Document Description
The Project is limited to vegetation and tree removal, dewatering of emergent wetlands with ephemeral connectivity to the Steer Ditch Canal, installation (trenching, placement, and removal) of giant garter snake (GGS) exclusion fencing, excavation and soil importation to construct the expanded shoulders and bioswales, grading of the embankments to create the side slopes, and permanent erosion control and hydroseeding. The Project will result in impacts to 8.22 acres of giant garter snake (Thamnophis gigas) habitat; the Project will permanently remove 8.22 acres of giant garter snake habitat. The Project is expected to result in incidental take of giant garter snake which is designated as a threatened species under the California Endangered Species Act. 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.
