The ITP authorizes incidental take of the threatened California tiger salamander (Ambystoma californiense), San Joaquin antelope squirrel (Ammospermophilus nelsoni), Swainson’s hawk (Buteo swainsoni), and San Joaquin kit fox (Vulpes macrotis mutica) and the endangered Tipton kangaroo rat (Dipodomys nitratoides nitratoides), (collectively, the Covered Species), species designated as threatened and endangered under CESA. Major Amendment No. 24 is re-issued due to needed corrections and makes 15 changes to the ITP, as previously amended. This Amendment updates the Principal Officer and Contact Person, updates the location of the northern end of this Fresno to Bakersfield alignment to match the southern end of the Merced to Fresno HST alignment, increases the size of the Project Construction Footprint by 34.05 acres to a total of 6,692.58 acres of cumulative disturbance to accommodate access and egress, design improvements for McCombs Avenue, SR 46 and the Merced Overpass, utility relocations, and other Covered Activities, removes application of dust suppressants from the list of Covered Activities on page 70, updates Table 8 for Roadway and Utility Modifications by adding 7 new locations and adding acreage to 14 existing locations, updates Table 9 by adding impacts to the Covered Species Habitat Impacts types for Tipton kangaroo rat, San Joaquin antelope squirrel, Swainson’s hawk and San Joaquin kit fox resulting from the increase to the Project Construction Footprint, but also decreases the total impact to Swainson’s hawk habitat due to a re-evaluation of the suitable habitat features at the time of the pre-construction surveys despite the increase in the number of nests within half a mile of the Construction Footprint, modifies the way the Swainson’s hawk impacts and mitigation are calculated, from a correlated approach of suitable habitat features which depended on distance from each nest to a uniform approach throughout the alignment extending to ten miles south of the southernmost known Swainson’s hawk nest occurring within 0.5 miles of the Construction Footprint, updates Table 10 to include all the known Swainson’s hawk nest trees up through the 2021 nesting season, adds Table 10A listing all active Swainson’s hawk nest trees that have been or will be removed from within the Construction Footprint, adds Condition of Approval 7.1.5 for Small Mammal Burrow Flagging which requires flagging of burrows characteristic of kangaroo rat and San Joaquin antelope squirrel in addition to the mapping in Condition of Approval 7.1.2, 8.16.2 and 8.17.2, changes Condition of Approval 7.9 to allow for Swainson’s hawk detailed information to be submitted to CNDDB and CDFW at the end of the nesting season rather than within 60 days, adds Condition of Approval 8.14.4 regarding the annual survey for Swainson’s hawk and Condition of Approval 8.14.5 regarding Swainson’s hawk restrictions for nightwork, clarifies that den and burrow excavations can occur by the General Biological Monitor(s) under the direct supervision of the Designated Biologist(s) for San Joaquin kit fox, San Joaquin antelope squirrel, and Tipton kangaroo rat, updates Table 11 and increases the required compensatory HM lands and the Performance Security amount based on the accompanying estimates of management costs required to mitigate for Covered Species impacts, modifies Exhibit 6, the “Baseline Map Book,” by replacing Map Book Pages 1-4, 6, 9, 27, 30, 32, and 37 to reflect the increased Project Construction Footprint.
