Biological Resources. Mitigation Measure M-BI-N1 (Cathedral Hill) Before any demolition or construction activities occurring during the nesting season (January 15 through August 15) that involve removal of Project Sponsor/Qualified Pre-consruction surveys prior to Pre-construction surveys for nesting Project Sponsor/Biologist Considered complete upon MONITORING AND REPORTING PROGRAM Adopted Mitigation Measures Responsibility for Implementation Mitigation Schedule Mitigation Action Monitoring/ Reporting Responsibility Monitoring Schedule trees or shrubs, CPMC shall conduct a preconstruction survey for nesting birds at each of its medical campuses. The surveys shall be conducted by a qualified wildlife biologist no sooner than 14 days before the start of removal of trees and shrubs. The survey results shall remain valid for 21 days after the survey; therefore, if vegetation removal is not started within 21 days of the survey, another survey shall be required. The area surveyed shall include the construction site and the staging area for the tree or shrub removal. If no nests are present, tree removal and construction may commence. If active nests are located during the preconstruction bird nesting survey, CPMC shall contact DFG for guidance on obtaining and complying with Section 1801of the California Fish and Game Code, which may include setting up and maintaining a line-of-sight buffer area around the active nest and prohibiting construction activities within the buffer; modifying construction activities; and/or removing or relocating active nests. Biologist any construction activities during nesting season. If active nests are found, actions to protect nesting birds to be implemented during construction. birds to be conducted by a qualified biologist. If an active nest is found close to construction area, CPMC shall contact the California Department of Fish and Game and obtain and comply with a Fish and Game Code Section 1801 agreement concerning the implementation of actions to protect nesting birds.. and ERO ERO approval of report by biologist and any actions taken to protect nesting birds pursuant to Section 1801 agreement, if necessary. Mitigation Measure M-BI-N1 (Davies [near-term]) This mitigation measure is identical to Mitigation Measure M-BI-N1 for the Cathedral Hill Campus, above.

Biological Resources. Potentially Less Than Less than No Significant Significant Significant Impact
Biological Resources. The proposed Agreement will not have any impact on biological resources, and will not change the impacts identified in the City’s CEQA documents.
Biological Resources. The operator shall avoid any Federal and/or State Threatened and Endangered Species habitat, as well as State Species of Concern that exist in areas where the Facility will be constructed. If any Federal and/or State Threatened and Endangered Species or any State Species of Concern, is found to exist in areas where the Facility will be constructed, then the operator will collaborate with Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW) to mitigate and minimize any potential impact to these species. Arrangements with CPW will be completed prior to application with the County.
Biological Resources. Issues ESA’s biologists are familiar with the regional habitat types occurring in the vicinity of the Project site, having worked on numerous Projects throughout the San Francisco Bay region. Examples specific to Marin County include the recently certified EIR for the Marin County EOF, the San Xxxxxx Rock Quarry Amended Quarry Permit and Reclamation Plan and the Redwood Landfill. Based upon our experience in the area, and our review of the RFP and supporting materials, biological resources on the Project site appear to be relatively limited. The Project site is primarily developed with existing commercial buildings and a parking lot, and is bordered by freeway and residential development. There are two undeveloped grassy areas and the site is planted with abundant trees. The eastern boundary may support a seasonal drainage and riparian vegetation. The southern tip of the Project site borders Xxxxxx Creek’s riparian corridor. The proposed Project’s primary biological resource issues are likely to be the management and removal of native and exotic trees; evaluation of native and non-native trees in the landscaping plan; direct and indirect construction impacts on nesting birds; construction and operational lighting impacts on the Xxxxxx Creek riparian corridor; and the potential for seasonal wetlands in the two grassy undeveloped areas. Rare plants are unlikely, but could be associated with the two grassy locations. Projects approved through the CEQA process should demonstrate that new land uses would be in compliance with federal, State, and local laws and Marinwood Plaza Project EIR 1-17
Biological Resources. Non-Academic Entity The materials listed below, or any portion thereof, (the "Materials") are made available to the named company (the "Company"), subject to the following conditions. Please note that Source BioScience UK Limited is willing to provide the Materials only on the following terms and conditions:
Biological Resources. The Project may result in impacts to special-status plant species, vernal pool branchiopods (fairy shrimp and tadpole shrimp and habitat), valley elderberry longhorn beetle, California tiger salamander, western spadefoot, giant garter snake, western pond turtle, nesting birds, tricolored blackbird, Swainson’s Hawk, Northern harrier, Bats (Pallid bats or any other CSC- listed bat species), San Xxxxxxx kit xxx, and American badgers species at or near the propose MPDCP site. Prior to and during construction, the Awardee will implement Mitigation Measures BIO-1 – BIO-12 of the MMRP, which California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) or U.S. Fish and Wildlife Services (USFWS) recommends conducting pre-activity clearance surveys to avoid nesting/xxxxxx/den/wetlands sites. Pipeline installation in or around the areas of special-status plant and animal species, the Applicant must consult with USFWS prior to implementation of the project to obtain required permits and authorizations for potential indirect impact to listed species. The applicant shall conduct a jurisdictional delineation of the project site to confirm the limits of jurisdictional areas and potential project impacts to state or federal projected wetlands. Therefore, with mitigation, the environmental impacts on Biological Resources will be reduced to less than significant levels.
Biological Resources. To ensure that threatened and endangered species are not likely to be adversely affected by the proposed action, the following mitigation measures shall be included in the letter of conditions for financial assistance.
Biological Resources. The Biological Study Area (BSA) for the project totals approximately 553.93 acres, which comprise 236.22 acres of vegetated areas, 2.92 acres of riverine features, and 314.79 acres of developed areas (paved surfaces of I-680, SR 84, paved or gravel driveways, structures, and residential and commercial properties). The project could result in up to 15.36 acres of permanent impacts, up to 8.30 acres of long- term temporary impacts, and up to 37.42 acres of temporary impacts to naturally occurring and disturbed vegetation communities, including communities of special concern such as valley oak woodland. A total of 821 trees may be permanently impacted, and 231 trees may be temporarily impacted by project activities. (For visual assessment purposes, all of these trees were conservatively assumed to be permanently impacted.) The project has the potential to affect three federal and/or state-listed wildlife species: California tiger salamander, California red-legged frog, and Alameda whipsnake. In addition, the project has the potential to affect other wildlife species of special concern, nesting raptors and migratory birds, and special-status bats. Avoidance and minimization measures such as preconstruction surveys, establishment of environmentally sensitive areas to be avoided, and construction personnel education would reduce effects. In addition, mitigation measures including on-site restoration, off-site preservation, and purchase of mitigation bank credits would reduce the permanent effects of the project.
