P� <br /> the canal between April and November. The golf course will be designed with ponds to be used <br /> as sediment basins which will eliminate any residue from potential fertilizer or pesticide use from <br /> being released in to the Bear Creek Irrigation Canal. <br /> What about endangered species? <br /> Following an extensive research and consultation with the National Diversity Data Bank, it was <br /> determined that there are no endangered animal species on the site. And while San Joaquin <br /> County has a history of sighting of the Swainson hawk, the Department of Fish and Game <br /> documents that the "preferred foraging habitat for the Swainson hawk includes alfalfa field, fallow <br /> fields, beet and tomato fields, and dry and irrigated pasture lands," -- none of these are found on <br /> the proposed site. I <br /> In addition,there are no records of rare and endangered vascular plants in the vicinity of the project <br /> I <br /> site. The past and present farming practices of the land and its surroundings make the existence i <br /> of sensitive plant species a mute question. <br /> Are any measures being taken to control increased traffic flow? <br /> Yes. It is anticipated that the number of trips generated by the Golf Club will be less than 950 per <br /> day. They, by air and traffic control standards, is considered to be less than significant. Yet, in <br /> order to be cautious, the proponent is considering the implementation of a left hand turn lane and <br /> deceleration lane to mitigate against any traffic hazards on Highway 88. The proponent would pay <br /> a traffic mitigation fee to cover the costs of this proposed widening of Highway 88. <br /> 1 <br />
