i- <br /> MITIGATION MONITORING PROGRAM <br /> IMPACTS: <br /> i Plant and Animal Life: The project has the potential to impact the Swainson's hawk, <br /> which is a State listed threatened species. (See discussion in Environment Impacts <br /> number 3a & b above.) <br /> ' MITIGATION: <br /> The State Department of Fish & Game is recommending the following mitigation <br /> measures in order to reduce potential impacts to the Swainson's hawk to fess-than- <br /> significant. s <br /> 1. A no-development buffer shall be established along French Camp Slough to <br /> protect the existing riparian habitat. The buffer shall extend 100 feet beyond <br /> the bank of French Camp Slough. The Buffer shall extend beyond this <br /> recommended distance if necessary to protect any on-site riparian or wetland <br /> habitat. Additionally, the following restriction shall apply to the buffer area: <br /> a. No fill shall be placed within the buffer either during or after <br /> construction. <br /> b. Grading is prohibited within buffer. <br /> c. All vegetation within buffer is to be protected during construction. <br /> 2 If construction is going to occur during the period of March 1 through <br /> September 15, a survey of the site shall be conducted to disclose the <br /> presence of any active Swainson's hawk nest sites. If an active nest is <br /> located on or adjacent to the project site, the project applicant shall be <br /> required to avoid disturbance of the site based on measures contained in <br /> DFG's Staff Report regarding mitigation for Impacts to Swainson's Hawks in <br /> the Central Valley of California. <br /> IMPLEMENTATION: <br /> 1i The applicant shall show the 100 foot buffer and drip line of riparian habitat on the <br /> • Improvement Plan submitted to the Community Development Department prior to <br /> initiation of the use. The applicant shall also place the following notes on the <br /> -Improvement Plan: <br /> a. No fill shall be placed within the riparian habitat buffer either during or after <br /> construction. <br /> + b. Grading is prohibited within the riparian habitat buffer. <br /> c. All vegetation within riparian habitat buffer is to be protected during construction. <br /> f <br />
