Impact Mitigation Measure(s) Residual Impact <br />animal(s) is not harmed by construction of the project. Relocation shall occur on <br />the same day as capture. CNDDB Field Survey Forms shall be submitted to the <br />CFDW for all special status animal species observed. <br /> Pre-construction clearance surveys shall be conducted within 14 days of the start <br />of construction (including staging and mobilization). The surveys shall cover the <br />entire disturbance footprint plus a minimum 200-foot buffer, if feasible, and shall <br />identify all special status animal species that may occur on-site. All non-listed <br />special status species shall be relocated from the site either through direct <br />capture or through passive exclusion (e.g., burrowing owl). A report of the pre- <br />construction survey shall be submitted to the City for their review and approval <br />prior to the start of construction. <br /> A City-approved biologist shall be present during all initial ground disturbing <br />activities, including vegetation removal to recover special status animal species <br />unearthed by construction activities. <br /> Upon completion of the project, a City-approved biologist shall prepare a Final <br />Compliance Report documenting all compliance activities implemented for the <br />project, including the pre-construction survey results. The report shall be <br />submitted to the City within 30 days of completion of the project. <br /> If special status bat species may be present and impacted by the project, a City- <br />approved biologist shall conduct, within 30 days of the start of construction, <br />presence/absence surveys for special status bats in consultation with the CDFW <br />where suitable roosting habitat is present. Surveys shall be conducted using <br />acoustic detectors and by searching tree cavities, crevices, and other areas where <br />bats may roost. If active roosts are located, exclusion devices such as netting shall <br />be installed to discourage bats from occupying the site. If a roost is determined <br />by a City-approved biologist to be used by a large number of bats (large <br />hibernaculum), bat boxes shall be installed near the project site. The number of <br />bat boxes installed will depend on the size of the hibernaculum and shall be <br />determined through consultations with the CDFW. If a maternity colony has <br />become established, all construction activities shall be postponed within a 500- <br />foot buffer around the maternity colony until it is determined by a City-approved <br />biologist that the young have dispersed. Once it has been determined that the <br />roost is clear of bats, the roost shall be removed immediately. <br />For projects that may result in removal of trees or vegetation that may contain a <br />nesting bird, if feasible, construction activities should occur generally between <br />September 16 to January 31 (thus outside of the nesting season). However, if <br />construction activities must occur during the nesting season (generally February 1 to <br />September 15), surveys for nesting birds covered by the California Fish and Game <br />Code and the Migratory Bird Treaty Act shall be conducted by a City-approved <br />biologist no more than 14 days prior to vegetation removal. The surveys shall include <br />74
