Page 2 of 3 <br /> 8.A. - Page 109 <br /> (Mitigation Measure Biology-9, excerpt): <br /> "If active nests (i.e. �ests in with eggs or young present) are founcf <br /> within 300 feet of the project footprint far raptor (birds of prey) species or 1 QO feet <br /> of the project footprint for all other bird species, non-disturbance buffers shall be <br /> established at a distance sufficient to minimize disturbance based on the nest <br /> location, topography, co�er, the species' tolerance to disturbance and the <br /> typelduration of potential disturbance. Work within non-disturbance buffers shall <br /> be rescheduled to occur after the young ha�e fledged as determined by a <br /> qualified biologist." <br /> (Mitigation Measure Biology-2, excerpt) <br /> "If suitable roosting habitat is identified, the following measures shall be <br /> conducted: A qualified biologist shall survey suitable roost sites immediately prior <br /> to the remo�al ar grading of rock outcroppings, debris piles, man-made <br /> structures, etc. Removaf of suitable tree roost sites shall be conducted by first <br /> removing limbs smaller than 3 inches in diameter and peeling away loose bark. <br /> The tree shall then be left o�ernight to allow any bats using the treelsnag to find <br /> another roost during their nocturna! activity periad. A qualified biologist shall <br /> survey the treeslsnags a second time the following morning priar to felling and remaval." <br /> O�erall, I am skeptica� about the full enforceability of such an ambitious MMRP. I expressed similar <br /> opinions during the public hearing held on December 7, 2D10 by the Pla�ning Commission. <br /> Thanks for your kind consideration of this letter, <br /> David Rodriguez-Gomez <br /> 8116/20l 1 <br />
