If active nests (i.e. nests in with eggs or young present) are found during the breeding season necessary) to be within 300 feet of the project footprint for raptor (birds of prey) species or 100 feet installed prior to of the project footprint for all other bird species, non -disturbance buffers shall be commencement established at a distance sufficient to minimize disturbance based on the nest of Phase I location, topography, cover, the species' tolerance to disturbance and the building activities typelduration of potential disturbance. Work within non -disturbance buffers shall be rescheduled to occur after the young have fledged as determined by a qualified biologist. Buffer size shall be determined in cooperation with the California Department of Fish and Game and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's Migratory Bird Permit Office (Region 1). If rescheduling of work is infeasible and non -disturbance buffers cannot be maintained, a qualified biologist shall be on site to monitor active nests for signs of disturbance. If it is determined that project -related activities are resulting in nest disturbance, work shall cease immediately and the California Department of Fish and Game and the Migratory Bird Permit Office shall be contacted for further guidance. Mitigation Measure Biology -2: Preconstruction surveys shall be conducted to Planning, Housing, and Planning, Housing, Preconstruction identify suitable bat roosting habitat including rock outcroppings, snags, rotten Economic Development and Economic surveys (if stumps, and decaying or diseased trees with broken limbs, exfoliating bark, Department and biological Development necessary) to be cavities, etc. Sensitive habitat areas and roost sites shall be avoided to the consultant to ensure that Department and completed prior to maximum extent practicable.
