suitable bat habitat within six months of Project activities. If the habitat assessment reveals
suitable bat habitat, then a qualified bat biologist shall conduct a presence/absence survey
between March 1 and October 31. If bats are present anywhere within the Project site, then the
qualified biologist shall submit a bat avoidance plan to CDFW for review and approval.
Bat Avoidance Plan. The bat avoidance plan should identify: 1) the location of the roosting
sites; 2) the number of bats present at the time of assessment (count or estimate); 3) species of
bats present; 4) the type of roost (e.g. day/night, maternity, hibernaculum, bachelor); 5)
proposed Project related impacts to the roost; and 6) species specific measures to avoid and
minimize impacts to bats including but not limited to the following:
No Disturbance Buffer. No disturbance buffers to be established around occupied roosts in
consultation with CDFW. The size of the buffer should be determined by the qualified bat
biologist based on the bat species, specific site conditions, and level of disturbance. The
buffer should be maintained until the qualified bat biologist determines that the roost is no
longer occupied.
Bat Exclusion. If a bat roost is found in a tree that must be removed, the qualified bat
biologist shall prepare a Bat Exclusion Plan outlining the proposed passive exclusion of
the bats from the roost. Exclusion shall be scheduled either (1) between March 1 and March
31, prior to parturition of pups and when nighttime lows are above 45°F; or (2) between
