MM BIO-2b also states: “A qualified <br />RPF, biologist, or biological technician will be required to monitor the effectiveness of the <br />no-disturbance buffer around the nest, den, burrow, or other occurrence during <br />treatment.” If any individual of this species is detected during pre-activity surveys or work, <br />the animal would be allowed to leave the area of its own volition. <br />MM BIO-2c: Compensate for Mortality, Injury, or Disturbance and Loss of Habitat <br />Function for Special-Status Wildlife if Applicable (All Treatment Activities) <br />If the provisions of MMs BIO-2a, BIO-2b, BIO-2d, BIO-2e, BIO-2f, or BIO-2g cannot be <br />implemented and the project proponent determines that additional mitigation is <br />necessary to reduce significant impacts, the project proponent would compensate for <br />such impacts to species or habitat by acquiring and/or protecting land that provides (or <br />would provide, in the case of restoration) habitat function for affected species that is at <br />least equivalent to the habitat function removed or degraded as a result of the treatment. <br />Compensation may include: <br />1. Preserving existing habitat outside of the treatment area in perpetuity; this <br />may entail purchasing mitigation credits and/or lands from a CDFW- or <br />USFWS-approved entity in sufficient quantity to offset the residual significant <br />impacts, generally at a ratio of 1:1 for habitat; and <br />2. Restoring or enhancing existing habitat within the treatment area or outside <br />of the treatment area (including decommissioning roads, adding perching <br />structures, removing existing perching structures, or removing existing <br />movement barriers or other existing features that are adversely affecting the <br />species). <br />Initial <br />Treatment: N <br />Treatment <br />Maintenance: <br />N <br />N/A N/A N/A
