rnitial Study—LID Annexation with the exception of the placement of transmission pole lines that may be erected and used by raptors for nesting. Mitigation measures specific to construction activities, such as avoidance of identified sensitive species habitat and payment of the San Joaquin County Habitat Conservation Plan fee would be required of this Project, also,to ensure that specific activities for construction of electrical and telecommunication facilities are guided by the previously approved mitigation measures. The proposed Project would involve no other new or more intensive impacts in this issue area. The proposed Project as a result,would not require any additional or more effective mitigation measures to avoid significant environmental effects. For the provision of sewer and water services, biological resource impacts were analyzed in the Lathrop Water, Wastewater and Recycled Water Master Plan EIR (Master Plan EIR), River Islands EIR and for sewer and recycled water,the Phase I Expansion of Water Recycling Plant No. 1 EIR and LAFCO's LID Formation Initial Study/MND. All of these documents are incorporated by reference. Any impacts associated with these services would be mitigated by the mitigation measures identified in these previous documents and no additional analysis is necessary. Copies of the documents are available in the San Joaquin County Community Development Department Office. The proposed project does not involve substantial changes to the Project which will require major revisions of the prior environmental documents due to the involvement of new or substantially more severe environmental impacts because the LID formation and the LID's provision of services previously were evaluated in the prior environmental documents. Further, there are no substantial changes with respect to the circumstances in which the project will be undertaken that would involve new or more intensive impacts in this issue area. Finally, there is no new information of substantial importance, which was not known and could not have been known when the prior environmental documents were prepared, that indicates that the project would have new or more severe aesthetic impacts or that considerably different or feasible mitigation measures are available that the LID declines to implement. The proposed project would not require additional mitigation measures to avoid new significant environmental effects. For these reasons,no further analysis is required. 2.4.3 Biological Resources—Mitigation Measures Biological Resources 1: LID shall be required to maintain a 60 inch separation between conductors on transmission lines as recommended by industry standards that may be erected near lands used by raptors for foraging to discourage nesting on these facilities. Biological Resources 2: LID shall be required to follow all adopted measures under the SJMSCP and payment of mitigation fees for loss of habitat associated with the new electrical and telecommunication facilities. Biological Resources 3: LID shall avoid all historic tree species in accordance with the City of Lathrop Tree Ordinance or follow the ordinance procedures for removal of a tree if such a tree cannot be avoided. 2.4.4 Biological Resources—References City of Lathrop(Grunwald and Associates).Comprehensive General Plan &Environmental Impact Report.
