4.C-2a: The applicant shall avoid or minimize adverse effects on sensitive natural communities and restored wetland mitigation areas created to comply with remediation permit requirements or any restored habitat that may have been created as part of site clean-up actions. After Project Site remediation has concluded, measures shall be implemented to avoid impacts to sensitive natural communities or restored habitat areas, including the installation of silt fencing, straw wattles, or other appropriate erosion and sediment control methods or devices to prevent runoff and construction debris from entering these areas.

Such measures shall also be employed where pre- construction grading and post-remediation development may require work adjacent to sensitive natural communities, either prior to or after restoration of those areas occurs. Where construction activities occur in the vicinity of sensitive natural communities onsite, the following shall be implemented to ensure no loss of restored mitigation sites:

• Fencing shall be erected adjacent to the areas where construction is occurring to avoid unintended impacts to sensitive natural area that occur just outside the construction area, and shall be constructed in a manner that will not impede wildlife access to wetland areas. Construction workers will be educated about local resources and instructed to avoid sensitive habitats during construction including limiting any human intrusion into natural areas.
• If work in the vicinity of natural communities cannot be avoided, work within these areas shall be conducted during the dry season, typically between May 1 and October 15, and shall occur under permit authority of CDFW, Corps and RWQCB pursuant to the CWA Section 404 requirements for avoidance, mitigation and monitoring. Mitigation Measures 4.2-2b and 4.C-2c shall also apply if work cannot be avoided in or directly adjacent to sensitive natural areas or restored habitats created as part of site cleanup actions.

Applicants for grading and site-specific development

City of Brisbane City Engineer

The City Community Development Director shall prepare conditions of approval for site-specific development projects requiring that grading and other ground-disturbing activities result in no overall loss in habitat value of onsite sensitive natural communities. Conditions of approval shall require that compliance with this requirement be confirmed through a mitigation plan to be prepared by a qualified biologist with expertise in affected species and habitats.

The City Engineer shall not issue any permits for grading or other ground- disturbing activities without verification of (1) completion of the required mitigation plan to the Community Development Director’s satisfaction, (2) approval of a fencing plan by the Community Development Director, and

(3) that required state and federal regulatory permits have been issued.

Prior to commencement of grading or other ground- disturbing activities, the City Engineer shall confirm in the field that required fencing is in place.
