This amount of open space would <br />more than sufficiently compensate for any <br />loss of golden eagle foraging habitat. <br />Additionally, Focal Species <br />Impact/Mitigation Scoring Sheets located in <br />Appendix E of the EACCS were used as part <br />of the assessment for suitability of <br />mitigation lands for the golden eagle. <br />Standardized mitigation ratios for the golden <br />eagle, according to Table 3-10 in the EACCS, <br />is 3:1 within the East Bay Hills Mitigation <br />Area where the project and associated <br />conservation land are sited. The majority of <br />the area proposed for preservation consists <br />of grassland habitat, although it also <br />includes woodland and riparian woodland <br />habitat. <br />MM BIO-1e: Avoidance and Minimization <br />Measures for American Badger <br />Pre-construction surveys conducted for <br />burrowing owls (MM BIO-1i) will also be <br />used to determine presence or absence of <br />badgers within or immediately adjacent to <br />the development footprint. Therefore, the <br />burrowing owl study identified in MM BIO-1i <br />will include American badger. If an active <br />badger den is identified during pre- <br />construction surveys within or immediately <br />adjacent to the construction envelope, a <br />construction-free buffer of up to 300 feet (or <br />other distance specified by California <br />Department of Fish and Wildlife [CDFW]) <br />shall be established around the den. <br />Because badgers are known to use multiple <br />burrows in a breeding burrow complex, a
