Administrative Draft Environmental Impact Report <br /> Gill Medical Center Project <br /> activities, vehicle operation, material and equipment storage, and other surface- <br /> disturbing activities within ESAs.All temporary fencing shall be removed upon completion <br /> of construction. <br /> Timing/Implementation: Prior to construction <br /> Monitoring/Enforcement: County of San Joaquin Planning/Development Services Division <br /> 4.6-1c: Sanford's Arrowhead. <br /> Prior to ground disturbance within the northern boundary proposed 100-foot buffer, the <br /> following actions shall be implemented to avoid potential impacts to Sanford's <br /> arrowhead. If no ground disturbance occurs within the buffer area, no mitigation is <br /> required. <br /> ■ Perform focused plant surveys according to USFWS, CDFW, and CNPS protocols. <br /> Surveys should be timed according to the blooming period for target species (May <br /> through October) and known reference populations, if available. <br /> ■ The USFWS generally considers plant survey results valid for approximately three <br /> years.Therefore, follow-up surveys may be necessary if Project implementation <br /> occurs after this three-year window. <br /> ■ If Sanford's arrowhead are found, Environmentally Sensitive Areas (ESAs) shall be <br /> established around the plants as necessary to clearly demarcate areas for avoidance <br /> consistent with Mitigation Measure 4.6-1b.Avoidance measures and the specific <br /> avoidance zone distance would be determined in coordination with appropriate <br /> resource agencies (CDFW and/or USFWS). <br /> ■ If Sanford's arrowhead are found and avoidance of the species is not possible, <br /> additional measures such as seed collection and/or translocation may be developed <br /> in consultation with the appropriate agencies. <br /> ■ If no Sanford's arrowhead are found, no further measures pertaining to special-status <br /> plants are necessary. <br /> Timing/Implementation: Prior to ground disturbance within the norther buffer area <br /> Monitoring/Enforcement.- County of San Joaquin Planning/Development Services Division <br /> 4.6-1 d: Western Pond Turtle. <br /> The following actions shall be implemented to avoid impacts to western pond turtle. <br /> ■ A western pond turtle preconstruction survey shall be conducted by a qualified <br /> biologist within 14 days prior to the initiation of ground disturbance (e.g., <br /> tree/vegetation removal, mass grading). The survey shall consist of the entire Project <br /> site, including accessible areas within 100 feet (where feasible). <br /> Biological Resources 4.6-35 October 2021 <br />
