In lieu of or in addition to surveys, the Project <br />proponent may choose to assume presence and rely on habitat as an indicator of <br />presence. Crew members and contractors would be trained to identify and avoid this <br />species if encountered, and a biologist would be available as needed to provide guidance <br />when crews are working within suitable bumble bee habitat. If identified, these burrows <br />would be protected with an avoidance buffer. <br />MM BIO-2h: Avoid Potential Disease Transmission Between Domestic Livestock and <br />Special-Status Ungulates (Prescribed Herbivory) <br />The project proponent would implement the following measure if treatment activities are <br />planned within the range of desert bighorn sheep, peninsular bighorn sheep, Sierra <br />Nevada bighorn sheep, or pronghorn: <br />• Prescribed herbivory activities would be prohibited within a 14-mile buffer <br />around suitable habitat for any species of bighorn sheep within the range of <br />these species consistent with the more stringent recommendations in the <br />bighorn sheep recovery plan (USFWS 2007) <br />• Prescribed herbivory activities would be avoided within the range of pronghorn <br />where feasible (where this range does not overlap with the range of any species <br />of bighorn sheep) <br />Initial <br />Treatment: N <br />Treatment <br />Maintenance: <br />N <br />N/A N/A N/A <br />MM BIO-3a: Design Treatments to Avoid Loss of Sensitive Natural Communities and Oak <br />Woodlands <br />The project proponent would implement the following measures when working in <br />treatment areas that contain sensitive natural communities identified during surveys <br />conducted pursuant to SPR BIO-3: <br />• Reference Appendix 2, Table A2 of California vegetation (Sawyer, Keeler-Wolf, and <br />Evens 2009 or current version, including updated natural communities data <br />online) or other best available information to determine the natural fire regime <br />of the specific sensitive natural community type (i.e., alliance) present <br />Initial <br />Treatment: Y <br />Treatment <br />Maintenance: <br />Y <br />Before <br />and <br />during <br />The City of <br />Pleasanton <br />The City of <br />Pleasanton
