Geosyntecl�' consultants Table F1 EIR Mitigation Measures for Remediation Activities Resource Measure Topic Summary Mitigation Measure Biological MM-BIO-1: Obtain To avoid impacts on potentially present special status species,the proposed project will obtain coverage under the Resources Coverage under the SJMSCP. TC NO. CAL.Development will submit an application for coverage to SJCOG within 60 days of project SJMSCP or construction. SJCOG will review the proposed project,prepare a staff report,and submit the report to the SJMSCP Habitat Implement Technical Advisory Committee,which determines whether the proposed project will be covered under the SJMSCP. Protective Measures Assuming the proposed project is approved for coverage,a SJCOG biologist will conduct a site visit to determine which for Nesting Birds, incidental take minimization measures(ITMMs)included in the SJMSCP are applicable to the project. SJCOG will then Western Pond execute a final summary of applicable ITMMs for the project.ITMMs would include surveys,monitoring,and applying Turtle,Giant Garter temporary construction buffers,if determined appropriate by SJCOG. TC NO.CAL.Development will implement all Snake,and Valley required ITMMs identified by the SJCOG. Ground disturbance will not occur until the ITMMs have been satisfied. Elderberry If the proposed project is not able to obtain coverage under the SJMSCP,TC NO.CAL.Development will implement Longhorn Beetle. avoidance and minimization measures specific to nesting birds,western pond turtle,giant garter snake,and valley elderberry longhorn beetle as detailed below. For nesting birds,alternatives to SJMSCP coverage will include surveys and avoidance measures consistent with CDFW's standard requirements.If equipment staging,site preparation,or other project-related construction work is scheduled to occur between February 1 and September 15,the nesting season of protected raptors and other avian species,a CDFW- approved biologist will conduct a pre-construction survey of the project area for active nests within 7 days prior to commencing project construction.The minimum survey area will be 250 feet for passerines,500 feet for small raptors, and 1,000 feet for larger raptors. Surveys will be conducted during periods of peak activity(early morning or dusk)and be of sufficient duration to observe movement patterns.If a lapse in project-related work of 15 days or longer occurs,another survey will be performed before construction is re-initiated.If any active bird nests are found,a buffer around the nest will be established by the biologist in coordination with CDFW.The buffer area will be fenced off from work activities and avoided until the young have fledged,as determined by the biologist. The biologist will monitor the active nest until the young have fledged for at least 2 hours per day when project activities are occurring to observe the behavior of the nesting birds.If the birds show signs of disruption to nesting activities(e.g.,defensive flights/vocalizations directed toward project personnel,standing up from a brooding position,or flying away from the nest),the buffers will be expanded by the biologist until no further interruptions to nesting behavior are detectable.
