MOUNTAIN HOUSE PROPOSED MACHADOTENTATIVE MAP 4. ENVIRONMENTAL CHECKLIST '- 4.4 BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES Impact 4.10-7: Biological Resources—Conversion of Other Special-Status Nesting Bird Habitat and Possible Loss of Active Nests. [Development of Specific Plan III] would convert suitable foraging habitat and could result in loss of active nests of loggerhead shrike, California homed lark, and tri-colored blackbird. Loss of foraging habitat would be compensated through implementation of the MHMP. However,the MHMP does not identify policies or mitigation to avoid adverse effects to active nests of these species. A significant impact could occur. Impact 4.10-9: Biological Resources—Conversion of San Joaquin Kit Fox Habitat and Possible Occupied Den Destruction. The proposed project would convert low-quality habitat for San Joaquin kit fox. Kit fox could possibly den and forage at the [Specific Plan III] site, and implementation of College Park could result in destruction of occupied dens. A significant impact could occur. Impact 4.10-10: Biological Resources—Loss or Alteration of Jurisdictional Waters of the United States. [Development of Specific Plan III] could result in loss or alteration of jurisdictional waters of the United States. The MHMP includes measures designed to preserve and compensate for loss of such wetlands, but it does not specify measures to identify habitats under jurisdiction of United States Army Corps of Engineers or[California] Department of Fish and Game. A significant impact could occur. Impact 4.10-12: Possible Effects on Biological Resources from Implementation of Off-Site Infrastructure Improvements does not apply to the proposed Machado property project because the proposed project does not include any off-site infrastructure improvements. MITIGATION MEASURES IDENTIFIED IN 2005 SPIIIEIR Mitigation Measure 4.10-2 requires Specific Plan III developers to pay impact fees,to the San _ Joaquin County Multi-Species Habitat Conservation and Open Space Plan (SJMSCP) and presents specific measures that should be taken if certain special-status plant species are encountered at the project site. Implementation of this mitigation measure would reduce the _ impact to special-status plant habitat to a less-than-significant level. Mitigation Measure 4.10-5 requires Specific Plan III developers to pay impact fees to the _ SJMSCP and presents specific actions that should be taken if burrowing owl habitat is found at or adjacent to the project site. Implementation of this mitigation measure would reduce the impact on burrowing owl habitat to a less-than-significant level. _ Mitigation Measure 4.10-6 requires Specific Plan III developers to pay impact fees to the SJMSCP and presents specific avoidance and minimization measures that should be taken if suitable raptor nesting habitats are present at or adjacent to the project site. Implementation of this mitigation measure would reduce the impact on raptor nesting sites to a less-than- significant level. Mitigation Measure 4.10-7 requires Specific Plan III developers to pay impact fees to the SJMSCP and presents specific measures that should be taken if habitats for the loggerhead 4-18
