Hello Julisa,
I just wanted to check on the status of the biological monitor approvals for this project, as well as to forward you a copy of the pre-construction survey report. The only sensitive
species observed on-site during the pre-construction survey were California Gnatcatcher and Cooper’s Hawk, both of which are known to occur on-site and were addressed during the CEQA
process already. Submittal of this report is for additional fulfillment of the requirements of BIO-4 in the project’s MMRP.
Construction is still planned to begin next week. Please let me know if you have any questions about the survey results or about the proposed monitors. I believe we may have one or two
additional resumes to forward to you, which I’ll do when I receive them.
Thank you!

Hello Julisa,
I was referred to you by my coworker Anisha Malik who said you have taken over as the designated CDFW biologist for the Canyon Loop Improvement Project in Diamond Bar. The project is
gearing up to start construction potentially at the beginning of next week. Under Measure BIO-4 of our MMRP, a CDFW-approved biological monitor is required during vegetation removal
and grubbing. I am submitting resumes of proposed and/or potential monitoring staff for your approval, as well as my own as I will have an oversight role as well. Final staffing will
be dependent on availability.
Please let me know if you have any questions, I look forward to your response.
Thank you!

Hi Ryan,
I wanted to give you a heads up that we've gotten a complaint from a concerned citizen about the impacts associated with the Canyon Loop Project. We just wanted to check in and make
sure everything is being implemented as laid out in the MND. The specific concerns appear to be regarding the erosion control BMPs and width of the trail. If you could confirm that
the project is being built as planned and that all BMPs are appropriately placed, we would greatly appreciate it and we will be happy to prepare a response regarding the ITP question.
