Sequoia Ecological Consulting, Inc. CalVTP Project-Specific Analysis and Addendum Augustin Bernal Community Park Fuel Reduction November 2025 4-46 implementation of the above-listed SPRs, areas of intact wildlife corridors would be retained. These impacts were found to be within the scope of the PEIR, and treatment activities proposed are consistent with those analyzed in the PEIR. • MM BIO-5: Retain Nursery Habitat and Implement Buffers to Avoid Nursery Sites Even following the above SPRs, wildlife nursery sites could still be significantly impacted if not avoided. Therefore, MM BIO-5 would be implemented. If wildlife nursery sites are identified during surveys conducted pursuant to SPR BIO-10, MM BIO-5 would apply. This MM requires that nursery habitat be marked for avoidance during treatment activities and a non-disturbance buffer be installed around the nursery site if activities are required to occur while the site is active or occupied. Impacts would be less than significant with mitigation, consistent with the PEIR. 4.5.1.6. Impact BIO-6 Initial vegetation treatment activities and treatment maintenance activities could result in direct or indirect adverse effects resulting in reduction of habitat or abundance of common wildlife, including nesting birds, because habitat suitable for these species is present throughout the treatment areas. The potential for adverse effects to special-status wildlife species is within the scope of the activities and impacts addressed in the PEIR because the treatment activities and intensity of disturbance resulting from implementing treatment activities are consistent with those analyzed in the PEIR. Impacts to special-status wildlife would be reduced to less than significant with the following SPRs and MMs (Attachment A). In addition to the CalVTP PEIR SPRs and MMs, additional Project-specific measures are described below each applicable measure: • SPR AD-2: Delineate Protected Resources for Avoidance • SPR AD-3: Consistency with Local Plans, Policies, and Ordinances • SPR AD-5: Maintain Site Cleanliness • SPR BIO-1: Review and Survey Project-Specific Biological Resources and Determine whether Avoidance Is Possible • SPR BIO-2: Require Biological Resource Training for Workers • SPR BIO-3: Survey Sensitive Natural Communities and Other Sensitive Habitats and Map Locations • SPR BIO-12: Protect Common Nesting Birds, Including Raptors o Institute the use of avoidance buffers, treatment modification, or treatment delay; monitor active raptor nests during treatment and retain raptor nest trees Regarding general common wildlife, implementation of SPR BIO-1, SPR BIO-2, and SPR BIO-3 would limit the loss and degradation of high-quality habitat for common species within the project site. SPR BIO-2 would require worker training in sensitive biological resources; SPR BIO-3 would ensure mapping of
