TABLE S.1: SUMMARY OF IMPACTS AND MITIGATION MEASURES (Continued) <br /> Environmental Impact Mitiiation Measure Level of Significance After Mitigation <br /> F. Vegetation and Wildlife(Cont.) <br /> (c) Alternatively, the project applicant could <br /> participate in the proposed Swainson's hawk <br /> habitat conservation plan currently being <br /> considered by the City of Stockton/County of <br /> San Joaquin(Niblock, 1993). However, this <br /> alternative is contingent upon the preparation <br /> and adoption of the plan. <br /> F.4. Implementation of the proposed project may (a) Landfill expansion activities on the site should Less than Significant <br /> result in the loss of a Swainson's hawk breeding be monitored by a CDFG-approved raptor <br /> territory and disturbance of nesting Swainson's biologist(funded by the project sponsor)to <br /> hawks. (SIGNIFICANT) ensure avoidance of impacts to any nesting <br /> Swainson's hawks on the site. The monitor <br /> should be empowered to stop all activities in the <br /> vicinity of any identified nest locations,pending <br /> consultation with the CDFG,should any impacts <br /> to nesting individuals be anticipated. <br /> (b) Redesign proposed landfill expansion plans to <br /> preserve existing mature trees as specified in <br /> Mitigation Measure F.2(c). Enactment of this <br /> measure could preserve some of the values the <br /> site currently affords local bird species,including <br /> potential Swainson's hawk nesting use,and could <br /> eliminate the"lag time"between tree removal <br /> and the establishment of new plantings. <br /> S.17 <br />
