Compensation for loss of agricultural lands will also mitigate the loss <br /> of foraging habitat for raptor species. SJCOG may also determine, <br /> based on an independent review by a qualified biologist,that the <br /> following measures will be implemented to reduce impacts on <br /> special-status raptors. <br /> Swainson's Hawk <br /> The City has the option of retaining known or potential Swainson's <br /> hawk nest trees(i.e.,trees that hawks are known to have nested in <br /> within the past 3 years or trees,such as large oaks,that the hawks <br /> prefer for nesting)or removing the nest trees.If the City elects to <br /> retain a nest tree,and to encourage tree retention,the following <br /> ry incidental take minimization measure will be implemented during <br /> 4�- construction activities: <br /> ► If a nest tree becomes occupied during construction activities, <br /> then all construction activities will remain a distance of two <br /> times the dripline of the tree,measured from the nest. <br /> ► If the City elects to remove a nest tree,then nest trees may be <br /> CD <br /> removed between September 1 and February 15,when the nests <br /> are unoccupied. <br /> p <br /> T Burrowing Owl <br /> The City will prevent ground squirrels from occupying the project <br /> 0 site early in the planning process by employing one of the following <br /> o practices: <br /> CD <br /> o R. New vegetation will be planted or existing vegetation will be <br /> W retained entirely covering the site at a height of approximately 36 <br /> inches above the ground.Vegetation will be retained until <br /> m <br /> construction begins. <br /> 0 v ► If burrowing owls are not known or suspected on a project site, <br /> m the City will disk or plow the entire project site to destroy any <br /> v ground squirrel burrows.At the same time burrows are <br /> destroyed,ground squirrels will be removed through one of <br /> Cn <br /> M approved methods described in Appendix A of the SJMSCP to <br /> v �u <br /> LTS=Less than Significant S=Significant PS=Potentially Significant SU=Significant and Unavoidable <br />
