This would include <br />suitable fencing to control access, limited cattle grazing or other <br />procedures to manage grass height and forage production at levels <br />that benefit CRLF, removal of trash. <br />xx Define and provide for a financial mechanism such as a non- <br />wasting endowment or an assessment district that funds open <br />space management into perpetuity. <br />MM BIO-1c: East Alameda County Conservation Strategy-specific <br />Avoidance and Minimization Measures for Alameda Whipsnake: <br />xx No monofilament plastic shall be used for erosion control. <br />xx Barrier fencing may be used to exclude focal reptiles. Barrier <br />fencing shall be removed within 72 hours of completion of work. <br />xx Construction crews or on-site Biological Monitor shall inspect open <br />trenches in the morning and evening for trapped reptiles. <br />xx Ground disturbance in suitable habitat shall be minimized. <br />xx A United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) and California <br />Department of Fish and Wildlife- (CDFW-) approved Biological <br />Monitor shall be present for all ground-disturbing activities in <br />suitable habitat. <br />xx A qualified Biologist possessing a valid Endangered Species Act <br />Section 10(a)(1)(A) permit or Service approved under an active <br />biological opinion, and approved by the CDFW shall be contracted <br />to trap and to move reptiles to nearby suitable habitat if listed <br />reptiles are found inside fenced area. <br /> <br />Compensation <br />Clustering and siting of the project has also allowed for in perpetuity <br />preservation of 104.6 acres of open space of similar habitat quality to <br />the approximately 24 acres that would be impacted by the project. <br />This amount of open space would more than sufficiently compensate <br />for any loss of Alameda whipsnake upland habitat. <br />City of Pleasanton, <br />Community <br />Development <br />Department <br />Planning Division <br />for review and <br />approval; review of <br />documentation <br />prepared by <br />qualified or <br />agency-approved <br />Biologists, field <br />verification and site <br />inspections, and <br />review of open <br />space preservation <br />documentation. <br />Prior to issuance of <br />grading or <br />construction permits; <br />ongoing during <br />construction <br />City of Pleasanton <br />Development <br />Department, <br />Planning Division; <br />applicable regulatory <br />agency (ies) <br />
