Finding: <br /> Based upon the analysis in the EIR,appropriate scheduling of work in Little Johns Creek and <br /> compliance with recommendations of the National Marine Fisheries Service will make impacts <br /> on Central California steelhead less than significant. <br /> The following mitigation measure will mitigate these impacts to below a level of significance. <br /> Mitigation Measure (Impact F0): <br /> (a) To avoid impacting Central California steelhead in Little Johns Creek, all work <br /> proposed that would impact this creek should occur in the summer months when this <br /> salmon would not he migrating/spawning in this creek. If work must occur during the <br /> fall/winter months, the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS)should be contacted <br /> for other possible mitigation requirements. <br /> Facts in Support of the Finding: <br /> The potential for impacts on Central California steelhead is discussed in Section III.F of the EIR. <br /> The measures above are designed to mitigate impacts on Central California steelhead. <br /> k.Impacts on Sacramento Splittail <br /> Potential Significant.Impact(F.11): <br /> Implementation of the project could result in significant adverse impacts to Sacramento splittail. <br /> J <br /> Finding:. <br /> Based upon the analysis in the EIR,appropriate scheduling of work in Little Johns Creek, <br /> compliance with recommendations of the National Marine Fisheries Service(NMFS), and other <br /> measures such as turbidity studies will make impacts on Sacramento splittail less than significant. <br /> The following mitigation measure will mitigate these impacts to below a level of significance. <br /> Mitigation Measure (Impact F.11): <br /> (a) To avoid impacting Sacramento splittail populations potentiallypresent in Little <br /> Johns Creek, and to avoid impacts to other sensitive fish species potentially present in <br /> this creek, work in the creek should only be conducted between July 31 and September <br /> 30. If work must occur outside of these months,NMFS should be contacted. Further <br /> mitigation for non-summer work would be in accordance with recommendation provided <br /> by NMFS. Other mitigation could include conducting turbidity studies to determine if the <br /> work would be detrimental to Sacramento splittail. <br /> 32 - <br />
