Title

Contra Costa Canal Encasement Project

Description

Project consists of the Covered Activities identified in CDFW's Major Amendment No. 2 (Amendment) to Incidental Take Permit No. 2081-2013-022-03. First, the Amendment increases the overall allowable take authorization and Covered Activities to the previously unidentified 200-foot wide by 5,800 foot long Phase 5 staging area. Covered Activities within the staging area will affect approx.. 26.63 acres of giant garter snake upland habitat. Second, the Amendment requires additional compensatory mitigation to meet the "fully mitigated" standard for impacts from Covered Activities within the Phase 5 staging area. When analyzing the additional take and compensatory mitigation requirement, CDFW contemplated five acres of previously undocumented wetland habitat created by Permittee's mitigation efforts on Holland Tract. CDFW also contemplated seven acres of temporary impacts to Covered Species upland habitats identified in this ITP that the Permittee was able to avoid during Covered Activities that have been completed (i.e. during construction of Phase 2 of the project).
