Active Nests Sample Clauses
Active Nests. If an active nest is found, active nests should be avoided, and a no disturbance or destruction buffer shall be determined and established by a Designated Biologist. The buffer shall be kept in place until after the breeding nesting season or the Designated Biologist confirms the young have fledged, are foraging independently, and the nest is no longer active for the season. The extent of these buffers shall be determined by the Designated Biologist and will depend on the species present, the level of noise or construction disturbance, line of sight between the nest and the disturbance, ambient levels of noise and other disturbances, and other topographical or artificial barriers.
Active Nests. If active nests are found, Permittee shall consult with CDFW and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) regarding appropriate action to comply with the Migratory Bird Treaty Act of 1918 and the FGC. If a lapse in project-related work of 15 days or longer occurs, another focused survey shall be conducted before project work is reinitiated. If active nests are found, Permittee shall consult with CDFW and the USFWS prior to resumption of project activities.
Active Nests. The Qualified Biologist shall observe any identified active nests prior to the start of any construction-related activities to establish a behavioral baseline of the adults and any nestlings. Once work commences, all active nests shall be continuously monitored by the Qualified Biologist to detect any signs of disturbance and behavioral changes as a result of Project activities. In addition to direct impacts, such as nest destruction, nesting birds might be affected by noise, vibration, odors and movement of workers or equipment. If signs of disturbance and behavioral changes are observed, the Qualified Biologist or Biological Monitor shall cease work causing that behavior change and shall contact the CDFW representative for guidance.
Active Nests. The contractor may work on the bridge if active nests are present, as long as the work does not impact or disturb the birds and nests. At a minimum, work shall not be performed within 10 feet of an active nest; however, the contractor is responsible for ensuring that their activities do not impact the nests, eggs, or young.
