Draft Environmental Impact Report Page II-24 Forward Inc. Landfill Expansion • Completed cells will be stabilized by the planting and maintenance of drought- resistant grasses. This will inhibit wind and water erosion and maximize the fertility of the soil in order to facilitate revegetation. • Temporary plantings,.geofabric drapes, and erosion-preventing diversions of surface water will be constructed as appropriate on temporary slopes. • Regular operational and post-closure monitoring of erosion control structures and plantings will be done for a minimum of five years. No additional measures are required. H. BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES H.1. Filling of waters of Mitigation Measure H.1. Prior to site grading the project sponsor shall obtain permits Less than the U.S. and waters of the under Sections 401 and 404 of the Clean Water Act and Section 1602 of the California Significant State, Fish and Game Code. These permits,administered by the RWQCB,USACE, and CDFG, respectively, would identify specific mitigation measures to be imposed on the project as permit conditions. A Wetland Mitigation and Monitoring Plan shall be prepared and submitted for agency review to ensure a "no net loss" of wildlife value or acreage of wetlands or riparian habitat. At a minimum, the Plan shall include the creation of four (4) acres of new wetlands and nine (9) acres of riparian plantings associated with the realigned creek channel, as presented in the conceptual design (Questa Engineering Corporation 2007). The Project Sponsor shall ensure that all mitigation areas, along with an appropriate upland buffer,be placed in a permanent conservation easement, or similar deed restriction, and preserved in perpetuity. The Wetland Mitigation and Monitoring Plan shall include the following details: 1. the location(s)of mitigation areas, including the types and extent of each habitat type to be created; 2. mitigation for loss of existing wetlands shall be provided by the creation of 4 acres (3:1 mitigation ratio)of wetlands meeting the current federal definition,
