Ryans,
I just got an update on the permanent impacts earlier today from Endemic. Based on their calculations,
* Of 0.009 acre of California sagebrush – black sage scrub that was calculated for impacts, the project has permanently removed 0.0049 acre.
* Of 0.128 acre of disturbed California sagebrush – black sage scrub that was calculated for impacts, the project has permanently removed 0.0572 acre.
* Of 0.050 acre of coast prickly pear scrub that was calculated for impacts, the project has permanently removed 0.0159 acre.
That should cover anything that is needed for the HMMP, but let me know if there’s anything else you need. Thanks!

Thanks for the heads up Ryan.
Ryan Winkleman – did we get confirmation on any reductions of the impact areas that would be relevant to the HMMP?

Hi Ryan,
Sorry, but I should have included you earlier. As you can see, some residents and Robb Hamilton have inquired recently about the project and the HMMP.
Thanks,
Ryan Wright

Hi Mr. Hamilton,
Michael Baker international and the City are currently working on a very thorough HMMP which should be finalized in the next several weeks as the projects completes the grading and ground
disturbance phase.
Take Care,
Ryan

Hi Mr. Wright,
Thank you. I'm interested to know what is being planned for the restoration. Is the Habitat Mitigation and Monitoring Report available for review?

Good Morning Mr. Hamilton,
The City of Diamond Bar consulted with Carol Roberts, ESA Sections 7 and 10 Division Supervisor with the USFWS, in July and August 2022 regarding the project's impacts on California
Gnatcatchers. It was her determination that with the project's timing outside of the breeding season, avoidance measures, and planned on-site coastal sage scrub habitat restoration,
the project would not result in significant impacts to the species and would not require an incidental take permit.
Take Care,
Ryan

Hi Mr. White,
Could you please send me a PDF of the Incidental Take Permit that allows for impacts to the California Gnatcatcher from the Canyon Loop Trail Improvements Project?
Thank you,
