City of Pleasanton—Hidden Canyon Residences and Preserve Biological Resources Draft EIR 3.3-46 FirstCarbon Solutions https://adecinnovations.sharepoint.com/sites/PublicationsSite/Shared Documents/Publications/Client (PN-JN)/2148/21480016/EIR/3 - Draft EIR/21480016 Sec03-03 Bio Resources.docx 4. Fences have been erected to protect trees to be preserved. Fences shall remain until all site work has been completed. Fences may not be relocated or removed without permission of the Project Superintendent. 5. Construction trailers, traffic, and storage areas shall remain outside fenced areas at all times. 6. No materials, equipment, spoil, waste, or wash-out water may be deposited, stored, or parked within the TPZ (fenced area). 7. Any additional tree pruning needed for clearance during construction shall be performed by a qualified Arborist and not by construction personnel. 8. Any roots damaged during grading or construction shall be exposed to sound tissue and cut cleanly with a saw. Tree Removal Permit: The City of Pleasanton requires a permit to remove Heritage Trees. Implementation of the above Mitigation Measures would reduce loss of trees to a less than significant level. Level of Significance After Mitigation Less than significant impact. Local, Regional, or State Habitat Conservation Plan Impact BIO-6: The proposed project would not conflict with the provisions of an adopted Habitat Conservation Plan, Natural Community Conservation Plan, or other approved local, regional, or State habitat conservation plan. Impact Analysis No local Habitat Conservation Plans (HCPs) or Natural Community Conservation Plans (NCCPs) are known to be in effect for this project. The EACCS is not considered an HCP or NCCP because its purpose and operational framework differ from that of an HCP or NCCP. The EACCS is a voluntary, non-regulatory strategy designed to provide a regional approach to conservation and mitigation efforts in East Alameda County. It aims to streamline the environmental permitting process and provide guidance for conservation efforts, but it does not carry the same regulatory authority as an HCP or NCCP (see MM BIO-5).Therefore, the proposed project would not be conflict with the provisions of an adopted HCP, NCCP, or other approved local, regional, or State HCP. Level of Significance Before Mitigation No Impact. 3.3.9 - Cumulative Impacts Special-status Species The geographic study area consists of a 1-mile radius around the project site, at which point undeveloped habitat meets urban development, limiting habitat opportunities for special-status
