PROJECT DESCRIPTIONTABLE II-1 (Continued)SUMMARY OF ALAMEDA WATERSHED MANAGEMENT ACTIONSManagementAction Number 1 Summary of Management Actions 2 PotentialAdversePhysicalEffectsAnalyzedin thisProgram-Level EIRMay RequireProject-SpecificEnvironmentalReview 3veg11veg12veg13Develop and implement an IPM Program for the LRMS, specific to the Watershed andWatershed resources. (Phase 1)Coordinate with PG&E in clearing vegetation as appropriate around powerlines, transformers,and pole structures. (Phase 2)Encourage agencies to minimize disturbance of serpentine bedrock or soils to prevent erosion ofasbestos fibers into the water supply. (Phase 1)No No YesYes Yes YesNo No NoWildlife (wil)wil1wil2Conduct site-specific review of new structures, linear facilities, parking lots, roads, or trails toavoid adverse impacts to wildlife. (Phase A)Prior to undertaking any Watershed activity in a high ESZ, survey affected habitat to determinethe presence of listed or sensitive taxa and to minimize adverse effects. (Phase A)wil7 Create palatable re-sprouting browse through mechanical vegetation treatments or prescribed firein brush and woodland communities.

(Phase 3)wil4 Relocate or eliminate unnecessary infrastructure and facilities to reduce fragmentation andNo No Nodisruption of terrestrial habitat. (Phase 3)wil5 Remove/relocate unnecessary fencing that may impede wildlife movement. (Phase 3) Yes Yes Nowil6 Establish a standard for number of snags/fallen trees/nesting trees per acre for wildlife use andnutrient cycling. Downwood and brush piles should be left as habitat and cover where safety andfire hazard are not concerns. (Phase 3)No No NoYes Yes Yes1 Inclusion does not ensure that funding, staff, or equipment will be made available to implement these actions, nor does it obligate the SFPUC to implement actions it chooses not to.2 Phasing of the management actions is identified by one or more of the following categories: (1) Phase 1 – within 5 years of Management Plan adoption; (2) Phase 2 – within 10 years ofadoption; (3) Phase 3 – within 20 years of adoption; and/or (A) on an as-needed basis, and (B) at regular intervals throughout the life of the Management Plan.3 MEA would require examination of these actions, when proposed, to determine if further CEQA project-level environmental review of these actions were necessary.NOP 96.223E: Alameda Watershed Management Plan II-33 ESA / 930385January 2001
