Sequoia Ecological Consulting, Inc. CalVTP Project-Specific Analysis and Addendum Augustin Bernal Community Park Fuel Reduction November 2025 4-27 • SPR BIO-6: Prevent Spread of Plant Pathogens o To contain the spread of P. ramorum, crews would minimize the movement of soil and leaf litter under and around infected trees, and boots, treads, and equipment such as saws, shovels, hoes, and other tools would be scrubbed free of soil and debris that come from infected sites o All reasonable methods to sanitize shoes and equipment would be used in areas with susceptible species, both before and after work in those areas; these methods would follow best practices, which would include disinfecting material with 10 percent bleach, Lysol, or 70 percent isopropyl alcohol after the surface has been scrubbed free of debris with bristle brushes, or other BMPs o Any material suspected of being infected would stay in the area, as close to the origin point as possible o Generally, removal of P. ramorum-infected or killed oak trees would only be necessary if the tree is considered hazardous in a park setting  When infected oaks are cut down and left on-site, the branches would be chipped and cut and split, if possible, to reduce fire hazard and facilitate decomposition; if chipping is not possible, material would be lopped and scattered downslope and away from host species to reduce fire hazard and further spread  When it is not feasible to leave debris on-site, infested material would be disposed of at an approved and permitted dump facility • SPR BIO-7: Survey for Special-Status Plants • SPR BIO-9: Prevent Spread of Invasive Plants, Noxious Weeds, and Invasive Wildlife o Treatment of invasive plants and noxious weeds would follow the guidelines provided by Cal-IPC and other current scientifically based methods o When working in areas with broom, starthistle, or other invasive plants, crews would ensure equipment is cleaned of all soil, mud, and debris before departing the site o Whenever possible, crews and equipment would remain on paved, rocked, and well- traveled trails and would avoid cross-country travel o Mud, soil, and organic debris would be removed from equipment, treads, and boots before moving between work sites, with removed soil being left at its original location • SPR GEO-1: Suspend Disturbance during Heavy Precipitation • SPR GEO-3: Stabilize Disturbed Soil Areas • SPR GEO-4: Erosion Monitoring • SPR GEO-5: Drain Stormwater via Water Breaks • SPR GEO-7: Minimize Erosion o Whenever feasible, heavy equipment would remain on a stable operating surface to prevent erosion  Heavy equipment would not occur on slopes of 50 percent or greater • SPR HAZ-5: Spill Prevention and Response Plan o Herbicide application would not occur within protective buffers for special-status plants to prevent drift and non-target application • SPR HAZ-6: Comply with Herbicide Application Regulations • SPR HYD-2: Avoid Construction of New Roads • SPR HYD-5: Protect Non-target Vegetation and Special-Status Species from Herbicides
