DFG shall also be consulted <br /> to determine if it is necessary to temporarily preserve foraging <br /> habitat(in addition to the buffer area)until the nest is no longer <br /> active. <br /> If feasible,250-foot buffer areas shall also be established <br /> around all other occupied burrows. If this is not feasible, DFG <br /> shall be consulted to determine whether smaller buffer areas <br /> and/or relocation of owls is necessary. Relocation may include <br /> passive techniques,such as use of one-way doors to <br /> encourage owls to move to alternative burrows outside the <br /> impact area,or capture and movement of owls to specific <br /> mitigation sites. <br /> Other Nesting Raptors <br /> If project construction begins during the raptor nesting season <br /> N (February 15 to August 31),pre-construction surveys shall be <br /> conducted by a qualified biologist in areas of suitable nesting <br /> habitat within 500 feet of project activity. Surveys shall be <br /> o conducted within 2 weeks before the beginning of construction <br /> or tree removal. If no active nests are found,no further <br /> mitigation shall be required. <br /> If active nests are found, impacts shall be avoided by <br /> e establishment of appropriate buffers. No project activity shall <br /> K commence within the buffer area until a qualified biologist <br /> confirms that the nest is no longer active. DFG guidelines <br /> recommend implementation of 500-foot buffers,but the size of <br /> o the buffer may be adjusted if a qualified biologist and DFG <br /> determine it would not be likely to adversely affect the nest. <br /> U, Monitoring of the nest by a qualified biologist may be required if <br /> the activity has potential adversely affect the nest. <br /> San Joaquin Kit Fox <br /> To minimize the potential for destruction of an occupied burrow <br /> a — and direct take of a kit fox,a pre-construction survey for active <br /> and potential kit fox dens shall be conducted by a qualified <br /> x biologist no more than 30 days and no less than 14 days before <br /> M <br />
