'.' <br />b. 64 Austin 2000 (F1.c) <br />Restoration of the riparian area shall Include revegetation with trees, shrubs, and grasses <br />native to the area. Plantings shall have a minimum 80% survival after the first year, and 100 <br />% survival thereafter; or shall have attained a 75% cover after three years and a 90% cover <br />after five years. Plantings shall be monitored each year and maintained as necessary until <br />success criteria have been met. In order to assure implementation, the Wetlands Mitigation <br />and Monitoring Plan shall be modified to include these criteria. <br />13. SAN JOAQUIN COUNTY COUNCIL OF GOERNMENTS (Staff Contact: Jerry Park, 209'468- <br />3913) <br />a. 71 Austin 2000 (F4.a) (updated) <br />Expansion of the landfill into the [Austin Road} Expansion Area shall be preceded by a <br />nesting survey for Swainson's hawks during the breeding season in order to document the <br />presence, location and number of Swainson's hawks nests near or within the Landfill. These <br />nests and other detected nests shall be monitored yearly to document the effect If any of the <br />landfill operations on the presence of breeding Swainson's hawks and on the success of <br />breeding Swainson's hawks. <br />b. 72 Austin 2000 (Fl.a) <br />According to the SJMSCP, the mitigation fee for conversion of agricultural lands to other uses <br />is $1,500 per acre. For the conversion of 213.9 acres of Agricultural Lands, the County shall <br />pay $320,850 to the SJMSCP Joint Powers Authority to fund acquisition of preserve lands for <br />covered species that could potentially be affected. <br />c. 73 Austin 2000 (F14.a) <br />Pre-construction surveys for greater western mastiff bat should be conducted prior to <br />remOving any trees from the project site. These pre-construction surveys may be required <br />and funded by the SJMSCP JPA and should be conducted by a biologist with experience <br />surveying for bats, and the sUNeys should not occur any more than 30 days prior to the . <br />proposed tree removal. If no special-status bats are identified during the pre-construction <br />survey(s), then no impaots to these bats would be expected to occur from construotion of the <br />proposed project. If, however, greater western mastiff bat is identified in any of the trees <br />proposed for removal, reproductive status should be determined. <br />d. 74 Austin 2000 (F14.b) <br />.(Greater western mastiff bat) Maternity sites should be avoided until bats finish rearing <br />young. Prior to the bats finishing rearing their young, bat roosts/maternal "bat houses" should <br />be placed within a protected area in the vicinity of the roosting/maternity sites if possible. As' <br />soon as young are flyIng and foraging, the maternity sites should be sealed. Similarly, once <br />bat houses are installed in protected areas, bats should be evicted from their roost sites <br />within the project construction zone (i.e., should be evicted from the trees to be removed). <br />Removal of roost sites should occur during dusk or evening after bats have left the sites <br />unless otherwise approved. These measures are consistent with the SJMSCP. <br />e. 75 Austin 2000 (F14.c) <br />(Greater western mastiff bat) Pre-construction surveys would prevent direct take of <br />individuals or maternity sites. No immediate replacement of roosting habitat has been <br />proposed. If a maternity roost or occupied roost is detected during pre-construction surveys, <br />the SJMSCP JPA shall provide adequate replacement for loss of occupied habitat should be <br />designed and implemented with input from CDFG, Implementation of these mitigation <br />measures would reduce impacts to levels considered less than Significant. <br />San Joaquin County <br />Community Development <br />UP-OO-7, ER-OO-2IFolWard, Inc. <br />Page 24
