Monitoring: The Planning Division of Butte County Department of Development Services
and the Public Works Department inspection staff shall monitor this condition for compliance.
Violations of District Rules shall be reported to BCAQMD immediately.
2. Mitigation Measure BIO-1 If the project will include vegetation removal (including grasses) or earthwork of any kind during the nesting season (February 1 through August 31), CDFW recommends a pre-
construction nesting bird survey be conducted by a qualified biologist to identify the absence
or presence of active (i.e. with eggs or young) nests. The survey area should include the project site and a minimum 300-foot buffer around the project site. To minimize the chance of nests becoming established between the time the survey is conducted and when construction begins, CDFW recommends the preconstruction survey be conducted no more than three (3) days
before the start of vegetation removal and/or ground disturbing activities. Please also note that
Fish and Game Code section 3503 protects the nests and eggs of all birds, not just migratory birds and birds of prey. If active nests are observed during the pre-construction survey a species-appropriate no-disturbance buffer should be established to protect the active nest. Nesting birds’ tolerance of disturbance varies greatly depending on species, intensity of
disturbance, whether the nesting pair is accustomed to disturbance, the location of the nest, the
stage of development of nestlings, etc. Disturbance too close to the nest may impact the parents’ ability to forage effectively and reduce nestlings’ chances of survival. In some cases, disturbance can cause the parents to abandon the nest completely. For these reasons the size of the no-disturbance buffer should be determined by the qualified biologist. CDFW is available
to provide comments and feedback on nesting bird avoidance strategies if desired. However,
it should be noted that CDFW cannot guarantee that any specific buffer width will be sufficient to completely avoid take in any given situation, and therefore CDFW cannot approve or disapprove specific buffer proposals.
Plan Requirements: Perform protocol-level surveys for migratory birds protected by the
California Department Fish & Game Code and the Migratory Bird Treaty Act. This measure
shall be recorded on an additional map sheet to the Parcel Map.
Timing: Requirements of the condition shall be adhered to prior to and during construction
activities planned to occur during nesting seasons for CDFC and MBTA species (between February 1 and August 31).
Monitoring: The Butte County Department of Development Services and the Public Works Department shall ensure that the note is recorded an additional map sheet of the Parcel Map.
Department of Development Services shall ensure the condition is met at the time of
construction activities.
3. Mitigation Measure BIO-2 Place a note on a separate document which is to be recorded concurrently with the map or on an additional map sheet that states: “Any ground disturbance or vegetation removal within the
project area should be conducted during the non-breeding season (September 16 through
February 28). If construction activities occur during the breeding season (March 1-September 15) then a pre-construction raptor survey will be conducted by a qualified biologist to identify any active Swainson’s hawk nests within and in the vicinity of the BSA. The pre-construction survey will take place in accessible areas within a 0.5-mile radius of the area where construction
activities would occur. The required survey radius may be reduced on a case-by-case basis if
Butte County Department of Development Services
Conditions of Approval – Creekside Estates. Subdivision TSM18-0001 Page 3 of 14
approved by CDFW, but in no case will be less than 500 feet. At least one survey will be
conducted no more than one week prior to the initiation of construction. If no active nests are
located, no further measures are necessary to avoid impacts to Swainson’s hawk nests. If active nests are identified, the following measures will be implemented:
1. A no-disturbance buffer zone will be established around the nest. The width of the buffer will be determined by a qualified biologist in coordination with CDFW.
Determination of the required width will consider the distance of the nest from
construction activities, existing level of disturbance, etc.
2. A qualified biologist will monitor active nests within 500 feet (or the width of the buffer zone) of construction activities. The first monitoring event will coincide with the initial implementation of construction activities and monitoring will
continue at least once a week until the young have fledged. If the biologist
determines that construction is disturbing the birds and nest failure is possible, CDFW will be notified immediately. Measures to avoid nest failure will be implemented in coordination with CDFW and may include halting some or all construction activities until the young have fledged. For monitored nest sites, a
monitoring report will be submitted to CDFW within two weeks after termination
of monitoring activities.
Plan Requirements The above referenced mitigation shall be placed on a separate document which is to be recorded concurrently with the final map or an additional map sheet.
Timing: Requirements of the condition shall be adhered to prior to construction activities.
Monitoring: The Butte County Department of Development Services and the Public Works
Department shall ensure that the note is placed on a separate document which is to be recorded concurrently with the map or on an additional map sheet. Department of Development Services shall ensure the condition is met at the time of development and during construction activities.
4. Mitigation Measure CUL-1
Place a note on a separate document, which is to be recorded concurrently with the Final Map or on an additional map sheet and on all building and site development plans, that includes the following:
The project engineer shall create a map of based on the Jensen and Associates 1991 Cultural
Resources Report that indicates the area of the prehistoric site of potential historical
significance with a 100-foot buffer and labeled “Environmentally Sensitive Area.” No ground- disturbing work shall be allowed within this area.
The note shall include the following language: “A qualified archaeological monitor shall be hired and be present to inspect all ground-breaking activities including tree removal. Should
grading activities reveal the presence or prehistoric or historic cultural resources (i.e. artifact
concentrations, including arrowheads and other stone tools or chipping debris, cans glass, etc.; structural remains; human skeletal remains) work within 50 feet of the find shall immediately cease until a qualified professional archaeologist can be consulted to evaluate the find and implement appropriate mitigation procedures. Should human skeletal remains be encountered,
State law requires immediate notification of the County Coroner. Should the County Coroner
determine that the remains are in an archaeological context, the Native American Heritage
Butte County Department of Development Services
Conditions of Approval – Creekside Estates. Subdivision TSM18-0001 Page 4 of 14
Commission in Sacramento shall be notified immediately, pursuant to State law, to arrange for
Native American participation in determining the disposition of any remains.” The provisions
of this note shall be followed during construction of all subdivision improvements, including land clearing, road construction, utility installation, and building site development.
Plan Requirements: This note shall be placed on a separate document which is to be recorded concurrently with the map or on an additional map sheet and shall be shown on all site

duration to said channel or facility. Detention facilities must either discharge to receiving
