EXHIBIT C - MITIGATION MONITORING PROGRAM <br />June 2023 C-7 SF Bay Fiber Optic Cables Project <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />1 Construction monitoring reports will be submitted daily during above-described <br />2 construction between the OHWM on the eastern and western locations within <br />3 CSLC’s jurisdiction and otherwise weekly outside of CSLC’s jurisdiction. <br /> <br />4 Location: Terrestrial and marine Project areas <br />5 Monitoring/Reporting Action: On-site biological monitor to verify. <br />6 The monitor will submit daily monitoring reports for work within the CSLC’s <br />7 jurisdiction and weekly reports for work outside the CSLC’s jurisdiction. <br />8 Effectiveness Criteria: Implementation of this MM will reduce the potential for <br />9 impacts on special-status species and habitats potentially present. <br />10 Responsible Party: Applicant and CSLC <br />11 Timing: Before and during construction <br /> <br />12 <br />13 <br /> <br />14 MM BIO-3: Delineate Work Limits to Protect Sensitive Biological Resources. <br />15 Natural areas outside the construction work area shall not be disturbed. Before <br />16 starting Project construction, sensitive biological resource areas within and <br />17 adjacent to the cable landing site work areas shall be staked and flagged by <br />18 the biological monitor (MM BIO-2). The location of the staking and flagging and <br />19 barrier fencing, if applicable, would be documented in the daily monitoring log <br />20 and provided to CSLC before starting construction. These demarcated areas <br />21 shall be inspected daily by construction personnel throughout the construction <br />22 area to make sure that they are visible for construction personnel. If construction <br />23 personnel note damage to the demarcated areas, they shall notify the <br />24 biological monitor, who will come to the site, if not present, and fix the barriers. <br /> <br />25 Location: Terrestrial Project areas <br />26 Monitoring/Reporting Action: On-site biological monitor to delineate and <br />27 document in the monitoring log <br />28 Effectiveness Criteria: Implementation of this MM will reduce the potential for <br />29 impacts on special-status species and habitats potentially present. <br />30 Responsible Party: Applicant and CSLC <br />31 Timing: Before and during construction <br /> <br />32 <br />33 <br /> <br />34 MM BIO-4: Install Covers or Escape Ramps in Open Trenches.
