The project consists of a plan to excavate <br /> 100 million tons of sand and gravel over a 60-year period on 688 acres. The project is located <br /> south of Tracy near the southeast corner of Koster and Blewett Roads, in San Joaquin County. <br /> The proposed project will result in the conversion of 688 acres of open-space agricultural <br /> lands to non-open space use and will have a significant negative impact by contributing to the <br /> cumulative loss of wildlife habitat. San Joaquin County is a participant in the San Joaquin <br /> Multi-Species Conservation Plan (SJMSCP) which addresses impacts to wildlife and their <br /> habitat. Under the terms of the Implementing Agreement for the SJMSCP,participating local <br /> governments have committed to ensure that any project which they approve within the SJMSCP <br /> area pays appropriate development fees or is required to include minimization or mitigation <br /> measures, as described in the SJMSCP, as conditions of project approval. Therefore, we <br /> recommend that you condition the proposed project so that it is consistent with the SJMSCP. <br /> Pursuant to Public Resources Code Sections 21092 and 21092.2, the DFG requests <br /> written notification of proposed actions and pending decisions regarding this project. Written <br /> notifications should be directed to this office. <br /> Thank you for the opportunity to review this project. If the DFG can be of further <br /> assistance, please contact Mr. Dan Gifford, Senior Wildlife Biologist,telephone (209) 369-8851 <br /> or Ms. Terry Roscoe, Habitat Conservation Supervisor,telephone (916) 358-2883. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> AAssi <br /> ,Ph.D. <br /> 76 gional Manager <br />
