Califonia melic (Melica californica)
Locally native wildflower seeds can be included in the seed mix.
WRA
2.2.20 Erosion Control Methods Erosion protection is required in areas where vegetation cannot be expected to re-establish.
Erosion protection can't include plastic monofilament netting or similar material.
Erosion protection can include coconut coir matting, straw/coconut fiber erosion blankets, straw wattles, or tackified hydroseeding compounds. Erosion control must blend with the natural contours of the stream bank. Erosion control measures must be monitored during and after each storm event, and modifications, repairs, and improvements shall be made whenever they are needed.
Contractor
2.2.21 Erosion Control Installation
Time Period
All erosion control plantings, seeding, and materials must be installed as soon as possible after Project activities in those areas cease. Seeding placed after October 15 must be covered with broadcast straw, jute netting, coconut fiber blanket, or similar erosion control blanket.
WRA
2.2.22 Bank Stabilization Permittee must conduct a feasibility study to determine appropriate methods to remediate the bank erosion. This may include partial or full removal of the sacked concrete wall. Feasibility study report is due to CDFW for review and comment within 6 months of execution of this Agreement and a final report is due within 1 year of execution of this Agreement.
WRA
2.2.23 Invasive Plant Removal and
Revegetation
Remove invasive vegetation from the City of Cupertino property along the western bank of Regnart Creek between the culvert crossings immediately north and south of the Project site.
Revegetate all areas of bare soil with native plants (see Measure 2.2.19) WRA
2.2.24 CDFW-Approved Qualified
Biologist(s) and Biological
Monitor(s)
Permittee must submit the names and resumes of all biologists and biological monitors involved in conducting survey and/or monitoring work at least 30 days prior to initiating fish and wildlife surveys.
WRA
2.2.25 Training Session for Personnel The qualified biologist must conduct an education program for all persons employed on the Project prior to performing work activities. Interpretion services must be provided for non- English speaking workers. Copies of the Agreement must be maintained at the work site with the Project supervisor. Employees must sign an affidavit stating they completed the training and understand all protection measures.
WRA
2.2.26 Pre-Construction Fish and
Wildlife Surveys
The qualified biologist must conduct pre-construction surveys for the presence of special-status fish and wildlife species within 48 hours prior to each phase of construction work within the Project area.
If state or federally listed species are found, the qualified biologist must contact CDFW and USFWS or NMFS and all work must cease until guidance or approval is received. Kristin Garrison or the CDFW Bay Delta Region office must be notified within four hours if any state-listed species are found.
WRA
2.2.27 Special-Status Species
Monitoring During Work
Construction personnel shall monitor for special-status species during Project activities. If found, work will stop and the on-call qualified biologist will be contacted. CDFW will be notified for guidance.
If there is imminent danger of special-status species from Project activities, the qualified biologist must relocate the individual(s) a minimum of 250 ft away from construction activities if the individual(s) do not move out of the work area on their own. CDFW must be notified prior to relocation.
Contractor + WRA
2.2.28 Special-Status Species
Encountered During Work
In addition to Measure 2.2.27 above, CESA and/or ESA listed species may only be relocated by a biologist with the necessary permits issued by CDFW, USFWS, and/or NMFS. CDFW must be notified within 24 hours of relocation activities.
WRA
2.2.29 San Francisco Dusky-Footed
Woodrat
Prior to the beginning of construction activities, a biological monitor will conduct surveys for SFDWR.

If an identified nest can't be avoided within the buffer, the Permittee is required to develop and implement a SFDWR relocation plan. The plan shall be submitted to CDFW 30 days prior to commencement of activities that will take place within the 50-foot buffer.
WRA
