Biological Resources <br />MM BIO-1a: Prior to demolition, a qualified wildlife biologist <br />will conduct clearance surveys for special -status bats <br />concurrently with the nesting birds pre -construction survey to <br />confirm there is no roosting on -site. Survey methodology may <br />include visual surveys of bats (e.g., observation of bats during <br />foraging period), inspection for suitable habitat, bat sign (e.g., <br />guano), or use of ultrasonic detectors (Anabat, etc.). Visual <br />surveys will include the existing vacant structure and trees <br />located on the project site. The type of survey will depend on <br />the condition of the potential roosting habitat. If no bat roosts <br />are found, then no further study is required. <br />If evidence of bat use is observed, the number and species of <br />bats using the roost will be determined. Bat detectors may be <br />used to supplement survey efforts. <br />If roosts are determined to be present and must be removed, <br />the bats will be excluded from the roosting site before the <br />facility is removed. A mitigation program addressing <br />compensation, exclusion methods, and roost removal <br />procedures will be developed prior to implementation. <br />Exclusion methods may include the use of one-way doors at <br />roost entrances (bats may leave but cannot not reenter), or <br />sealing roost entrances when the site can be confirmed to <br />contain no bats. Exclusion efforts may be restricted during <br />periods of sensitive activity (e.g., during hibernation or while <br />females in maternity colonies are nursing young). <br />If roosts cannot be avoided or it is determined that <br />construction activities may cause roost abandonment, such <br />activities may not commence until permanent, elevated bat <br />houses have been installed outside of, but near to, the <br />FirstCarbon Solutions <br />Y:\Publications\Client(PN-1N)\0327\03270041\MMRP\03270041 City of Santa Ana 7-Eleven MMRP.docx <br />Verification of Completion <br />Responsible for <br />Method of Verification Timing of Verification Verification Date Initial <br />Confirm pre -construction Prior to demolition City of Santa Ana <br />surveys for special -status <br />bats and nesting birds <br />were conducted. <br />1-15 <br />
