Preserve and protect aquatic and wetland resources including creeks,streams, marshes, ponds, rivers,lakes and other seasonal wetlands to the extent feasible. If not feasible then mitigation measures should be required in coordination with the state and federal regulations to protect fish and wildlife resources.Additionally, San Joaquin County should require either on-or offsite permanent preservation of an equivalent amount of wetland habitat to ensure no net loss of resource value and/or function; 5. Preserve and protect wetlands and grasslands that provide habitat for rare and endangered species. If not feasible, mitigation of all adverse impacts on annual grasslands to comply with the state and federal regulations protecting foraging habitat for those species known to utilize this habitat; 6. Preserve and protect oak woodlands,heritage oaks, and/or significant stands of oak trees in the site that provide habitat for common native,and special-status wildlife species; 7. Preserve, protect,and avoid impacts to natural, undisturbed habitats that provide movement corridors for sensitive wildlife species. If corridors are adversely affected, damaged habitat should be replaced with habitat of equivalent value or enhanced to enable the continued movement of species; 8. Consider the potential impact on sensitive plants and wildlife for each project requiring discretionary approval. If site conditions are such that potential habitat for sensitive plant and/or wildlife species may be present,San Joaquin County should require habitat assessments, prepared by a qualified biologist,for sensitive plant and wildlife species. if the habitat assessment determines that suitable habitat for sensitive plant andfor wildlife species is present, then either(1)protocol-level surveys should be conducted(where survey protocol has been established by a resource agency),or, in the absence of established survey protocol,a focused survey should be conducted consistent with industry recognized best practices;or(2)suitable habitat and presence of the species should be assumed to occur within all potential habitat locations identified on the Project Area.Survey Reports should be prepared and submitted to San Joaquin County,CDFW,and/or the United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS)(depending on the species)for further consultation and development of avoidance and/or mitigation measures consistent with state and federal law; 9. Thoroughly analyze future Project's potential direct, indirect and cumulative impacts on biological resources.To ensure these impacts are fully analyzed, San Joaquin County should define the threshold of significance for each impact and describe the criteria used to determine whether the impacts are significant(CEQA Guidelines, § 15064, subd. (0). San Joaquin County should analyze potential direct impacts from lighting, noise, human activity,and wildlife-human interactions created by development activities especially those adjacent to natural areas,exotic and/or invasive species occurrences, and drainages, as well as analyze potential indirect impacts including resources in areas adjacent to the Project Area,such as nearby public lands,open space,adjacent natural habitats, riparian ecosystems,wildlife corridors,and any designated and/or proposed reserve or mitigation lands.Additionally, San Joaquin County should analyze
