construction near a nesting tree.When nests occur, they are usually found 15-30 feet above <br /> ground.The Swainson's Hawk should not be negatively affected due to extensive size of <br /> their home range and the location of The Project. <br /> Mitigation Measures and Reservoir Wildlife Benefits <br /> In order to mitigate possible harm to wildlife during construction and restoration of The <br /> Project area, it is important to identify locations of listed or sensitive species (Figure 1). <br /> As outlined in the letter from CPW, and additionally recommended by AloTerra staff, <br /> mitigation opportunities to protect wildlife such as construction timing should be <br /> implemented. Raptors nest in early spring so,heavy machinery, grinding and sorting <br /> operations, and earth moving activities should be conducted outside of the breeding <br /> season. Other wildlife that may be using the Project Area will also bypass the interior of <br /> project site during construction activities, and be forced to use the outer perimeter that <br /> feels safe to them. <br /> The reservoir and associated littoral and riparian habitats,when they include a diversity of <br /> native species, and structural diversity,would have high wildlife value. AloTerra <br /> recommends the final revegetation plan for the reservoir include high structural diversity, <br /> and high richness of native wetland and riparian vegetation,to support a diversity of <br /> wildlife. <br /> ALOTERRA Wildlife Technical Memo: Raindance Reservoir 8 <br />
