DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE ER-90-8 PAGE FIVE � . A Habitat Mitigation Plan shall be developed and submitted to the County and the California Department of Fish and Game for approval prior to construction which provides for the development of wetland habitat to compensate for any of the freshwater marsh that would be affected by the access road construction. This mitigation shall involve expansion of the existing freshwater marsh and provide for no net loss of wetlands. The Plan shall be prepared by a qualified biologist, and include a scheduled for installation and maintenance procedures. It shall be the responsibility of the applicant to maintain and protect such habitat during the life of the project' s approval. 20. To reduce the potential for impact to water quality and to protect fisheries from bank erosion, bridge construction shall be conducted to minimize constriction of the channel and prevent a decrease in flood carrying capacity of the Mokelumne River. �. To mitigate for the impact to riparian habitat along the route of the proposed access road and bridge, disturbed scrub, freshwater marsh north of the Mokelumne River, and grassland with scattered trees in the borrow area the following mitigation shall be provided: On the north side of the Mokelumne River, a 100-foot buffer from the northern edge of the riparian corridor (as defined by the outer canopy edge of the Riparian Overstory) shall be developed to provide additional habitat and screen the riparian corridor from operations at the processing facility and future agricultural activity. This buffer shall extent the length of the area proposed for reclamation north of the river. This buffer should include preservation of the freshwater marsh area. A Revegetation Plan utilizing native trees and shrubs shall be developed to provide effective screening from mining and agricultural activities, and enhance wildlife habitat within the buffer zone. This plan should be prepared by a qualified biologist and submitted to the County for approval prior to project construction. The plan shall also include a schedule for installation and maintenance procedures. It shall be the responsibility of the applicant to maintain and protect such habitat and plants during the life of the project's approval. At a minimum, the revegetation plan should replace lost trees within the riparian corridor by planting trees within the buffer as follows:
