shall be implemented.
MM AIR-1 During site preparation and grading activities, all off-road
construction equipment greater than 150 horsepower (>150
HP) shall be ARB certified Tier 3 or better.
MM BIO-1 To be in compliance with the MBTA and the California Fish and
Game Code, and to avoid and reduce direct and indirect
impacts on migratory non-game breeding birds, and their
nests, young, and eggs to less than significant levels, the
following measures shall be implemented.
All ground-disturbing activities, including removal of
vegetation, that would remove or disturb potential nest sites
shall be scheduled outside the breeding bird season, if
feasible. The breeding bird nesting season is typically from
January 15 through September 15, but can vary slightly
from year to year, usually depending on weather conditions.
Removing all physical features that could potentially serve
as nest sites outside of the breeding bird season also would
help to prevent birds from nesting within the project site
during the breeding season and during construction
activities.
If project activities that would remove or disturb potential
nest sites cannot be avoided during January 15 through
September 15, a qualified biologist shall conduct a pre-
construction clearance and nesting bird survey to search for
all potential nesting areas, breeding birds, and active nests
or nest sites within the limits of project disturbance up to
seven days prior to mobilization, staging and other
disturbances. The survey shall end no more than three days
prior to vegetation, substrate, and structure removal and/or
disturbance.
If no breeding birds or active nests are observed during the
pre-construction survey, or if they are observed and would
not be disturbed, then project activities may begin and no
further mitigation would be required.

If an active bird nest is located during the pre-construction
survey and potentially would be disturbed, a no-activity
buffer zone shall be delineated on maps and marked
(flagging or other means) up to 500 feet for special-status
avian species and raptors, or 75 feet for non-special status
avian species, at the discretion of the qualified biologist.
The limits of the buffer shall be demarcated so as to not
provide a specific indicator of the location of the nest to
predators or people. Materials used to demarcate the nests
would be removed as soon as work is complete or the
fledglings have left the nest. Buffer zones shall not be
disturbed until a qualified biologist determines that the nest
is inactive.
Birds or their active nests shall not be disturbed, captured,
handled or moved. Inactive nests may be moved by a
qualified biologist, if necessary, to avoid disturbance by
project activities.
MM CUL-1 Prior to any ground-disturbing activities, the applicant shall
retain the services of a qualified archaeologist and Tribal
Monitor. Copies of contracts with monitoring archaeologists
and Tribal Monitors shall be provided to the City prior to the
issuance of any ground-disturbing permit. Full-time
archaeological monitoring shall be conducted by a qualified
archaeologist for excavations that will exceed 3 feet in depth.
In the event that buried cultural resources are discovered
during construction, the archaeologist shall be permitted to
stop construction operations within 50 feet of the find and the
Applicant and/or the Applicant’s representative shall
immediately notify the City. The archaeologist shall determine
whether the find requires further study. The Applicant shall
include a standard inadvertent discovery clause in every
construction contract to inform contractors of this requirement.
The archaeologist shall make recommendations concerning
appropriate measures that will be implemented to protect the
resource(s), including but not limited to excavation and
evaluation of the finds in accordance with Section 15064.5 of
the CEQA Guidelines. Any previously undiscovered resources
found during construction within the project area should be
recorded on appropriate Department of Parks and Recreation

site or any nearby area reasonably suspected to overlie
adjacent human remains until the County Coroner is
contacted to determine if the remains are Native American
and if an investigation of the cause of death is required. If
the coroner determines the remains to be Native American,
the coroner shall contact the Native American Heritage
