58, Section 4.5.4.1 for a full list of BMPs and control measures included in this mitigation measure) Finding: Implementation of Mitigation BIO-1.1 would reduce the project-related impact of temporary degradation water quality of Belmont Slough impacting plant &wildlife species during construction to a less than significant level. Facts in Support of Finding: This mitigation measure is consistent with best management practice to reduce impacts from erosion, sedimentation, and other activities that could degrade the water quality of the slough. This practice would be in compliance with the National Pollution Discharge Elimination System and offer a number of options to minimize impacts on water quality. Please refer to the DEIR and Appendix D, Biological Survey, for further analysis. Impact: BIO-2: Construction activities could result in the introduction of invasive weeds into adjacent sensitive habitats. Mitigation: BIO-2.1: Prior to project implementation, the project site shall be surveyed for the presence of slenderleaved iceplant, freeway iceplant, and other "highly" invasive plant species. Any invasive plants found within the area shall be removed and disposed of in a sanitary landfill, incinerated off-site, or disposed of in a high- temperature composting facility that can compost using methods known to kill weed seeds, taking care to prevent any seed dispersal during the process by bagging material or covering trucks transporting such material from the site. BIO-2.2: During construction activities, all seeds and straw materials used on- site shall be weed-free, and all gravel and fill material shall be certified weed- free. Construction vehicles and all equipment shall be washed (including wheels, undercarriages, and bumpers) before entering the project site. Vehicles shall be cleaned at existing construction yards or car washes. The project applicant shall document that all vehicles have been washed prior to commencing work. Tools such as chainsaws, hand clippers, and pruners shall be washed before entering the work areas. All washing shall take place where rinse water is collected and disposed of in either a sanitary sewer or landfill. Finding: Implementation of Mitigation BIO-2.1 and 2.2 would reduce the project-related impact of temporary introduction of invasive weeds into sensitive habitat to a less than significant level. Facts in Support of Finding: These mitigation measures appropriately identify invasive species and spell out a process for their removal and re-introduction. Please refer to the DEIR and Appendix D, Biological Survey, for further analysis. Impact: BIO-3: Due to the regional rarity of special-status fish and the ecological importance of essential fish habitat and Fishery Management Plan (FMP)- managed fish species, such impacts would be significant. Mitigation: BIO-3.1: In compliance with the NPDES, the project shall comply with the San Francisco RWQCB Municipal Regional Stormwater Permit, which requires new development projects to consider adequate measures to limit pollution generation, discharge, and runoff that could occur post-construction. Consideration of appropriate source control and stormwater treatment measures to avoid and minimize adverse postconstruction impacts on water quality during ATTY/RES0.0036/PC RESO CERTIFYING EIR—ORACLE DESIGN TECH HIGH SCHOOL REV:04-29-16 VR Page 6 of 31
