Biological Resources (cont.)

• Prior to initiating grading or ground disturbance activities associated with remediation activities required prior to site development, the following shall occur:
• Not less than 45 days prior to site grading, a qualified biologist shall survey the site to determine the presence of active burrowing owl nests. If active nests are found passive relocation of the individuals would be accomplished according to the CDFW standards in effect at the time of the survey including the 2012 CDFW Staff Report on Burrowing Owls.
• Results of the burrowing owl survey will be forwarded to CDFW.
• Should the results of the survey include positive finding for occupied burrows, the location and condition of the burrows shall be reported to the CDFW and an on-site mitigation plan shall be prepared for review and approval by the CDFW. Onsite mitigation shall include construction of artificial burrows at a ratio of not less than 1:1 with the burrows located away from areas permitted for use by dogs and hikers. Following construction of the artificial burrows, the existing owls shall be passively removed from their burrows using one- way trap doors. The artificial burrows shall be monitored for a period of five years to confirm occupation by the species. Monitoring reports shall be forwarded to the CDFW to document compliance with this mitigation measure.

4.C-1e: Prior to construction of any wind turbines within the Project Site, the applicant for such wind turbines shall prepare a site-specific micrositing report in designing the proposed turbine layout that incorporates modeling of raptor species’ flight patterns, hovering or kiting patterns, bat roosting habitat areas and foraging areas. The report shall provide micrositing recommendations to reduce avian collision and impacts to bat species that shall be implemented in the final design and placement of wind turbines.
