Potentially Less Than Less Than Analyzed Significant Significant with Significant No In The 9 Mitigation 9 Impact Incorporated Impact Impact Prior EIR IV. BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES: Would the project: a) 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? b) 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 US Fish and Wildlife Service? c) 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? d) 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? e) Conflict with any local policies or ordinances protecting biological resources, such as a tree preservation policy or ❑ ❑ ❑ ® ❑ ordinance? f) Conflict with the provisions of an adopted Habitat Conservation Plan,Natural Community Conservation Plan, or other approved local, regional, or state habitat ❑ ❑ ❑ ® ❑ conservation plan? Impact Discussion: a-f) This project has two components.The first is a General Plan designation change from IIT(Truck Terminal)to A/G (General Agriculture).The second is a Conditional Use Permit Application for an agricultural processing facility(Use Type: Industry-Agricultural) to include the construction of a 96,959 square foot two-story building. The Natural Diversity Database lists the vernal pool tadpole shrimp (Lepidurus packardi) and the midvalley fairy shrimp (Branchinecta mesovallensis)as endangered,or threatened species located on or near the project area. Referrals have been sent to the San Joaquin Council of Governments(SJCOG)for review. SJCOG has determined that the applicant is subject to the San Joaquin Multi-Species Habitat Conservation and Open Space Plan(SJMSCP),and the applicant has confirmed participation. The applicant will be required to provide proof or participation prior to issuance of a grading permit. As a result, the proposed project is consistent with the SJMSCP, as amended, as reflected in the conditions of project approval for this proposal. Pursuant to the Final EIR/EIS for San Joaquin County Multi-Species Habitat Conservation and Open Space Plan (SJMSCP), dated November 15, 2000, and certified by SJCOG on December 7, 2000, implementation of the SJMSCP is expected to reduce impacts to biological resources resulting from the proposed project to a level of less-than-significant. a Planning Commission Staff Report, PA-2100295 (GP, SA) 11 Environmental Review
