LSA ASSOCIATES, INC. APRIL 2018 1548 MAPLE STREET PROJECT MITIGATION MONITORING AND REPORTING PROGRAM ATTY/RESO.0035/CC RESO CERTIFYING FINAL EIR – 1548 MAPLE REV: 04-30-18 PR Page 26 of 49 Table 1: Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program Impact Mitigation Measures Timeframe for Implementation Responsibility for Implementation Oversight of Implementation B. BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES BIO-1: Construction of the proposed project and the project variant could result in impacts to nesting white-tailed kites and other native birds protected under the federal Migratory Bird Treaty Act and California Fish and Game Code. BIO-1: To the extent feasible, initial grading and vegetation removal activities shall occur during the non-nesting season (September 1 to January 31). For any construction activities conducted during the nesting season, a qualified biologist (i.e., experienced in searching for passerine nests) shall conduct a preconstruction nest survey of all trees or other suitable nesting habitat in and within 250 feet of the limits of construction activities. The survey shall be conducted no more than two days prior to the start of work. If the survey indicates the presence of nesting birds, the biologist shall determine an appropriately sized buffer around the nest in which no work shall occur until the young have successfully fledged. The size of the nest buffer shall be determined by the biologist and shall be based on the nesting species and its sensitivity to disturbance. In general, buffer sizes of up to 250 feet for raptors and 50 feet for other birds should suffice to prevent substantial disturbance to nesting birds, but these buffers may be increased or decreased, as appropriate, depending on the bird species and the level of disturbance anticipated near the nest. Prior to any construction activities Project Applicant Redwood City Community Development Director BIO-2: Construction of the proposed project and the project variant could result in impacts to longfin smelt, a special-status species, and other native fish species. BIO-2a: If it is necessary to work below the ordinary high water mark or mean high tide line within Redwood Creek, the work shall be restricted to the period between August 1 and November 30 when longfin smelt are unlikely to be present. If it is not practicable to conduct the in-water work within this timeframe, the applicant shall obtain an Incidental Take Permit from California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) prior to initiation of in-water work, which typically specifies avoidance, minimization, and compensation measures to reduce effects to a less-than- significant level.
