identifies an ultimate systemwide PWWF of approximately 100.1 MGD at full buildout. This PWWF value represents a collection system planning condition and is distinct from regulated wastewater treatment throughput at the WWTRF.
The City has indicated that the Wastewater Collection System Master Plan is currently being updated by Stantec to reflect updated system conditions, development projections, and long range infrastructure planning. Until the updated master plan is adopted, the 2018 Master Plan remains the applicable planning document for project evaluation.
LiSWA’s treatment capacity planning does not assume immediate construction of ultimate facility capacity. Rather, LiSWA has evaluated future wastewater demands using multiple modeled expansion scenarios (six scenarios) that reflect varying growth rates, timing assumptions, and development patterns. This scenario based approach allows treatment capacity expansions to be phased over time as demand materializes.
Consistent with this framework, LiSWA is currently advancing Phase 1 treatment facility improvements and has documented a phased expansion strategy that enables additional treatment capacity to be implemented incrementally and funded through future connection fees, treatment charges, and financing mechanisms, rather than speculative upfront construction.
Incremental Wastwater Flow Generation Analysis
The proposed modification to the Village 7 Specific Plan would increase the total residential unit count from 3,285 units to 3,788 units, resulting in an incremental increase of 503 dwelling units. To evaluate whether this change would result in new or more severe wastewater impacts, the incremental wastewater flow generated by the additional residential units was quantified using the same planning assumptions applied in the City of Lincoln Wastewater Collection System Master Plan.
Table 3-7 of the Wastewater Collection System Master Plan identifies a residential wastewater generation rate of 250 gallons per day per Equivalent Dwelling Unit (gpd/EDU) for average dry weather flow planning purposes. For residential development with Land Use Designations of RR to HDR, one dwelling unit is assumed to be equivalent to one EDU. This unit flow factor represents a conservative planning assumption used to assess wastewater collection and treatment system loading and was applied in the prior evaluation of Village 7 buildout conditions.
Using this planning factor, the incremental average daily wastewater flow (ADWF) associated with the proposed increase in residential units is calculated as follows:
• Additional dwelling units: 503 units (503 EDUs)
• Average daily wastewater generation factor: 250 gpd per EDU • Incremental average daily flow:
503 EDUs × 250 gpd/EDU = 125,750 gallons per day, or approximately 0.13 million gallons per day (MGD)
For consistency with the prior adopted analysis, wastewater collection system impacts were evaluated under peak wet weather flow (PWWF) conditions using the same peaking factor of 2.3 that was applied to Villages 1 and 7 in the Wastewater Collection System Master Plan. This peaking factor accounts for diurnal flow variability and system response during peak conditions and was used in the Master Plan to evaluate trunk sewer conveyance capacity.
Based on application of this peaking factor, the incremental peak wastewater flow associated with the proposed unit increase is calculated as follows:
• Incremental average daily flow: 0.13 MGD
• Peaking factor: 2.3
Attachment 7 Exhibit A
1394
MEMORANDUM
Wastewater Capacity
Liberty at Lincoln – Village 7 SP
• Incremental Peak flow:
0.13 MGD × 2.3 = approximately 0.30 MGD
Because the regional trunk sewer facilities downstream of Village 7, including the Moore Road 66 inch trunk sewer, were modeled under full buildout peak wet weather flow conditions and are shown to retain greater than 15 MGD of residual capacity under Scenario 6, the incremental peak flow associated with the proposed unit count increase would not affect trunk sewer conveyance capacity or system level of service.
Accordingly, even when evaluated using conservative average and peak flow planning assumptions consistent with the prior approved Master Plan, the proposed increase in residential units would result in a minor and incremental increase in wastewater flows and would not result in new or more severe impacts to the wastewater collection system beyond those previously analyzed.
Conclusion
Based on review of the City of Lincoln Wastewater Collection System Master Plan, applicable wastewater treatment capacity information, and application of the same flow generation and peaking assumptions used in the prior adopted analysis, the proposed modification to the Village 7 Specific Plan would not result in more severe wastewater impacts to the existing infrastructure.
Incremental wastewater flows associated with the proposed increase of 503 residential units were evaluated using the residential planning factor identified in Table 3-7 of the Wastewater Collection System Master Plan and the same peaking factor applied in the prior evaluation of Village 7. The resulting incremental average and peak wastewater flows represent a small increase relative to the collection and treatment system capacity that was previously evaluated under full buildout conditions.
As documented in Appendix D of the Wastewater Collection System Master Plan, downstream regional trunk sewer facilities serving Village 7, including the Moore Road 66 inch regional interceptor, were evaluated under full General Plan buildout peak wet weather flow conditions (Scenario 6). The residual capacity analysis presented in the adopted exhibit indicates that the Moore Road 66 inch trunk sewer retains greater than 15 million gallons per day (MGD) of available conveyance capacity under ultimate buildout conditions and is not identified as capacity constrained based on the City’s adopted Level of Service (LOS) criteria. Accordingly, the incremental flow increase associated with the proposed modification does not change the modeled LOS determination for the regional trunk sewer system.
In addition, wastewater treatment capacity at the City’s Wastewater Treatment and Reclamation Facility is managed under a phased expansion framework implemented by the Lincoln Sewer Maintenance District No. 1 Wastewater Authority (LiSWA), which is intended to accommodate regional growth over time through incremental facility improvements.
Therefore, the proposed increase in residential units would remain within the wastewater collection and treatment capacity assumptions previously analyzed and would not require new or additional offsite wastewater infrastructure improvements beyond those already identified in adopted planning documents. As a result, the proposed modification would not result in more severe wastewater impacts beyond those previously analyzed.

Updated Mitigation Monitoring Plan
Introduction
This document provides the updated Mitigation Monitoring Program (MMP) for the Village 7 Specific Plan Project EIR, pursuant to Section 21080.6 of the California Public Resources Code, which requires public agencies to “adopt a reporting and monitoring program for the changes to the project which it has adopted or made a condition of project approval in order to mitigate or avoid significant effects on the environment.” A MMP is required for the Proposed Project because the EIR has identified significant adverse impacts, and mitigation measures have been identified to mitigate those impacts.
The purpose of a MMP is to:
• ensure that mitigation measures are implemented;
• provide feedback to agency staff and decision makers about the effectiveness of the mitigation measures;
• provide learning opportunities for improving mitigation measures on future projects; and • identify the need for enforcement action before irreversible environmental damage occurs.
The Proposed Project would be subject to all applicable mitigation measures identified in the EIR, including mitigation measures identified in the Initial Study (Appendix A in the Draft EIR), as well as mitigation measures identified in addendums to the EIR.
Table 1 presents the mitigation measures for the Lewis Property portion of the Proposed Project.
Mitigation measures for the Village 7 Programmatic Portion are listed in Table 2.
The numbering of the individual mitigation measures follows the numbering sequence as found in the EIR and addendums to the EIR. Adoption of the MMP shall occur prior to, or concurrently with, adoption of the Proposed Project for which the program has been developed.
Contents of the MMP
The Components of the updated MMP are addressed briefly below. The MMP as updated in the Lincoln Village 7B Project Addendum includes changes to the previous MMP as published in the Final EIR and as amended in 2024. New text as a result of the Village 7B Addendum is indicated in double underline and text to be deleted is reflected by a strike through.

• Participate in the City’s Proposed Phase 2 Regional Retention Basin:
Phase 1 of the City’s Regional Retention Basin project was constructed to accommodate up to 315 acre-feet from the Del Webb development.
Additional phased expansions (Phases 2 and 3) are planned to accommodate up to approximately 800 acre-feet of additional retention volume. The Village 7 Programmatic Portion could participate in the construction of Phase 2 of the existing City of Lincoln retention basin to mitigate the Proposed Project’s runoff volumes.
• Utilize excess capacity in the City’s Proposed Phase 1 Regional Retention Basin: Phase 1 of the City’s Regional Retention Basin project has a 315 acre-foot retention storage capacity and was constructed by Del Webb to mitigate their project impacts. Based on the SLMDP, the retention volume required to mitigate impacts for the Del Webb project totaled 286 acre-feet. The Phase 1 basin therefore has approximately 29 acre-feet of available storage that could be used by the Village 7 Programmatic Portion. This mitigation option would not entirely reduce the retention volume required for the Village 7 Programmatic Portion, but could be combined with one or more of the other options presented herein.
• Create a New Retention Basin: The project applicant could participate in the City’s future retention basin within the Cross Canal watershed.
OR
• Create a new on-site retention basin within the Village 7 Programmatic Portion.

The provisions contained herein only apply if Crotch’s bumble bee remains a candidate species or is listed under CESA at the commencement of construction.
Following CDFW’s status report on Crotch’s bumble bee, if the California Fish and Game Commission finds that the petitioned action is not warranted, the provisions contained herein shall not be required.
Initial ground-disturbing activities associated with development of any future Tentative Map (e.g., grading, vegetation removal, staging) should take place between September 1 and March 31 (i.e., outside the colony active period) to avoid potential impacts on special-status bumble bees. If initial ground-disturbing activities do not occur between September 1 and March 31, then at a maximum of 14 days prior to the commencement of construction activities, a qualified biologist shall conduct a preconstruction survey for Crotch’s bumble bees in the area(s) proposed for impact.
The survey shall occur during the period from one hour after sunrise to two hours before sunset, with temperatures between 65 degrees Fahrenheit and 90 degrees Fahrenheit, with low wind and zero rain. If the timing of the start of construction makes the survey infeasible due to the temperature requirements, the surveying biologist shall select the most appropriate days based on the National Weather Service seven-day forecast and shall survey at a time of day that is closest to the temperature range stated above.

The survey duration shall be commensurate with the physical extent of suitable floral resources (which represent foraging habitat) present within the area proposed for impact, and the level of effort shall be based on the metric of a minimum of one person-hour of searching per three acres of suitable floral resources/foraging habitat. A meandering pedestrian survey shall be conducted throughout the area proposed for impact in order to identify patches of suitable floral resources. Suitable floral resources for Crotch’s bumble bee include species in the following families: Apocynaceae, Asteraceae, Boraginaceae, Fabaceae, and Lamiaceae.
At a minimum, preconstruction survey methods shall include the following:
• Search areas with floral resources for foraging bumble bees. Observed foraging activity may indicate a nest is nearby, and therefore, the survey duration shall be increased when foraging bumble bees are present; • If Crotch’s bumble bees are observed, watch any Crotch’s bumble bees present and observe their flight patterns. Attempt to track their movements between foraging areas and the nest;
• Visually look for nest entrances. Observe burrows, any other underground cavities, logs, or other possible nesting habitat; • If floral resources or other vegetation preclude observance of the nest, small areas of vegetation may be removed via hand removal, line trimming, or mowing to a height of a minimum of four inches to assist with locating the nest;
• Look for concentrated Crotch’s bumble bee activity;
• Listen for the humming of a nest colony; and
• If bumble bees are observed, attempt to photograph the individual and identify it to species.
The biologist conducting the survey shall record when the survey was conducted, a general description of any suitable foraging habitat/floral resources present, a description of observed bumble bee activity, a list of bumble bee species observed, a description of any vegetation removed to facilitate the survey, and their determination of if survey observations suggest a Crotch’s bumble bee nest(s) may be present or if construction activities could result in take of Crotch’s bumble bees.

If bumble bees are not located during the preconstruction survey or the bumble bees located are definitively identified as a common species (i.e., not special-status species), then further mitigation or coordination with the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) is not required.
If any sign(s) of a bumble bee nest is observed, and if the species present cannot be established as a common bumble bee, then construction shall not commence until either (1) the bumble bees present are positively identified as common (i.e., not a special-status species), or (2) the completion of coordination with CDFW to identify appropriate mitigation measures, which may include, but not be limited to, waiting until the colony active season ends, establishment of nest buffers, or obtaining an Incidental Take Permit (ITP) from CDFW.
If Crotch’s bumble bees are located, and, after coordination with CDFW, take of Crotch’s bumble bees cannot be avoided, the Project applicant shall obtain an ITP from CDFW, and the applicant shall implement all conditions identified in the ITP.
Consistent with Fish and Game Code Section 2081, mitigation required by any ITP obtained from CDFW shall minimize and fully mitigate any impacts of the authorized take, be roughly proportional in extent to the impact of the take, be capable of successful implementation, and, where various alternative measures are available, maintain the applicant's objectives to the greatest extent possible.
Specific required permit conditions may include, but are not limited to, the Project applicant’s qualified biologist translocating nesting substrate in accordance with the latest scientific research to another suitable location (i.e., a location that supports similar or better floral resources as the impact area), enhancing floral resources on areas of the site that will remain appropriate habitat, worker awareness training, and/or other measures specified by CDFW.

Biological Resources Mitigation Measure 2
Prior to the commencement of construction activities, a qualified biologist shall conduct a bat habitat assessment of all potential roosting habitat features, including trees and structures within the proposed impact footprint within the project vicinity.
The habitat assessment shall identify all potentially suitable roosting habitat and may be conducted up to one year prior to the start of construction. The results of the assessment shall be submitted to the City of Lincoln Community Development Department.
• If potential roosting habitat is identified (cavities in trees or potential roosts within structures) within the areas proposed for impact, the biologist shall survey the potential roosting habitat during the active season (generally April through October or from January through March on days with temperatures in excess of 50 degrees Fahrenheit) to determine the presence of roosting bats. The surveys are recommended to be conducted utilizing methods that are considered acceptable by bat experts after consultation with CDFW. Methods may include evening emergence surveys, acoustic surveys, inspecting potential roosting habitat with fiberoptic cameras, or a combination thereof.
• If roosting bats are identified within any of the trees planned for removal, or if presence is assumed, the trees shall be removed outside of pup season, only on days with temperatures in excess of 50 degrees Fahrenheit. Pup season is generally during the months of May through August. Two-step tree removal shall be utilized under the supervision of the qualified biologist. Two-step tree removal involves removal of all branches of the tree that do not provide roosting habitat on the first day, and then the next day cutting down the remaining portion of the tree.

Mitigation Monitoring Plan
Introduction
Section 15097 of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines requires public agencies to establish monitoring or reporting programs for projects approved by a public agency whenever approval involves the adoption of either a mitigated negative declaration or specified environmental findings related to environmental impact reports.
The following is the updated Mitigation Monitoring Plan (MMP) for the Village 5 Specific Plan.
The intent of the MMP is to prescribe and enforce a means for properly and successfully implementing the mitigation measures identified within the Draft Partially Recirculated Environmental Impact Report (DPREIR) and the Village 5 & Special Use District b (SUD-B) Specific Plan EIR (2017 EIR) and updated in the Draft Partially Recirculated EIR (DPREIR) for this project.
Mitigation Measures
The mitigation measures are taken from the 2017 EIR and DPREIR and are assigned the same number as in the 2017 EIR and updated in the DPREIR. The MMP describes the actions that must take place to implement each mitigation measure, the timing of those actions, and the entities responsible for implementing and monitoring the actions.
MMP Components
The components of the attached table, which contains applicable mitigation measures, are addressed briefly, below.
Impact
This column summarizes the impact stated in the 2017 EIR, or as updated and stated DPREIR.
Mitigation Measure
All mitigation measures that were identified in the 2017 EIR are presented, as revised in the DPREIR and updated in the Final EIR, and numbered accordingly.

1464
4. Mitigation Monitoring Plan
Village 5 & Special Use District b (SUD-B) Specific Plan 4-2 ESA / 130368 Final Partially Recirculated Environmental Impact Report August 2021 Action(s)
For every mitigation measure, one or more actions are described. The actions delineate the means by which the mitigation measures will be implemented, and, in some instances, the criteria for determining whether a measure has been successfully implemented. Where mitigation measures are particularly detailed, the action may refer back to the measure.
Component
This column identifies the relevant component of the proposed projects to which the mitigation measure applies. The mitigation measure may apply to the Full Specific Plan, Area A, or Windsor Cove. More than one project component may be identified.
Implementing Party
This item identifies the entity that will undertake the required action.
Timing
Implementation of the action must occur prior to or during some part of project approval, project design or construction or on an ongoing basis. The timing for each measure is identified.
Monitoring Party
The City of Lincoln is primarily responsible for ensuring that mitigation measures are successfully implemented. Within the City, a number of departments and divisions would have responsibility for monitoring some aspect of the overall project. Other agencies, such as the Placer County Air Quality Management District, may also be responsible for monitoring the implementation of mitigation measures. As a result, more than one monitoring party may be identified.

3.1-4:
During the design review process, the applicant shall adhere to the following measures to reduce impacts from light and glare:
a) All light standards shall be shielded and directed downward so that light shall not emit higher than a horizontal level.
b) Reflective surfaces of multi-story buildings facing streets, open spaces, parks, and residential neighborhoods shall be oriented to avoid generating glare that could create a nuisance or safety hazard.
c) For parks or other facilities anticipated to include nighttime activities, the site and placement of overhead lighting shall be designed to minimize exposure of adjacent properties to spillover light and minimize the amount of light that would be visible above the horizontal plane of the light fixture.
d) Normal operating hours for lighting related to nighttime recreational activities shall be until 10:00 p.m. Sunday through Thursday, and on Friday and Saturday until 11:00 p.m. to reduce the disruption to adjacent properties. Special events that would require lighting beyond normal operating hours would be subject to a permit to be issued by the City.

b) If the PCCP is not in operation or the County and City processes for designating project impacts as covered under the PCCP have not been established, the following mitigation measures shall apply:
1) The project applicant for each project phase shall retain a qualified biologist to delineate all wetlands and waters of the U.S. or other protected waters within the proposed development. The delineation(s) shall be submitted to the USACE for verification as part of the formal Section 404 wetland delineation process. If no wetlands are determined to be present, or if wetlands would be avoided, no further mitigation would be required. Prior to fill of any wetlands, or hydrologic interruption of the wetland, the applicant must obtain a Section 404 permit and obtain Section 401 certification from the Central Valley Regional Water Quality Control Board.
2) For each 1.0 wetted acre of vernal pools impacted, 1.35 acres of vernal pools shall be preserved. For purposes of calculating impact and mitigation requirements, seasonal depressional wetlands shall be considered vernal pools.
For each 1.0 acres of impact of any other wetland type, the preservation requirement may be met by preserving 1.35 acres of any wetland type without regard for in-kind mitigation. The preservation requirement for open water may be met through preservation of 1.0 acres of open water or any wetland type for each1.0 acres of impact. The total amount of required wetland preservation under this strategy will be automatically reduced by any and all wetland preservation required by any permitting agency.

The compensatory requirement for open-water may be met through restoration, enhancement, and/or creation of 1.25 acres of open water or any wetland type for each 1.0 acres of impact. The total amount of required compensatory wetland restoration, enhancement, or creation under this measure will be automatically reduced by any and all wetland restoration, enhancement, and creation required by any permitting agency as well as any wetland preservation required by a permitting agency greater than the wetland preservation amount required by this mitigation.
The compensatory requirement shall not be reduced below 1.0 by excess preservation.
Approximately 715 acres of land within the PCCP Reserve Acquisition Area that would serve as suitable mitigation land for impacts on habitat within Area A have been identified and acquired by the applicant. All mitigation lands would be located within the Upper Coon-Upper Auburn watershed north of Auburn Ravine.
Soil types at these mitigation lands would consist primarily of San JoaquinCometa sandy loams soils, with some occasionally flooded Xerofluvents soils, frequently flooded Xerofluvents soils, Cometa sandy loam soils, and CometaFiddyment complex soils. Some of these soils have impervious soil layers and support vernal pool complexes or could be restored to vernal pool or seasonal swale habitats. If the entire mitigation area is not needed for mitigation of Area A impacts, impacts to vernal pool habitats and species within other areas could be mitigated on these lands.
The mitigation lands are currently used as mostly grassland/pasture and fallow/ idle cropland, with some areas used to grow winter wheat, hay/non-alfalfa, and other crops. The mitigation lands are largely surrounded by fallow/idle cropland, rice fields, hay/non-alfalfa fields, and active cropland used for growing clover/wildflowers, rye, corn, and other rotational crops. Management of the mitigation lands could be modified to provide greater benefit to special-status plant and wildlife species.
3) Wetland preservation, restoration, enhancement and creation shall be accompanied by the associated uplands and hydrology necessary to sustain long-term viability in a natural or restored environmental setting. 4) It is anticipated that most wetland preservation, restoration, enhancement and creation may be accomplished on land conserved to meet the land cover mitigation requirement and will be subject to the required conservation easements and management plans. If additional lands are conserved to meet the wetland mitigation requirement, the same requirements for conservation easements and management plans shall apply.
5) Project applicants may use credits from approved conservation or mitigation banks to meet all or a part of the wetland mitigation required by this strategy. 6) The density of wetlands on land conserved to meet the land cover mitigation requirement in some projects within the V5SP may provide wetland mitigation in excess of the acreage required by this strategy. Excess mitigation may be freely assigned by private agreement between projects within the City of Lincoln and Lincoln Sphere of Influence. Such assignment shall be documented and tracked by the City. Project applicants may apply excess mitigation assigned from other projects in the Plan Area to meet all or a part of the wetland mitigation required by this measure provided proof of assignment can be demonstrated to the satisfaction of the City.
7) The City may allow mitigation located outside of Placer County that advances the City’s conservation goals and meets the biological intent of this mitigation strategy. In addition, the City may accept credits from out-of-county conservation or mitigation banks towards full or partial compliance with this strategy if the project is within the agency-approved service area for the credits.

8) Prior to any construction activities that could impact protected waters, a protective fence shall be erected around the boundaries of avoided wetlands, including a protective buffer as dictated in the 401, 404, or 1600 permits as described in section 9) below. This fence shall remain in place until all construction activity in the immediate area is completed. No activity shall be permitted within the protected areas except for those expressly permitted by the USACE and/or CDFW.
9) A construction buffer shall be provided along all avoided wetlands in accordance with the Section 404 permit, and Section 401 Water Quality Certification. Only those uses allowed in the Section 404 permit and Section 401 Water Quality Certification and/or the Streambed Alteration Agreements shall be permitted in the wetlands preserve and its buffer.
10) Water quality in the avoided wetlands shall be protected during construction in the watershed by using erosion control techniques including (as appropriate), but not necessarily limited to, preservation of existing vegetation, mulches (e.g., hydraulic, straw, wood), and geotextiles and mats. Additionally, urban runoff shall be managed to protect water quality in the wetlands preserve using techniques such as velocity dissipation devices, sediment basins and pollution collection devices.

b) If the PCCP is not in operation or the County and City processes for designating project impacts as covered under the PCCP have not been established, the following mitigation measures shall apply:
1) The project applicant shall obtain a Biological Opinion and any applicable incidental take authorization from USFWS and comply with the conditions and requirements therein.
2) The project applicant shall prepare and submit to the City, a Project-Level Open Space, Agricultural Land and Biological Resources Mitigation Plan that implements the open space, agricultural land and biological resources strategy and includes the following elements:
i. Identification and quantification of land cover and wetland removal and applicable mitigation requirements set forth below in subsection (5). ii. Identification and quantification of proposed mitigation lands and/or resources with sufficient detail to allow for City evaluation, including plans for restoration, enhancement and/or creation of wetlands.
iii. Identification of any conservation or mitigation bank credits or assignment of excess mitigation from other projects in the V5SP.
iv. Draft conservation easements and draft management and monitoring plans, if applicable.
v. An endowment for long-term management of the proposed mitigation lands. 3) Any Project-Level Open Space, Agricultural Land and Biological Resource Mitigation Plan must be approved by the City, in its sole discretion, at the time of the approval of any improvement plans for subdivision improvements or off-site infrastructure, recordation of a final map (not including a large lot final map that results in no disturbance of any existing natural condition), or issuance of any project-level discretionary approval for non-residential land uses that does not require a tentative subdivision map. A Project-Level Open Space, Agricultural Land and Biological Resource Mitigation Plan may cover a development project or group of projects and must include any required off-site infrastructure unless covered by a separate project-level mitigation plan for that infrastructure improvement. The City may require the applicant to provide a conceptual plan for the Project-Level Open Space, Agricultural Land and Biological Resources Mitigation Plan that includes a calculation of acres of impact and acres of required mitigation prior to approval of a General Development Program or tentative map. A tentative map may have more than one Project-Level Open Space, Agricultural Land and Biological Resource Mitigation Plan if the development authorized by the map is owned by separate owners.

Impact Mitigation Measure Action(s) Component Implementing Party Timing Monitoring Party 4) Each project (including off-site infrastructure) must demonstrate compliance with an approved Open Space, Agricultural Land and Biological Resources Mitigation Plan prior to approval of a grading permit that results in land cover or wetland impact. Such compliance may be phased with the actual development of the project. Demonstration of compliance shall include:
i. Demonstrate recordation of required easements for land conservation. ii. Demonstrate ownership of applicable credits and/or assignment of any applicable excess mitigation from other projects in the V5SP. iii. Demonstrate implementation of an endowment for the management of all mitigation lands.
iv. Demonstrate approval of construction and monitoring plans for any required restoration, enhancement, or creation of wetlands. Provide proof of executed contracts and initiation of construction.
v. Documentation and approval of any mitigation credits eligible for future use or assignment.
5) An Open Space, Agricultural Land and Biological Resources Mitigation Plan shall require that for every 1.0 acres of land cover impacted, 1.35 acres of land will be conserved in perpetuity. The impact area shall be calculated to the nearest onetenth (0.10) acre. The total amount of required acreage will be automatically reduced by any and all off-site conservation or mitigation land required by any permitting agency, specifically including upland areas required in association with wetland mitigation, whether acquired through mitigation bank credits or other means. The mitigation land to be conserved may be located in the Reserve Acquisition Areas, or elsewhere as determined by the City and regulatory agencies. No additional land mitigation will be required beyond the 1.35 to 1.0 requirement for the removal of land cover.
6) To determine the acreage of land cover impact, all land within the V5SP shall be considered to be “land cover,” except for land that is already developed with infrastructure, such as roadways, and homes and related development such as accessory structures, driveways, improved roadways, and landscaped areas.
Any land cover that will be maintained in or restored to a natural or semi-natural condition as required by the City and/or any state or federal permitting agency shall not be included in the land cover impacted acreage. Any wetland area required to be avoided, restored, and/or enhanced on site by the City and/or any permitting agency shall be automatically excluded from the removal calculation. 7) Land conserved under this measure shall, to the extent feasible, as determined by the City, be located within the Reserve Acquisition Area, but may be included in other areas deemed adequate by the regulatory agencies. Impacts to annual grassland, vernal pool grassland, and pasture lands cover shall be mitigated on existing or restorable grassland. All other land cover impacts may be mitigated on any natural or semi-natural land within the Reserve Acquisition Areas, specifically including agricultural land. Vernal pool grassland will be mitigated by any grassland without regard to wetted area density.
8) Conservation sites shall be subject to recorded conservation easements and management plans with an identified funding source for long-term management of conserved lands. The conservation easements and management plans are subject to approval by the City and shall provide for the long-term maintenance of biological functions and values while, whenever feasible, also providing for compatible agricultural use. The City shall accept as satisfactory mitigation any conservation easement and/or management plan required and approved by the terms and conditions of any permit issued by a state or federal resource agency. 9) Project applicants may use credits from approved conservation or mitigation banks to meet all or a part of the conservation required by this strategy.
Specifically, the uplands associated with any bank wetland preservation, restoration, enhancement or creation may be applied towards the land cover mitigation requirement provided that the uplands are subject to an appropriate conservation easement and the applicant can demonstrate that the approved mitigation credits include both wetland and upland land cover to the satisfaction of the City. Mitigation and conservation banks must be approved by the USFWS, USACE, or the CDFW. Credits can count toward mitigation obligations if the banks are consistent with the requirements of state and federal natural resources agencies, as accepted by the City.

Impact Mitigation Measure Action(s) Component Implementing Party Timing Monitoring Party 10) It is anticipated that, depending on the availability and relative parcel size of potential conservation sites, some projects within the V5SP may provide land cover mitigation in excess of the acreage required by this strategy. Excess mitigation may be freely assigned by private agreement between projects within the City of Lincoln and the Lincoln Sphere of Influence. Such assignment will be documented and tracked by the City. Project applicants may apply excess mitigation assigned from other projects in the V5SP to meet all or a part of the land cover mitigation required by this measure provided proof of assignment can be provided to the satisfaction of the City.
11) Because of their particular regulatory status and their biological importance, wetlands shall be accounted for separately through mitigation ratios requiring preservation and or restoration of a set amount of wetted area calculated as a proportion of wetland impact as set forth in Mitigation Measure 3.4-1. These wetted acres, along with any upland area that is conserved in association with the wetted acres, will be fully credited towards the required land cover mitigation.
It is intended that all of the wetland mitigation shall be counted towards land cover mitigation requirements. Likewise, all wetted acres contained within land cover mitigation shall be counted towards wetland mitigation.
3.2-1(b):
Concurrent with development of Area A, the project applicant shall preserve mitigation lands at ratios identified in Mitigation Measures 3.4-1(b) and 3.4-2. The preserved land should be of similar agricultural productivity, soil classifications, and farmland type (Prime Farmland, Farmland of Statewide Importance, and Unique Farmland) as the land proposed for development in Area A. Conservation Easements for agricultural and biological resources may be stacked, meaning that areas preserved to mitigate for biological resources can may also serve as mitigation for agricultural impacts.

The applicant(s) shall implement the following mitigation measures for each phase of development in the time frames provided:
a) Prior to approval of grading or improvement plans, (whichever occurs first), on project sites greater than one acre, the applicant shall submit a Construction Emission/Dust Control Plan to the Placer County Air Pollution Control District. The applicant shall provide written evidence to the City of Lincoln that the plan has been submitted to the District. It is the responsibility of the applicant to deliver the approved plan to the local jurisdiction. The applicant shall not break ground prior to receiving District approval of the Construction Emission/Dust Control Plan and delivering that approval to the City of Lincoln. The Construction Emission/Dust Control Plan shall include, but not be limited, to the following measures:
i. In order to control dust, an operational watering truck shall be on site during construction hours. In addition, dry chemical sweeping is prohibited. Watering at the construction site shall be carried out in the compliance with operating APCD rules and City of Lincoln requirements.
ii. Fugitive dust shall not exceed 40% opacity and not go beyond the project boundary at any time as required by District Rule 228 Fugitive Dust (Section 300). If lime or other drying agents are used to dry out wet grading areas, they shall be controlled so as to not exceed District Rule 228 Fugitive Dust limitations.
The prime contractor shall be responsible for having an individual, certified by CARB to perform Visible Emissions Evaluations (VEE), who shall routinely evaluate compliance to Rule 228, Fugitive Dust on a weekly basis. iii. The track-out of bulk material onto public paved roadways as a result of operations, or erosion, shall be minimized by the use of track-out and erosion control, minimization, and preventative measures. Specifically, the prime contractor shall apply water or use other methods to control dust track out so construction vehicles leaving the site shall reduce dust, silt, mud, and dirt from being released or tracked off-site. Also, the prime contractor “wet broom” the streets (or use another method to control dust as approved by the City) if silt, dirt, mud or debris is carried over to adjacent public thoroughfares within one hour from adjacent streets anytime such material track-out extends for a cumulative distance of greater than 50 feet onto any paved public road during active operations.

2) For each 1.0 wetted acre of vernal pools impacted, 1.35 acres of vernal pools shall be preserved. For purposes of calculating impact and mitigation requirements, seasonal depressional wetlands shall be considered vernal pools.
For each 1.0 acres of impact of any other wetland type, the preservation requirement may be met by preserving 1.35 acres of any wetland type without regard for in-kind mitigation. The preservation requirement for open water may be met through preservation of 1.0 acres of open water or any wetland type for each 1.0 acres of impact. The total amount of required wetland preservation under this strategy will be automatically reduced by any and all wetland preservation required by any permitting agency.
For each 1.0 acres of vernal pool impact, 1.25 acres of compensatory wetlands shall be restored, enhanced or created including a minimum of 0.75 acres of vernal pool and no more than 0.5 acres of other wetlands. For each 1.0 acres of impact of any other wetland type, the restoration, enhancement, or creation requirement may be met by restoring, enhancing, and/or creating 1.25 acres of any wetland type without regard for in-kind mitigation. The compensatory requirement for open-water may be met through restoration, enhancement, and/or creation of 1.25 acres of open water or any wetland type for each
1.0 acres of impact. The total amount of required compensatory wetland restoration, enhancement, or creation under this measure will be automatically reduced by any and all wetland restoration, enhancement, and creation required by any permitting agency as well as any wetland preservation required by a permitting agency greater than the wetland preservation amount required by this mitigation. The compensatory requirement shall not be reduced below 1.0 by excess preservation.
Approximately 715 acres of land within the PCCP Reserve Acquisition Area that would serve as suitable mitigation land for impacts on habitat within Area A have been identified and acquired by the applicant. All mitigation lands would be located within the Upper Coon-Upper Auburn watershed north of Auburn Ravine.
Soil types at these mitigation lands would consist primarily of San JoaquinCometa sandy loams soils, with some occasionally flooded Xerofluvents soils, frequently flooded Xerofluvents soils, Cometa sandy loam soils, and CometaFiddyment complex soils. Some of these soils have impervious soil layers and support vernal pool complexes or could be restored to vernal pool or seasonal swale habitats. If the entire mitigation area is not needed for mitigation of Area A impacts, impacts to vernal pool habitats and species within other areas could be mitigated on these lands.
The mitigation lands are currently used as mostly grassland/pasture and fallow/idle cropland, with some areas used to grow winter wheat, hay/non-alfalfa, and other crops. The mitigation lands are largely surrounded by fallow/idle cropland, rice fields, hay/non-alfalfa fields, and active cropland used for growing clover/wildflowers, rye, corn, and other rotational crops. Management of the mitigation lands could be modified to provide greater benefit to special-status plant and wildlife species.
3) Wetland preservation, restoration, enhancement and creation shall be accompanied by the associated uplands and hydrology necessary to sustain long-term viability in a natural or restored environmental setting. 4) It is anticipated that most wetland preservation, restoration, enhancement and creation may be accomplished on land conserved to meet the land cover mitigation requirement and will be subject to the required conservation easements and management plans. If additional lands are conserved to meet the wetland mitigation requirement, the same requirements for conservation easements and management plans shall apply.
5) Project applicants may use credits from approved conservation or mitigation banks to meet all or a part of the wetland mitigation required by this strategy. 6) The density of wetlands on land conserved to meet the land cover mitigation requirement in some projects within the V5SP may provide wetland mitigation in excess of the acreage required by this strategy. Excess mitigation may be freely assigned by private agreement between projects within the City of Lincoln and Lincoln Sphere of Influence. Such assignment shall be documented and tracked by the City.

In addition, the City may accept credits from out-of-county conservation or mitigation banks towards full or partial compliance with this strategy if the project is within the agency-approved service area for the credits.
Avoidance and Minimization Measures
8) Prior to any construction activities that could impact protected waters, a protective fence shall be erected around the boundaries of avoided wetlands, including a protective buffer as dictated in the 401, 404, or 1600 permits as described in section 9) below. This fence shall remain in place until all construction activity in the immediate area is completed. No activity shall be permitted within the protected areas except for those expressly permitted by the USACE and/or CDFW.
9) A construction buffer shall be provided along all avoided wetlands in accordance with the Section 404 permit, and Section 401 Water Quality Certification. Only those uses allowed in the Section 404 permit and Section 401 Water Quality Certification and/or the Streambed Alteration Agreements shall be permitted in the wetlands preserve and its buffer.
10) Water quality in the avoided wetlands shall be protected during construction in the watershed by using erosion control techniques including (as appropriate), but not necessarily limited to, preservation of existing vegetation, mulches (e.g., hydraulic, straw, wood), and geotextiles and mats. Additionally, urban runoff shall be managed to protect water quality in the wetlands preserve using techniques such as velocity dissipation devices, sediment basins and pollution collection devices.

a) The project applicant shall comply with the PCCP and that participation shall satisfy all of the mitigation requirements for this impact. Mitigation achieved through implementation of the PCCP shall be equal to or greater than the mitigation ratios and requirements described in subsection (b), below.
For species that are not directly covered by the PCCP, the project applicant shall implement the following avoidance and minimization measures:
1) The project applicant shall implement Mitigation Measure 3.4-6. 2) For the protection of American badger, the project applicant, for each project phase, shall retain a qualified biologist to conduct a preconstruction American badger den survey within the project site. The results of the survey shall be provided to the City of Lincoln. If dens or burrows determined to be potential American badger dens are found within the project site or off-site improvement areas during the preconstruction surveys, consultation with the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) shall occur prior to the initiation of any construction activities to determine an appropriate burrow excavation and/or relocation method. If American badger burrows are not found, further measures are not necessary. All survey results shall be submitted to the City of Lincoln prior to the initiation of any construction activities.

iv. Demonstrate approval of construction and monitoring plans for any required restoration, enhancement, or creation of wetlands. Provide proof of executed contracts and initiation of construction.
v. Documentation and approval of any mitigation credits eligible for future use or assignment.
5) An Open Space, Agricultural Land and Biological Resources Mitigation Plan shall require that for every 1.0 acres of land cover impacted, 1.35 acres of land will be conserved in perpetuity. The impact area shall be calculated to the nearest onetenth (0.10) acre. The total amount of required acreage will be automatically reduced by any and all off-site conservation or mitigation land required by any permitting agency, specifically including upland areas required in association with wetland mitigation, whether acquired through mitigation bank credits or other means. The mitigation land to be conserved may be located in the Reserve Acquisition Areas, or elsewhere as determined by the City and regulatory agencies. No additional land mitigation will be required beyond the 1.35 to 1.0 requirement for the removal of land cover.
6) To determine the acreage of land cover impact, all land within the V5SP shall be considered to be “land cover,” except for land that is already developed with infrastructure, such as roadways, and homes and related development such as accessory structures, driveways, improved roadways, and landscaped areas.
Any land cover that will be maintained in or restored to a natural or semi-natural condition as required by the City and/or any state or federal permitting agency shall not be included in the land cover impacted acreage. Any wetland area required to be avoided, restored, and/or enhanced on site by the City and/or any permitting agency shall be automatically excluded from the removal calculation. 7) Land conserved under this measure shall, to the extent feasible, as determined by the City, be located within the Reserve Acquisition Area, but may be included Attachment 7 Exhibit A

Impacts to annual grassland, vernal pool grassland, and pasture lands cover shall be mitigated on existing or restorable grassland. All other land cover impacts may be mitigated on any natural or semi-natural land within the Reserve Acquisition Areas, specifically including agricultural land. Vernal pool grassland will be mitigated by any grassland without regard to wetted area density.
8) Conservation sites shall be subject to recorded conservation easements and management plans with an identified funding source for long-term management of conserved lands. The conservation easements and management plans are subject to approval by the City and shall provide for the long-term maintenance of biological functions and values while, whenever feasible, also providing for compatible agricultural use. The City shall accept as satisfactory mitigation any conservation easement and/or management plan required and approved by the terms and conditions of any permit issued by a state or federal resource agency. 9) Project applicants may use credits from approved conservation or mitigation banks to meet all or a part of the conservation required by this strategy.
Specifically, the uplands associated with any bank wetland preservation, restoration, enhancement or creation may be applied towards the land cover mitigation requirement provided that the uplands are subject to an appropriate conservation easement and the applicant can demonstrate that the approved mitigation credits include both wetland and upland land cover to the satisfaction of the City. Mitigation and conservation banks must be approved by the USFWS, USACE, or the CDFW. Credits can count toward mitigation obligations if the banks are consistent with the requirements of state and federal natural resources agencies, as accepted by the City.
10) It is anticipated that, depending on the availability and relative parcel size of potential conservation sites, some projects within the V5SP may provide land cover mitigation in excess of the acreage required by this strategy. Excess mitigation may be freely assigned by private agreement between projects within the City of Lincoln and the Lincoln Sphere of Influence. Such assignment will be documented and tracked by the City. Project applicants may apply excess mitigation assigned from other projects in the V5SP to meet all or a part of the land cover mitigation required by this measure provided proof of assignment can be provided to the satisfaction of the City.
11) Because of their particular regulatory status and their biological importance, wetlands shall be accounted for separately through mitigation ratios requiring preservation and or restoration of a set amount of wetted area calculated as a proportion of wetland impact as set forth in Mitigation Measure 3.4-1. These wetted acres, along with any upland area that is conserved in association with the wetted acres, will be fully credited towards the required land cover mitigation.
It is intended that all of the wetland mitigation shall be counted towards land cover mitigation requirements. Likewise, all wetted acres contained within land cover mitigation shall be counted towards wetland mitigation.3.2-1(b) (Area A) Mitigation Measure Biological Resources 1:

The survey duration shall be commensurate with the physical extent of suitable floral resources (which represent foraging habitat) present within the area proposed for impact, and the level of effort shall be based on the metric of a minimum of one person-hour of searching per three acres of suitable floral resources/foraging habitat. A meandering pedestrian survey shall be conducted throughout the area proposed for impact in order to identify patches of suitable floral resources.
Suitable floral resources for Crotch’s bumble bee include species in the following families: Apocynaceae, Asteraceae, Boraginaceae, Fabaceae, and Lamiaceae.
Suitable floral resources for western bumble bee include species in the following families: Asteraceae, Fabaceae, Rhamnaceae, and Rosaceae, as well as plants in the genera Eriogonum and Penstemon.
At a minimum, preconstruction survey methods shall include the following:
• Search areas with floral resources for foraging bumble bees. Observed foraging activity may indicate a nest is nearby, and therefore, the survey duration shall be increased when foraging bumble bees are present; • If Crotch’s bumble bees are observed, watch any Crotch’s bumble bees present and observe their flight patterns. Attempt to track their movements between foraging areas and the nest;
• Visually look for nest entrances. Observe burrows, any other underground cavities, logs, or other possible nesting habitat;
• If floral resources or other vegetation preclude observance of the nest, small areas of vegetation may be removed via hand removal, line trimming, or mowing to a height of a minimum of four inches to assist with locating the nest; • Look for concentrated Crotch’s bumble bee activity;
• Listen for the humming of a nest colony; and
• If bumble bees are observed, attempt to photograph the individual and identify it to species.
The biologist conducting the survey shall record when the survey was conducted, a general description of any suitable foraging habitat/floral resources present, a description of observed bumble bee activity, a list of bumble bee species observed, a description of any vegetation removed to facilitate the survey, and their determination of if survey observations suggest a Crotch’s bumble bee nest(s) may be present or if construction activities could result in take of Crotch’s bumble bees. The report shall be submitted to the City of Lincoln Community Development Department prior to the commencement of construction activities.
If bumble bees are not located during the preconstruction survey or the bumble bees located are definitively identified as a common species (i.e., not specialstatus species), then further mitigation or coordination with the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) is not required.
If any sign(s) of a bumble bee nest is observed, and if the species present cannot be established as a common bumble bee, then construction shall not commence until either (1) the bumble bees present are positively identified as common (i.e., not a special-status species), or (2) the completion of coordination with CDFW to identify appropriate mitigation measures, which may include, but not be limited to, waiting until the colony active season ends, establishment of nest buffers, or obtaining an Incidental Take Permit (ITP) from CDFW.
If Crotch’s bumble bees are located, and, after coordination with CDFW, take of Crotch’s bumble bees cannot be avoided, the Project applicant shall obtain an ITP from CDFW, and the applicant shall implement all conditions identified in the ITP.
Consistent with Fish and Game Code Section 2081, mitigation required by any ITP obtained from CDFW shall minimize and fully mitigate any impacts of the authorized take, be roughly proportional in extent to the impact of the take, be capable of successful implementation, and, where various alternative measures are available, maintain the applicant's objectives to the greatest extent possible.

Prior to the commencement of construction activities, a qualified biologist shall conduct a bat habitat assessment of all potential roosting habitat features, including trees and structures within the proposed impact footprint within the project vicinity. The habitat assessment shall identify all potentially suitable roosting habitat and may be conducted up to one year prior to the start of construction. The results of the assessment shall be submitted to the City of Lincoln Community Development Department.
• If potential roosting habitat is identified (cavities in trees or potential roosts within structures) within the areas proposed for impact, the biologist shall survey the potential roosting habitat during the active season (generally April through October or from January through March on days with temperatures in excess of 50 degrees Fahrenheit) to determine the presence of roosting bats.
The surveys are recommended to be conducted utilizing methods that are considered acceptable by bat experts after consultation with CDFW. Methods may include evening emergence surveys, acoustic surveys, inspecting potential roosting habitat with fiberoptic cameras, or a combination thereof. • If roosting bats are identified within any of the trees planned for removal, or if presence is assumed, the trees shall be removed outside of pup season, only on days with temperatures in excess of 50 degrees Fahrenheit. Pup season is generally during the months of May through August. Two-step tree removal shall be utilized under the supervision of the qualified biologist. Two-step tree removal involves removal of all branches of the tree that do not provide roosting habitat on the first day, and then the next day cutting down the remaining portion of the tree.
• Additionally, it is recommended that all other tree removal shall be conducted from January through March on days with temperatures in excess of 50 degrees Fahrenheit to avoid potential impacts to foliage-roosting bat species. • If roosting bats are identified within any structures planned for removal, a bat exclusion plan shall be prepared by a qualified bat biologist describing the methods to be used to humanely exclude bats prior to disturbance. The plan shall be approved by the City of Lincoln Community Development Department after consultation with CDFW and shall be implemented prior to the start of construction.
• The requirements for the bat expert and City to consult with CDFW prior to approving survey methods and a bat exclusion plan shall be satisfied either where CDFW responds to requests for consultation within 30 days of the requests or where the bat expert and City have attempted to consult with CDFW but CDFW has failed to respond to the request within 30 days of the placement of the request.

1) If construction activity that may disturb nesting birds (according to a qualified biologist) occurs during the nesting season (February 15 - September 1), the project applicant(s) for each project phase shall retain a qualified biologist to conduct a pre-construction breeding-season survey of the project site at least 30 days prior to onset of construction. Surveys for nesting raptors shall be conducted within ¼ mile of proposed construction activities. A survey for nesting birds shall be conducted within 500 feet of construction areas to determine if any birds are nesting on or within 500 feet of the project site. The results of the survey shall be valid only for the season when it is conducted. New surveys shall be conducted if construction of the surveyed area extends into the following season or if construction is suspended for more than 14 days during the nesting season, or if there is a substantial change in the level of disturbance at the site, unless all the potential nesting trees or other habitat have been removed. 2) If the pre-construction survey does not identify any protected raptor or bird nests on or within the buffers to the project site, no mitigation shall be required.
However, should any active nests be located within 500 feet of a proposed construction area at any time throughout the construction, the project applicant(s) for each project phase, in consultation with CDFW, shall avoid all bird nest sites located in the project site disturbance area(s) during the breeding season (approximately February 15 - September 1) while the nest is occupied with adults and/or young. This avoidance could consist of delaying construction in close proximity to the nest during the nesting season or establishing a non-disturbance buffer zone around the nest site. The size of the buffer zone shall be determined in consultation with CDFW. The buffer zone shall be delineated by orange temporary construction fencing. Any occupied nest shall be monitored by a qualified biologist to determine when the nest is no longer in use. Should construction activities cause the nesting bird to vocalize, make defensive flights at intruders, get up from a brooding position, or fly off the nest, then a qualified biologist should identify an increased exclusionary buffer such that activities are far enough from the nest to stop this agitated behavior.

If high quality Swainson’s hawk foraging habitat would be removed (i.e., alfalfa fields and pasture), then the applicant shall purchase mitigation credits for Swainson’s hawk foraging habitat at a CDFWapproved mitigation bank at a ratio of 1.35:1 or protect similar value agricultural land at a ratio of 1.35:1 with a conservation easement that maintains the land in high-value Swainson’s hawk foraging habitat in perpetuity, consistent with Mitigation Measure 3.4-2(b)(2)-(10).
Additional Measures for Burrowing Owl
5) Prior to project construction the project applicant(s) for each project phase shall hire a qualified biologist to conduct both nesting and wintering season surveys for burrowing owl to determine if potential habitat within 500 feet of ground disturbance is used by this species. The timing and methodology for the surveys shall be based on the 2012 Staff Report on Burrowing Owl Mitigation. A qualified biologist will conduct four survey visits: 1) at least one visit between February 15 and April 15, and 2) a minimum of three survey visits, at least three weeks apart between April 15 and July 1. If feasible, at least one visit will occur after June 15.
Surveys will be conducted within areas that, according to the qualified biologist, could support burrowing owl nesting habitat at the project site and within 150 meters of areas that will be directly or indirectly impacted by the project, if feasible.
6) If burrowing owls are discovered during the surveys, the project applicant shall notify the CDFW. A qualified biologist shall monitor the owls and establish a fenced exclusion zone around each occupied burrow. No construction activities shall be allowed within the exclusion buffer zone until such time that the burrows are determined to be unoccupied by a qualified biologist. The buffer zones shall be a minimum of 150 feet from an occupied burrow during the non-breeding season (September 1 through January 31), and a minimum of 250 feet from an occupied burrow during the breeding season (February 1 through August 31). 7) If complete avoidance is not feasible, the CDFW shall be consulted regarding a Burrowing Owl Exclusion Plan. All activities that will result in a disturbance to burrows shall be approved by CDFW prior to implementation.
Additional Measures for Tricolored Blackbird
8) Prior to project construction the project applicant(s) for each project phase shall hire a qualified biologist to conduct a tricolored blackbird nesting survey within the area to be disturbed, targeting potential breeding habitat such as emergent marsh, riparian thickets, and blackberry brambles. Two surveys shall be conducted at least three weeks apart between March 15 and September 1 within 500 feet of the area subject to ground disturbance. If a nesting colony is found within the survey area the project applicant(s) shall consult with CDFW to develop a Tricolored Blackbird Mitigation Plan to avoid, minimize and compensate for impacts to occupied nesting habitat and adjacent foraging habitat. Mitigation measures may include work windows (March 15 to September 1) to avoid impacting an active on-site nesting colony, purchasing conservation easements to protect occupied nesting and foraging habitat, or other measures mutually agreed upon by the applicant(s) and CDFW.

Additional cultural resources investigations may include testing and evaluation of archaeological resources, as well as data recovery efforts. If a significant unique archaeological resource is present that could be adversely impacted by a project, the project proponent shall:
a) In consultation with the lead agency and archaeologist, determine if preservation in place is feasible. Consistent with State CEQA Guidelines section 15126.4(b)(3), this may be accomplished through planning construction to avoid the resource; incorporating the resource within open space; capping and covering the resource; or deeding the site into a permanent conservation easement; or b) Design and implement an Archaeological Research Design and Treatment Plan (ARDTP). If avoidance is not feasible, the project proponent shall hire a Secretary of the Interior-qualified archaeological consultant who shall prepare a draft ARDTP that shall be submitted to the City of Lincoln for review and approval. The ARDTP shall identify how the proposed data recovery program would preserve the significant information the archaeological resource is expected to contain. Treatment of unique archaeological resources shall follow the applicable requirements of Public Resources Code Section 21083.2. Treatment for most resources would consist of (but would not be not limited to) sample excavation, artifact collection, site documentation, and historical research, with the aim to target the recovery of important scientific data contained in the portion(s) of the significant resource to be impacted by the project. The ARDTP shall include provisions for analysis of data in a regional context, reporting of results within a timely manner and subject to review and comments by the appropriate Native American representative before being finalized, curation of artifacts and data at a local facility acceptable to the appropriate Native American representative, and dissemination of final confidential reports to the appropriate Native American representative, the Northwest Information Center of the California Historical Resources Information System, the City, and interested professionals.

This worker training shall be prepared and presented by a qualified archaeologist.
If archaeological resources are discovered during earth-moving activities, the requirements of General Plan Policy OSC‐6.7 (Discovery of Archaeological/ Paleontological Resources) shall be followed, as described herein. In the event of accidental discovery during construction, all work must halt within a 100-foot radius of the discovery if subsurface deposits believed to be cultural or human in origin are discovered during construction. A qualified professional archaeologist meeting the Secretary of the Interior’s Professional Qualification Standards for prehistoric and historic archaeologist shall be retained to evaluate the significance of the find, and shall have the authority to modify the no-work radius as appropriate, using professional judgment. A Native American monitor, following the Guidelines for Monitors/Consultants of Native American Cultural, Religious, and Burial Sites established by the NAHC, will be required if the nature of the unanticipated discovery is prehistoric.
Work cannot continue within the no-work radius until the archaeologist conducts sufficient research and data collection to make a determination that the resource is either 1) not cultural in origin; or 2) not potentially significant or eligible for listing on the California or National Registers.
If a potentially eligible resource is encountered, then the lead agency shall require the project proponent to arrange for either 1) total avoidance of the resource, if feasible or 2) test excavations to evaluate eligibility and, if eligible, potentially data recovery as mitigation. The determination shall be formally documented in writing and submitted to the lead agency as verification that the provisions in CEQA for managing unanticipated discoveries have been met. Curation of any identified resources would be determined through consultation between the archaeologist, project proponent, and lead agency during the course of analysis.

Tribal Cultural Resources Mitigation Measure 1
The following language shall be noted on any project Improvement Plans involving the Village 7B project site, subject to review and approval by the City of Lincoln Community Development Department:
The project proponent or their construction contractor shall comply with the following measure to assist with identification of TCRs at the earliest possible time during projectrelated earthmoving activities associated with the Village 7B project site:
• Native American Tribes are experts in their Tribal Cultural Resources (TCRs) who have the statutory authority and expertise to identify sites or objects of cultural value to their Tribe and to recommend appropriate treatment and final disposition of such sites or objects.
• The project proponent shall contact the UAIC at least two weeks prior to project ground-disturbing activities to retain the services of a Tribal Monitor(s). The duration of the construction schedule and Tribal Monitoring shall be determined at this time. • A contracted Tribal Monitor(s) shall monitor the vegetation grubbing, stripping, grading, trenching, and other ground-disturbing activities on Assessor’s Parcel Number (APN) 021-350-046 within the Village 7B project site. All ground-disturbing activities in this area shall be subject to Tribal Monitoring unless otherwise determined unnecessary by the UAIC. Spot checking shall be permitted on the following APNs: 021-263-006, 021-263-014, 021-263-022, 021-263-023, 021-350- 006, 021-350-023, 021-350-027, 021-350-038, 021-350-039, and 021-350-040. • Tribal Monitors or Tribal Representatives shall have the authority to direct that work be temporarily paused, diverted, or slowed within 100 feet of the immediate impact area if sites or objects of potential significance are identified. The temporary pause/diversion shall be of an adequate duration for the Tribal Representative to examine the resource.
A) Appropriate treatment of TCRs may include but is not limited to:
B) Recordation of the resource(s)
C) Avoidance and preservation of the resource(s)
• Reburial of the resource(s) onsite in a designated area subject to no future disturbance. The location of the reburial shall be acceptable to the UAIC. • To track the implementation of this measure, the Tribal Monitor(s) shall document field-monitoring activities on a Tribal Monitor log.
• The Tribal Monitor(s) shall wear the appropriate safety equipment while on the construction site.
• The Tribal Monitor(s), in consultation with the UAIC THPO and the City, shall determine an end or reduction to the on-site monitoring if/when construction activities have a low potential for impacting Tribal Cultural Resources. • In the event the Tribal Monitor(s) does not report to the job site at the scheduled time after receiving proper notice, construction activities may proceed without tribal monitoring. At no time, regardless of the presence or absence of a tribal monitor, shall suspected TCRs be mishandled or disrespected.
• The City shall assist with resolution of disagreements between the project proponent/contractor and the Tribe if such occurs on the project.

Water Quality BMPs – Project Operation
Prior to approval of final improvement plans, the project applicant shall prepare a Water Quality Management Plan that meets all the requirements described below. i. The Water Quality Management Plan shall include the proposed water quality facilities and shall be prepared in accordance with Section 8.60.400 of the City’s Municipal Code for City review and approval. The Water Quality Management Plan shall be consistent with goals and standards established under federal and state non-point source National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System regulations, the Water Quality Control Plan for the Sacramento River Basin and San Joaquin River Basin water quality objectives, the City’s Post-Construction Stormwater Runoff Control Ordinance, and Low-Impact Development (LID) alternatives for stormwater quality control per Public Facilities and Services Implementation Measure 3.0 of the adopted 2050 General Plan.
ii. The Water Quality Management Plan shall include a description of all non-structural BMPs and include Covenants, Codes, and Restrictions (CC&Rs), or similar regulatory mechanism, to enforce implementation of non-structural BMPs. Nonstructural BMPs shall include, but not be limited to, “good housekeeping” practices for materials storage and waste management, storm drain system stenciling, landscape chemical use guidelines, and street sweeping. iii. The Water Quality Management Plan shall also include the method or methods for funding the long-term maintenance of the proposed water quality facilities during project operation, which the City shall consider and implement. iv. All BMPs for water quality protection, source control, and treatment control shall be developed in accordance with the Stormwater Quality Design Manual adopted by the City for the project. The BMPs shall be designed to mitigate (minimize, infiltrate, filter, or treat) stormwater runoff. Flow or volume based post-construction BMPs shall be included for long-term maintenance of BMPs and shall be designed at a minimum in accordance with the Section 10, Drainage, of the City of Lincoln Design Criteria and Procedures Manual and the Placer County Flood Control and Water Conservation District’s Stormwater Management Manual. All BMPs shall reflect the Best Available Technologies (BAT) available at the time of implementation and shall reflect site-specific limitations. The City shall make the final determinations as to the appropriateness of the BMPs proposed for the proposed project and the City shall ensure future implementation, operation, and maintenance of the BMPs. v. To comply with the requirements of the Placer County Mosquito and Vector Control District, all BMPs shall be designed to discharge all waters within 96 hours of the completion of runoff from a storm event. All graded areas must drain so that no standing water can accumulate for more than 96 hours within water quality facilities. vi. Stormwater runoff from the proposed project’s impervious surfaces (including roads) shall be collected and routed through specially designed water quality treatment facilities (BMPs) for removal of pollutants of concern (i.e. sediment, oil/grease, etc.), as approved by the City. Examples of these BMPs include, but are not limited to, grass strips, bioretention, bioswales, composite/treatment train BMPs, detention basins (surface/grass-lined), media filters (mostly sand filters), porous pavement, retention ponds (surface pond with a permanent pool), wetland basins (basins with open water surface), a combined category including both retention ponds and wetland basins, and wetland channels (swales and channels with wetland vegetation). The Water Quality Plan shall include plans for the maintenance of proposed BMPs. No water quality facility construction shall be permitted within any identified wetlands area, floodplain, or right-of-way, except as authorized by project approvals.

The noise study shall identify the measures to be utilized and the noise attenuation attributable to each feature.
Noise attenuating features may include, but are not limited to:
a) Construct noise barriers (walls and/or berms), as appropriate on a site-specific basis, to reduce traffic noise levels at noise-sensitive land uses, which have been found to be significantly impacted by traffic noise. A concrete cinderblock noise barrier must completely block line-of-sight between the source and receptor, and can reduce traffic noise levels by at least 10 dB. Any noise walls shall be landscaped with vines (to be fully covered within three years) and shall be landscaped in accordance with the General Development Plan (GDP).
b) Design and construct residential buildings adjacent to Dowd Road (between Mavis Avenue and Nicolaus Road), Mavis Road (between Dowd Road and Nelson Lane), Old Nelson Lane (between Moore Road and SR 65) and SR 65 (between Wise Road and south of Nelson Lane) so that their external activity areas are not within line-ofsight of these roadways. This could result in noise reductions of at least 3 dB. c) Repaving impacted roadways with “quiet” pavement types such as rubberized concrete. Roadways constructed with rubberized concrete can resulted in a net decrease in traffic noise levels of approximately 4 dB compared to that created by conventional asphalt.

3.15-6:
The project applicants shall pay their fair share cost towards the construction of a new interchange at SR 65 / Nelson Lane (#3), as supported by Lincoln General Plan Policy T-2.9. The timing of these payments is outlined in the development agreement. As described in Section 3.15.2, the City of Lincoln is in the process of updating its PFE fee program. This interchange is included in the City’s updated PFE fee program. Therefore, the project applicants shall pay their fair share towards these improvements through the City of Lincoln’s updated PFE fee program and ensure that they are constructed prior to the service level degrading to an unacceptable LOS F.
To initiate the Caltrans project development process towards implementing the new interchange, the project applicant shall fund the preparation of a Project Study Report – Project Development Support (PSR-PDS) document for a new interchange at SR 65/Nelson Lane (#3) in coordination with the City of Lincoln and Caltrans. The Caltrans project development process will determine the ultimate configuration of the new interchange and ensure that the ultimate configuration provides acceptable operations (i.e., LOS) based on Caltrans standards. Through the Caltrans project development process, the following intersection control options may be considered in accordance with Caltrans’ Intersection Control Evaluation (ICE) policy:
• Unsignalized (side street stop controlled);
• Roundabout – Single or multi-lane;
• Diverging diamond interchange;
• Signalized spread diamond;
• Signalized single point urban interchange; or
• Signalized partial cloverleaf.
While the PSR-PDS process would determine the ultimate configuration of the interchange, the City and project applicant assumed a six-lane signalized partial cloverleaf interchange for this analysis based on the available footprint and the planned circulation network identified in the Village 5 Specific Plan. Since the six-lane partial cloverleaf provides the greatest capacity and has the largest footprint of the options listed above, it was determined that this configuration would verify whether an interchange would adequately mitigate the project’s impact on traffic operations (i.e., if a six-lane partial cloverleaf does not meet LOS standards, additional mitigation may be necessary).
Analysis presented in Table 3.15-23 shows that the six-lane signalized partial cloverleaf interchange provides acceptable operations with the following lane configurations at the interchange ramp terminal intersections:
