Document Description
Within the 3-mile-long Project Area, the Project will involve the installation of two pair of new street lights, the installation of three pair of traffic count stations, the rehabilitation of 15 existing culverts, roadway resurfacing, and replenishing the gravel covering the three-foot wide shoulder backing.
The Project could result in take of San Joaquin antelope squirrel (Ammospermophilus nelsoni, SJAS) including mortality (“kill”), due to vehicle strikes, destruction of burrows, or temporary disturbance to habitat resulting in the loss of individuals over the five-year term of the ITP. The Project is expected to result in incidental take of SJAS, which is designated as a threatened species under the California Endangered Species Act. The ITP amendment referenced above as issued by CDFW authorizes incidental take of species listed under CESA that may occur as a result of Project implementation. Amendment No. 1 extends the time frame for completion of Habitat Management Lands Acquisition by 36 months (from 18 months in the original ITP to 54 months).
