&- A qualified biologist will be present during the initial site investigation to determine the extent of potential ground-disturbing activities within 30 feet of suitable habitat. Ground-disturbing activities within 30 feet of suitable habitat would occur between May 1 and October 31. &-- Between May 1 and October 31, ground-disturbing activities will not occur within 50 feet of suitable habitat during rainy weather. Vehicles to and from the project site would be confined to existing roadways to minimize disturbance of habitat Prior to movement of any equipment within 30 feet of suitable habitat, a qualified biologist will make sure the route to the site was clear of California red-legged frogs. &-- If a California red-legged frog is encountered during excavations, activities would cease until the frog was removed and relocated by a USFWS approved biologist. Any incidental take would be reported to the USFWS immediately by telephone at 916/414-6600. If suitable wetland habitat is disturbed or removed, a restoration plan will be prepared and implemented to restore the suitable habitat back to its original value. BIO-4 &-- The construction area will be clearly defined using orange barrier fencing to minimize disturbance to riparian vegetation and western pond turtle habitat. 3x-- A preconstruction survey by a qualified biologist for western pond turtles will be conducted within 24 hours of the start of construction activities in the Arroyo del Valle. Ifa turtle is located within the construction area, the turtle will be relocated out of this area and exclusion fence will be installed to prevent the movement of turtles back into the construction area.
