7C Page 42 deternline if the distance of the territory from the construction activity is a suitable buffer requiring no further action, If breeding territories are found to be potentially impacted by construction-related ��ise, al! cor.struction activities should be prohibited within the buffer area as specified by the USFWS and/or CDFG. The City of Redwood City shalf not issue a grading permit for the project until the noise issues are resolved to the satisfaction of the USFWS and CDFG. Copies of written correspondence between USFWS and CD�G and the appiicant shali be submitted to the City prior to issuance of a grading permit. Findings: Implementation of these measures would reduce this potentiaf impact to a less-than-significanf level. E. Project-Related Loss of Estuarine Navigable Waters and Other Waters of the U.S. Potentiai impact S-5: The proposed project would fill approximately 9.50 acres of "navigable and other waters of the United States" tha# are within the jurisdiction of the Corps of Engineers under section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act ("navigable waters") and sectian 404 of the Clean Water Act {"other waters of the U.S."). This would represent a potenfially significant impact. Mitsgation 8-5: The applicant shail: {1) obtain Sectian 10 and 404 permits from the Army Corps of Engineers (Corps); (2) obtain a Section 409 Clean Water Certification or Waiver fram the Regianal Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB); and, if required, (3) obtain a 1603 Strearnbed Alteration Agreement with the Caiifornia Department of Fish and Game (CDFG). The applicant shafl also: {1) coordinate with the NOAA Fisheries, USFWS, and CDFG on steelhead and chinook salmon issues {see Mitigation 8-1); {2) caordinate with the NOAA Fisheries on Essential Fish Habitat issues {ses Mifigation 8-2); and (3)formulate and implement a Habitat Mitigation and Monitoring Plan (HMMP) f�r these potentially affected speciai-status estuarine species to the satisfac#ion of the Corps, NOAA �isheries, USFVI/S, CDFG, and RWQCB. The HMMP should include a campensatory mitigation plan ta repEace es#uarine, navigable, and other waters of the U.S. filled by the project, Such an HMMP would be required by the Corps and USFWS as a condition of the Section 404 permit, by the RWQCB as a condition of Section 401 Clean Water Certification or Waiver, and by the CDFG as a conditian of a Section 1603 Streambed Alteration Agreement{if required). The City o# Redwood City shall not issue a grading permit for the project until the permits have been obtained by the applicant and the associated mitigation and monitaring plans are approved by the responsible agencies. Findings: lmplementation of these measures would reduce this potential impact ta a less-than-signifrcant level. F. Loss of Saiine Emerqent Wetlands Potential Impact 8-fi: The praposed project may fill saline emergen# wetlands. Loss of saline emergent wetlands would represent a potentially significant impacf. Mitigation 8-6: The applicant shall: (1) obtain a Section 404 permit from the Ar►�r�y Corps of Engineers; and (2} obtain a Section 401 Clean Water Certification or Waiver from AttyJReso/Reso.1772 2� 121307
