BUCKEYE RANCH EIR - AMENDED MITIGATION MONITORING PLAN - PAGE 7 (July 27, 1993) Mitigation Measure Monitoring Requirements Person/Agency Responsible Timing or Frequency of Monitoring summer-dry and moist-soil marsh system. Both habitats will provide excel lentcoverfor rodents,small birds and insects. This habitat type is a dramatic improvement on existing farmed land of the lake bottoms (sudan grass and other crops would exclude foraging during the summer months). Restoration of seasonal marsh habitat will create 30 acres of foraging habitat. 8) Increase nesting habitat on the property. Restore live oak forest Develop plans. Visual inspection. SJCCDD C habitat.Restoration of live oak woodland was begun in 1991 with the planting of approximately 3 acres of mixed oak species. In addition,the Resource Plan calls for increasing understorycover within the existing forest. Planting cottonwood trees in low swales will provide increased, future nesting opportunities. Appropriate elevations and sites will be located by trained restoration ecologists. 9) Restore riparian habitat along South Tracy Lake shoreline. The Develop plans. Visual inspection. SJCCDD C planned restoration of riparian habitat along South Tracy Lake will recreate historical forest conditions around the lake. The removal of cattle from the area will provide an ecological release for willows and other small trees along the shorelineof the Lake. Planting cottonwood and valley oaks will create a diverse band of riparian vegetation that will benefit a wide variety of species. The restoration of this habitat will create 30 acres (70% tree cover) that will benefit Swainson's hawk. 10) The planned restoration of patches of "greentree" (winter Develop plans. Visual inspection. SJCCDD C flooded) woodland habitat will again provide a mixture of understory and canopy trees that provides important nesting opportunities for Swainson's hawks. The restoration of this habitat will create 20 acres of nesting habitat for Swainson's hawk. 11) Limit public access onto the property. Prepare Conservation Easement.
