PROJECT IMPACTS. Existing fish or wildlife resources the Project could substantially adversely affect include: Birds: Canada goose (Branta canadensis), American wigeon (Mareca americana), mallard (Anas platyrhynchos), xxxxx duck (Oxyura jamaicensis), mourning dove (Xxxxxxx macroura), American coot (Fulica americana), ring-billed gull (Laurs delawarensis), Caspian tern (Hydroprogne caspia), double-crested cormorant (Phalacrocorax auritus), great blue heron (Ardea herodias), snowy egret (Egretta thula), black-crowned night heron (Nycticorax nycticorax), red-shouldered hawk (Buteo lineatus), Xxxxxxx’x woodpecker (Dryobates nuttallii), American crow (Corvus brachyrhynchos), tree swallow (Tachycineta bicolor), xxxxx xxxxxxx (Petrochelidon pyrrhonota), barn swallow (Hirundo rustica), bushtit (Psaltriparus minimus), great-tailed grackle (Quiscalus mexicanus), Xxxxxxxx’x warbler (Setophaga townsendi); Mammals: eastern fox squirrel (Sciurus niger), California ground squirrel (Otospermophilus beecheyi), desert cottontail (Sylvilagus audubonii), common raccoon (Procyon lotor), striped skunk (Mephitis mephitis); Plants: yerba mansa (Anemopsis californica), rattlesnake weed (Euphorbia albomarginata), ash (Fraxinus sp.), willow weed (Polygonum lapathifolium), California fan palm (Washingtonia filifera); Reptiles: southern alligator lizard (Elgaria multicarinata), western fence lizard (Sceloporus occidentalis); And all other riparian/wetland vegetation which provides habitat for these species and all other aquatic and wildlife resources in the Project vicinity. The adverse effects the Project could have on the fish or wildlife resources identified above include: loss of natural bed or bank; change in contour of bed, channel, or bank; soil compaction or other disturbance to soil layer; change in composition of bed materials (large woody debris or substrate particle size); change in sediment transport; short-term release of contaminants (e.g., incidental from construction); long-term release of contaminants (e.g., concrete); colonization by exotic plant or animal species; change to, loss, or decline of natural bed substrate; direct take of fish and other aquatic species; direct impacts from dredging on benthic organisms; construction pits and trenches that can capture terrestrial organisms; disruption to nesting birds and other wildlife; disturbance from Project activity; loss or impediment of terrestrial animal species travel routes due to temporary structures (e.g., survey tape, sandbags...
PROJECT IMPACTS. Existing fish or wildlife resources the project could substantially adversely affect include the California coastal gnatcatcher (Poliopitila californica californica) and all other aquatic and wildlife resources in the area, including the riparian vegetation which provides habitat for such species in the area. These resources are more specifically described in Exhibit A, Biological Constraints Survey for the Walnut Canyon Reservoir Landscape Maintenance Project, City of Anaheim, Orange County, California, October 28, 2014, Bonterra/Xxxxxx - See the Exhibit Section of this Agreement. The project as implemented will result in approximately 0.18 acres of permanent impacts to herbaceous riparian vegetation trimming and minor sediment removal for fire clearance and maintenance associated with the channel. Intermittent trimming and minor sediment removal may result in some temporary impacts to oak riparian habitat as a result of trimming and herbaceous vegetation during sediment removal. The Permittee shall notify CDFW if additional impacts beyond those expressly stated herein occur. CDFW must be notified and additional mitigation and/or measures to protect resources may be required. In addition, if annual maintenance results in type conversion of habitat from herbaceous riparian to a habitat of lower function and value, additional mitigation for permanent impacts may be required.
PROJECT IMPACTS. Existing fish or wildlife resources the project could substantially adversely affect within and downstream of the project area without implementation of the conditions contained within this Agreement include: Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha), coho salmon (O. kisutch), steelhead trout (O. mykiss), Southern Torrent Salamander (Rhyacotriton variegatus), other game and non-game fishes, other amphibians and reptiles, aquatic invertebrates, mammals, birds, and other aquatic and riparian species. The adverse effects the project could have on the fish or wildlife resources identified above include: Impacts to water quality: increased water temperature due to lower flows instream; change in dissolved oxygen; and water quality degradation. Impacts to bed, channel, or bank and natural flow; direct effects on fish, wildlife, and their habitat: stranding of fish or hindering fish passage; entrapment in isolated pools due to loss of water surface elevation downstream; direct impacts on benthic organisms; change in flow depth, width or velocity; habitat fragmentation below diversion; impediment of up- or down-stream migration; damage to aquatic habitat and function; direct and/or incidental take; indirect impacts including potential impacts to downstream coho salmon summer rearing habitat increased turbidity during sediment removal and/or instream activities; and relocation of stream channel or change in channel form.
PROJECT IMPACTS. Existing fish or wildlife resources the project could substantially adversely affect include Chinook Salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha), Coho Salmon (O. kisutch), Steelhead Trout (O. mykiss), Western Xxxxx Xxxxxxx (Lampetra richardsoni), Pacific Lamprey (Entosphenus tridentatus), Southern Torrent Salamander (Rhyacotriton variegatus),
PROJECT IMPACTS. The impacts of this project apply to teachers and students and will also be passed on to parents as students share information learned in class and carry out homework assignments. The educational materials created for this project are designed to increase student understanding of the importance of plant nutrients in growing our food supply and how those nutrients are carefully managed by farmers with the latest technology. Lessons will not only focus on nutrients in food production but will also teach students what they can do at home to build healthy soil and responsibly manage plant nutrients. These educational materials are being promoted to teachers on continual basis. Feedback from surveys and discussions with teachers will be used to improve support materials for teachers and students who are using the lessons.
