In <br /> addition,a detected nest would require a <br /> 300-foot buffer area for the nest and the ; <br /> associated wetlands while the nest is <br /> occupied. The nest site should be <br /> monitored by a qualified biologist until the <br /> hatchlings have left the nest. These <br /> buffers shall be indicated by temporary <br /> fencing if construction has begun or will <br /> begin before nesting periods have ended <br /> (the period from egg laying to emergence <br /> of hatchlings is normally April to <br /> November).
