Document Description: The Project includes replacement of two deteriorating 100,000-gallon redwood water tanks that provide water for domestic consumption and emergency fire control. The new steel tanks will be located on the site of the existing tanks, but improvements and grading will occur on currently undeveloped areas adjacent to the existing tanks. The Project will result in the permanent loss or disturbance of 0.25 acres of habitat and temporary loss of 0.28 acres of habitat potentially used by Alameda whipsnakes (Masticophis later/is euryxanthus) and California tiger salamanders (Ambystoma californiense) as movement and/or upland habitat. The Project is expected to result in incidental take of Alameda whipsnake and California tiger salamander which 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.
