Existing fish or wildlife resources the project could substantially adversely affect include: steelhead (Oncorhynchus mykiss), Foothill Yellow-legged Frog (Rana boylii), other amphibians, reptiles, aquatic invertebrates, mammals, birds, and other aquatic and riparian species. The adverse effects the project could have on the fish or wildlife resources identified above include direct and/or incidental take of species protected under the California Endangered Species Act, mortality contributing to local decline or extirpation of California species of special concern, impeded up- and/or down-stream migration of aquatic species, damage to spawning and/or rearing habitats and potential cumulative impacts.
PROJECT IMPACTS. The Contractor shall develop a refined impact analysis for the proposed project. The Contractor shall conduct a more detailed assessment of the current state of the transportation challenge this solution is addressing in the community(ies) being targeted as it relates to the final NYCTP proposal. The Contractor shall further detail the anticipated impacts and benefits of the proposed project.
PROJECT IMPACTS. Existing fish and wildlife resources within the OWEF could potentially be impacted by the project features described above. These species include but are not limited to: BIRDS – Swainson’s hawk (Buteo swainsoni), Xxxxxx’x xxxx (Accipiter cooperii), sharp-shinned hawk (Accipiter striatus), golden eagle (Aquila chrysaetos), xxxxx goose (Branta bernicla), ferruginous hawk (Buteo regalis), Vaux’s swift (Chaetura vauxi), northern harrier (Circus cyaneus), burrowing owl (Athene cunicularia), yellow warbler (Dendroica petechia), loggerhead shrike (Xxxxx ludovicianus), merlin (Falco columbarius), prairie falcon (Falco mexicanus), American peregrine falcon (Falco peregrinus anatum), Xxxxxx’x sparrow (Spizella breweri), Xx Xxxxx’x xxxxxxxx (Toxostoma lecontei lecontei), American kestrel (Falco sparverius); REPTILES – flat- tailed horned lizard (Phrynosoma mcallii), barefoot banded gecko (Coleonyx switaki) rosy boa (Xxxxxxx trivirgata); PLANTS – Wolf’s cholla (Cyundropuntia wolfii), little San Bernardino Mountains linanthus (Linanthus maculates), Xxxxxx’x lotus (Lotus haydonii), mountain springs xxxx lupine (Lupinus excubitus var. medius), Xxxxxxx’x milk-vetch (Astragalus insularis var. harwoodii), jack-ass clover (Wislizenia refracta ssp. refracta), deboltia (Cynanchum utahense), desert unicorn plant (Proboscidea althaeifolia), and xxxxxxx’x pilostyles (Pilostyles thurberi); and all other fish and wildlife resources in the project vicinity. The adverse effects the project could have on the fish and wildlife resources identified above include the disturbance to and/or alteration of foraging, refuge, and nesting/breeding habitat. The construction of the project will result in temporary (22.79) and permanent (4.18) impacts that total 26.97 acres of DFG jurisdictional areas. Impacts will occur from streambank erosion and stream sedimentation, vegetation removal within the streambed, and filling of non-wetland waters to construct the network of roads through the site. Impacts are broken down to 0.73 acres of Allscale scrub, 17.05 acres of Cheesebush scrub, 0.58 acres of Creosote xxxx-allscale scrub, 0.26 acres of Creosote xxxx-fourwing saltbush scrub, 0.09 acres of Fourwing saltbush, 0.01 acres of Mesquite thicket, 2.88 acres of Smoke tree woodland, and 5.37 acres of streambed. If any additional unanticipated impacts occur to riparian habitat and/or streambed during project activities, the Permittee shall submit an application for an amendment to this Agreement to author...
PROJECT IMPACTS. Existing fish or wildlife resources the project could substantially adversely affect within and downstream of the project area without implementation of the conditions contained within this Agreement include: Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha), coho salmon (O. kisutch), steelhead trout (O. mykiss), Southern Torrent Salamander (Rhyacotriton variegatus), other game and non-game fishes, other amphibians and reptiles, aquatic invertebrates, mammals, birds, and other aquatic and riparian species. The adverse effects the project could have on the fish or wildlife resources identified above include: Impacts to water quality: increased water temperature due to lower flows instream; change in dissolved oxygen; and water quality degradation. Impacts to bed, channel, or bank and natural flow; direct effects on fish, wildlife, and their habitat: stranding of fish or hindering fish passage; entrapment in isolated pools due to loss of water surface elevation downstream; direct impacts on benthic organisms; change in flow depth, width or velocity; habitat fragmentation below diversion; impediment of up- or down-stream migration; damage to aquatic habitat and function; direct and/or incidental take; indirect impacts including potential impacts to downstream coho salmon summer rearing habitat increased turbidity during sediment removal and/or instream activities; and relocation of stream channel or change in channel form.
PROJECT IMPACTS. Existing fish or wildlife resources the project could substantially adversely affect include the California coastal gnatcatcher (Poliopitila californica californica) and all other aquatic and wildlife resources in the area, including the riparian vegetation which provides habitat for such species in the area. These resources are more specifically described in Exhibit A, Biological Constraints Survey for the Walnut Canyon Reservoir Landscape Maintenance Project, City of Anaheim, Orange County, California, October 28, 2014, Bonterra/Xxxxxx - See the Exhibit Section of this Agreement. The project as implemented will result in approximately 0.18 acres of permanent impacts to herbaceous riparian vegetation trimming and minor sediment removal for fire clearance and maintenance associated with the channel. Intermittent trimming and minor sediment removal may result in some temporary impacts to oak riparian habitat as a result of trimming and herbaceous vegetation during sediment removal. The Permittee shall notify CDFW if additional impacts beyond those expressly stated herein occur. CDFW must be notified and additional mitigation and/or measures to protect resources may be required. In addition, if annual maintenance results in type conversion of habitat from herbaceous riparian to a habitat of lower function and value, additional mitigation for permanent impacts may be required.
PROJECT IMPACTS. Existing fish or wildlife resources the project could substantially adversely affect include Chinook Salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha), Coho Salmon (O. kisutch), Steelhead Trout (O. mykiss), Western Xxxxx Xxxxxxx (Lampetra richardsoni), Pacific Lamprey (Entosphenus tridentatus), Southern Torrent Salamander (Rhyacotriton variegatus),
