ATTY/RESO.0114/PC RESO CERTIFYING FINAL EIR – 557 E. BAYSHORE ROAD REV: 12-09-22 VR Page 51 of 61 Mitigation Monitoring or Reporting Program 557 East Bayshore Road Project (SCH #2017072047) Impacts Mitigation Timeframe for Implementation Responsibility for Implementatio n Oversight of Implementatio n shrews below the top of bank of the muted tidal drainage ditch will be reduced from 0.4 acre to 0.3 acre following project construction. However, the quality of the existing habitat in this area is very low, nonnative, invasive plant species that are maintained by mowing. Following construction, the 0.3-acre area below the top of bank will be planted with low-growing, non-woody California native grasses and forbs at a density of 100 percent cover. As a result, although the overall habitat area will be slightly smaller, the improved quality of the vegetative community will be higher and will provide more suitable refugial and foraging habitat for salt marsh harvest mice and salt marsh wandering shrews compared to the current habitat. Compensatory mitigation. If the planting of high tide refugial habitat within the muted tidal drainage ditch is determined to be infeasible, the project shall provide compensatory mitigation for permanent impacts to 0.3 acre of muted tidal marsh, which is considered potential habitat for the salt marsh harvest mouse and salt marsh wandering shrew. The compensatory mitigation shall be satisfied through the purchase of credits at a conservation bank that provides suitable habitat for these species. The conservation bank does not necessarily need to be approved specifically for these two mammal Prior to planting of landscaping along the Muted Tidal Ditch Following project construction Project applicant Director of the Community Development and Transportation Department Director of the Community Development and Transportation
