Common Raptors. If project construction begins during the nesting season (February 15— <br /> August 31), pre-construction surveys shall be conducted during the nesting season in <br /> suitable nesting habitat within 500 feet of areas of project activity. The survey shall be <br /> conducted within the 2 weeks before construction or tree removal begins. If any active nests <br /> are found, a setback of 200 feet from each nest shall be established and maintained during <br /> the nesting season for the period encompassing nest building and continuing until fledglings <br /> leave nests. This setback applies whenever construction or other ground-disturbing activities <br /> must begin during the nesting season in the presence of nests that are known to be <br /> occupied. Setbacks shall be marked by brightly colored temporary fencing. (MM 4.10-6). <br /> Timing: The applicant shall submit a biologist's report of pre-construction surveys to the San <br /> Joaquin County Community Development Department(CDD)prior to the issuance of grading <br /> permits for the project. <br /> 37. Conversion of Other Special Status Nesting Bird Habitat: During the SJMSCP application <br /> process, SJCOG will determine whether that specific project site supports suitable habitat for <br /> loggerhead shrike,California homed lark, or tricolored blackbird. If SJCOG-determines <br /> suitable habitat is present on or adjacent to a given project site,the following SJMSCP <br /> incidental take avoidance and minimization measures shall be implemented by the project <br /> applicants in consultation with a qualified biologist. <br /> Loggerhead Shrike. If project construction begins during the nesting season (April 1— <br /> August 31), pre-construction surveys shall be conducted during the nesting season in <br /> suitable nesting habitat within 100 feet of areas of project activity. The survey shall be <br /> conducted within the 2 weeks before construction or tree removal begins. A setback of 100 <br /> feet from loggerhead shrike nesting areas shall be established and maintained during the <br /> nesting season for the period encompassing nest building and continuing until fledglings <br /> leave nests. This setback applies whenever construction or other ground-disturbing activities <br /> must begin during the nesting season in the presence of nests that are known to be <br /> occupied. Setbacks shall be marked by brightly colored temporary fencing. <br /> California Horned Lark and Tricolored Blackbird. If project construction begins during the <br /> nesting season(April 1—August 31), pre-construction surveys shall be conducted during the <br /> nesting season in suitable nesting habitat within 500 feet of areas of project activity. A <br /> setback of 500 feet from California homed lark and tricolored blackbird nesting areas shall be <br /> established and maintained during the nesting season for the period encompassing nest <br /> building and continuing until fledglings leave nests. This setback applies whenever <br /> construction or other ground-disturbing activities must begin during the nesting season in the <br /> presence of nests that are known to be occupied. Setbacks shall be marked by brightly <br /> colored temporary fencing. (MM 4.10-7) <br /> Timing: The applicant shall submit a biologist's report of pre-construction surveys to the San <br /> Joaquin County Community Development Department(CDD)prior to the issuance of grading <br /> permits for the project <br /> 38. Conversion of San Joaquin Kit Fox Habitat: Because the entire College Park site is <br /> located within the SJMSCP's Central/Southwest Transition Zone, the following SJMSCP <br /> incidental take avoidance and minimization measures shall be implemented for all projects: <br /> Pre-construction surveys shall be conducted 2 weeks to 30 days before commencement of <br /> ground disturbance. Surveys shall be conducted by a qualified biologist. If the surveys <br /> identify potential dens(potential dens are defined as burrows at least 4 inches in diameter <br /> that open up within 2 feet), potential den entrances shall be dusted for 3 calendar days to <br /> register track of any San Joaquin kit fox present. If no San Joaquin kit fox activity is identified, <br /> potential dens may be destroyed. If San Joaquin kit fox activity is identified, then dens shall <br /> 10 <br />
