If active nests of bird species covered by the Migratory Bird Treaty Act are detected within the proposed development project area or within a 300-foot buffer of the proposed development project area, construction shall be halted until the young have fledged, until a qualified biologist has determined the nest is inactive, or until appropriate mitigation measures that respond to the specific Page 1-32 • The Planning Center|DC&E August 2013
