Sequoia Ecological Consulting,Inc. CaIVTP Project-Specific Analysis and Addendum C 18 Augustin Bernal Community Park Fuel Reduction November 2025 PD-3.4.3:Site Access Treatment areas would be accessed via existing fire roads and trails. No new roads or access points would be created.The Augustin Bernal Community Park parking lot would be used as the primary access point.Vehicles and equipment would be staged at the contractor's yard daily or on-site in the park, in coordination with the City. PD-3.4.4: Treatment Schedule and Duration Treatments except herbivory would occur primarily on weekdays during daylight hours only. Prescribed burning will also be limited to the months of November 1 to March 31 during the winter hibernation season for Alameda whipsnake, as described in Section 2.2.1 of the PSA. During prescribed burning, crews would need to conduct some maintenance burning on weekends to manage overall smoke impacts. Noise-generating treatments would comply with local regulations. PD-3.5: Pests, Diseases, and Invasive Species Without proper prevention, project treatments have potential to spread pathogens, diseases, pests, or invasive species.SOD, pitch canker(Fusarium circinatum),yellow starthistle(Centaurea solstitialis), French broom(Genista monspessulana), stinkwort (Dittrichia graveolens), and snake fungal disease (Ophidiomyces ophiodiicola) occur in the region and have potential to spread in the project area from one work area to another, or from the project area to off-site areas. The goal of reducing invasive plant species within the project area is in conformity with the overall project goals of fuels reduction and wildfire prevention. Invasive plants can be spread when crews and equipment travel between sites,transporting soil and mud contaminated with seeds. PD-3.5.1:Sudden Oak Death SOD infects coastal forests throughout California and Oregon and kills susceptible species, including valley oak (Quercus lobata), coast live oak (Q. agrifolia), California black oak (Q. kelloggii), canyon live oak (Q. chrysolepis), and Pacific madrone (Arbutus menziesii) saplings. Host species that are in the treatment area include California bay laurel (Umbellularia californica) and coast redwood (Sequoia sempervirens). To avoid the spread of this pathogen, all hand equipment and boots worn by treatment crews would be sanitized, and heavy equipment, hosed off, prior to operations in areas where the spread of SOD is possible.The California Oak Mortality Task Force offers additional information regarding treatment and disposal measures for plants infected with SOD, which would be monitored for changes in SOD treatment recommendations (California Oak Mortality Task Force 2023). PD-3.5.2: Pitch Canker The fungal disease commonly referred to as pitch canker affects many pine species and can infect Monterey pine (Pinus radiata). Most California native pines are susceptible to pitch canker, but Monterey pine is the most widely affected host.To avoid the spread of this pathogen,the same measures described above to prevent the spread of
