A qualified RPF or biologist with knowledge of the special- <br />status species’ habitat and life history would review the treatment design and applicable <br />impact minimization measures (potentially including others not listed above) to determine <br />if the anticipated residual effects of the treatment would be significant under CEQA <br />because implementation of the treatment would not maintain habitat function of the <br />special-status species’ habitat or because the loss of special-status individuals would <br />substantially reduce the number or restrict the range of a special-status species. If the <br />project proponent determines the impact on special-status bumble bees would be less <br />than significant, no further mitigation would be required. If the project proponent <br />determines that the loss of special-status bumble bees or degradation of occupied (or <br />assumed to be occupied) habitat would be significant under CEQA after applying feasible <br />treatment design alternatives and impact minimization measures, then MM BIO-2c would <br />be implemented. <br />The only exception to this mitigation approach is in cases where it is determined by a <br />qualified RPF or biologist that the special-status bumble bee species would benefit from <br />treatment in the occupied (or assumed to be occupied) habitat area even though some of <br />the non-listed special-status bumble bees may be killed, injured, or disturbed during <br />treatment activities. For a treatment to be considered beneficial to special-status bumble <br />bee species, the qualified RPF or biologist would demonstrate with substantial evidence <br />that habitat function is reasonably expected to improve with implementation of the <br />treatment (e.g., by citing scientific studies demonstrating that the species (or similar <br />species) has benefitted from increased sunlight due to canopy opening, eradication of <br />invasive species, or otherwise reduced competition for resources), and the substantial <br />evidence would be included in the PSA. If it is determined that treatment activities would <br />be beneficial to special-status bumble bees, no compensatory mitigation would be <br />required. <br />Project-Specific Measures
