b. 64 Austin 2000(F9.c) Restoration of the riparian area shall Include revegetation with trees,shrubs, and grasses native to the area. Plantings shall have a minimum 80%survival after the first year, and 900 %survival thereafter, or shall have attained a 75%cover after three years and a 90%cover after five years. Plantings shall be monitored each year and maintained as necessary until success criteria have been met, in order to assure implementation, the Wetlands Mitigation and Monitoring Plan shall be modified to include these criteria. 13. SAN JOAQUIN COUNTY COUNCIL. OF GOERNMENTS (Staff Contact; Jerry Park, 209468- 3913) a. 71 Austin 2000(F4.a)(updated) Expansion of the landfill into the[Austin Road]Expansion Area shall be preceded by a nesting survey for Swainson's hawks during the breeding season in order to document the presence, location and number of Swainson's hawks nests near or within the Landfill. These nests and other detected nests shall be monitored yearly to document the effect if any of the landfill operations on the presence of breeding Swainson's hawks and on the success of breeding Swainson's hawks. b. 72 Austin 2000(F7.a) According to the SJMSCP,the mitigation fee for conversion of agricultural lands to other uses is$1,500 per acre. For the conversion of 213.9 acres of Agricultural Lands, the County shall pay$320,850 to the SJMSCP Joint Powers Authority to fund acquisition of preserve lands for covered species that could potentially be affected. c, 73 Austin 2000(F14.a) Pre-construction surveys for greater western mastiff bat should be conducted prior to removing any trees from the project site. These pre-construction surveys may be required and funded by the SJMSCP JPA and should be conducted by a biologist with experience surveying for bats, and the surveys should not occur any more than 30 days prior to the proposed tree removal. if no speolal-status bats are identified during the pre-construction survey(s),then no Impacts to these bats would be expected to occur from construction of the proposed project. If, however, greater western mastiff bat is identified in any of the trees proposed for removal, reproductive status should be determined d. 74 Austin 2000(F94.b) .(Greater western mastiff bat) Maternity sites should be avoided until bats finish rearing young. Prior to the bats finishing rearing their young,bat roosts/matemal'bat houses"should be placed within a protected area in the vicinity of the roosting(matemity sites if possible. As soon as young are flying and foraging, the maternity sites should be sealed. Similarly, once bat houses are installed in protected areas,bats should be evicted from their roost sites within the project construction zone(i.e., should be evicted from the trees to be removed). Removal ofroost sites should occur during dusk or evening after bats have left the sites unless otherwise approved. These measures are consistent with the SJMSCP. e. 75 Austin 2000(F94.c) (Greater western mastiff bat) Pre-constructlon surveys would prevent direct take of individuals or matemity sites. No immediate replacement of roosting habitat has been proposed. if a maternity roost or occupied roost is detected during pre-construction surveys, the SJMSCP JPA shall provide adequate replacement for loss of occupied habitat should be designed and implemented with input from CDFG. Implementation of these mitigation measures would reduce Impacts to levels considered less than significant. San Joaquin County UP-00-7, ER-00-21Forward, Inc. Community Development Page 24
