Environmentally Sensitive Areas and Wildlife Exclusion
Wildlife exclusionary fencing (WEF) will be installed around the perimeter of all work areas within potential western spadefoot breeding and non-breeding habitat (up to 1,500 feet away from breeding habitat) as determined by a Qualified Biologist.
Fencing will consist of woven nylon fabric at least 2 feet in height and attached to wooden stakes. The lower 1 foot of material will stretch outward along the ground and be secured with a continuous line of sandbags to prevent soil disturbance and burrowing beneath the fence. All fencing materials will be maintained during construction and completely removed after construction is completed. The fencing will be inspected by a Qualified Biologist before the start of each workday and maintained by the Project Proponent until completion of the project. The fencing will be removed after all construction equipment is removed from the project site (see GPM-7, Environmentally Sensitive Areas and/or Wildlife Exclusion).
