Mitigation Measure BIO-3 Alternate Bat Roosting Habitat. The City Public Works Director or designee shall ensure that alternate bat roosting habitat is incorporated into the design of the new bridge to replace crevice habitat lost from removal of the existing Fairview Street bridge over the Santa Ana River. The specifications for this replacement habitat shall be designed in consultation with a qualified bat biologist. Mitigation Measure BIO-4 Swallow Nest Removal. The City Public Works Director or designee shall ensure that if swallow nests are removed to prevent swallows from nesting within the Project area during construction activities, they shall be removed in the fall (i.e., September or October) prior to expected or potential overwintering use by bats, and in a manner that ensures they do not fall to the ground or are otherwise destroyed, unless the absence of bats is confirmed through inspection by a qualified bat biologist. Mitigation Measure BIO-5 Nighttime Lighting during Construction. To minimize temporary indirect impacts during nighttime work for Project construction within 200 feet of the bridge structures, the Construction Contractor shall ensure that night lighting is used only in the area actively being worked on and focused on the direct area of work, and airspace access to and from the roost features of a structure shall not be obstructed except in direct work areas. Mitigation Measure BIO-6 New Bridge Lighting. To avoid permanent indirect impacts to roosting and foraging bats, the City Public Works Director or designee shall ensure that bridge lighting on the new bridge is designed and installed in such a way that light overspill into the Santa Ana River and beneath the bridge is limited to the greatest extent practicable.
