08/28/2007 Mitigation Impact 810-1.1: Removal of large redwood or oak trees and other vegetation, as part of the proposed development, may be scheduled between October and December (inclusive) to avoid the raptor nesting season and no additional surveys would be required. Mitigation Impact 810-1.2: If removal of large trees would take place between January and September, a pre-construction survey for nesting raptors shall be conducted by a qualified ornithologist to identify active nesting raptor or other bird nests that may be disturbed during project implementation. Between January and April (inclusive) pre-construction surveys shall be conducted no more than 14 days prior to the initiation of construction activities or tree relocation or removal. Between May and August (inclusive), pre-construction surveys shall be conducted no more than thirty (30) days prior to the initiation of these activities. The surveying ornithologist shall inspect all trees in and immediately adjacent to the construction area for nests. If an active raptor nest is found in or close enough to the construction area to be disturbed by these activities, the ornithologist shall, in consultation with the State of California, Department of Fish & Game (CDFG), designate a construction-free buffer zone (typically 250 feet) around the nest until the end of the nesting activity. The applicant shall submit a report indicating the result of the survey and any designated buffer zones to the satisfaction of the Department of Community Development Services prior to the issuance of a grading or building permit. Finding: The City Council of the City of Redwood City adopts Mitigation Measures BI0-1.1 and BI0-1.2 as feasible measures, and finds that their implementation would reduce biological resource impacts of the project to a less-than- significant level. F. HYDROLOGY AND WATER QUALITY IMPACTS Potential Impact HIWQ-1: Construction activities on the project site, including building and pavement removal and earthmoving, could result in adverse impacts to the water quality of Redwood and Cordilleras Creeks, and ultimately, San Francisco Bay. Standard Condition 4.7-1: Stormwater discharge will be analyzed during the final design phase and the design will follow all approved procedures in the STOPPP Hydromodification Management Plan (HMP). Meeting the flow duration control criteria generally requires some type of detention and/or infiltration facilities that reduce the volume and control the rate of post-project discharge.
