I will serve as the primary biologist and project manager for the project,ensuring that the required surveys and permit conditions are fulfilled. Given the size and duration of the project,I have supplemented Pacific Biology's capabilities by including other well qualified biologists that will be readily available to assist with the project. This will ensure that a qualified biologist is always available to be onsite when needed. The resumes of the biologists to assist with the project are included in Appendix A. The tasks to be conducted and described below are based on the biological monitoring and survey requirements outlined in the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) Streambed Alteration Agreement(January 2015) and the biological resources mitigation requirements of the Final Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration for the Recycled Water Project(August 2014). The CDFW permit requirements would apply only to the portion of the project associated with the installation of approximately 1,300 linear feet of new pipe below the Arroyo Mocho, while the Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration mitigation requirements would apply to the entire project. TASKS CDFW PERMIT REQUIREMENTS Task 1: Approval of Designated Biologist (Condition 2.5) The resumes of the designated biological monitor(s) will be submitted to the CDFW for approval. Given the size and duration of the project several resumes of qualified biologists will be submitted to ensure that a qualified biologist is always available.
