Austin Road Landfill E on Project <br /> ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT MITIGATION MEASURE LEVEL OF <br /> SIGNIFICANCE <br /> AFTER <br /> MITIGATION <br /> (b) Maternity sites should be avoided until <br /> bats finish rearing young. Prior to the bats <br /> finishing rearing their young,bat <br /> roosts/maternal"bat houses" should be <br /> placed within a protected area in the <br /> vicinity of the roosting/matemity sites if <br /> possible. As soon as young are flying and <br /> foraging,the maternity sites should be <br /> sealed. Similarly,once bat houses are <br /> installed in protected areas,bats should be <br /> evicted from their roost sites within the <br /> project construction zone(i.e.,should be <br /> evicted from the trees to be removed). <br /> Removal of roost sites should occur during <br /> dusk or evening after bats have left the <br /> sites unless otherwise approved. These <br /> measures are consistent with the SJMSCP. <br /> (c) Pre-construction surveys would <br /> prevent direct take of individuals or <br /> maternity sites. No immediate <br /> replacement of roosting habitat has been <br /> proposed. If a maternity roost or occupied <br /> roost is detected during pre-construction <br /> surveys,the SJMSCP JPA shall provide <br /> adequate replacement for loss of occupied <br /> habitat should be designed and <br /> implemented with input from CDFG. <br /> Implementation of these mitigation <br /> measures would reduce impacts to levels <br /> considered less than significant. <br /> F.15.
