Document Description
This Project involves replacement and rehabilitation of existing culverts at 40 locations within the 18-mile section of SR 33.
As amended, the Project will result in impacts to 6.048 acres of blunt-nosed leopard lizard (Gambelia sila), San Joaquin antelope squirrel (Ammospermophilus nelsoni) and San Joaquin kit fox (Vulpes macrotis mutica) combined habitat including temporary impacts to 2.918 acres; the Project will permanently remove 3.13 acres of blunt-nosed leopard lizard, San Joaquin antelope squirrel and San Joaquin kit fox habitat. The Project is expected to result in incidental take of blunt nosed leopard lizard, which is designated as endangered under California Endangered Species Act (CESA) and as fully protected under Fish and Game Code 5050, and the San Joaquin antelope squirrel and San Joaquin kit fox, which are both 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. Amendment No. 1 authorizes the addition of blunt-nosed leopard lizard as a Covered Species and makes related changes to some of the ITP Conditions of Approval.
