I EXECUTIVE SUMMARY <br /> TABLE 2-1 (Continued) <br /> SUMMARY OF IWACTS AND MITIGATION MEASURES <br /> LEVEL OF <br /> ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT MITIGATION MEASURES SIGNIFICANCE <br /> AFTER MITIGATION <br /> 1) avoiding the impact by not taking a certain action or parts of <br /> an action; <br /> 2) minimizing impacts by limiting the degree or magnitude of <br /> the action; <br /> 3) rectifying the impact by repairing,rehabilitating or restoring <br /> the affected environment; <br /> 4) reducing or eliminating the impact over time by preservation <br /> and maintenance operations during the life of the action;or <br /> 5) compensating for the impact by replacing or providing <br /> substitute resources or environments. <br /> 4.9.2b Prior to implementation of any Phase of mining under Haul <br /> Route Option 2,which would impact Hospital Creek,the <br /> applicant shall perform a site assessment for California red- <br /> legged frogs according to USFWS guidelines(USFWS, 1997), <br /> as updated. If warranted by the site assessment,protocol <br /> surveys for California red-legged frogs shall be conducted by a <br /> qualified biologist following USFWS(1997)guidelines,as <br /> updated. If Hospital Creek is occupied by California red-legged <br /> frogs,the applicant will consult with the USFWS(this <br /> consultation may occur between the Corps and the USFWS)to <br /> avoid,minimize and/or mitigate impacts to the species. <br /> Avoidance,minimization and mitigation measure may include <br /> but are not limited to: <br /> 1) Training mine personnel to recognize California red-legged <br /> frogs and their habitat; <br /> 2) Removal of California red-legged frogs(in any life stage) <br /> from the project area by a USFWS authorized biologist;and <br /> RMC Pacific Vemalis Quany Mining and Reclamation Project 2-26 ESA/203015 <br /> Administmliw DmR EIR Mulch 2004 <br />
