2.0 LIST OF COMMENTERS AND RESPONSE TO COMMENTS Response to Comment Letter from Henry McGuckin (letter dated July 25, 2008) Note: Response numbers correspond to comment numbers labeled in the margin of the letter. 1) See Response to Comment McGuckin July 18-1. 2) See Responses to Comments McGuckin July 18-1 and McGuckin July 18-2 and Master Response Oak Trees and Oak Woodland. 3) See Response to Comment McGuckin July 18-1 and Master Response Oak Trees and Oak Woodland. Mitigation Measure 3.4-3 in the Draft EIR includes pre-construction surveys, avoidance as feasible during breeding season, and buffer zones to minimize impacts to raptors and nesting birds. Mitigation Measure 3.4-3 and Mitigation Measure 3.4-4, provide protection for roosting and maternity colonies for special-status bat species, both require tree removal outside of breeding seasons to avoid impacts to nesting birds and roosting bats. Trees to be removed are those required for removal to construct the Project. 4) As shown in Figure 2-3 in the Draft EIR, a 50-foot buffer will be established on both sides of Piner Creek. This buffer will be maintained during Project construction, and no construction activity would take place in the buffer area. Riparian vegetation, which extends less than 50 feet from Piner Creek (see Figure 3.4-1 of the Draft EIR), would not be removed. As discussed in Impact 3.8-2 of the Draft EIR, construction and operation of the Project could increase pollutants in stormwater runoff, including in Piner Creek. These potential impacts will be mitigated to a less than significant level through implementation of Mitigation Measure 3.8-2, Comply with all applicable state and local regulations for stormwater management. These regulations require the preparation of a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) that outlines BMPs to be used during construction, including BMPs for erosion control, sediment control, tracking control, wind erosion, and non-stormwater discharges. Regulations also require preparation of a Storm Water Mitigation Plan to address post-construction water quality impacts per Santa Rosa Area Standard Urban Stormwater Mitigation Plan (SUSMP). Also see the Responses to Comments NCRWQCB-1, 2, and 3. 5) As discussed in Section 3.4 of the Draft EIR, special-status plants species are defined as species that are: federal- or-state listed or are proposed for listing as rare, threatened, or endangered; included in the California Native Plant Society (CNPS) Inventory (CNPS List 1 through 3 Plants); or qualifying under the definition of “rare” in the CEQA, Section 15380. As discussed in Section 3.4.1 of the Draft EIR, no special-status plants were found on the Project site during the rare plant surveys performed. As evaluated in Impact 3.4-6, potential impacts to special-status plant species will be less than significant. As discussed in Appendix I to the Draft EIR, Biological Resources Assessment Report, special-status wildlife species are defined as: species that have been listed as endangered or threatened, are proposed for listing, or are candidates for such 2-90 ES092008001PHX\BAO\082970001
2.0 LIST OF COMMENTERS AND RESPONSE TO COMMENTS listings at the federal or state level. In addition, special status species evaluated included species tracked by CDFG in the California Natural Diversity Database as Species of Special Concern, Threatened or Endangered Species, Fully Protected Species, or USFWS Birds of Conservation Concern; or species protected by the Migratory Bird Treaty Act. As evaluated in Section 3.4.3, impacts to these species will be less than significant with mitigation. 6) See Responses to Comments McGuckin July 18-1, McGuckin July 18-2, McGuckin July 25-3, and McGuckin July 25-5.
