HomeMy WebLinkAboutRE_ EXTERNAL_ RE_ Canyon Loop Trail UpdateThanks Ryan. Monday would be great.
You ask the key question and my response would be that we were hoping the mitigation measures would determine that answer or at least the best approach. We realize there is a cost/time
balance between large equipment and hand carrying, yet the City isn’t in a position to say what is best from an environmental standpoint. I’m sorry that doesn’t really answer your
question, but hopefully the amount potential disturbance you identify could dictate the best approach.

Hi Ryan,
I’m aiming to get you a draft of the memo by Monday. I already prepped FWS that it was coming. Can you please let me know, with the current project design, what is the plan for construction
equipment? Will there be any or will the removals be done by hand? It will help me characterize potential disturbance better.
Thanks!

Good Morning,
Just a follow up. Plans have been approved and in the process of being signed. I should have them to you late this week or early next week. My goal is to incorporate any potential
mitigation measures with the plans and release by June 22 for bid. Hopefully this timeframe is realistic.
Thanks,
Ryan

Good Morning Alan,
Just a quick check in so you are aware. Plans were submitted to building and safety for plan check last week, so hopefully we have approval within the next two weeks. I’ll keep you
posted.

Hi Carol,
I'm putting together the materials we discussed below but I was wondering if you and I could connect informally over Microsoft Teams sometime in the next couple days prior to me sending
you anything. That would give me a chance to go over the project history with you, talk about on-site gnatcatchers, and discuss the project with you in a live conversation, which may
help make things smoother for both of us later if I can bring you up to speed beforehand.
If that works, please let me know when you're available.
Thank you!

Hi Carol,
I have a small trail widening project in Diamond Bar for which I did gnatcatcher surveys in 2020. I found multiple pairs on-site and breeding within the 500-foot buffer that I surveyed.
One of the recommendations that we made at the time was that FWS be approached to determine if the project required any sort of HCP (including low-effect), as it doesn't have a federal
nexus, and that went into the official project mitigation requirements. As the project has developed and we now as of last week have approved design drawings, the project has really
scaled back what impacts it may have on the species. The impacted acreage of CSS will be very small and the project will be incorporating temporal avoidance strategies, hoping to construct
this fall outside of the breeding season. As I mentioned, it's just a small trail widening project, widening an existing trail to 5 feet where it's generally already 3 to 4 feet wide
anyway. Super small. With the low effect HCP screening form I don't see it having any of the significant impacts that might trigger even a low effect HCP (e.g., the impacted acreage
will be nominal and will be mitigated for (we're thinking the Soquel Canyon bank), they are constructing outside of the breeding season, there is no intentional take of individual birds
proposed).
I'm hoping that at this point we can just get some sort of written concurrence from USFWS that the project will not require any additional measures beyond what is already being incorporated,
and I had hoped to connect with the appropriate person at USFWS to initiate that conversation. I had planned to put together a brief memo describing the project, past survey efforts,
and proposed avoidance measures and hopefully get something in writing back that the project impacts do not meet the level of significance requiring any sort of HCP and that the proposed
measures are adequate to protect the species.
Can you please point me in the right direction for whom I could talk to to get the ball rolling?
Thank you!
