a. PUD Condition __ requires that the Property Owner prepare a pre- jurisdictional wetlands assessment satisfactory for U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' permit review prior to any development activity (including grading) on the project site. The Property Owner must also obtain verification from the Corps regarding its jurisdiction over wetlands and other federally regulated waters on the project site before submitting a grading application to the City. PUD Condition requires the Owner to obtain necessary approval of a Clean Water Act Section 404 permit from the Corps, and/or any other governmental agency with Section 404 authority, prior to application for a grading permit from the City to fill jurisdictional wetlands and other federally regulated waters of the U.S. b. PUD Condition states that should the Corps require mitigation for those areas under its jurisdiction to be filled, the Property Owner will.retain a qualified wetland consultant to prepare a detailed Wetlands Mitigation and Monitoring Plan, including identification of avoidance alternatives. Mitigation areas, preferably on-site, must be identified. This condition requires mitigation for the loss of existing seasonal or emergent wetlands and other waters at a replacement ratio required by the Corps, but no less than 1: 1; requires mitigation areas to achieve equivalent or higher habitat values than those areas being replaced; requires that the Mitigation Plan include site preparation and re-vegetation procedures, an implementation schedule, funding sources, final success criteria, long-term management and maintenance responsibilities, monitoring requirements, and contingency measures. d. The Final EIR notes the habitat value of the stockpond is limited due to the absence of vegetation and its previous contamination; the habitat value of the isolated marries is "marginal"; and the drainage ditches "cannot be described as providing significant habitat." Creating and/or restoring wetlands elsewhere on the site will exceed or improve existing habitat values. e. The G-reenbriar Project Phase I impacts fewer acres of the project site than the Cooperative Plan or the Preferred Plan. This reduces the possibility that wetlands will be disturbed by Phase I. If wetlands are located in Phase II, future development will be subject to further environmental review 4. I_l~t~_Q~. Potential adverse effects of golf course, fertilizers, herbicides and other chemicals on animal species. None. Fining: Changes or alterations have been required in, or incorporated into, the Project which avoid or substantially lessen the significant environmental effect identified in the Final EIR to a less than significant level. 46
