4.2 – Biological Resources Draft Environmental Impact Report February 2021 14800 W. Schulte Road Logistics Center 4.2-15 • Any open trenches, pits, or holes with a depth larger than 1 foot shall be covered at the conclusion of work each day with a hard, non -heat-conductive material (i.e., plywood). No netting, canvas, or material capable of trapping or ensnaring wildlife shall be used to cover open trenches. If use of a hard cover is not feasible, multiple wildlife escape ramps shall be installed, constructed of wood or installed as an earthen slope, in each open trench, hole, or pit that is capable of allowing large (i.e., deer) and small (i.e., snakes) animals to escape on their own. Prior to the initiation of construction each day and prior to the covering of the trench at the conclusion of work each day, on-site personnel shall inspect the open trench, pit, or hole for wildlife. If wildlife is discovered, it shall be allowed to leave on its own. 4.2.6 Level of Significance After Mitigation Threshold A: Would the Project have a substantial adverse effect, either directly or through habitat modifications, on any species identified as a candidate, sensitive, or special status species in local or regional plans, policies, or regulations, or by the California Department of Fish and Game or U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service? The Project could result in potentially significant impacts to species identified as a candidate, sensitive, or special- status species in local or regional plans, policies, or regulations, or by CDFW or USFWS, including burrowing owl and nesting migratory birds protected under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act. Incorporation of MM-BIO-1, MM-BIO-2, and MM-BIO-3 would be required to reduce impacts to a level of less than significant. Threshold B: Would the Project have a substantial adverse effect on any riparian habitat or other sensitive natural community identified in local or regional plans, policies, regulations or by the California Department of Fish and Game or U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service? The Project would have no impact on riparian habitat or other sensitive natural communities. Threshold C: Would the Project have a substantial adverse effect on state or federally protected wetlands (including, but not limited to, marsh, vernal pool, coastal, etc.) through direct removal, filling, hydrological interruption, or other means? The Project would result in less-than-significant impacts with regard to state or federally protected wetlands. Threshold D: Would the Project interfere substantially with the movement of any native resident or migratory fish or wildlife species or with established native resident or migratory wildlife corridors, or impede the use of native wildlife nursery sites? The Project would have a less-than-significant impact with regard to the movement of resident or migratory fish or wildlife species. Threshold E: Would the Project conflict with any local policies or ordinances protecting biological resources, such as a tree preservation policy or ordinance? The Project complies with and would not conflict with the goals and policies related to land use and natural resources. No impact would occur.
