Implementation Measure 73.4(e). Any proposed modifications to wetlands or waters of the U.S. should be prepared in compliance with applicable laws and regulations of the US Army Corps of Engineers and the DFG prior to approval of any Tentative Maps encompassing these features. Implementation Measure 7.3.4(f). Wetlands mitigation shall provide for creation of wetlands to replace those which would be lost.Mitigation shall occur within the Specific Plan III area adjacent to,and contiguous with,other preserved wetlands. Implementation Measure 7.3.4(8). Where preserved wetlands provide valuable habitat to wildlife, protective fencing, screening or buffers shall be provided where necessary to minimize disruption of habitat areas.The type of protection will vary depending on the type and function of the wetland,the adjoining land use and the terrain. Implementation Measure 7.3.4(h). As part of Specific Plan III that includes wetlands,a Wetlands Management Plan shall be adopted.The plan shall include setbacks for structures from wetlands. Implementation Measure 7.3.4(i). Active and passive recreational uses near wetlands shall be addressed by the MHCSD consistent with its Parks,Recreation and Leisure Plan. Implementation Measure 7.3.4(j). Buildings and structures shall be set back from the edge of wetlands a minimum of 50 feet. Implementation Measure 7.3.4(k). The applicant shall retain a qualified biologist or wetlands specialist to stake,using easily-observable flagging, the boundaries of all wetlands to be protected or restored. The applicant shall organize and convene pre-construction conferences between the contractor and the project biologist or wetlands specialist to ensure that grading contractors recognize the importance of wetland resources and avoid all flagged areas. Implementation Measure 73.5(a). Existing trees that are to be preserved within SPIII shall be preserved by following good horticultural practices to maintain existing drainage,ventilation, and solar conditions. Implementation Measure 7.3.5(b). The tree planting shall be consistent with the MHCSD Design Manual Streetscape for Grant Line Road. Implementation Measure 7.3.6(a). Detailed field surveys of any proposed off-site mitigation locations should be conducted by a qualified biologist to determine the presence of any special-status species, sensitive natural communities,or wetland resources. Surveys for special-status species should focus on individuals or populations,as well as the presence of critical habitat features that could be adversely affected by construction of various off-site improvements.If sensitive resources are encountered,proposed improvements should be modified. If necessary to provide compliance with the state and federal Endangered Species Acts,a habitat protection plan should be prepared by a qualified biologist in consultation with representatives of the FWS and DFG.These provisions could include appropriate setbacks and construction restrictions from a nest or den during the breeding season for the species of concern,or relocation of proposed structural improvements such as storage ponds or pipeline alignments. Implementation Measure 7.3.6(b). Offsite improvement projects shall comply with the requirements of the San Joaquin County Multi-Species Habitat Conservation and Open Space Plan(HCP). The applicant shall pay the applicable fee per acre to mitigate potential wildlife impacts. The applicant shall implement all applicable Incidental Take Avoidance Measures described in Section 5.2 of the HCP, including pre- construction surveys. If the HCP terminates,the applicant shall proceed with implementation of the Mountain House Habitat Management Program(HMP)contained within Master Plan Appendix 7-B.
