Sequoia Ecological Consulting, Inc. CalVTP Project-Specific Analysis and Addendum Augustin Bernal Community Park Fuel Reduction November 2025 A-81 MITIGATION MEASURES APPLICABLE? (Y/N) TIMING IMPLEMENTING ENTITY VERIFYING/ MONITORING ENTITY If burrowing owl is detected during focused surveys or assumed present, a no-disturbance buffer would be established around the den or habitat assumed to be occupied, the size of which would be determined by the qualified RPF or biologist, and no treatment activities would occur within this buffer. MM BIO-2b also states: “A qualified RPF, biologist, or biological technician will be required to monitor the effectiveness of the no-disturbance buffer around the nest, den, burrow, or other occurrence during treatment.” If any individual of this species is detected during pre-activity surveys or work, the animal would be allowed to leave the area of its own volition. Special-Status Avian Species If it is infeasible to avoid vegetation treatment within nesting season, only manual treatment would be permitted, and a RPF or biological monitor would be available during treatment activities. If work occurs within the vicinity of an active nest, MM BIO-2b requires flagging areas for avoidance and establishing no-work buffers. MM BIO-2b also states: “A qualified RPF, biologist, or biological technician will be required to monitor the effectiveness of the no-disturbance buffer around the nest, den, burrow, or other occurrence during treatment.” A biological monitor would be present on-site during work within the vicinity of raptor, eagle, or special-status bird nests. No trees containing raptor nests would be removed. Additionally, trees containing golden eagle nests would not be removed pursuant to the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act. Special-Status Bats: Pallid bat and Townsend’s big-eared bat
