Document Description
The Project consists of long-term (30 years) operations and maintenance of the Permittee’s electrical and natural gas facilities and infrastructure within its service area, as well as minor new construction activities and habitat conservation and enhancement activities.
The Project will result in impacts to 142.8 acres of California tiger salamander (Ambystoma californiense) (CTS) modeled habitat including temporary impacts to 109.5 acres of upland habitat and 0.5 acres of aquatic habitat with 3.2 acres of indirect impacts to aquatic habitat. The Project will permanently impact 24.6 acres of upland habitat and 5 acres of aquatic CTS modeled habitat. The project is expected to result in the incidental take of CTS, which is designated as a threatened species under the California Endangered Species Act. The ITP referenced above as issued by CDFW authorizes incidental take of species listed under CESA that may occur as a result of Project implementation.
