<br />Sequoia Ecological Consulting, Inc. <br />CalVTP Project-Specific Analysis and Addendum <br />Augustin Bernal Community Park Fuel Reduction <br />November 2025 <br />A-18 <br /> <br /> <br />STANDARD PROJECT REQUIREMENTS APPLICABLE? <br />(Y/N) TIMING IMPLEMENTING <br />ENTITY <br />VERIFYING/ <br />MONITORING <br />ENTITY <br />• Map and digitally record, using a Global Positioning System unit, the <br />limits of any potential sensitive habitat and sensitive natural community <br />identified in the treatment area <br />This SPR applies to all treatment activities and treatment types, including <br />treatment maintenance. <br />Project-Specific Measures <br />If any rare plant populations are found, location, quantity and description would <br />be reported to the CNDDB. Any in-field methods of identification that would <br />require handling would follow proper permitting and protocols. <br />Work in Alameda whipsnake scrub habitat will be restricted to hand tools only, <br />and vegetation removal will include dead, woody branches, and invasive plants. <br />The nature of shaded fuel break work will not change the habitat functions of <br />dispersal and foraging of species occurring within, including Alameda whipsnake. <br />In habitat suitable for Alameda whipsnake suitable winter retreats (e.g., within <br />native scrub habitat, rock outcrops within approximately 50 feet of scrub <br />habitat), as determined by a qualified RPF or biologist, prescribed burning would <br />not occur between approximately November 1 and March 31 (as determined by a <br />qualified biologist based on temperature and weather conditions) in order to <br />avoid potential disturbance of hibernating Alameda whipsnake. Prescribed <br />burning and pile burning would be restricted to when temperatures are conducive <br />to AWS movement, which is typically when soil surface temperatures reach 66°F <br />(19°C; Hammerson 1979). <br />SPR BIO-4: Design Treatment to Avoid Loss or Degradation of Riparian Habitat <br />Function <br />Project proponents, in consultation with a qualified RPF or biologist, would <br />design treatments in riparian habitats to retain or improve habitat functions by <br />implementing the following within riparian habitats: <br />• Retain at least 75 percent of the overstory and 50 percent of the <br />understory canopy of native riparian vegetation within the limits of <br />Initial <br />Treatment: N <br />Treatment <br />Maintenance: <br />N <br />N/A N/A N/A
