Document Description
The Project involves replacement and rehabilitation of 134 existing culverts. The Project will involve creating new drainage inlet and outlet structures and placing rock slope protection. The Project is expected to result in the permanent loss of approximately 0.04 acres and temporary disturbance to approximately 8.29 acres of potential foraging and nesting habitat for Crotch’s bumble bee (Bombus crotchii, CBB), in the permanent loss of approximately 0.017 acres and temporary disturbance to approximately 1.19 acres of upland habitat for California tiger salamander (Ambystoma californiense, CTS), and in the permanent loss of up to 0.174 acres and temporary disturbance of up to 0.087 acres of tree anemone (Carpenteria californica, TRAN). CBB is designated as a candidate species under the California Endangered Species Act (CESA). and CTS and TRAN are designated as threatened species under CESA. 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. Amendment No. 1 extends the time frame for completion of the Habitat Management Land Acquisition.
