2011) shall be instituted. The air quality construction plan shall be included on all <br /> grading, utility, building, landscaping, and improvement plans during all phases of <br /> construction, access roads, parking areas, and staging areas at construction sites. <br /> 29.Pre-construction Breeding Bird Surveys: Prior to development of the subject site <br /> and each phase of project activities that have the potential to result in impacts on <br /> breeding birds, the project applicant/developer shall take the following steps to <br /> avoid direct losses of nests, eggs, and nestlings and indirect impacts to avian <br /> breeding success: <br /> a) If grading or construction activities occur only during the nonbreeding season, <br /> between August 31 and February 1, no surveys shall be required. <br /> b) Pruning and removal of trees and other vegetation, including grading of <br /> grasslands, should occur whenever feasible, outside the breeding season <br /> (February 1 through August 31). <br /> c) During the breeding bird season (February 1 through August 31) a qualified <br /> biologist shall survey activity sites for nesting raptors and passerine birds not <br /> more than 14 days prior to any ground-disturbing activity or vegetation <br /> removal. Surveys shall include all line-of-sight trees within 50D feet (for <br /> raptors) and all vegetation (including bare ground) within 250 feet for all other <br /> species. <br /> d) Based on the results of the surveys, avoidance procedures shall be adopted, <br /> if necessary, on a case-by-case basis. These may include construction buffer <br /> areas (up to several hundred feet in the case of raptors) or seasonal <br /> avoidance. <br /> e) Bird nests initiated during construction are presumed to be unaffected, and no <br /> buffer is necessary except to avoid direct destruction of a nest or mortality of <br /> nestlings. <br /> f) If preconstruction surveys indicate that nests are inactive or potential habitat <br /> is unoccupied during the construction period, no further mitigation is required. <br /> Trees and shrubs that have been determined to be unoccupied by nesting or <br /> other special-status birds may be pruned or removed. <br /> 30.Pre-construction Bat Surveys: Prior to issuance of a building or grading permit, a <br /> qualified biologist shall conduct a pre-construction special status bat survey when <br /> large trees are to be removed or underutilized or vacant buildings are to be <br /> demolished. If active day or night roosts are found, the bat biologist shall take <br /> actions to make such roosts unsuitable habitat prior to tree removal or building <br /> PUD-81-30-87D, Anton Hacienda Apartments May 21, 2013 <br /> Page 5 of 33 <br />
