If significant impacts to spacial-status plants are not fully avoidable, <br /> CDFW recommends the ND be revised to require compensatory mitigation for impacts <br /> to special-status plant species at a minimum of a 3:1 mitigation ratio (conserved habitat <br /> to impacted habitat)for permanent impacts. CDFW also recommends inclusion of <br /> language defining the Project's obligation to obtain CESA-listed plant take coverage <br /> through an Incidental Take Permit(ITP) issued by CDFW when take of caper-fruited <br /> tropidocarpum (Tropidocarpum capparideum) cannot be fully avoided. <br /> Comment 10: CDFW recommends additional mitigation measures for Project <br /> construction b¢ included in the ND <br /> CDFW also recommends the following avoidance and minimization measures to be <br /> included in the ND: <br /> "Oven Pioes Restriction. A//pipes, cu/vans, or Simi/ar structures that are stored at the <br /> construction site (either vartica//y or horizonta//y) for one or mora overnight periods wf// <br /> be secure/y capped on both ends prior to storage and thorough/y inspected for wi/d/ifa <br /> prior to imp/ementation by a Qua/ifiad Bio/ogist. <br /> Fence and Sion-Post Restriction. Any fencing posts or signs insta//ed, temporari/y or <br /> permanent/y, throughout the course of the Project she//ba designed to be wi/d/ife <br /> friend/y(e.g.,.smooth top and bottom wires, 6-inches above grade) and have fha top <br /> three post ho/es covered or fi//ed with screws or bo/ts to prevent snaring. <br /> ENVIRONMENTAL DATA <br /> CEQA requires that information developed in environmental impact reports and <br /> negative declarations be incorporated into a database which may be used to make <br /> subsequent or supplemental environmental determinations. [Pub. Resources Code, § <br /> 2'1003, subd. (e)j. Accordingly, please report any special-status species and natural <br /> communities detected during Project surveys to the California Natural Diversity <br /> Database (CNDDB). The CNNDB field survey form, online field survey form, and <br /> contact information for CNDDB staff can be found at the following IinK: <br /> httos://wild life.ca.cov/data/CNDDB/submitt'nc-data. The types of information reported to <br /> CNDDB can be found at the following link: https://wildlife.ca.cov/Data/CNDDB/Plants- <br /> and-Animals. <br />
