rodenticide sl~all be used. Application methods for chemicals should minimize exposure of non-targeti species as recommended in the FEIR. Prior to application, the operator shall conduc~ a field consultation with the FWS and DFG regarding the feasibility of rodenticide application. The operator shall comply with FWS and DFG requirements for such application. 23. The operator !shall, to the extent feasible, locate stockpiles in previously disturbed areas. The operator Shall also attempt to minimize the area extent (footprint) of the stockpiles. 24. 25. To the extent possible, project-related vehicle traffic shall be restricted to established roads, constrUction areas, storage areas, and parking areas. To the extent possible, off- road vehicle ~raffic outside of designated project areas shall be restricted. Project-related vehicles shalll observe a 20 mph speed limit in all project areas. The operator ishall conduct an employee education program. The program shall include review of kit lox biology, habitat requirements, legislative protection, and measures taken to reduce impacts to the species during project construction and operation. 26. 27. The operator ishall submit a post-construction compliance report to FWS within 45 days of completioa of each major project component (e.g., stockpiles, water pipeline, storm- drain basin construction). Closed landfi!l areas may be provided as part of the replacement mitigation habitat for the San Joaquin git fox and various passerine species, if literature research or available data establishes that this is feasible and if approved by FWS and DFG. WETLANDS 28. The operator! shall implement a Wetlands Mitigation Plan based on the Conceptual Wetland Mitigation Plan (LSA, 1994), the mitigation measures identified in the FEIR, and a Plan that has been approved through permits by the COE, FWS, DFG, RWQCB and the County. At minimum, this shall include creation of 2.5 acres of seasonally inundated wetlands in four units in Section 17. The wetlands shall be designed as breeding habltat for the California tiger salamander and red-legged frog. Revegetation shall use only native vegetation of species found on site. The plan shall include performance and monitoring standards. 29. 30. 31. The operator shall monitor the replacement wetlands after they are created to assess whether they are meeting the performance standards in the approved Wetlands Mitigation Plan. Such monitoring shall be conducted for five years or until performance standards are met, whichever occurs first. If performance standards are not met during the first five years after replacement wetlands are Created, the operator shall continue monitoring for a period to be determined by the COE a~d the County. Maintenance land monitoring of the wetlands shall be the responsibility of the operator with the assistance of qualified consultants, until it can find a qualified agency or private 13-B Final Altamont Settlement - Exhibit B
