Mitigation Measure B-1 does not apply to Phase 1 since no burrowing owl burrows were found in the vicinity of that phase of the project. No more than two weeks before construction in potential burrowing owl habitat along the proposed Phase 2 route, a survey for burrowing owls and occupied burrows shall be conducted by a qualified biologist within 500 feet of the construction disturbance area. The survey will conform to the protocol described by the California Burrowing Owl Consortium (1997), including up to four surveys on different dates if there are suitable burrows present. ^ If occupied owl burrows are found within the survey area, a determination shall be made by a qualified biologist in consultation with CDFG whether or not construction will impact the occupied burrows or disrupt reproductive behavior. ^ If it is determined that construction will not impact occupied burrows or disrupt breeding behavior, construction will proceed without any restriction. or mitigation measures. ^ If it is determined that construction will physically impact occupied burrows or disrupt reproductive behavior during the nesting season (March through August), construction will be delayed within 250 feet of occupied burrows until it is determined that the owls are not nesting or until a qualified biologist determines that juvenile owls are self-sufficient or are no longer using the natal burrow as their primary source of shelter. ^ If it is determined that construction will impact occupied burrows during August through February, one-way doors will be used to passively relocate owls out of the Project area. Under current practice, prior to undertaking this procedure, there shall be at least two unoccupied burrows suitable for burrowing owls within 300 feet of the occupied burrow prior to installation of the one-way doors. The unoccupied burrows can be natural burrows or artificial burrows constructed according to currently accepted design. Artificial burrows shall be in place at least one-week before one-way doors are installed on occupied burrows. One-way doors will be in place for a minimum of 48 hours before burrows are excavated.
