BIOLOGICAL IMPACTS Sample Clauses

BIOLOGICAL IMPACTS. As analyzed in the Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND), staff has determined that the project could have impacts on two species of concern (giant garter snake and burrowing owl) as well as wetlands and some plant species. Mitigation measures required by the MND would reduce those impacts to a less than significant level. Construction of the project has the potential to affect any giant garter snakes that currently occupy the site. Implementation of standard avoidance measures recommended by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service have been incorporated in Mitigation Measure BIO-1 in the MND. The applicant has prepared an Interim Management Plan and a Long Term Specific Management Plan which outline the details of how the property will be maintained for the benefit of the giant garter snake. The two plans describe responsibilities that include, for example, management and maintenance of canals, gates, pumps, flashboard risers, and similar water management infrastructure; and management of wetland and upland vegetation to maintain habitat suitability for giant garter snake. The other animal species that could be affected is the burrowing owl. A mitigation measure requires that prior to any site grading or construction activity in both the breeding and non-breeding season, the applicant shall conduct burrowing owl surveys in conformance with CDFW burrowing owl recommendations. The applicant is not required to mitigate for loss of Xxxxxxxx'x hawk foraging habitat. According to the biological analysis, high-quality foraging habitat is limited in the vicinity of the site. The majority of the site and immediately surrounding areas are actively farmed rice, fallowed agricultural land, or wetlands. Rice and wetlands provide little to no foraging value due to poor accessibility to Swainson's hawk and relatively low prey populations. Fallowed agricultural land can support a constant prey base, but the vegetation structure (typically characterized by tall weeds) inhibits effective Swainson's hawk foraging. Approval of the project requires approvals by the two main wildlife agencies involved, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) and the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW), since the garter snake is listed by both the federal and the state Endangered Species Act (ESA). However, the two Acts and the agencies have differing legal and bureaucratic requirements for approving "take" permits and approving the actual mitigation bank itself and authorizing mitigat...

BIOLOGICAL IMPACTS. (ALTERNATIVE 1) Target Species Non-target Species/Incidental Catch Table 10- List of non target species interactions by gear type for bottom longline and sink gillnets in the Northeast Region. Table 10 demonstrates the expected interactions with non-target species for both longlining and gillnetting. Of particular concern is the predictable increase in catch rates of yellowtail flounder, winter flounder, white xxxx, and American plaice, which would occur with any net increase in gillnetting. Each of these species is currently overfished. Skates, pollock, haddock, monkfish, and lobster catch rates may also increase.

  • Human Leukocyte Antigen Testing This plan covers human leukocyte antigen testing for A, B, and DR antigens once per member per lifetime to establish a member’s bone marrow transplantation donor suitability in accordance with R.I. General Law §27-20-36. The testing must be performed in a facility that is: • accredited by the American Association of Blood Banks or its successors; and • licensed under the Clinical Laboratory Improvement Act as it may be amended from time to time. At the time of testing, the person being tested must complete and sign an informed consent form that also authorizes the results of the test to be used for participation in the National Marrow Donor program.

  • SHOP DRAWINGS, PRODUCT DATA AND SAMPLES 4.12.1 Shop Drawings are drawings, diagrams, schedules and other, data specially prepared for the Work by the Contractor or any Subcontractor, manufacturer, supplier or distributor to illustrate some portion of the Work. 4.12.2 Product Data are illustrations, standard schedules, performance charts, instructions, brochures, diagrams and other information furnished by the Contractor to illustrate a material, product or system for some portion of the Work. 4.12.3 Samples are physical examples which illustrate materials, equipment or workmanship and establish standards by which the Work will be judged. 4.12.4 The Contractor shall review, approve and submit, with reasonable promptness and in such sequence as to cause no delay in the Work or in the work of the State or any separate contractor, all Shop Drawings, Product Data and Samples required by the Contract Documents. 4.12.5 By approving and submitting Shop Drawings, Product Data and Samples, the Contractor represents that he / she has determined and verified all materials, field measurements, and field construction criteria related thereto, or will do so, and that he / she has checked and coordinated the information contained within such submittals with the requirements of the Work and of the Contract Documents. 4.12.6 The Contractor shall not be relieved of responsibility for any deviation from the requirements of the Contract Documents by the Architect's approval of Shop Drawings, Product Data or Samples under Subparagraph 2.2.7 of these General Conditions unless the Contractor has specifically informed the Architect and the State in writing of such deviation at the time of sub- mission and the Architect and the State has given written approval to the specific deviation. The Contractor shall not be relieved from responsibility for errors or omissions in the Shop Drawings, Product Data or Samples by the Architect's approval thereof. 4.12.7 The Contractor shall direct specific attention, in writing or on resubmitted Shop Drawings, Product Data or Samples, to revisions other than those requested by the Architect on previous submittals. 4.12.8 No portion of the Work requiring submission of a Shop Drawing, Product Data or Sample shall be commenced until the submittal has been approved by the Architect as provided in Subparagraph 2.2.7 of these General Conditions. All such portions of the Work shall be in accordance with approved submittals.

  • Influenza Vaccine Upon recommendation of the Medical Officer of Health, all employees shall be required, on an annual basis to be vaccinated and or to take antiviral medication for influenza. If the costs of such medication are not covered by some other sources, the Employer will pay the cost for such medication. If the employee fails to take the required medication, she may be placed on an unpaid leave of absence during any influenza outbreak in the home until such time as the employee has been cleared by the public health or the Employer to return to the work environment. The only exception to this would be employees for whom taking the medication will result in the employee being physically ill to the extent that she cannot attend work. Upon written direction from the employee’s physician of such medical condition in consultation with the Employer’s physician, (if requested), the employee will be permitted to access their sick bank, if any, during any outbreak period. If there is a dispute between the physicians, the employee will be placed on unpaid leave. If the employee gets sick as a reaction to the drug and applies for WSIB the Employer will not oppose the application. If an employee is pregnant and her physician believes the pregnancy could be in jeopardy as a result of the influenza inoculation and/or the antiviral medication she shall be eligible for sick leave in circumstances where she is not allowed to attend at work as a result of an outbreak. This clause shall be interpreted in a manner consistent with the Ontario Human Rights Code.
