construction access and shall monitor the installation of the barrier. Following the <br /> installation of the barrier, designated construction personnel shall check its <br /> integrity each morning that construction activities occur, and shall initiate repairs <br /> immediately as needed. <br /> BIO-4.4: Within Belmont Slough, the project limits shall also be clearly <br /> demarcated with Environmentally Sensitive Area fencing to avoid inadvertent <br /> impact of any habitat outside of the designated area of disturbance during <br /> construction activities. The fencing can be combined with the exclusion barrier <br /> but must not be outside that barrier. <br /> BIO-4.5: If a salt marsh harvest mouse or salt marsh wandering shrew, or an <br /> animal that could be a harvest mouse or wandering shrew (e.g., a similar species <br /> of mouse or shrew), is observed on the project site during project activities, all <br /> work that could result in the injury or death of the individual shall stop <br /> immediately and the qualified biologist shall be immediately notified. The animal <br /> shall be allowed to leave the area on its own and shall not be handled. <br /> BIO-4.6: Upon completion of all project grading, the area located north of the Bay <br /> Trail on the project site shall be planted with native-dominated plants appropriate <br /> to the location, elevation, and salinity of the area to provide high tide refuge <br /> habitat for salt marsh harvest mice and salt marsh wandering shrews. No trails or <br /> hardscape features shall be constructed within this area and signage shall be <br /> installed along the Bay Trail excluding people and dogs from this area. The <br /> restored transition zone area shall consist of grassland habitat dominated by <br /> native, rhizomatous facultative wetland species (e.g., creeping wild rye [Elymus <br /> triticoides]), or a shrub overstory with rhizomatous grassland understory. A <br /> restoration ecologist shall prepare a revegetation plan, which shall be developed <br /> along with project plans and integrate with the project's construction plans where <br /> earthwork and/or equipment access and staging overlap with the restoration <br /> area. The revegetation plan shall include 1) a site preparation plan to remove <br /> invasive plants, reduce germination from the non-native seed bank, and prepare <br /> the topsoil, 2) a planting and seeding plan that shall serve to install the target <br /> plant species and control erosion associated with the project's earthwork, and 3) <br /> a three-year maintenance plan that includes irrigation and weed control <br /> measures. Implementation of the restoration shall be conducted in a manner that <br /> prevents further spread or introduction of invasive species during restoration. <br /> BIO-4.7: Where lights are installed, they shall be placed on the perimeter of the <br /> facility and directed downward and inward toward the facility roads, pathways, <br /> and buildings, away from the marsh, thus limiting the amount of light spilling into <br /> areas outside of the facility. Shielding shall also be installed on each light as <br /> necessary to block illumination from shining upward or outward into Belmont <br /> Slough. <br /> Finding: Implementation of Mitigation BIO-4.1 — 4.7 would reduce the project-related <br /> impact of increasing predation and/or loss of habitat for the salt marsh harvest <br /> mice and salt marsh wandering shrews through project lighting to a less than <br /> significant level. <br /> ATTY/RES0.0036/PC RESO CERTIFYING EIR—ORACLE DESIGN TECH HIGH SCHOOL <br /> REV:04-29-16 VR <br /> Page 8of31 <br />
