Protection Measures Selection Tool

If agency-approved biologist determines that some work activities can take place within the exclusion buffer described in Measure PLANT-003 without causing any adverse direct or indirect impacts to special-status plants identified for avoidance, those approved work activities may be conducted within the exclusion buffer. Special-status vernal pool plants will be clearly marked by an agency-approved biologist prior to worker entry into the exclusion buffer. Workers may only enter the exclusion buffer when accompanied by an agencyapproved biologist, and all work within the exclusion buffer will be monitored by an agency-approved biologist.
