<br />INVASIVE SPARTINA PROJECT aSP) <br /> <br />recommendation refers to 22 treatment sites. . However, after the June authorization, one <br />of the 22 sites was split into 2 sites for ease of treatment management, thus resulting in 23 <br />sites currently.) <br /> <br />The Conservancy's June 16,2005 authorization included consideration and review of the <br />site specific plans for each ofthese treatment sites for activities through 2007. The site <br />specific plans identified potential environmental effects and the required mitigation <br />measures for each of the 23 projects. Based on this information, staff recommended and <br />the Conservancy found that the environmental effects associated with each of these <br />treatment projects and the required mitigation to reduce those effect to less than <br />significant level had been fully considered under the programmatic FEISIR for the ISP <br />Control Program and that no new mitigation measures were required. The 23 projects for <br />which additional funding is proposed under this authorization have not changed in nature, <br />extent, duration or scope. Since the projects, including potential environmental effects <br />and mitigation measures, remain unchanged, the proposed authorization remains <br />consistent with the CEQA finding adopted by the Conservancy in connection with the <br />June 16,2005 authorization. No further environmental documentation for treatment <br />activities is required. <br /> <br />Activities associated with operation and management of the Invasive Spartina Control <br />Program are designed to produce environmental permits, approval and documentation for <br />and coordinate implementation of the Invasive Spartina treatment activities. Therefore, <br />there are no environmental effects associated with operation and management activities, <br />beyond those considered and evaluated as part ofthe individual treatment projects. <br /> <br />11 <br /> <br />EXH!BIT 4 <br />
