Apnl 4,2012 Current Status: Forward has paid the required mitigation fee. c. 73 Austin 2000(F14.a) Pre-construction surveys for greater western mastiff bat should be conducted prior to removing any trees from the project site. These pre- construction surveys may be required and funded by the SJMSCP JPA and should be conducted by a biologist with experience surveying for bats, and the surveys should not occur any more than 30 days prior to the proposed tree removal. If no special-status bats are identified during the pre-construction survey(s), then no impacts to these bats would be expected to occur from construction of the proposed project. If, however, greater western mastiff bat is identified in any of the trees proposed for removal, reproductive status should be determined. Current Status: No trees have been removed from the project site. d. 74 Austin 2000(F14.b) (Greater western mastiff bat) Maternity sites should be avoided until bats finish rearing young. Prior to the bats finishing rearing their young, bat roosts/matemal "bat houses" should be placed within a protected area in the vicinity of the roosting/maternity sites if possible. As soon as young are flying and foraging, the maternity sites should be sealed. Similarly, once bat houses are installed in protected areas, bats should be evicted from their roost sites within the project construction zone (i.e., should be evicted from the trees to be removed). Removal of roost sites should occur during dusk or evening after bats have left the sites unless otherwise approved. These measures are consistent with the SJMSCP. Current Status: No trees have been removed from the project site. e. 75 Austin 2000(F14.c) (Greater western mastiff bat) Pre-construction surveys would prevent direct take of individuals or maternity sites. No immediate replacement of roosting habitat has been proposed. If a maternity roost or occupied roost is detected during pre-construction surveys, the SJMSCP JPA shall provide adequate replacement for loss of occupied habitat should be designed and implemented with input from CDFG. Implementation of these mitigation measures would reduce impacts to levels considered less than significant. Current Status: No trees have been removed from the project site. f. 76 Austin 2000(F15.a) Page 45
