As discussed in the Section 5.4, Biological Resources, habitat <br /> for Swainson's hawk and other species of concern would be affected by new <br /> t development. However, mitigation measures have been recommended in the <br /> original 1994 Master EIR(MEIR)and are being implemented through the San <br /> Joaquin County Multi-Species Habitat Conservation and Open Space Plan <br /> inn i i 6-1 <br />
