a_prior to the initiation of gmund nearing,grubhing,grading or excavation activities,a scheduled to occur during the nesting season(i.e.,normally approximately February 1—June 30),a preconstruction survey shall be performed by a qualified biologist. b.If an occupied golden eagle nes[is detected,a setback of 500 feet from the nesting area shall be established and maintained dunng the nesting season(i.e., normally approximately February 1—Jur.e30)forthe penod encompassing nest building and continuing until fledglings leave nests.This setback applies whenever construction or other ground disturbing activities must begin during the nesting season in the presence of nests that are known to be occupied. Setbacks shall be marked by brightly colored temporary fencing. c.The qualified biologist shall sena as a biological monitor during those periods when construction activities occur near active nest areas to ensure that no Inadvertent impacts on these nests occur_The qualified biologist will have stvpwork authority in the event construction activities result in disturbance to an active nest. 3.White-tailed Kite.White-tailed Bite has been observed foraging in the project area and suitable nesting habitat is present in the immediate project vicinity. Participation in the SJMSCP affords the project proponent Incidental Take authorization for white-tailed kite in the farm of habitat conversion provided the following Incidental Take Minimization Measures,as outlined in the SJMSCP,are followed: a.Prior tothe initiation of tree removals/prunirng,ground clearne,grubbing, grading or excavation activities scheduled to occur during the nesting season (i.e.,normally approximately,February 15—.sepramher 15),a preconstruction survey shall be performed by a qualified biologist.Ifthere is a break in construction activities of more than 7 days during the nesting season a new pfeconstructien survey must be conducted. b.A setback of 200 feet from nesting areas shall be established and maintained during the nesting season for the period encompassing,nest building and continuing until tledglings leave nests. c.This setback applies whenever consimction or other ground-6stu rbtng activities must begin during the nesting season in the presence of nests that are known to be uccupied.Setbacks shall be niarked by brightly colored temporary fencing, d.The qualified biologist shall serve as a biological monitor during those periods when construction activities occur near active nest areas to ensure that no inadvertent impacts on these nests occur.The qualified biologist will have stop work authority in the event construction activities result in disturbance to an active nest. 4_Burrowing owl.Suitable habitat is present on and near the project sites and in the projectvlcinliy and the spectres could colonize the site in the future. Participation in the 5JMSCP affords the project proponent Incidental Take authorization for burrowing owl pursuant to CEGA;this provides both forthe taking of the species incidental to otherwise lawful activities as well as the conversion of Suitshta burrowing ewl habitat to non-suitable habitat.Consistent with the measures outlined in the SJMSCP and CDFG 2012,the following impact minimization measures shall be followed: a.A"Take Avoidance Survey"shall be performed by a qualified biologist(as dehned in CDFG 2912,Appendix D)no less than 14 days prior to the initiation of ground disturbance.A final survey shall be conducted 24 hours prior to ground disturbance.If there is a break in construction activities of more than 7 days duri.ng the nesting season a new preconstruction survey must be conducted
