the crossing site. Photographs and other documentation of adherence to Mitigation Measure #BIO-3: shall be incorporated into the PCP Program Files. (*CDFW personnel are responsible for monitoring site conditions at stream crossings related to project adherence to the terms of that agency’s 1600 Stream Alteration Agreement.) Mitigation Measure #BIO 4: Pre-Project Implementation Special Status Species Surveys The PCP Manager, a professional biologist or other individual selected by the PCP Manager who is appropriately trained in the identification of Specials Status species as shown in Appendix E Results of California Natural Diversity Database Inquiries and Species Review shall evaluate potential habitat for such species within PCP sponsored project impact areas. Such surveys shall be completed prior to implementation of impactive activities during appropriate blooming or identification period. All sightings shall be documented using the California Natural Diversely Data Base (CNDDB) field survey form a copy of which, shall be submitted to the CNDDB, the California Department of Fish and Wildlife Regional Office CEQA Review Team; 601 Locust Street Redding CA, 96001 using its “Online Field Survey Form” which can be accessed at A copy shall also be submitted to the PCP Manager who shall incorporate it into the PCP Program Files. Qualifications for personnel who make evaluations of sites include those found in the California Department of Fish and Wildlife’s 2009 document entitled “Protocols for Surveying and Evaluating Impacts to Special Status Native Plant Populations and Natural Communities” (Appendix F). The provisions of Appendix F shall apply to both plant and animal species. If any Federal or State listed threatened, endangered or other Special Status species are detected within areas that that may be impacted by PCP sponsored project work, a flagged 25’ “No Treatment Buffer” shall be established. Within such buffer areas, no project work shall be conducted until consultation with California Department of Fish and Wildlife or United States Fish and Wildlife Service personnel as appropriate have been conducted and agency recommendations for protection incorporated into the PCP Application’s project work scope. Biological surveys shall also map invasive plant species listed by the California Department of Food and Agriculture and the California Invasive Plant Council (Cal-IPC)
Impacts related to noise will be less than significant. ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES Potentially Significant Impact Less Than Significant with Mitigation Incorporated Less Than Significant Impact No Impact XIII. Population and Housing. Would the project: a) Induce substantial population growth in an area, either directly (for example, by proposing new homes and businesses) or indirectly (for example, through extension of roads or other infrastructure)? b) Displace substantial numbers of existing homes, necessitating the construction of replacement housing elsewhere? c) Displace substantial numbers of people, necessitating the construction of replacement housing elsewhere? Discussion a) Would the project induce substantial population growth in an area, either directly (for example, by proposing new homes and businesses) or indirectly (for example, through extension of roads or other infrastructure)? No Impact. None of the activities to be conducted in connection with this permitting program entail the development of any structures or activities that would induce population growth. No impacts related to population growth are anticipated. b) Would the project displace substantial numbers of existing homes, necessitating the construction of replacement housing elsewhere?
