B.A. - Page 278 Pete's Harbor <br /> airy or rceawooa i,i y Revised EIR Addendum <br /> January 22, 2014 Page 3-37 <br /> 3.5 BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES <br /> The relationships of the current Pete's Harbor project to the previously certified 2003 EIR <br /> biological resources impact and mitigation conclusions are described below. Habitat types <br /> present on the reduced project site are depicted on Figure 3.5-1. <br /> Note that the California Department of Fish and Game (CDFG) has changed its name to the <br /> California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW). This change has been reflected throughout <br /> this Revised Addendum No. 2. <br /> Impact 8-1 Analysis: Impacts on Steelhead and Chinook Salmon. The 2003 EIR indicated <br /> that the Marina Shores Village project would permanently fill approximately 11.54 acres of <br /> existing estuarine habitat for steelhead and two species of chinook salmon; and also indicated <br /> that project construction activities would temporarily disrupt this habitat. The associated 2003 <br /> EIR mitigation required applicant coordination with the National Oceanic &Atmospheric <br /> Administration (NOAA) Fisheries (referred to in the 2003 EIR as the "National Marine Fisheries <br /> Service") and the California Department of Fish and Game (CDFG) on steelhead and chinook <br /> salmon issues, and formulation of a Habitat Mitigation and Monitoring Plan (HMMP) subject to <br /> the approval of the NOAA Fisheries and CDFG. The 2003 EIR also described several specific <br /> measures likely to be required by these agencies as part of the HMMP. The NOAA Fisheries <br /> and CDFG HMMP approval processes were also detailed in the 2003 EIR. <br /> The current Pete's Harbor project would not fill any existing estuarine habitat. However, the <br /> potential for impacts related to the proposed inner marina reconfiguration, hand boat launch <br /> installation, and construction directly adjacent to estuarine habitat (e.g., water turbidity, <br /> contaminant release, noise) would remain. <br /> Conclusion. Modified impact and mitigation. Impact and Mitigation 8-1 from the 2003 EIR <br /> have been modified to remove the references to filling and dredging, which would not be <br /> required under the current Pete's Harbor project. References to the proposed inner marina <br /> reconfiguration and hand boat launch installation have been added, and a cross-reference to <br /> Mitigation 9-3 (Temporary Impacts from Proposed Inner Marina Reconfiguration) has been <br /> added. Also, the references to CDFG have been changed to CDFW. The modified mitigation <br /> remains sufficient to reduce this impact to a less-than-significant level. <br /> Impact 8-2 Analysis: Impacts on Essential Fish Habitat. The certified 2003 EIR identified <br /> an impact similar to Impact 8-1 above, in which the project-related loss of existing estuarine <br /> area (and the disruption of the existing estuarine area during project construction) would result <br /> in the permanent loss, and temporary construction period disruption, of essential benthic habitat <br /> for the following federally protected fish: certain species of rockfish, flat fish, sharks, and rays, <br /> the Pacific sardine, the northern anchovy, and other species. The associated 2003 EIR <br /> mitigation was the same as the mitigation for Impact 8-1 above. <br /> The current Pete's Harbor project would not fill any existing estuarine habitat. However, the <br /> potential for impacts related to the proposed inner marina reconfiguration, hand boat launch <br /> installation, and construction directly adjacent to estuarine habitat (e.g., water turbidity, <br /> contaminant release, noise) would remain. <br /> Conclusion. Modified impact and mitigation. Impact and Mitigation 8-2 from the 2003 EIR <br /> have been modified to remove the references to filling and dredging, which would not be <br /> T.110695 Pete's Harbor EIR Addendumlrevised addendum no 213(10695-01).doc <br />
