2 Environments 7.B. - Page 61 <br /> • Identification measures to be implemented to conserve the potential species and <br /> habitats within the project area;and <br /> • Distribution of an informative fact sheet to personnel who may enter the project area. <br /> Mitigation Measure BIO 6: Construction Monitoring <br /> A qualified biologist shall be present during vegetation clearing and initial ground disturbance <br /> adjacent to the banks of Redwood Creek and during installation of the cofferdam for the US <br /> 101 undercrossing. If any occupied nests,roosting bats, or endangered species are <br /> encountered during construction,the City shall consult with the CDFW or USFWS to <br /> develop appropriate measures to be taken to avoid disturbance to nesting birds or any <br /> endangered species. <br /> Mitigation Measure BIO 7: Site Construction Management Practices <br /> The following site management practices shall be implemented during construction of the <br /> pump station and US 101 undercrossing project: <br /> • Existing access routes, staging areas, and work areas shall be limited to existing paved or <br /> disturbed surfaces. <br /> • All food and food-related items shall be enclosed in sealed trash containers and <br /> completely removed from the site at the end of each day. <br /> • All equipment shall be properly maintained to prevent leaks such as gasoline, oil, and <br /> solvents, and a Spill Response Plan shall be prepared. <br /> • The Contractor shall store all hazardous substances and materials in sealable storage <br /> containers in designated locations on paved surfaces and at least 100 feet from aquatic <br /> habitats. <br /> • Vehicle equipment fueling and maintenances shall occur at commercial gas stations or <br /> within designated staging areas that are at least 100 feet from aquatic habitat. <br /> • Biodegradable coir rolls, straw wattles, or silt fences will be installed at appropriate <br /> locations along the base of slopes during construction to capture sediment. <br /> Mitigation Measure BIO 8: Revegetation of Disturbed Areas <br /> The Contractor shall restore all unpaved areas temporarily affected by the project <br /> construction to their original or improved conditions. The Contractor shall hydroseed the <br /> disturbed areas along the creek bank with a native plant mix. <br /> With the implementation of these mitigation measures, the potential impacts to endangered and <br /> special status species would be less than significant. (Less than Significant Impact with <br /> Mitigation Incorporation) <br /> b)Have a substantial adverse effect on any riparian habitat or other sensitive natural <br /> community identified in local or regional plans,policies, regulations or by the California <br /> Department of Fish and Game or US Fish and Wildlife Service? <br /> 2-21 US 101 Pedestrian Undercrossing and Bair <br /> Island Road Storm Drain Pump Station Project <br />
