Ms . Loree Goold <br /> April 26, 1993 <br /> Page Two <br /> or endangered species may be construed as "take" by the DFG. <br /> Take of a threatened or endangered species may be allowed after <br /> consultation with DFG (Fish and Game Code 2081 ) . The process <br /> involves a management plan entered into by the project proponent <br /> and the DFG which requires formalized mitigation to reduce the <br /> significance of the impact . <br /> The proposed project will result in a loss of foraging <br /> habitat for the Swainson' s hawk. Due to the size of the proposed <br /> project and the potential for significant impacts to a listed <br /> species we recommend that an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) be <br /> prepared for the project . We recommend that the EIR discuss and <br /> provide mitigation for the following concerns : <br /> 1 . The project' s impact on fish and wildlife and their <br /> habitat . <br /> 2 . The project' s impact on State-listed or Federal- <br /> listed rare, threatened, or endangered species . <br /> Particularly the State-listed threatened Swainson' s <br /> hawk. A management agreement and take permit as per <br /> Fish and Game Code Section 2081 will be required for <br /> the take of Swainson' s hawk habitat . <br /> 3 . The project' s impact on unique habitat types such as <br /> wetlands, riparian habitat, oak groves, etc . <br /> 4 . The project' s growth inducing and cumulative impacts <br /> and their long term effect on fish and wildlife . <br /> Pursuant to Public Resources Code Sections 21092 and <br /> 21092 . 2, the DFG requests written notification of the proposed <br /> actions and pending decisions regarding this project. Written <br /> notification should be directed to this office . <br /> If we can be of further assistance, please contact Mr. Bob <br /> Mapes, Associate Wildlife Biologist, at (916 ) 355-7010, or Mr. <br /> Jerry Mensch, Environmental Services Supervisor, at <br /> ( 916 ) 355-7030 . <br /> n , <br /> i <br /> L. yan roddri <br /> R ional Manage <br /> cc : See attached list <br />
