Within this overall footprint, another area approximately 30 feet qquare (900 square feet) would be excavated to a depth of 2 feet below the existing bed and removing another 900 cubic feet of soil. A total of 2,500 cubic feet of soil would be removed. All soil would be disposed of at a nearby off-site location where it cannot reenter the pond site. To the extent possible, no vegetation would be disturbed as a result of the Project. The Project is necessary to restore habitat previously created for the benefit of California red-legged frogs (Rana aurora draytonii) and Santa Cruz long-toed salamander (Ambystoma macrodactylum croceum). All work would be done when the site is dry and devoid of water.
