Biological Services. 2.5.1 Conduct Surveys and Prepare Maps and Reports These tasks include biological field surveys on an as-needed basis for Public Utilities Department projects. Types of surveys needed may range
Biological Services. The A-E will, at the request of OCWR, perform construction related monitoring at the Prima Deshecha Landfill and South Region sites in compliance with conditions and requirements set forth in project permits and authorizations, as well as in existing project plans, monitoring plans and related documents. Services may include monitoring for vegetation clearing, nesting birds, special-status plants or animals, or conserved vegetation types. The A-E will be responsible for monitoring all habitat types within the construction project limits at Prima Deshecha Landfill, which may include riparian, coastal sage scrub (CSS), wetland, and native grassland habitats. The A-E will be responsible for preparation of reports and memos based on all monitoring and field work performed per project permits, plans, authorizations and related documents or as requested by OCWR
Biological Services. The Environmental subconsultant’s qualified biologists will conduct a record search of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) all-species database, California Department of Fish and Wildlife’s (CDFW’s) California Natural Diversity Database (CNDDB), County of San Diego’s SanBIOS database, and other sources to identify sensitive species that have been reported from the vicinity of the project. The Environmental subconsultant’s biologists will conduct a biological resources survey of the project area. The survey will include vegetation mapping, a plant and animal inventory, and a search for sensitive plant and animal species that are apparent at the time of the survey. Vegetation communities will be mapped for areas within 100 feet of the proposed project footprint. The area to be investigated for special status animal species will extend 300 feet from the proposed project footprint. The plant and animal species inventory will focus on the undeveloped area within the west end of the project, west of Xxxxx Street and south of Wing Flight Court. As the majority of the survey area occurs within private property, the survey will be conducted from the public right-of-way with the use of binoculars. Photographs of the project area will be taken during the survey. Following the biological survey, the biologists will prepare a biological resources map of the survey area showing vegetation communities and land cover types, as well as the observed locations of sensitive, rare, and/or endangered species. Vegetation communities will be mapped in accordance with City Guidelines. Preliminary reviews of the project information found no indications focused surveys, wetland delineation, or permits will be required. If later required, these tasks can be performed for an additional scope and fee.
