<br />Sequoia Ecological Consulting, Inc. <br />CalVTP Project-Specific Analysis and Addendum <br />Augustin Bernal Community Park Fuel Reduction <br />November 2025 <br />A-23 <br /> <br /> <br />STANDARD PROJECT REQUIREMENTS APPLICABLE? <br />(Y/N) TIMING IMPLEMENTING <br />ENTITY <br />VERIFYING/ <br />MONITORING <br />ENTITY <br />sensitive species, presence of sufficient seed plants and nurse <br />plants, light availability, and edge effects may inform the <br />determination of an appropriate spatial scale <br />• The treatment design would maintain a minimum percent cover of <br />mature native shrubs within the treatment area to maintain habitat <br />function; the appropriate percent cover would be identified by the <br />project proponent in the development of treatment design and be <br />specific to the vegetation alliances that are present in the identified <br />spatial scale used to evaluate type conversion <br />o Mature native shrubs that are retained would be distributed <br />contiguously or in patches within the stand <br />o If the stand consists of multiple age classes, patches <br />representing a range of middle to old age classes would be <br />retained to maintain and improve heterogeneity, to the extent <br />needed to avoid type conversion <br />These SPR requirements apply to all treatment activities and all treatment types, <br />including treatment maintenance. <br />Additional measures would be applied to ecological restoration treatment types: <br />• For ecological restoration treatment types, complete removal of the <br />mature shrub layer would not occur in native chaparral and coastal sage <br />scrub vegetation types <br />• Ecological restoration treatments would not be implemented in <br />vegetation types that are within their natural fire return interval (i.e., <br />time since last burn is less than the average time listed as the fire return <br />interval range in Table 3.6-1) unless the project proponent demonstrates <br />with substantial evidence that the habitat function of chaparral and <br />coastal sage scrub would be improved <br />• A minimum of 35 percent relative cover of existing shrubs and <br />associated native vegetation would be retained at existing densities in <br />patches distributed in a mosaic pattern within the treated area, or the <br />shrub canopy would be thinned by no more than 20 percent from
