Docuslgn Envelope ID:6B7BA957-B564-41EB-9812-293BB9A89D89 <br /> PA-2600014 (C) <br /> March 24, 2026 <br /> Page 10 <br /> survey requirements for work starting in March) shall be conducted within 14 days of the <br /> commencement of Project activities again within 3 days of ground-disturbing Project <br /> activities. If breeding colonies are found, the foraging behavior of the colony shall also be <br /> documented. The surveys shall be based on survey methods identified in the Results of <br /> the 2017 Tricolored Blackbird Statewide Survey, Appendix 1 (Meese 2017). <br /> If active nests are found within the Project Area or within 500 feet of any Project-related <br /> Project activity, Project Proponent shall establish a 500-foot temporary no-disturbance <br /> buffer around the active nest until the young have fledged. The Qualified Biologist could <br /> modify the nest buffer with written approval from San Joaquin County in coordination with <br /> CDFW. <br /> Artificial Lighting - Night. Permittee shall minimize, to the extent feasible, permanent or <br /> temporary, fixed, exterior lighting, including motion-triggered security lighting that casts <br /> light on TRBL habitat beyond the Project Area between sunset and sunrise. Nighttime <br /> construction lighting shall be shielded and oriented downward to minimize effects on any <br /> nearby TRBL habitat. <br /> Pollinators <br /> The environmental document should include measures to increase use by pollinators such <br /> as dual use farming. The Project should be designed to optimize a balance between <br /> electrical generation and agricultural production (Jossi 2018) or native plants. Native <br /> plantings or dual use farming techniques provide additional foraging resources for <br /> pollinator species including but not limited to CBB, a CESA candidate species, and for <br /> other native species by increasing the amount of nectar resources on a local level. <br /> Incorporating locally native plantings or dual use farming techniques help to increase <br /> pollinator populations and would help to reduce project impacts to a less than significant <br /> level. <br /> CDFW recommends the Project be planted with deep-rooted native flowers and grasses <br /> that capture and filter storm water, build topsoil, and provide abundant and healthy food for <br /> bees and other insects that provide critical services to our food and agricultural systems as <br /> described on the Fresh Energy website at https.1/fresh-energy.or�g/beestovesolar/. <br /> ENVIRONMENTAL DATA <br /> CEQA requires that information developed in environmental impact reports and negative <br /> declarations be incorporated into a database which may be used to make subsequent or <br /> supplemental environmental determinations(Pub. Resources Code, §21003, subd. (e)). <br /> Accordingly, please report any special status species and natural communities detected <br /> during Project surveys to the California Natural Diversity Database (CNDDB). The CNNDB <br /> field survey form can be found at the following link: https://wildlife.ca.Dov/Data/CNDDBI <br /> Submitting-Data. The completed form can be mailed electronically to CNDDB at the <br /> following email address: CNDDBOWIdlife.ca.cloy. The types of information reported to <br />
