PC: 9-6-90 <br /> QX-90-1 <br /> as an appendix of the Excavation Plan. <br /> e. No excavation or other activity shall occur within five <br /> feet of the dripline of the trees that will not be <br /> removed. The applicant shall install and maintain <br /> protective fencing to protect those areas within five <br /> feet of the drip line of these trees . Fence details <br /> shall be shown on the Excavation Plan. <br /> f . Prior to construction of the access road and bridge, a <br /> survey shall be conducted by a qualified wildlife <br /> biologist to identify any raptor nests in the riparian <br /> corridor within 100 feet of the area to be disturbed. <br /> If raptor nests are identified in this area, no <br /> construction shall be conducted during the nesting season <br /> for these birds . Any such raptor nest shall be shown on <br /> the Excavation Plan. <br /> g. To mitigate for the impact to riparian habitat along the <br /> route of the proposed access road and bridge, disturbed <br /> scrub, freshwater marsh north of the Mokelumne River, and <br /> grassland with scattered trees in the borrow area, the <br /> following mitigation shall be provided: <br /> On the north side of the Mokelumne River, a 100-foot <br /> buffer from the northern edge of the riparian corridor <br /> (as defined by the outer canopy edge of the Riparian <br /> Overstory) shall be developed to provide additional <br /> habitat and screen the riparian corridor from operations <br /> at the processing facility and future agricultural <br /> activity. This buffer shall extend the length of the <br /> area proposed for reclamation north of the river. This <br /> buffer shall include preservation of the freshwater marsh <br /> area. A Revegetation Plan utilizing native trees and <br /> shrubs shall be developed to provide effective screening <br /> from mining and agricultural activities and enhance <br /> wildlife habitat within the buffer zone. This plan <br /> should be prepared by a qualified biologist and submitted <br /> to the County for approval prior to initiation of <br /> excavation, and it shall be included in the Excavation <br /> Plan. The plan shall also include a schedule for <br /> installation and maintenance procedures . It shall be the <br /> responsibility of the applicant to maintain and protect <br /> such habitat and plants. At a minimum, the revegetation <br /> plan should replace lost trees within the riparian <br /> corridor by planting trees within the buffer as follows: <br /> -37- <br />
