Sequoia Ecological Consulting, Inc. CalVTP Project-Specific Analysis and Addendum Augustin Bernal Community Park Fuel Reduction November 2025 A-96 MITIGATION MEASURES APPLICABLE? (Y/N) TIMING IMPLEMENTING ENTITY VERIFYING/ MONITORING ENTITY described in Van Wagtendonk et al. 2018 and Sawyer, Keeler-Wolf, and Evens 2009 or current version, including updated natural communities data online) • Time prescribed herbivory to occur when non-target vegetation is not susceptible to damage (e.g., non-target vegetation is dormant or has completed its reproductive cycle for the year) o For example, use herbivores to control invasive plants growing in sensitive habitats or sensitive natural communities when sensitive vegetation is dormant but invasive plants are growing o Timing of herbivory to avoid non-target vegetation would be determined by a qualified botanist, RPF, or biologist based on the specific vegetation alliance being treated, the life forms and life conditions of its characteristic plant species, and the sensitivity of the non-target vegetation to the effects of herbivory The feasibility of implementing the avoidance measures would be determined by the project proponent based on whether implementation of this MM would preclude completing the treatment project within the reasonable period of time necessary to meet CalVTP program objectives, including but not limited to protection of vulnerable communities. If the avoidance measures are determined by the project proponent to be infeasible, the project proponent would document the reasons implementation of the avoidance strategies are infeasible in the PSA. After completion of the PSA and prior to or during treatment implementation, if there is any change in the feasibility of avoidance strategies from those explained in the PSA, this would be documented in the post-project implementation report (referred to by CAL FIRE as a Completion Report).
