Impacts Found to be Less Than Significant
BIO-1 A pre-construction survey for resident burrowing owls shall be conducted by a qualified biologist within 30 days prior to commencement of grading and construction activities within the project site. If ground disturbing activities in the surveyed areas are delayed or suspended for more than 30 days after the pre- construction survey, the area shall be resurveyed for owls. The pre-construction survey and any relocation activity would be conducted in accordance with the current Staff Report for Burrowing Owl Mitigation published by the California
Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW).
If active nests are identified at the project site during the pre- construction survey, the nests shall be avoided or the owls actively or passively relocated. To adequately avoid active nests, no grading or heavy equipment activity shall take place within at least 250 feet of an active nest during the breeding season (February 1 through August 31), and 160 feet during the non- breeding season.
The project developer shall
contract with a qualified
biologist to conduct a
survey for resident
burrowing owls. The survey
shall be conducted within
30 days of grading and
construction activities
within the project site. If
active nests are identified at

If burrowing owls occupy the project site and cannot be avoided, active or passive relocation shall be used to exclude owls from their burrows, as agreed to by the City of Camarillo Community Development Department and the CDFW. Relocation shall be conducted outside the breeding season or once the young are able to leave the nest and fly. Passive relocation is the exclusion of owls from their burrows (outside the breeding season or once the young are able to leave the nest and fly) by installing one- way doors in burrow entrances. These one-way doors allow the owl to exit the burrow, but not enter it. These doors shall be left in place 48 hours to ensure owls have left the burrow. Artificial burrows shall be provided nearby. The project area shall be monitored daily for one week to confirm owl use of burrows before excavating burrows in the impact area. Burrows shall be excavated using hand tools and refilled to prevent reoccupation.
Sections of flexible pipe shall be inserted into the tunnels during excavation to maintain an escape route for any animals inside the burrow. The CDFW shall be consulted prior to any active relocation to determine acceptable receiving sites available where this species has a greater chance of successful long-term relocation.
BIO-2 A qualified biologist shall be on site during initial ground disturbance activities of a construction area at the project site in order to identify and move out of harms way any wildlife of low mobility. The services of the biologist will no longer be needed once the ground surface is cleared and the potential habitat of wildlife is removed from the development area.
The project developer shall
contract with a qualified
biologist to monitor the site
during initial ground
disturbance activities of a
construction area. The
biologist shall be on site in
order to identify and move
