Biological Resources Evaluation Report <br /> Griffith Energy Project <br /> No pre-construction surveys are required for California glossy snake or San Joaquin coachwhip. <br /> Minimization measures for these special-status reptiles would be included in the CEQA document and <br /> reviewed by regulating agencies. If special-status species are observed during any protocol or pre- <br /> construction surveys, avoidance buffers specific to that species would be implemented and a biological <br /> monitor may be required during ground-disturbance activities. Additional consultations with agencies may <br /> also be required, depending on which species is observed. <br /> Table 7 summarizes the additional surveys recommended for the SJMSCP and EACCS plan areas and the <br /> schedule for each. If there are differences between the two plans, the option that is recommended is <br /> highlighted in the table. <br /> Completing protocol surveys for CTS requires two consecutive years of surveys with sufficient rainfall <br /> (USFWS 2003). Therefore, coordination with the USFWS and San Joaquin County is recommended to <br /> assume presence of CTS mitigate for it. For BUOW, the SJMSCP only requires pre-construction surveys. <br /> Recommendations for the other species listed in Table 7 are similar regardless of whether the SJMSCP or <br /> EACCS applies. <br /> Tetra Tech, Inc 6-3 July 2023 <br />
