <br /> encompassing nest building and continuing until fledglings leave nests. This setback <br /> applies whenever construction or other ground-disturbing activities must begin during <br /> the nesting season in the presence of nests that are known to be occupied. Setbacks shall <br /> be marked by brightly colored temporary fencing. <br /> These Incidental Take Minimization Measures are consistent with the provisions of the MBTA. <br /> Northern Harrier and California Horned Lark <br /> Although foraging northern harrier has been observed in the project vicinity and there is a <br /> potential for foraging by California horned lark,nesting by these species on site is considered <br /> unlikely due to the limited extent of grassland habitat. 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 SJMSCP64, 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. This setback applies whenever construction or other ground- <br /> disturbing activities must begin during the nesting season in the presence of nests that <br /> are known to be occupied. Setbacks shall be marked by brightly colored temporary <br /> fencing. <br /> These Incidental Take Minimization Measures are consistent with the provisions of the MBTA. <br /> Tricolored Blackbird <br /> Suitable nesting habitat for this species does not occur on the project site,but it could nest in the <br /> riparian habitat associated with the North Branch of the South Fork of Littlejohn's creek. <br /> Participation in the SJMSCP affords the project proponent Incidental Take authorization for <br /> tricolored blackbird pursuant to CESA and CEQA. Nonetheless, as outlined in the SJMSCP65, <br /> the following 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.
