Common Raptors. If project construction begins during the nesting season (February 15— <br />August 31), pre -construction surveys shall be conducted during the nesting season in <br />suitable nesting habitat within 500 feet of areas of project activity. The survey shall be <br />conducted within the 2 weeks before construction or tree removal begins. If any active nests <br />are found, a setback of 200 feet from each nest shall be established and maintained during <br />the nesting season for the period encompassing nest building and continuing until fledglings <br />leave nests. This setback applies whenever construction or other ground -disturbing activities <br />must begin during the nesting season in the presence of nests that are known to be <br />occupied. Setbacks shall be marked by brightly colored temporary fencing. (MM 4.10-6). <br />Timing: The applicant shall submit a biologist's report of pre -construction surveys to the San <br />Joaquin County Community Development Department (CDD) prior to the issuance of grading <br />permits for the project. <br />37. Conversion of Other Special Status Nesting Bird Habitat: During the SJMSCP application <br />process, SJCOG will determine whether that specific project site supports suitable habitat for <br />loggerhead shrike, California horned lark, or tricolored blackbird. If SJCOG determines <br />suitable habitat is present on or adjacent to a given project site, the following SJMSCP <br />incidental take avoidance and minimization measures shall be implemented by the project <br />applicants in consultation with a qualified biologist. <br />Loggerhead Shrike. If project construction begins during the nesting season (April 1— <br />August 31), pre -construction surveys shall be conducted during the nesting season in <br />suitable nesting habitat within 100 feet of areas of project activity. The survey shall be <br />conducted within the 2 weeks before construction or tree removal begins. A setback of 100 <br />feet from loggerhead shrike nesting areas shall be established and maintained during the <br />nesting season for the period encompassing nest building and continuing until fledglings <br />leave nests. This setback applies whenever construction or other ground -disturbing activities <br />must begin during the nesting season in the presence of nests that are known to be <br />occupied. Setbacks shall be marked by brightly colored temporary fencing. <br />California Horned Lark and Tricolored Blackbird. If project construction begins during the <br />nesting season (April 1—August 31), pre -construction surveys shall be conducted during the <br />nesting season in suitable nesting habitat within 500 feet of areas of project activity. A <br />setback of 500 feet from California horned lark and tricolored blackbird nesting areas shall be <br />established and maintained during the nesting season for the period encompassing nest <br />building and continuing until fledglings leave nests. This setback applies whenever <br />construction or other ground -disturbing activities must begin during the nesting season in the <br />presence of nests that are known to be occupied. Setbacks shall be marked by brightly <br />colored temporary fencing. (MM 4.10-7) <br />Timing: The applicant shall submit a biologist's report of pre -construction surveys to the San <br />Joaquin County Community Development Department (CDD) prior to the issuance of grading <br />permits for the project. <br />38. Conversion of San Joaquin Kit Fox Habitat: Because the entire College Park site is <br />located within the SJMSCP's Central/Southwest Transition Zone, the following SJMSCP <br />incidental take avoidance and minimization measures shall be implemented for all projects: <br />Pre -construction surveys shall be conducted 2 weeks to 30 days before commencement of <br />ground disturbance. Surveys shall be conducted by a qualified biologist. If the surveys <br />identify potential dens (potential dens are defined as burrows at least 4 inches in diameter <br />that open up within 2 feet), potential den entrances shall be dusted for 3 calendar days to <br />register track of any San Joaquin kit fox present. If no San Joaquin kit fox activity is identified, <br />potential dens may be destroyed. If San Joaquin kit fox activity is identified, then dens shall <br />10 <br />
