If in the end, the Fish and Game Commission chooses to not <br />list the Crotch’s bumble bee under CESA, then this would vacate the <br />need to implement the minimization and avoidance methods above. <br />MM BIO-1g: Mitigation Measure for San Francisco Dusky-Footed <br />Woodrats: <br />Avoidance and Minimization <br />A qualified Biologist shall conduct a pre construction survey for San <br />Francisco dusky footed woodrat nests no more than 30 days and no <br />less than 14 days prior to the onset of construction activities in or <br />within 50 feet of riparian habitat. This survey timing allows for the <br />scheduling of and deconstruction of any woodrat nests which need <br />relocating. The survey shall encompass all construction zones and <br />surrounding lands within 50 feet. If no woodrat nests are present, no <br />additional measures are required. <br />A report shall be prepared for submission to the City summarizing <br />the results of the survey which identifies any buffer zones and <br />outlines recommended next steps, including measures implemented <br />to prevent impacts to San Francisco dusky-footed woodrats <br />Nest deconstruction <br />Identified nests shall be avoided, where possible. If avoidance is not <br />possible, as determined by a qualified Biologist in coordination with <br />the applicant, the nest(s) will be manually deconstructed by a <br />qualified Biologist when helpless young are not present, typically <br />during the nonbreeding season (October through January). The nest <br />will be reconstructed in a nearby suitable area. <br />Construction-free buffers <br />If it is determined during the pre construction survey that young may <br />be present, a suitable buffer, delineated with flagging, depending on <br />the timing within the breeding season (ranging from 15–50 feet) will <br />be established around the nest by the qualified Biologist and <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 a <br />qualified Biologist <br />and field <br />verification and site <br />inspections. <br />Prior to issuance of <br />grading or <br />construction permits. <br />City of Pleasanton <br />Community <br />Development <br />Department Planning <br />Division <br />
