Sequoia Ecological Consulting, Inc. CalVTP Project-Specific Analysis and Addendum Augustin Bernal Community Park Fuel Reduction November 2025 A-95 MITIGATION MEASURES APPLICABLE? (Y/N) TIMING IMPLEMENTING ENTITY VERIFYING/ MONITORING ENTITY o The condition class and fire return interval departure of the vegetation alliances present would also be determined • Design treatments in sensitive natural communities and oak woodlands to restore the natural fire regime and return vegetation composition and structure to their natural condition to maintain or improve habitat function of the affected sensitive natural community o Treatments would be designed to replicate the fire regime attributes for the affected sensitive natural community or oak woodland type, including seasonality, fire return interval, fire size, spatial complexity, fireline intensity, severity, and fire type (as described in Van Wagtendonk et al. 2018 and Sawyer, Keeler-Wolf, and Evens 2009 or current version, including updated natural communities data online) o Treatments would not be implemented in sensitive natural communities that are within their natural fire return interval (i.e., time since last burn is less than the average time required for that vegetation type to recover from fire) or within Condition Class 1 • To the extent feasible, no fuel breaks would be created in sensitive natural communities with rarity ranks of S1 (critically imperiled) and S2 (imperiled) • To the extent feasible, fuel breaks would not remove more than 20 percent of the native vegetation relative cover from a stand of sensitive natural community vegetation in sensitive natural communities with a rarity rank of S3 (vulnerable) or in oak woodlands o In forest and woodland sensitive natural communities with a rarity rank of S3, and in oak woodlands, only shaded fuel breaks would be installed, and they would not be installed in more than 20 percent of the stand of sensitive natural community or oak woodland vegetation (i.e., if the sensitive natural community covers 100 acres, no more than 20 acres would be converted to create the fuel break) • Use prescribed burning as the primary treatment activity in sensitive natural communities that are fire-dependent (e.g., closed-cone forest and woodland alliances, chaparral alliances characterized by fire-stimulated, obligate seeders), to the extent feasible and appropriate based on the fire regime attributes (as
