Comparison Table- Page 7 (July 30, 1993) <br /> If Amended Mitigation Implemented <br /> Potentially Significant Impacts Final EIR Suggested Mitigation Measures Amended Mitigation Measures Will Impact Be Less Than Significant? <br /> in human/wildlife interactions is the predictability of <br /> human presence. When humans burst upon wildlife in <br /> isolated areas,they usually flee quickly. Many species, <br /> of wildlife can become accustomed to the presence of <br /> humans when their presence is regular and <br /> predictable. Thus wood ducks are easily frightened in <br /> isolated wetlands, but can become accustomed to <br /> humans in city parks. <br /> It is predicted that species of waterfowl will sort <br /> themselves out at Tracy Lakes. Flighty species and <br /> individuals will likely utilize the east end of South <br /> Tracy lake. Other species, especially over time, will <br /> become accustomed to humans at the west end of <br /> Tracy Lake and North Tracy Lake. <br /> Specific mitigation measures to reduce human impact <br /> on the lakes include: <br /> > Planting riparian trees along the fringes of the Yes <br /> lake, especially in the spaces between houses. <br /> This vegetation will provide screening to lessen <br /> the impact of human presence. This acreage is <br /> not included in the previous estimate of 50 acres <br /> of riparian habitat restoration. <br /> > The construction of a 50 - 100 ft. elevated bench <br /> at approximately two feet below the water surface. <br /> The growth of cattails and bulrush will provide <br /> screening, nesting, resting, foraging, and escape Yes <br /> cover. <br />
