If a Crotch’s bumble bee is <br />positively identified, general surveys shall stop and intensive surveys <br />will begin. <br />General Survey Timing <br />This survey shall be conducted the season prior to the start of work <br />(i.e., if work is expected to start in the late summer, surveys may <br />occur that same year; if work is expected to start in winter or early <br />spring, the surveys shall occur the year before). <br />Avoidance <br />Should a Crotch’s bumble bee be observed, intensive surveys to <br />locate underground nests shall be conducted. Appropriate weather <br />for intensive surveys is warm and sunny or sunny with some overcast <br />with temperatures between 60° Fahrenheit (degrees Fahrenheit) and <br />90°. Should an underground nest be located, individuals at the nest <br />shall be photographed to confirm species. If a confirmed <br />underground nest of Crotch’s bumble bee is observed, the nest shall <br />be flagged and a 25-foot buffer established around the nest. <br />Minimization <br />If a Crotch’s bumble bee or a Crotch’s bumble bee nest is observed, <br />an avoidance plan would be developed and reviewed by CDFW prior <br />to project work and/or vegetation removal or ground disturbance. <br />Compensation <br />If Crotch’s bumble bee exists on-site and if take avoidance is not <br />feasible, then a mitigation plan that provides for on- or off site <br />compensation shall be completed. The mitigation plan shall provide <br />for a minimum of a 1:1 replacement ratio of suitable habitat. It shall <br />define the location and whether this mitigation is on or off-site, <br />measures to restore and/or enhance existing habitat, management <br />strategies to maintain the conservation value of the habitat into <br />perpetuity, and a funding source for the ongoing management.
