t MOUNTAIN HOUSE PROPOSEBALTAMONT HEIGHTS TENTATIVE MAP 4. ENVIRONMENTAL CHECKLIST 4.4 BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES does not identify policies or mitigation to avoid adverse effects to active nests of these species. A significant impact could occur. Impact 4.10.9: Biological Resources-Conversion of San Joaquin Kit Fox Habitat and Possible Occupied Den Destruction. The proposed project would convert low-quality " habitat for San Joaquin kit fox. Kit fox could possibly den and forage at the [Specific Plan III] sibi, and implementation of(Specific Plan III] could result in destruction of occupied dens. A significant impact could occur. I ,E Impact 4.10-10: Biological Resources=Loss or Alteration of Jurisdictional Waters of the United States, The MHMP includes measures designed to preserve and compensate for loss of such wetlands,but it does not specify measures to identify habitats under jurisdiction of United States Army Corps of Engineers or [California] Department of Fish and Game. A significant impact could occur. I t Impact 4.10-12: Possible Effects on Biological Resources from Implementation of Off-Site Infrastructure Improvements does not apply to the proposed Altamont Heights project because the proposed project does not include any off-site infrastructure improvements. MITIGATION MEASURES IDENTIFIED IN 2005 SPIIIEIR Mitigation Measure 4.10-2 requires Specific Plan III developers to pay impact fees to the San Joaquin County Multi.Species Habitat Conservation and Open Space Plan (SJMSCP) and resents specific measures that should be taken Pe rf certain-special-status plant species ' are encountered at the project site. Implementation of this mitigation measure would reduce the impact to special-status plant habitat to a less-than-significant level. ' Mitigation Measure 4.10-5 requires Specific Plan III developers to pay impact fees to the SJMSCP and presents specific actions that should be taken if burrowing owl habitat is found at or adjacent to the project site. Implementation of this mitigation measure would reduce the impact on burrowing owl habitat to a less-than-significant level. Mitigation Measure 4.10-6 requires Specific Plan III developers to pay impact fees to the SJMSCP and presents specific avoidance and minimization measures that should be taken if suitable raptor nesting habitats are present at or adjacent to the project site. Implementation of this mitigation measure would reduce the impact on raptor nesting sites to a less-than- significant level. Mitigation Measure 4.10-7 requires Specific Plan III developers to pay impact fees to the SJMSCP and presents specific measures that should be taken if habitats for the loggerhead shrike,California horned lark, or tri-colored blackbird are encountered at or adjacent to the project site. Implementation of this mitigation measure would reduce the impact to special- status nesting bird habitat to a less-than-significant level. M 4-18 i
