Draft Supplemental Environmental Impact Report Page II-41 Forward Inc. Landfill 2018 Expansion Project the project study area by a qualified biologist approved by the SJMSCP TAC. If the species is detected,within the study area,the project shall undertake Incidental Take Avoidance and Minimization Measures to protect the species as directed by the TAC. Avoidance and minimization measures may include the following, as specified by the TAC: 1) When nesting areas for pond turtles are identified on a project site, a buffer area of 300 feet shall be established between the nesting site(which may be immediately adjacent to wetlands or extend up to 400 feet away from wetland areas in uplands)and the wetland located near the nesting site. These buffers shall be indicated by temporary fencing if construction has begun or will begin before nesting periods end (the period from egg laying to emergence of hatchlings is normally April to November). The buffer zones shall be maintained until the nesting season has ended. Impact H.5. Impacts to Mitigation Measure H.5a.
