(5) Haut trucks carrying airborne material shall be covered during transport and sprayed with water prior to dumping if it is shown that this would reduce dust emissions during off-loading activities within the landfill. (6) The landfill operator shall restrict truck and equipment travel over loose, uncompacted, unpaved surfaces. (7) Vehicle speeds on the project site shall be limited to 15 MPH. The main access road would be paved and maintained sufficiently to effectively eliminate entrainment of visible dust emissions from vehicle travel in accordance with SJVUAPCD Rule 8040 (control of fine particulate matter[PM-10] from landfill disposal sites) and Rule 8060 (control of fine particulate matter[PM-10] from paved and unpaved roads) (see Final SEIR G.1, Impact and Mitigation). 5. STATE DEPARTMENT OF FISH AND GAME (Staff Contact: Dan Gifford, 369-8851) a. SALMON: All excavation work within Little Johns Creek shall occur in the summer months (July 31 through September 30)when the Sacramento River winter chinook salmon, the Sacramento River fall/late-fall chinook salmon, the Central California steelhead, and the Sacramento spittail would not be migratinglspawning or otherwide occur in Little Johns Creek. b. WESTERN POND TURTLE: West pond turtle surveys in accordance with USFW guidelines shall be conducted prior to construction activities occurring in Little Johns Creek. if western pond turtles are identified, nesting habitat will be avoided while in use. c. WESTERN MASTIFF BAT: Greater western mastiff bat surveys shall be conducted prior to removing any trees. If bats are identified during surveys, their reproductive status shall be determined, and maternity sites will be avoided until the bats finish rearing their young. Prior to the bats finishing rearing their.young, bat roosts/maternal"bat houses" shall be placed within a protected area in the vicinity of the roosting/maternity sites, if possible. d. BURROWING OWL: Protocol burrowing owl surveys shall be conducted in all ruderal habitats i on the project site. If there are construction activities proposed during the owl breeding season, and if burrowing owls are observed at or within 250 feet of the project site during pre-construction surveys, a 250-foot-wide protective buffer shall be established around the owls. The buffer shall be protected by placement of a barrier(construction fence) that will remain in place for the duration of the breeding season. If the burrowing owl habitat would be affected by the project, and it would be necessary to relocate owls, a burrowing owl habitat mitigation plan shall also be prepared and submitted to CDFG for approval. This plan shall include.the provision of 1:1 acreage replacement for the loss of burrowing owl habitat. e. SWAINSON'S HAWK: A Swainson's hawk nest survey shall be conducted on the project site and within ane-half mile of the site. If an active nest is found on the project site, or within a one- half mile zone of influence, project related disturbance shall be prohibited during critical phases of the nesting cycle (March 1 —September 15, annually). Disturbance will be ascertained by a qualified raptor biologist and CDFG. The project applicant shall replace any affected Swainson's hawk foraging habitat within one mile of a nest site with one acre of suitable Habitat Management Land (1:314 impact to replacement ratio). Finally, impacts that occur to Swainson's hawk foraging habitat greater than five miles, but less than 10 miles, from an active Swainson's hawk nest shall be replaced with one-half acre of Habitat Management Land (1:112 impact to replacement ratio). In lieu of habitat replacement, the applicant may pay a fee to the San Joaquin County Council of Governments pursuant to the San Joaquin County Multi-Species Habitat Conservation and Open Space Plan.
