5.Mitigation Monitodng and Reporting Program TABLE 5-1 MITIGATION MONITORING AND REPORTING PROGRAM CEMEX VERNALIS QUARRY PROJECT Mitigation Measure Responsible Party Monitor Timing Sign Off III. If silage crops are grown on project land prior to being mined or when reclaimed,these crops shall be surveyed by a biologist prior to harvesting. If tricolored blackbirds are nesting in the silage,the entire field shall not be harvested until the colony is no longer active. 4.9.2c:Conditions in the Proposed Project area currently provide breeding habitat for Swainson's Applicant CDD and SJCOG Prior to each phase hawk and white-tailed kite.Site conditions will change over the 26-to 60-year life of the project, (CDD and CDFG for of mining that therefore,the following mitigation measures shall be Implemented prior to Implementation of any any phases not would begin Phase of mining.For any Phase where ground-disturbing activities would commence during the covered under excavation March raptor breeding season(March 15 through August 31),the applicant shall: SJMSCP) 15—August 31 (1) Comply with the SJMSCP.For Phases complying with the SJMSCP,no further mitigation is required.For phases not covered under the SJMSCP(at applicant's option or for potential habitat outside of the SJMSCP area),the following apply: (II) For Project Phases not complying with the SJMSCP,the applicant shall conduct pre- construction surveys for nesting raptors in suitable habitat within one-half mile(for Swainson's hawk)and 500 feet(for white-tailed kite)of the Phase boundaries.Surveys shall begin either at the beginning of the breeding season,or four weeks prior to beginning mining activities in the Phase,whichever is later. If nesting raptors are recorded within these buffers,the applicant shall not permit construction activities within these buffers except in consultation with CDFG. 4.9.2d:Conditions at the project site currently provide low suitability habitat for burrowing owls.Site Applicant CDD and SJCOG Prior to each phase conditions will change over the 26-to 60-year life of the project;therefore the following mitigation (CDD and USFWS (improvement plan measures shall be implemented prior to implementation of any Phase of mining: for any phases not approval or mining (1) Comply with the SJMSCP. For Phases complying with the SJMSCP,no further mitigation covered under activity,whichever is required.For phases not covered under the SJMSCP(at applicant's option or for potential SJMSP) occurs first) habitat outside of the SJMSCP area),the following apply: (ll) For Project Phases not covered under the SJMSCP,a habitat assessment for burrowing owls shall be conducted in the year prior to implementation of each Phase.Burrowing owl site assessments are generally only valid for one year.The site assessment for burrowing owls shall be conducted by a qualified biologist according to the CDFG Staff Report on Burrowing Owl Mitigation(CDFG, 1995),as updated.If warranted by the site assessment protocol(CDFG, 1995),as updated,pre-construction surveys for burrowing owls shall be conducted in suitable habitat within 500 feet of each Phase's boundaries.These surveys require two site visits,once In December to January,and once April 15 to July 15. (III) If occupied burrows are recorded within a 500-foot buffer from the Phase,the project shall avoid mining operations within a 160-foot buffer of active burrows from September 1 to January 31,and within a 250-foot buffer from February 1 to August 31.
