Mountain House Specific Plan III <br /> ........................................................................................................................................................................... <br /> f. As a condition for development for parcels with large trees(greater than 30 feet in height) <br /> pre-construction surveys for occupied raptor nests,by a qualified biologist, shall be required If <br /> occupied raptor nests are found which will be impacted by such development,no disturbance or other <br /> project-related activities that may cause nest abandonment or forced fledging shall occur within 200 <br /> feet of the occupied nest tree until fledglings are no longer dependent upon nest habitat,as determined <br /> by a qualified biologist. <br /> 7.3.4 Wetlands Management <br /> 7.3.4.1 Master Plan Summary <br /> Development is required to preserve to the degree practicable existing wetlands.When loss is <br /> unavoidable,it must be compensated through mitigation acceptable to responsible agencies. Buildings <br /> .� and structures must be set back from wetlands a minimum of 50 feet and protected by fencing or buffers; <br /> this setback distance should be increased where wetlands are of high value. Passive recreational uses may <br /> be permitted adjacent to wetlands,but active recreational uses shall not. Runoff water must be treated <br /> through application of appropriate Best Management Practices(BMPs)to ensure water quality,prior to <br /> entering the wetland areas.A Wetlands Management Plan is required for every Specific Plan area that <br /> r <br /> includes wetlands. The plan must include setbacks for structures from wetlands. <br /> ` 7.3.4.2 Specific Plan III Description <br /> The College Park project could result in loss or alteration of jurisdictional waters of the United States. <br /> The MID"includes measures designed to preserve and compensate for loss of such wetlands,but it does <br /> not specify measures to identify habitats under jurisdiction of USACE or DFG.Therefore, a significant <br /> impact would occur. <br /> 7.3.4.3 Implementation Measures <br /> a. Restoration of wetland or riparian habitats shall include, as may be appropriate, preferred habitat for <br /> the special-status species. <br /> b. Runoff water from developed or landscaped surfaces may be discharged into preserved wetlands,but <br /> shall be treated through application of appropriate Best Management Practices(BMPs)to ensure <br /> ` water quality,prior to entering the wetland areas.These practices will be monitored in accordance <br /> with state water quality control procedures. <br /> c. All preserved wetlands and their buffers shall be temporarily fenced during construction to minimize <br /> the potential for inadvertent impacts from construction activities. Following construction,permanent <br /> barriers and/or fencing shall be installed to preclude access and damage from wheeled vehicles such <br /> as motorcycles and ORVs. <br /> Draft 03/14/05 7-17 <br /> ........................................................................................................................................................................... <br />
