Impact Mitigation Measure(s) Residual Impact <br />and/or non-native plant species that are recognized on the Federal Noxious Weed <br />List, California Noxious Weeds List, and/or California Invasive Plant Council Lists 1, 2, <br />and 4. <br />Impact BIO-2. Implementation of the proposed Specific Plan would <br />not result in impacts to riparian habitat or other sensitive habitats. <br />This impact would be less than significant. <br />None required. Less than significant <br />without mitigation <br />Impact BIO-3. Implementation of the proposed Specific Plan may <br />result in impacts to federally protected wetlands. This impact would <br />be significant but mitigable. <br />MM BIO-2 Jurisdictional Delineation <br />If potentially jurisdictional wetlands are identified by the BRA, a City-approved <br />biologist shall complete a jurisdictional delineation. The jurisdictional delineation <br />shall determine the extent of the jurisdiction for CDFW, USACE, and/or RWQCB, and <br />shall be conducted in accordance with the requirement set forth by each agency. The <br />result shall be a preliminary jurisdictional delineation report that shall be submitted <br />to the implementing agency, USACE, RWQCB, and CDFW, as appropriate, for review <br />and approval. If jurisdictional areas are expected to be impacted, then the RWQCB <br />would require a Waste Discharge Requirements (WDRs) permit and/or Section 401 <br />Water Quality Certification (depending upon whether or not the feature falls under <br />federal jurisdiction). If CDFW asserts its jurisdictional authority, then a Streambed <br />Alteration Agreement pursuant to Section 1600 et seq. of the California Fish and <br />Game Code would also be required prior to construction within the areas of CDFW <br />jurisdiction. If the USACE asserts its authority, then a permit pursuant to Section 404 <br />of the Clean Water Act would likely be required. Furthermore, a compensatory <br />mitigation program shall be implemented in accordance with Mitigation Measure <br />BIO-1(D) and the measures set forth by the aforementioned regulatory agencies <br />during the permitting process. <br />Less than significant. <br />Impact BIO-4. Implementation of the proposed Specific Plan may <br />impact the movement of any native resident or migratory fish or <br />wildlife species or with established native resident or migratory <br />wildlife corridors. This impact would be significant but mitigable. <br />MM BIO-3 Native Amphibian Protection <br />If construction within Estudillo Canal is planned in wetted areas a pre-construction <br />survey shall be conducted for native amphibians. This survey shall be conducted by a <br />City-approved biologist and shall document the species and life stages of amphibians <br />found during the survey. If a significant number of non-listed species are found, they <br />will be relocated outside of the work area prior to the start of construction. Wildlife <br />exclusion fencing may be installed under the direction of the approved biologist to <br />prevent wildlife from entering the work area during construction. If listed species are <br />detected, measures BIO-1(f) and BIO-1(I) shall also be implemented. <br />Less than significant. <br />Impact BIO-5. Implementation of the proposed Specific Plan would <br />not conflict with local policies or ordinances protecting biological <br />resources, such as a tree preservation policy or ordinance. This <br />impact would be less than significant. <br />None required. Less than significant <br />without mitigation <br />76
