(Y/N) TIMING IMPLEMENTING ENTITY VERIFYING/ MONITORING ENTITY Compensatory mitigation may be satisfied through compliance with permit conditions, or other authorizations obtained by the project proponent (e.g., incidental take permit), if these requirements are equally or more effective than the mitigation identified above. MM BIO-2d: Implement Protective Measures for Valley Elderberry Longhorn Beetle (All Treatment Activities) If elderberry shrubs within the documented range of valley elderberry longhorn beetle are identified during review and surveys for SPR BIO-1, and valley elderberry longhorn beetle or likely occupied suitable elderberry habitat (e.g., within riparian, within historic riparian, containing exit holes) is confirmed to be present during protocol-level surveys following the protocol outlined in USFWS 2017 per SPR BIO-10, the following protective measures would be implemented to avoid and minimize impacts to valley elderberry longhorn beetle: • If elderberry shrubs are 165 feet or more from the treatment area and treatment activities would not encroach within this distance, direct or indirect impacts are not expected, and further mitigation is not required • If elderberry shrubs are located within 165 feet of the treatment area, the following measures would be implemented: o A minimum avoidance area of at least 20 feet from the dripline of each elderberry plant would be fenced or flagged and maintained to avoid direct impacts (e.g., damage to root system) that could damage or kill the plant, with the exception of the following activities: ▪ Manual trimming of elderberry shrubs would only occur between November and February and would avoid removal of any branches or stems that are greater than or equal to 1 inch in diameter to avoid and minimize adverse effects on valley elderberry longhorn beetle ▪ Manual or mechanical vegetation treatment within the drip line of any elderberry shrub would be limited to the season when adults are not active (August–February), would be limited to methods that do not cause ground disturbance, and would avoid damaging the elderberry Initial Treatment: N Treatment Maintenance: N N/A N/A N/A
