If <br />nesting raptors or migratory birds are detected on the project site <br />during the survey, a suitable construction-free buffer will be <br />established around all active nests. Precise dimensions of the buffer <br />(up to 250 feet) would be determined at that time and may vary <br />depending on location and species. Buffers will remain in place for <br />the duration of breeding season or until it has been confirmed by a <br />qualified Biologist that all chicks have fledged and are independent of <br />their parents. Pre-construction surveys during nonbreeding season <br />are not necessary, as birds are expected to abandon their roosts <br />during construction activities. Implementation of the above <br />measures would mitigate impacts to tree-nesting raptors and other <br />migratory birds to a less than significant level. <br />Specific East Alameda County Conservation Strategy Avoidance and <br />Minimization Measures for the golden eagle <br />Although nesting habitat is marginal on the development site and its <br />proximity, in the unlikely event that an eagle did nest on the project <br />site, the following mitigation would ensure that the project does not <br />cause nest abandonment. Pre-construction surveys for other nesting <br />birds and raptors shall include a survey for nesting golden eagles to <br />determine their presence or absence within 250 feet of the <br />development footprint. <br />xx If an active nest is identified near a proposed work area, work shall <br />be conducted outside of the nesting season (February 1 to <br />September 1). <br />xx If an active nest is identified near a proposed work area and work <br />cannot be conducted outside of the nesting season, a no-activity <br />zone shall be established by a qualified Biologist. The no-activity <br />zone will be large enough to avoid nest abandonment and at a <br />minimum will be a 250-feet radius around the nest. <br />field verification <br />and site <br />inspections, and <br />review of open <br />space preservation <br />documentation.
