SELECTED EXPERIENCE Lower Pinole Creek Demonstration Project, Contra Costa County. Served as the Service-Approved biologist for the required biological monitoring for state and federally listed species(i.e.,salt marsh harvest mouse,California clapper rail,California black rail,California red-legged frog). Also conducted the required clearance surveys and worker's biological resources training. Managed and participated in the jurisdictional wetland delineation,rare plant surveys,and plant communities mapping. Prepared the biological resources section of the Initial Study. Davis Street Pump Station Project, Alameda County. Served as the Service-Approved biologist for the required biological monitoring for federally listed species(i.e.,salt marsh harvest mouse,California clapper rail). Conducted the required biological resources sensitivity training. Soulajule Spillway Repair Project,Marin County. Served as the Service-Approved biologist for the required monitoring services for California red-legged frog,steelhead,and other species. Also conducted the required clearance surveys and worker's biological resources training. Prepared a biological habitat evaluation report for the Soulajule Spillway Repair Project on behalf of the Marin Municipal Water District. The report was submitted to the Army Corps of Engineers(ACOE),California Department of Fish and Game(CDFG),U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), and National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) during the required biological permitting process(i.e.,Section 7,1600,404). The report was accepted by the agencies as written and all biological permits were issued for the project. Damon Slough Desilting Project,Alameda County. Pacific Biology prepared the BA for the project. The proposed desilting area is located in the portion of Damon Slough adjacent to and downstream of the Oakland Coliseum. Key issues included potential impacts to California clapper rail and green sturgeon. Storm Water Channel Zone 3A,Line A Silt Removal Project,Alameda County. Pacific Biology prepared the BA for the project. The project site includes aquatic habitat within Old Alameda Creek and associated brackish and tidal marshes. The proposed action is to excavate accumulated sediments from the flood plain in order to restore the design flood flow and to improve the flood protection of adjacent properties. Key issues included potential impacts to salt marsh harvest mouse and steelhead. Zone 6 Lines B and C,Alameda County,Alameda County. Pacific Biology prepared an Addendum to the BA for the project,which reflected changes made to the project and an updated mitigation strategy. Pacific Biology also oversaw the preparation of the wetland delineation of the proposed mitigation area and wetland mitigation and monitoring plan(MMP). Key issues included potential impacts to California clapper rail and salt marsh harvest mouse. Laguna Creek(Zone 6 Line E)Hood Damage Reduction Project,Alameda County.Pacific Biology prepared the BA for the project. Pacific Biology also oversaw the preparation of the wetland delineation, and is currently overseeing the preparation of the wetland mitigation and monitoring plan and permit applications for the project (i.e., Section 404, 401, 1600). Key issues evaluated included potential impacts California clapper rail,steelhead,and California tiger salamander. Redwood City Ferry Terminal Project,San Mateo County. The project includes the construction of a ferry terminal and associated structures at the Port of Redwood City. Prepared the biological constraints analysis and will prepare the biological resources section of the EIR/EIS(upon refunding of the project by the state). Key biological issues evaluated included potential impacts to tidal marsh habitat and associated special-status wildlife species(e.g.,salt marsh harvest mouse,California clapper rail,California black rail)and disturbance to harbor seals. Golden Gate Bridge Physical Suicide Deterrent System Project NES,San Francisco and Marin Counties. Prepared the NES on behalf of Caltrans and the Golden Gate Bridge Transportation District. Issues evaluated included potential harm to migrating birds due to collisions or entanglement with the barrier and potential impacts to sensitive biological resources(e.g.,Mission blue butterfly)bordering staging areas in the Golden Gate National Recreation Area.
