Executive Summary:
Approval of the Coachella Valley Multiple Species Habitat Conservation Plan/Natural Community
Plan (CVMSHCP/NCCP), Implementation Agreement and approval of the Memorandum Fringe-
Toed Lizard would allow the City to participate in the Coachella Valley Association of Government's
(CVAG) ongoing efforts to conserve natural resources resulting in a sustainable quality of life.
Designated in Plan are measures for the protection of multiple species and associated biological
communities.
�
The Community Conservation Plan (MSHCP) has been underway for more than 12 years.
Following the decision by Desert Hot Springs in June 2006 not to participate in the MSHCP, the
Plan was revised and recirculated. At the September 10, 2007, special joint meeting and public
hearing, the CVAG Executive Committee approved the MSHCP and certified the Final
Recirculated EIR on a vote of 10-0, with the City of Desert Hot Springs and Cabazon Band of
Mission Indians abstaining. The findings adopted by the CVAG Executive Committee conclude
that the Final Recirculated EIR is legally adequate and that the MSHCP will not result in
significant adverse impacts on the environment.
The following staff report attempts to merge into one informative discussion two overriding and
separate CVAG issues:
• Approval of the Coachella Valley Multiple Species Habitat Conservation
Plan/Natural Community Conservation Plan (CVMSHCP/NCCP) and
Implementing Agreement; certification of the Environmental Impact Report (EIR),
and
• Approval of the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to extend the Coachella
Valley Fringe-toed Lizard Permit to allow completion of the Coachella Valley
Multiple Species Habitat ConseNation Plan, including measures for continued
conservation of the Coachella Valley Fringe-toed Lizard.
Discussion:
Summary and Benefits of the MSHCP/NCCP
The Final Recirculated MSHCP excludes the City of Desert Hot Springs as a Permittee and
includes coverage for the proposed Morongo Wash flood control facility. The MSHCP will
ultimately conserve over 240,000 acres of open space and protect 27 plant and animal species.
Some of the benefits of the MSHCP are outlined below.
• Assures critical freeway and freeway interchange projects can be built without
delays resulting from endangered species conflicts
• Offers certainty for the business community ultimately making the Coachella
Valley a more attractive place for businesses to relocate or expand
• Preserves the Coachella Valley's native desert wildlife and creates a magnificent
system of open space parks, trails and reserves
� Safeguards significant habitat linkages and wildlife corridors that enable animals
to move safely from one habitat area to another
• By providing comprehensive compliance with federal and state endangered
species laws, the Plan not only safeguards the desert's natural heritage for future
generations, it benefits quality of life in the Coachella Valley.
�
Ramifications of the MSHCP not being Approved
Approval of the MSHCP is required in order to maintain the Coachella Valley fringe-toed lizard
permit, according to the MOU with the California Department of Fish and Game considered at
the September 10, 2007 meeting. Further, if the Plan is not approved by all the Permittees,
there will be no Incidental Take Permit for the eleven currently listed species that occur in
Coachella Valley and no Incidental Take Permits for the currently non-listed Covered Species
should they become listed. The consequences of that are as follows:
• Loss of Coachella Valley Fringe-toed Lizard Permit. The MOU extending the Coachella
Valley fringe-toed lizard (CVFTL) permit until March 15, 2008, requires approval of the
MSHCP by all Permittees by October 31, 2007. Without a State of California permit,
USFWS is likely to initiate suspension or revocation of the federal Incidental Take Permit
because the MSHCP is intended to redress deficiencies in the existing CVFTL HCP
identified by USFWS. Without the MSHCP, and the loss of the CVFTL permit,
development that would impact this species would no longer be permitted. This would
have an enormous impact on development throughout much of the Coachella Valley.
• No coverage for Transportation Projects not currently covered by the I-10 Mitigation
Bank. If the MSHCP is not approved, there would be no Incidental Take Permit for the
TPPS projects or for Caltrans' improvements. Each such project would need to seek an
Incidental Take Permit on a project-by-project basis from the Wildlife Agencies. While
five I-10 freeway interchanges and associated arterials are being addressed though the
I-10 Mitigation Bank on a parallel track to the MSHCP with the Wildlife Agencies, there
are likely to be delays with future projects occasioned by the lack of an MSHCP.
• Risk of New Species being listed as Threatened or Endangered. If a species not
currently listed were to become listed (such as Palm Springs pocket mouse), all
development in that species' habitat would be prohibited under the Endangered Species
Act without an Incidental Take Permit.
• No Simplification of Compliance with the State and Federal Endangered Species Acts.
Even projects that do not impact a threatened or endangered species must still address
the impacts of the project on other wildlife species. This may require preparation of an
EIR, surveys to determine if sensitive species are present, and mitigation measures,
which may have to be individually negotiated with USFWS and CDFG. Such individual
project mitigation can be quite costly and can cause significant delays in projects.
Plan schedule for the MSHCP
Consideration by Cities, County and other Permittees Before October 31, 2007
Issuance of state and federal permits Before March 15, 2008
Fiscal Analysis for the MSHCP
Implementation of the MSHCP is expected to cost $665,123,000 (2008 dollars) over the 75 year
period of the permits. Implementation of the MSHCP is designed to be self-funding and no
assessments are required of the Permittees. The MSHCP is to be funded from the Development
`3
Mitigation Fee, tipping fees and infrastructure mitigation payments from CVAG, Coachella
Valley Water District, Caltrans, and Imperial Irrigation District. CVAG's contribution is $30 million
in Measure A funds to mitigate all Transportation Project Prioritization Study (TPPS) projects.
The proposed Development Mitigation Fee would be $5,730 per acre, with a per unit fee for
residential development. The residential fee per unit for a density of 0-8 units per acre would be
$1,284.
Background for the Fringe-Toed Lizard Memorandum of Understanding
Since mid-July, CVAG staff has been working with the California Department of Fish and Game
to develop an agreement regarding the Coachella Valley fringe-toed lizard (CVFTL) permit. The
original Memorandum of Understanding dated March 21, 2001, as subsequently amended, and
the Consistency Determination for the CVFTL were set to expire on August 31, 2007. After
ongoing discussions with CDFG a meeting was held on August 30 including CVAG Chairman
Richard Kite and Supervisor Marion Ashley with Curt Taucher, Regional Manager of the
California Department of Fish and Game. At that meeting, CDFG agreed to a series of proposed
conditions and benchmarks that must be met in order to maintain permit coverage for the
CVFTL. In particular, CDFG would like to see us move forward as quickly as possible to
approve the MSHCP. The essential deal points from the negotiations with CDFG have been
incorporated into an MOU, which is attached for your consideration. Among the key benchmarks
included in the MOU are the following conditions:
1. The CVAG Executive Committee and CVCC approved the MSHCP as well as the
provisions contained in this MOU at their September 10, 2007, special joint meeting.
y As the MSHCP and MOU are approved, the Consistency Determination is extended until
October 31, 2007
2. The Cities, County and CVWD shall consider and approve the MSHCP and this MOU
prior to October 31, 2007.
➢ If the MSHCP and MOU are approved, the Consistency Determination will be extended
to March 15, 2008.
In addition to benchmarks toward approval of the MSHCP, other conditions in the MOU are
targeted at maintaining and enhancing conservation provisions for the CVFTL. The following is
a summary of the conditions, which will need to be met as part of this agreement:
1. CVAG and CVCC, on behalf of the Local Permittees will acquire 100 acres of land to
protect CVFTL habitat, and the sand source and sand transport areas required for the
maintenance of CVFTL habitat. CVAG and CVCC shall use available funding sources,
including but not limited to CVFTL fees, transportation funds, and grants.
2. CVAG and CVCC shall initiate by October 31, 2007, and complete by January 30, 2008,
a financial audit of the CVFTL fees collected by the Center for Natural Lands
Management since 2001.
3. The Cities and County shall continue to require payment of the CVFTL fee from
September 1, 2007, through March 15, 2008.
I
4. CVAG and CVCC will begin work on and will submit an initial draft of the Implementation
Manual sections, which address CVFTL conservation to CDFG and the U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service by October 31, 2007.
5. Public projects will be responsible for paying the CVFTL fee. This condition includes a
provision to acknowledge that the Cities, County and CVWD have no enforcement
authority for public projects not within their jurisdiction.
6. The Cities and Couniy wiil implement, to the extent allowed by law all of the
conservation measures in the Final MSHCP (included as Appendix A) that apply to
CVFTL. This condition is similar to one in the 2006 MOU; the measures listed in
Appendix A are excerpted directly from the MSHCP and apply primarily to
unincorporated areas.
The dates outlined in these conditions regarding approval of the MSHCP will allow us to move
forward with completion of the Plan. Once all of the Permittees have approved the Plan, the
state and federal Wildlife Agencies will complete their analysis and issue a permit decision.
Every effort will be made to complete the Plan and obtain permits by the end of 2007/early
2008. It is anticipated that the MSHCP will be approved and state and federal permits will be
issued on or before March 15, 2008.
Fiscal Analysis
No direct fiscal impact is anticipated from the MOU itself.

Re: Coachella Valley Multiple Species Habitat Conservation Plan
Dear Rachelle Klassen:
On September 10, 2007, the Executive Committee of the Coachella Valley
Association of Governments ("CVAG'') certified the Final Recirculated Environmental
Impact Report/Environmental Impact Statement ("EIR/EIS") for the Coachella Valley
Multiple Species Habitat Conservation Plan/Natural Community Conservation Plan
(`'MSHCP"or"Plan) and executed the appropriate implementing documents.
Your agency is a Permittee under the Plan and thus must take certain aciions,
including approval of the MSHCP, Implementing Agreement ("IA") and CEQA findings
to effectuate the Plan. We have provided a list of those actions below and have attached
model documents for your consideration. Please return to CVAG signed copies of the
below documents as soon as they are executed (with the exception of the staff reports).
Approval of documents that significantly deviate from the model documents could delay
Take Permit issuance. Please do not hesitate to contact our office if you have any
questions about the listed actions or model documents.
1. Responsible A ency Findings. For purposes of this Plan, your City is a
Responsible Agency under the California Environmental Quality Aci ("CEQA"). As
such, CCQA requires your City to make certain findings with respect to significant
environmental impacts potentially caused by adoption and implementation of the
MSHCP. Your City will also need to approve the MSHCP and IA (these were delivered
to your agency the week of September 4, 2007). For your convenience, we have attached
a model resolution making responsible agency findings and approval of the MSHCP and
IA, thereby accomplishing these tasks. (See Exhibit "A".) PLEASE RETURN 1 FULL
SIGNED ORIGINAL OF THE RESPONSIBLE AGENCY FINDINGS TO CVAG

2. Implementin�Aureement. You were previously provided with a complete
copy of the MSHCP IA. We are attaching a copy of the MSHCP IA signature page for
your agency's signature. (See Exhibit"B".) The IA will be signed in counterparts by
representatives of all of thc governmental agencies involved in the implementation of thc
Plan. PLEASE RETURN 1 FULL ORIGINAL AND 29 SIGNATURE PAGES OF
THE IA TO CVAG
3. Plan Implementation Resolution. "fhe IA requires the City to adopt and
maintain ordinances or resolutions that result in the effective implementation of the
MSHCP. Please find attached a model resolution which sets out the policies, procedures
and requirements in order to effectively implement the Plan. (See Fxhibit "C".) Please
noie that the model ordinance calls for attachment of the Final Recirculated EIR/EIS
previously provided to the City and CVAG's Findings. PLEASE RETURN 1 FULL
SIGIYED ORIG[NAL OF THE PLAIY IMPLEMEIYTAT(ON RESOLUTIOIY TO
CVAG
4. Coachella Vallev Frin�;e-Toed Lizard Memorandum of Understandin�
("CVFTL MOU"). Attached, please find the CVFTL MOU. (See Exhibit "D".) The
CVFTL MOU will be signed in counterparts by representatives of all of the governmental
agencies involved in the implementation of the Plan. PLEASE RETURN 1 FULL
ORIGINAL AND 19 SIGNATURE PAGES OF THE CVFTL MOU TO CVAG
5. Adoption of Mitigation Fee. The City is responsible lor imposing a
mitigation fee on new development within the plan area in order to meet the conservation
goals set forth in the MSHCP. The Local Development Mitigation Fee ordinance will
need to be considered before permit issuance, which is expected in early 2008. CVAG
will prepare a model fee ordinance and forward it to the participating jurisdictions in the
coming months under separate cover.
6. Notice of Determination. Filing and posting of a Notice of Determination
("NOD") with the County Clerk begins a 30 day statutc of limitations period during
which a party may challenge the Plan. The NOD must be filed within five (5) days of
project approval. We strongly urge your City to file and post an NOD and forward a copy
to the State of California Office of Planning and Research, otherwise the staiute of
limitation period could be substantially lengthened. We are providing the City with a
model NOD. (See Exhibit"E".) The City should include contact information for the
City-appointed designee, as well as an address for the Custodian of Records who
maintains the documents on the City's behalf. Normally, filing an NOD requires
payment of both a County filing fee ($64) and a Fish and Game fee ($2500); however,
because CVAG has already paid a Department of Fish and Game fee for the MSHCP,
your City will only be responsible for paying the County filing fee. We are providing
you with a copy of CVAG's Department of Fish and Game fee receipt. (See F,xhibit "F".)
A copy of the receipt must be filed with your City's NOD in order to avoid an additional
payment of the $2500 Fish ar�d Game fee. PLEASE FILE THE ENCLOSED NODs
WITH COUNTY CLERK AND OFFICE OF PLANNING AND RESEARCH
WITHIN FIVE DAYS OF APPROVAL

the above-referenced Act and its Guidelines; and
WHEREAS, all other legal prerequisites to the adoption of this Resolution have
occurred, now, therefore,
BE IT RESOLVED, FOUND, DETERMINED, AND ORDERED by the CVAG
Executive Committee on September 10, 2007, that:
A. Certain plant and animal species and Habitat exist, or may exist, within the
MSHCP Plan Area, which are: 1) state or federally listed as threatened or
endangered; 2} praposed for listing as threatened or endangered; or 3) identified
as a CDFG Species of Special Concern, a California Fully Protected Species, a
California Specially Protected Species, a sensitive plant species as determined by
the California Native Plant Society, or other untisted wildlife considered to be
sensitive.
B. Future growth and land Development within the MSHCP Plan Area, including
both public and private projects, may result in impacts to 27 species ("Covered
Species") identified in the Plan and its associated documents, eleven of which are
listed under the ESA or the California Endangered Species Act ("CESA"). Thus,
Take Authorization is required prior to the carrying out of otherwise law�fu]
activities that may "Take" one or more of these Covered Species.
C. The MSHCP establishes the conditions under which entities defined under the
Plan and its associated documents as "Permittees" will receive certain long-term
Take Authorizations and other assurances that will allow the taking of Covered
Species incidental to lawful uses authorized by the Permittees; and
D. The MSHCP provides for the assembly and management of a reserve for the
Conservation of natural Habitat and its constituent wildlife populations, and
establishes an overall Conservation Strategy for the MSHCP Plan Area that will
guarantee the protection of the Covered Species. The Conservation Strategy
includes the Conservation of the Covered Species, existing Habitat, the restoration
of degraded Habitat, mana�ing a Reserve System, and conducting biological
monitoring in perpetuity.
4
��
E. The MSHCP provides for the creation of a Reserve System that will conserve and
manage approximately 723,480 acres of Habitat for the 27 Covered Species which
includes approximately 557,100 acres of Existing Reserves (as of 2006) and
166,380 acres of Complementary Conservation and Additional Conservation
Lands. (MSHCP, Table 4-1.)
F. The MSHCP will serve as a Habitat Conservation Plan ("HCP") pursuant to
Section 10(a)(1)(B) of the ESA, as well as an NCCP pursuant to the NCCP Act of
2002, as amended. The approval of the MSHCP and execution of the IA allows
the CDFG and USFWS (collectively, the "Wildlife Agencies") to issue Take
Authorizations for Covered Species in the MSHCP Plan Area to the signatories of
the IA.
G. The MSHCP provides Take Authorization for Covered Activities for the Covered
Species. The MSHCP is "self-mitigating," meaning that most Project impacts are
reduced to below a level of significance as a result of implementation of MSHCP
components. Additionally, implementation of the Management and Monitoring
Programs outlined in the MSHCP will further reduce all the potential
impacts/consequences of the MSHCP.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED by CVAG that the Final Recirculated EIR/EIS and the
evidence in the administrative record before it confirms that implementation of the MSHCP will
result in no significant adverse environmental impacts.
A. Aesthetics
The MSHCP will result in the Conservation of approximatety 723,480 acres of
Habitat and protect an array of scenic resources, thereby having a positive or
beneficial impact on aesthetics. (MSHCP, Table 4-1; Final Recirculated EIR/EIS,
p. 2-9.) The aesthetic impacts potentially associated with the implementation of
the MSHCP are primarily limited to those associated with the construction of new
trails and interpretive facilities such as kiosks. (Final Recirculated EIR/EIS 4.9-
18.) However, the MSHCP provides guidelines for the planning and Development
of new traits and public access facilities which will avoid and minimize impacts.
(Ibid.) The guidelines prohibit the use of off-road vehicles and motorized access
by non-emergency or non-reserve management personnel, and restricts use of
mountain bikes in some locations. (Ibid.) Based upon these provisions, the
MSHCP will not adversely affect new trail and public access facilities, which can
be conditioned as needed to effectively mitigate potential impacts to visual
resources in these areas. (Ibid.) Accordingly, impacts on aesthetics are less than
significant.
Revised Trails Plan. Impacts to aesthetic resources resulting from
implementation of the Revised Trails Plan are limited to those associated with the
construction of new trails, especially those within and along the lower elevations
of the Santa Rosa and San Jacinto Mountains. (Final Recirculated EIR/EIS, p.
5-85.) However, approval for the construction of new perimeter trails and the
5
� �
Palm Desert to La Quinta Connector will be deferred pending completion of a
focused research program to further evaluate the effects of recreational trail use
on PBS. (Ibid.)
New trail proposals will be evaluated for alignments that feature aesthetic impacts
that are less than significant levels by subjecting the proposed routes to a visual
impact analysis. Guidelines will be implemented to avoid and minimize impacts
which include initial pre-design and construction assessments to minimize
impacts. (Final Recirculated EIR/EIS, pp. 2-47 through 2-50.) The proposed
MSHCP guidelines direct future trail aligrunents to existing dirt roads wherever
possible. (Final Recirculated EIR/EIS, p. 2-48.) Trailhead guidelines direct such
facilities to areas where they will be compatible with Conservation Goals and
Objectives. (Final Recirculated EIR/EIS, p. 2-47.) New trail development within
Conservation Areas outside the Santa Rosa and San Jacinto Mountains
Conservation Area will be subject to the provisions of NEPA and/or CEQA, and
will be required to demonstrate that trail and other facilities development would
not have an adverse impact on visual or scenic resources. (Final Recirculated
ETR/EIS, pp. 5-22, 5-44.) Therefore, the impact of the Plan is less than significant.
B. Agricultural Resources
Approximately 1,120 acres of the 84,900 acres of active agricultural use in the
Plan Area will be included in the Conservation Areas. (Final Recirculated
EIR/EIS, p. 4.5-2.) Conversion of all of this land from agricultural use to non-
agricultural use if it ever occurs could constitute a maximum potential loss of
1.4% of a�ricultural lands in the Plan Area. (Ibid.) All of the 1,120 acres of
agricultural land within the Conservation Areas are designated as "Farmland of
Local Importance" by the California Department of Conservation. (Ibid.) These
lands carry a heavy load of mineral salts from decades of irrigation. (Ibicl.) Other
agricultural soils in this area occur on lands that have been converted into or are
planned for Development. (Ibid.) No other active or cultivatable land will be
impacted by the implementation of the Plan. (Ibid.)
Additionally, the MSHCP will not impact any lands under Williamson Act
contracts nor will it preclude entering into such contracts in the future on lands
that are currently in active agriculture, whether such lands are located within or
outside of a Conservation Area. (Final Recirculated EIR/EIS, p. 4.5-3.)
Finally, the Plan will not result in any changes in the physical or rcgulatory
environment that would significantly impact farmland or result in the conversion
of farmland to non-agricultural uses. (Final Recirculated E1R/EIS, p. 4.5-2.)
Therefore, given the minor impact to active agricultural lands and state-identified
farmlands with the potential for conversion to agricultural use, the Plan will have
a less than significant impact on agricultural lands.
6
��
C. Air Quatity
The MSHCP Plan Area is located within the Salton Sea Air Basin. (Final
Recirculated EIR/EIS, p. 4.9-12.) In and of itself, the MSHCP does not authorize
future Development. (Final Recirculated EIR/EIS, p. 4.9-13.) However, Plan
implementation may cause future Development to be displaced to other areas in
the Coachella Valley rather than not occurring at all. (Final Recirculated EIR/EIS,
p. 4.9-12.) The location of where this Development could be displaced is too
speculative to analyze at this point. (Ibid.) In addition, minor vehicular emissions
may result from vehicle trips in conjunction with biological monitoring and land
management, or from persons traveling to the Reserve System to recreate. (Ibid.)
But the total number of vehicle miles traveled will not increase significantly and
will be statistically insignificant. (Ibid.) Based on the foregoing, the Plan's effects
on air quality are less than significant.
D. Biological Resources
The intent of the MSHCP is to assure the protection in perpetuity of the Covered
Species, natural communities and overall biodiversity, and to protect functioning
ecosystems in the Plan Area. (Final Recirculated EIR/EIS, p. 4.7-2.) The MSHCP
provides Take Authorization of Covered Species to Permittees for specified
Covered Activities. (Ibid.) The MSHCP takes a species-specific approach in
determining the requirements for the Conservation of each Covered Species.
Discussed below are the impacts to each Covered Species and the Plan features
that will reduce Project impacts to below a level of significance.
1. Impacts to Mecca aster (Xylorhiza cognata). Individuals occurring
outside the Conservation Areas will be subject to Habitat loss, including
those occurring east of the Coachella Canal in the Mecca Hills. (Finai
Recirculated EIR/EIS, p. 4.7-11.) Approximately 6,328 acres (10%) of all
Habitat and 30% of non-federal lands will be subject to Habitat loss under
the MSHCP. (Ibid.) Approximately 1,339 acres (2%) of this is Core
Habitat subjeci to Habitat loss under the Plan. (Ibid.) However, the remote
locations and lack of threats make it unlikely that these levels of Habitat
loss will ever occur. (Ibid.)
Features of the MSHCP that will reduce Project Impacts. The MSHCP
ensures Conservation of Core Habitat in five Conservation Areas, and
protects Other Conserved Habitat in two Conservation Areas across a
range of environmental conditions within which the species occurs.
(MSHCP, Table 4-116.) The MSHCP also implements biological
monitoring and Adaptive Management to identify threats and to ensure
Conservation of this species. (Ibid.) All of these actions will conserve this
species in perpetuity. (Ibid.) Conservation under the Plan includes 11,745
acres of Core Habitat in the Thousand Palms Conservation Area, 6,091
acres of Core Habitat in the Indio Hills Palms Conservation Area, 1,594
7
'�-1
acres of Core Habitat in the East Indio Hills Conservation Area, 4,731
acres of Core Habitat in the Desert Tortoise and Linkage Conservation
Area, and 31,655 acres of Core Habitat in the Mecca Hills/Orocopia
Mountains Conservation Area. (MSHCP, Table 9-2.) Including Other
Conserved Habitat in other Conservation Areas, the total Habitat to be
conserved for this species in the Reserve System is 54,667 acres, or 86%
of all Mecca aster Habitat in the Plan Area (98% of Core Habitat).
(MSHCP, Tables 4-114 and 4-116.) The Plan will also control and manage
activities that degrade this species' Habitat. (MSHCP, Table 4-116.)
Based on the above, impacts to the Mecca aster will be less than
significant and the benefits conferred by the Plan will protect adequate
unfragmented Habitat, maintain Essential Ecological Processes to sustain
the Habitat, and protect Biological Corridors and Linkages, as appropriate.
2. Impacts to the Coachella Valley milkvetch — Astragalus lentiginosus
var. coachellae. Individuals occurring outside of the MSHCP
Conservation Area will be subject to Habitat loss. (Final Recirculated
EIR/EIS, p. 4.7-5.) Approximately 15,400 acres (42%) of all Habitat and
51% of the non-Federal lands will be subject to Habitat loss under the
MSHCP. (Ibid.) There will be approximately 928 acres (6%) of Core
Habitat subject to Habitat loss under the MSHCP. (Ibid.)
Features of the MSHCP that wifl reduce Project Impacts. Within the
Plan Area, the MSHCP will conserve all remaining populations of this
species where Essential Ecological Processes are intact. (Ibid.)
Approximately 2,385 acres of Core Habitat will be conserved in the Snow
Creek/Windy Point, 5,325 acres in the Whitewater Floodplain
Conservation Area, 2,884 acres in the Willow Hole Conservation Area,
and 4,292 acres in the Thousand Palms Conservation Area. (MSHCP,
Table 9-4.) To protect the species in the range of environmental conditions
in which it occurs, a total of 4,471 acres of Other Conserved Habitat will
be protected in the Stubbe and Cottonwood Canyons, Whitewater Canyon,
Highway i l l/I-10, Upper Mission Creek/Big Moron�o Canyon, Edom
Hill, Indio Hills/Joshua Tree National Park Linkage, and Joshua Tree
National Park Conservation Areas. (MSHCP, Table 9-4). In total, the Plan
will ensure protection and management in perpetuity of 11,650 acres of
Habitat for this species, which, together with Existing Conservation Land,
will result in approximately 19,357 acres of Habitat for this species being
conserved under the MSHCP. (MSHCP, Table 4-114.) This includes 94%
of the Core Habitat. (MSHCP, Table 4-116.) The MSHCP will also secure
the sand source/transpori systems for the Core Habitat areas, and will
control and manage activities that degrade this species' Habitat, such as
sand compaction and/or vegetation destruction, including from OHV
travel and other human disturbance. (Ibid.) The Plan will also implement
biological monitoring and Adaptive Management measures to address
8
����
various threats to the species and to ensure long-term persistence of this
species. (Ibid.)
Thus, impacts to the Coachella Valley milkvetch under the MSHCP will
be less than significant and the benefits conferred by the Plan will protect
adequate unfragmented Habitat, maintain Essential Ecological Processes
to sustain the Habitat, and protect Biological Conidors and Linkages, as
appropriate.
3. Impacts to the triple-ribbed milkvetch — Astragalus tricarinatus.
Approximately 164 acres (5%) of all Habitat and 11% of non-federal lands
will be subject to Habitat loss under the MSHCP. (Final Recirculated
EIR/EIS, p. 4.7-7.) There will be approximately 104 acres (5%) of Core
Habitat subject to Habitat loss under the Plan. (Final Recirculated
EIR/EIS, p. 4.7-7.)
Features of the MSHCP that will reduce Project Impacts. All known
occurrences of triple-ribbed milkvetch will be conserved, along with the
adjacent lands in Whitewater Canyon and Mission Creek. (Ibid.) In total,
2,838 acres (94% of all Habitat in the Plan Area, including 33 of the 34
known locations, and 96% of the Core Habitat, including Core Habitat in
the Whitewater Canyon and Upper Mission Creek/Big Morongo Canyon
Conservation Areas) will be included in the Reserve System. (MSHCP,
Tables 4-114 and 4-116.) The MSHCP will protect Essential Ecological
Processes, including hydrological regimes, necessary to maintain Habitat
for this species. (MSHCP, Table 4-116.) The MSHCP will also implement
biological monitoring and Adaptive Management to identify and address
various threats to the species and to ensure long-term persistence of this
species. (Ibid.)
In addition, the Requircd Avoidance, Minimization, and Mitigation
Measures discussed at Section 4.4 of the MSHCP require that, for most
Covered Activities within the modeled triple-ribbed milkvetch Habitat in
Whitewater Canyon, Whitewater Floodplain, Upper Mission Creek/Big
Morongo Canyon, and Santa Rosa and San Jacinto Mountains
Conservation Areas, surveys by an Acceptable Biologist will be required
for activities during the growing and flowering period from February 1 -
May 15. (MSHCP, p. 4-177.) Any occurrences of the species will be
flagged and public infrastructure projects shall avoid impacts to the plants
to the maximum extent possible. (Ibid.) Known occurrences on a map
maintained by CVCC shall not be disturbed. (Ibid.)
Based on the above, impacts to triple-ribbed milkvetch under the MSHCP
will be less than significant and the benefts conferred by the Plan will
protect adequate unfragmented Habitat, maintain Essential Ecological
Processes to sustain the Habitat, and protect Biological Corridors and
Linkages, as appropriate.
9
�-3
4. Impacts to Orocopia sage (Salvia greatae). Individuals occurring outside
the Conservation Areas will be subject to Habitat loss, including those
occurrin� on the east side of the Mecca Hills. (Final Recirculated EIK/EIS,
p. 4.7-13.) Approximately 6,933 acres (9°/a) of all Habitat and 28% of non-
federal lands will be subject to Habitat loss under the MSHCP. (Ibid.)
Features of the MSHCP that will reduce Project Impacts. The MSHCP
ensures Conservation of Core Habitat in two Conservation Areas, and
protects Other Conserved Habitat in another Conservation Area across a
range of environmental conditions within which the species occurs.
(MSHCP, Table 4-116.) The MSHCP also implements biological
monitoring and Adaptive Management to identify threats and to ensure
Conservation of this species. (Ibid.) All of these actions will conserve this
species in perpetuity. (Ibid.) Conservation under the Plan includes 735
acres of Core Habitat in the Desert Tortoise and Linkage Conservation
Area, 64,377 acres of Core Habitat in the Mecca Hills/Orocopia
Mountains Conservation Area, and 3,838 acres of Other Conserved
Habitat in the Dos Palmas Conservation Area. (MSHCP, Table 9-7.) The
total of Habitat for this species to be conserved in the Reserve System is
68,950 acres, or 87% of all Orocopia sage Habitat in the Plan Area (97%
of Core Habitat). (MSHCP, Tables 4-114 and 4-116.) Threats to the
species and its Habitat are minimal. (Final Recirculated EIK/EIS, p. 4.7-
14.) The Plan will also control and manage activities that degrade this
species' Habitat, such as OHV activity and other activities that could
damage plants and their Habitat. (MSHCP, Table 4-116.)
Regarding the Covered Activities that may affect this species, such
activities will disturb an insignificant amount of acreage, resulting in
enough Conserved Habitat to maintain the plant in perpetuity. (Final
Recirculated EIR/EIS, p. 4.7-14.)
Based on the above, impacts to the Orocopia sage will be less than
significant and the benefits conferred by the Plan will protect adequate
unfragmented Habitat, maintain Essential Ecological Processes to sustain
the Habitat, and protect Biological Corridors and Linkages, as appropriate.
5. Impacts to the Little San Bernardino Mountains linanthus (Linanthus
maculates or Gilia maculate). Approximately 429 acres (13%) of all
Habitat will be subject to Habitat loss under the MSHCP. (MSHCP, Table
4-114; Final Recirculated EIR/EIS p. 4.7-9.) This is 16% of the non-
federal lands in the Plan Area. (Final Recirculated EIR/EIS, p. 4.7-9.)
There will be approximately 234 acres (9%) of Core Habitat subject to
Habitat loss under the Plan (0 acres outside and 234 acres inside
Conservation Areas). (Ibid.)
Features of the MSHCP that will reduce Project Impacts. T'he Plan
conserves large blocks of Habitat for linanthus in the Upper Mission
10
��
Creek/Big Morongo Canyon Conservation Area totaling 2,235 acres of
Core Habitat in the Upper Mission Creek/Big Morongo Canyon
Conservation Area, which has also been designed to preserve the braided
streams and associated micro-topographic features to which this plant is
adapted, 540 acres of Other Conserved Habitat in the Whitewater Canyon
Conservation Area, and 180 acres of Other Conserved Habitat in the
Willow Hole Conservation Area. (MSHCP, Table 9-8.) This is a total of
approximately 2,955 acres (87% of all Habitat for this species in the Plan
Area) to be conserved in the Reserve System. (MSHCP, Table 4-114.) The
Plan also requires that the fluvial processes that sustain Habitat for the
linanthus be maintained. (Final Recirculated EIR/EIS, p. 4.7-9.) The Plan
will also control and manage activities that degrade linanthus Habitat,
such as vehicular travel in washes and other activities that could damage
plants and their Habitat. (MSHCP, Tabie 4-116.) The Plan will also
implement biological monitoring and Adaptive Management measures to
identify and address various threats to the species and to ensure long-term
persistence of this species. (Ibid.) In addition, Section 4.4 of the MSHCP
(Required Avoidance, Minimization, and Mitigation Measures) provides
additional Conservation protection. That provision requires that, to avoid
and minimize impacts to this species as much as possible, salvage of top
soil and/or seeds should occur prior to ground disturbance in accordance
with Section 6.6.1. Salvage should be conducted by or in cooperation with
the CVCC. (MSHCP, p. 4-178.)
Based on the above, impacts to the Little San Bernardino Mountains
linanthus will be less than significant and the benefits conferred by the
Plan will protect adequate unfragmented Habitat, maintain Essential
Ecological Processes to sustain the Habitat, and protect Biological
Conidors and Linkages, as appropriate.
6. Impacts to the Coachella Valley giant sand-treader cricket
(Macrobaenetes valgum). Individuals occurring outside the Conservation
Areas will be subject to Take Authorization, including those occurring on
the Big Dune. (Final Recirculated EIR/EIS, p. 4.7-15.) Approximately
13,682 acres (51%) of all Habitat and 61% of non-federal lands will be
subject to Take under the MSHCP. (Ibid.) There will be approximately
533 acres (5%) of Core Habitat subject to Take Authorization under the
MSHCP. (Ibid.) Nearly all (94%) of the Take will be outside Conservation
Areas, such as on Big Dune (Palm Springs Sand Ridge), where the
blowsand Habitat is shielded. (Ibid.)
Features of the MSHCP that will reduce Project Impacts. The MSHCP
ensures Conservation of Core Habitat in three Conservation Areas, and
protects Other Conserved Habitat in four Conservation Areas across a
range of environmental conditions within which the species occurs.
(MSHCP, Table 9-9.) The MSHCP also ensures Conservation of Essential
Ecological Processes including sand source/transport systems, and
11
�5
implements biological monitoring and Adaptive Mana�ement to identify
threats and to ensure Conservation of this species. (Ibid.) All of these
actions will conserve this species in perpetuity. (Ibid.) Conservation under
the Plan includes 1,243 acres of Core Habitat in the Snow Creek/Windy
Point Conservation Area, 5,309 acres of Core Habitat in the Whitewater
Floodplain Conservation Area, 3,869 acres of Core Habitat in the
Thousand Palms Conservation Area, 1,594 acres of Other Conserved
Habitat in the Willow Hole Conservation Area, 3 acres of Other
Conserved Habitat in the Thousand Palms Conservation Area, 114 acres
of Other Conserved Habitat in the Edom Hill Conservation Area, 754
acres of Other Conserved Habitat in the East Indio Hills Conservation
Area, and 112 acres of Other Conserved Habitat in the Santa Rosa and San
Jacinto Mountains Conservation Area. (MSHCP, Table 9-9.) The total of
Habitat for this species to be conserved in the Reserve System is 12,997
acres, or 48% of all Coachella Valley giant sand-treader cricket Habitat in
the Plan Area (95% of Core Habitat). (MSHCP, Tables 4-114 and 4-116.)
The Plan will also control and manage activities that degrade Habitat for
this species, such as OHV activity and other activities that can kill
individuals or damage their Habitat. (MSHCP, Table 4-116.)
Based on the above, impacts to the Coachella Valley giant sand-treader
cricket will be less than significant and the benefits confened by the Plan
will protect adequate unfragmented Habitat, maintain Essential Ecological
Processes to sustain the Habitat, and protect Biological Conidors and
Linkages, as appropriate.
7. Impacts to the Coachella Valley Jerusalem cricket (Stenopelma[us
cahuilaensis). Individuals occurring outside the Conservation Areas will
be subject to Take, including those occurring on the Big Dune. (Final
Recirculated EIR/EIS, p. 4.7-17.) Approximately 9,989 acres (44%) of all
Habitat and 49% of non-Federal lands will be subject to Take
Authorization under the MSHCP. (Ibid.) Nearly all (96%) of the Take will
be outside the Conservation Areas, where the Habitat is less likely to be
occupied. (MSHCP, Tables 4-114 and 4-116.) There will be
approximately 150 acres (9%) of Core I�abitat subject to Take
Authorization under the Plan. (Ibid.)
Features of the MSHCP that will reduce Project Impacts. The MSHCP
protects a contiguous Habitat in the Snow Creek/Windy Point
Conservation Area, which appears to be the center of this species'
distribution, and which will create a preserve of sufficient size to conserve
this species in perpetuity. (MSHCP, Table 4-116.) The MSHCP also
protects Other Conserved Habitat in six Conservation Areas across a range
of environmental conditions within which the species occurs. (MSHCP,
Table 9-11.) The MSHCP also ensures Conservation of Essential
Ecological Processes including sand source/transport systems; maintains
Biological Corridors and Linkages to allow connectivity and shifts in
12
�P
distribution over time; and implements biological monitoring and
Adaptive Management to identify threats and to ensure Conservation of
this species. (MSHCP, Table 4-116.) All of these actions will conserve
this species in perpetuity. Conservation under the Plan includes 1,540
acres of Core Habitat in the Snow Creek/Windy Point Conservation Area,
and a total of 10,509 acres of Other Conserved Habitat in eleven
Conservation Areas. (MSHCP, Table 9-11.) The total of Habitat for this
species to be conserved in the Reserve System is 12,049 acres, or 53% of
all Coachella Valley Jerusalem cricket Habitat in the Plan Area (91% of
Core Habitat). (MSHCP, Tables 4-114 and 4-116.)
Based on the above, impacts to the Jerusalem cricket are less than
significant and the benefits conferred by the Plan will protect adequate
unfragmented Habitat, maintain Essential Ecological Processes to sustain
the Habitat, and protect Biological Corridors and Linkages, as appropriate.
8. Impacts to the desert pupfish (Cyprinodon macularius). Individuals
occurrin� outside the Conservation Areas will be subject to Take,
including those occurring in shoreline pools of the Salton Sea. (Final
Recirculated EIR/EIS, p. 4.7-20.) In addition, individuals occurring in the
drains will be subject to Take by CVWD for ongoing maintenance
activities in the drains. (Ibid.)
Features of the MSHCP that will reduce Project Impacts. The Plan
will ensure that existing desert pupfish Habitat and refugia populations are
protected and managed. (MSHCP, Table 4-116.) The Plan conserves
100% of the 31 known locations for the species. (Ibid.) This includes
Conservation of agricultural drains and shoreline pools. (Ibid.) The
MSHCP will protect Core Habitat in Salt Creek in the Dos Palmas
Conservation Area and in the agricultural drains in the Coachella Valley
Stormwater Channel and Delta Conservation Area, and will protect refugia
populations in the Thousand Palms Conservation Area and the Dos Palmas
Conservation Area. (MSHCP, Table 9-13) In addition, the Plan requires
CVWD io prepare a Monitoring and Adaptive Management Plan for desert
pupfish within one year of Permit issuance to assure long-term viability of
pupfish in the agricultural drains leading into the Salton Sea. (MSHCP,
Table 4-116.) This Monitoring Program will result in updated information
on the existing pupfish populations in the Salton Sink. (Ibid.) The Plan
also requires CVWD to establish 25 acres of artificial pupfish Habitat.
(Final Recirculated EIR/EIS, p. 4.7-21.)
Based on the above, impacts to the desert pupfish are less than significant
and the benefits conferred by the Plan will protect adequate unfragmented
Habitat, maintain Essential Ecological Processes to sustain the Habitat,
and protect Biological Corridors and Linkages, as appropriate.

9. Impacts to the arroyo toad (Bufo californicus). Individuals occurring
outside the Conservation Areas will be subject to Take, including those
occurring in the Bonnie Bell area. (Final Recirculated EIR/EIS, p. 4.7-23.)
Approximately 88 acres (4%) of all Arroyo toad Habitat and 11% of non-
Federal lands will be subject to Take Authorization under the MSHCP.
(Ibid.)
Features of the MSHCP that will reduce Project Impacts. Pursuant to
the recommendations of the Recovery Plan for the arroyo toad, the
MSHCP calls for acquisition and management of key Habitat in
Whitewater Canyon. (Final Recirculated EIR/EIS, p. 4.7-24.) The MSHCP
will result in the Conservation of 2,007 acres of arroyo toad Habitat,
including 2,004 acres of Core Habitat in the Whitewater Canyon
Conservation Area, and 3 acres of Other Conserved Habitat in the Upper
Mission Creek/Big Morongo Canyon Conservation Area. (MSHCP,
Tables 4-114 and 4-116.) The 2,007 acres of Conserved Habitat is 96% of
all arroyo toad Habitat, (and 96% of the Core Habitat) in the Plan Area.
(Ibid.) The MSHCP will protect Essential Ecological Processes, including
hydrological regimes, necessary to maintain Habitat for this species.
(MSHCP, Table 4-116.) The MSHCP will also implement biological
monitoring and Adaptive Management to identify and address various
threats to the species and to ensure long-term persistence of this species.
(Ibid.)
Based on the above, impacts to the arroyo toad are less than significant
and the benefits conferred by the Plan will protect adequate unfragmented
Habitat, maintain Essential Ecological Processes to sustain the Habitat,
and protect Biological Corridors and Linkages, as appropriate.
10. Impacts to the desert tortoisc (Gopherus agassizi��. Individuals
occurring outside the Conservation Areas will be subject to Take,
including those occuning east of Hwy 62 and east of Dillon Rd to the
boundary with Joshua Tree National Park. (Final Recirculated EIR/EIS, p.
4.7-33.) Approximately 67,229 acres (12%) of all Habitat and 28% of non-
Federal lands will be subject to Take Authorization under the MSHCP.
(Ibid.; MSHCP, Tables 4-114 and 4-116.) There will be approximately
11,478 acres (3%) of Core Habitat subject to Take Authorization under the
Plan. (Final Recirculated EIR/EIS, p. 4.7-33.)
Features of the MSHCP that will reduce Project Impacts. Ninety-
seven percent of the Critical Habitat in the eastern Plan Area will be
conserved for desert tortoise and 86% of the occupied or potential Habitat
is conserved under the Plan. (MSHCP, Table 4-116.) The MSHCP will
result in the Conservation of approximately 145,911 acres of modeled
Habitat together with Existing Conservation Land or a total of 491,810
acres conserved, including 365,379 acres of Core Habitat. (MSHCP, Table
9-15.) The MSHCP ensures Conservation of Core Habitat in seven
14
�-S
Conservation Areas from western to eastern parts of the Plan Area.
(MSHCP, Table 4-116.) The MSHCP also maintains Biological Corridors
and Linkages to ensure connectivity between Conservation Areas and with
Habitat outside the Plan Area, and implements biological monitoring and
Adaptive Management to identify threats and to ensure Conservation of
this species. (Ibid.) All of these actions will conserve this species in
perpetuity. (Ibid.) Conservation under the Plan includes 5,482 acres of
Core Habitat in the Stubbe and Cottonwood Canyons Conservation Area,
4,374 acres of Core Habitat in the Whitewater Canyon Conservation Area,
26,519 acres of Core Habitat in the Upper Mission Creek/Big Morongo
Canyon Conservation Area, 9,449 acres of Core Habitat in the Indio
Hills/Joshua Tree National Park Linkage Conservation Area, 125,453
acres of Core Habitat in the Joshua Tree National Park Conservation Area,
84,151 acres of Core Habitat in the Desert Tortoise and Linkage
Conservation Area, and 109,951 acres of Core Habitat in the Mecca
Hills/Orocopia Mountains Conservation Area. (MSHCP, Table 9-15.) The
MSHCP protects a total of 126,431 acres of Other Conserved Habitat in
fourteen Conservation Areas across a range of environmental conditions
within which the species occurs. (Ibid.) The total of Habitat for this
species to be conserved in the Reserve System is 491,8t0 acres, or 86% of
all desert tortoise Habitat in the Plan Area (97% of the designated Critical
Habitat in the eastern portion of the Plan Area). (MSHCP, Table 4-116.)
The Plan will also control and manage activities that degrade Habitat for
this species, such as OHV activity and other activities that can kill
individuals or damage their Habitat. (MSHCP, pp. 9-94 through 9-95.)
In addition, the Plan addresses recovery units within the Plan Area that
were identified by the Desert Tortoise Recovery Plan in 1994. (Final
Recirculated EIR/EIS, p. 4.7-34.) This Recovery Plan recommended
establishment of the Joshua Tree National Park Desert Wildlife
Management Area ("DWMA") and the Chuckwalla DWMA, both of
which fall within the Plan Area of the MSHCP. (Ibid.)
In addition, Section 4.4 of the MSHCP (Required Avoidance,
Minimization, and Mitigation Measures) provides additional Conservation
protection. That provision requires that, under most circumstances, the
Permittees will conduct surveys for desert tortoise before initiation of
Development activities in modeled desert tortoise Habitat within
Conservation Areas. (MSHCP, p. 4-170.) The Plan provides a specific
procedure for such surveys.
For Operations and Maintenance ("O&M") activities in the Conservation
Areas, personnel undertaking such activities are to be alert for the
presence of desert tortoise. (MSHCP, p. 4-171.) If a tortoise is spotted,
activities adjacent to the tortoise's location will be halted and the tortoise
will be allowed to move away from the activity area. (Ibid.) If the tortoise
is not moving, it will be relocated by an Acceptable Biolo�ist to nearby
15
,�
suitable Habitat and placed in the shade of a shrub. (Ibid.) To the
maximum extent Feasible, O&M activities will avoid the period from
February 15 and October 31. (Ibid.)
The Plan also has developed two utility development protocols (active
season and inactive season) to avoid or minimize potential adverse
impacts to the desert tortoise in the Conservation Areas from utility and
road right-of-way projects. (MSHCP, pp. 4-171 through 4-176.)
Based on the above, impacts to the desert tortoise are less than significant
and the benefits conferred by the Plan will protect adequate unfragmented
Habitat, maintain Essential Ecological Processes to sustain the Habitat,
and protect Biological Corridors and Linkages, as appropriate.
11. Impacts to the Coachella Valley fringe-toed lizard (Uma inornata).
Individuals occurring outside the Conservation Areas will be subject to
Take, including those occurring on the Big Dune. (Final Recirculated
EIR/EIS, p. 4.7-26.) Approximately 13,681 acres (51%) of all Habitat and
61% of non-Federal lands will be subject to Take Authorization under
Plan. (Ibid.) (MSHCP, Table 4-114.) There will be approximately 606
acres (5%) of Core Habitat subject to Take Authorization under the
MSHCP. (Final Recirculated EIR/EIS p. 4.7-26.)
Features of the MSHCP that will reduce Project Impacts. The
Coachella Valley fringe-toed lizard Recovery Plan was established in
1985, recommending over 50 measures that could be taken to lead to
recovery of the lizard. (Ibid.) The MSHCP will meet or exceed the
standards of this recovery plan by creating and implementing
Conservation measures in the Conservation Areas. (Final Recirculated
EIR/EIS, pp. 4.7-26 to -27.) The MSHCP will result in the Conservation
of 6,999 acres of modeled Habitat together with Existing Conservation
Land for a total of 12,998 acres conserved, including 11,245 acres (95%)
of Core Habitat. (MSHCP, Table 9-16; Table 4-116.). This includes 1,244
acres of Core Habitat in Snow Creek/Windy Point Conservation Area,
5,309 acres of Core Habitat in Whitewater Floodplain Conservation Area,
823 acres of Core Habitat at Willow Hole Conservation Area, and 3,869
acres of Core Habitat in Thousand Palms Conservation Area. (MSHCP,
Table 9-16.) In addition, the MSHCP will conserve 1,754 acres of Other
Conserved Habitat in five Conservation Areas, representing a range of
environmental conditions in which the species occurs. (MSHCP, Table
9-16.) The Plan will also conserve the scattered blowsand deposits and
occupied Habitat in the Indio Hills. (Final Recirculated EIR/EIS, pp. 4.7-
27 to -28.)
The Plan also employs measures to protect and maintain Essential
Ecological Processes for sand transport to the new Conservation Areas,
and provides Linkages between these Areas. (Final Recirculated EIR/EIS,
16
�
p. 4.7-29.) Furthermore, the Plan requires CVCC, CVAG and CalTrans to
acquire 1,795 acres for interchange and arterial road Covered Activities
listed in Table 7-1 of the MSHCP. (Final Recirculated EIR/EIS, p. 4.7-29.)
Adaptive Mana�ement implemented by the Plan includes several measures
that will forestall or prevent extirpation in a Conservation Area. (Ibid.)
Such measures include the establishment of "sand fences" to trap sand
upwind in armored Habitat and create blowsand hummocks for expansion
of the extant population. (Ibid.) Other measures which may be utilized as
appropriate include hauling sand upwind, destabilizing armored deposits
by physically removing vegetation and surface crusts, controlling exotic
plant species and feral animals, and re-introduction of fringe-toed lizards
into areas where they may be extirpated or into restored sites. (Ibid.)
Based on the above, impacts to the Coachella Valley fringe-toed lizard are
less than significant and the benefits conferred by the Plan will protect
adequate unfragmented Habitat, maintain Essential Ecological Processes
to sustain the Habitat, and protect Biological Corridors and Linkages, as
appropriate.
12. Impacts to flat-tailed horned lizard (Phrynosoma mcallic�. Individuals
occurring outside the Conservation Areas will be subject to Take,
including those occurring on the Big Dune. (Final Recirculated EIR/EIS,
p. 4.7-38.) Approximately 17,562 acres (54%) of all predicted Habitat,
65% of non-Federal predicted Habitat lands, 1,720 acres (33%) of all
potential Habitat and 41% of all potential Habitat on non-Federal lands
will be subject to Take under MSHCP. (Ibid.) There will be approximately
97 acres (2%) of Core Habitat subject to Take under the Plan. (Ibid.)
Features of the MSHCP that will reduce Project Impacts. The MSHCP
will result in the Conservation of 7,334 acres of modeled Habitat together
with Existing Conservation Land for a total of 13,908 acres conserved.
(MSHCP, Table 9-17.) Only one area of the MSHCP was delineated as
Core Habitat for this species, at the Thousand Palms Preserve. (MSHCP,
Table 9-17.) The Planning Team for this Plan delineated approximately
4,148 acres as Core Habitat. (Ibid.) Conservation Objectives ensure the
Conservation of at least 4,051 acres in the Thousand Palms Conservation
Area. (Ibrd.) In addition, the MSHCP will conserve approximately 587
acres of Other Conserved Habitat in East Indio Hills and 5,134 acres of
Other Conserved Habitat in Dos Palmas. (MSHCP, Tables 9-17.)
The MSHCP will also: Protect Other Conserved Habitat in a total of five
Conservation Areas representing the range of environmental conditions
wiihin which this species occurs; Ensure Conservation of Essential
Ecological Processes including sand source/transport systems; Maintain
Biological Corridors and Linkages among conserved populations or
17
31
Habitats; and Implement biological monitoring and Adaptive Management
to ensure Conservation of this species. (MSHCP, Table 4-t 16.)
Based on the above, impacts to the flat-tailed horned lizard are less than
significant and the benefits conferred by the Plan will protect adequate
unfragmented Habitat, maintain Essential Ecological Processes to sustain
the Habitat, and protect Biological Corridors and Linkages, as appropriate.
13. Impacts to the Yuma clapper rail (Rallus longirostris yumanensis).
Individuals occurring outside the Conservation Areas will be subject to
Take. (Final Recirculated EIR/EIS, p. 4.7-63.) Approximately 63 acres
(8%) of all Habitat and 13% of non-Federal lands will be subject to Take
under the Plan. (Ibid.)
Features of the MSHCP that will reduce Project Impacts. This bird is
found only in the Dos Palmas and Coachella Valley Stormwater Channel
and Delta Conservation Areas. Implementation of the Plan will provide for
persistence of the Yuma clapper rail within the Plan Area, as currently
unprotected portions of its Habitat and potential Habitat areas will be
conserved. (MSHCP, p. 9-129.) Ninety-one percent of the modeled
clapper rail Habitat will be conserved under the Plan. (MSHCP, Table
4-116.) The MSHCP will result in the Conservation of 426 acres of
modeled Habitat together with Existing Conservation Land for a total of
697 conserved acres. (Ibid.) In addition, the CVWD will establish 66 acres
of permanent replacement rail Habitat. (MSHCP, Table 4-116.)
Management and Monitoring activities will be implemented to ensure
Conservation of this species, including control of activities that degrade
Habitat. (Ibid.) Biological monitoring and Adaptive Management will be
implemented to ensure Conservation, and Essential Ecological Processes
will be protected, including the regimes necessary to maintain rail Habitat.
(Ibid.) Finally, because this rail is a California Fully Protected Species, the
required surveys will be conducted in accordance with law. (Ibid.)
Based on the above, impacts to the Yuma clapper rail are less than
significant and the benefits conferred by the Plan will protect adequate
unfragmented Habitat, maintain Essential Ecological Processes to sustain
the habitat, and protect Biological Corridors and Linkages, as appropriate.
14. Impacts to the California black rail (Latera!!us jamaicensis
coturniculus). Individuals occurring outside the Conservation Areas will
be subject to Take, including any occurring in the Coachella Valley
Stormwater Channel. (Final Recirculated EIR/EIS, p. 4.7-43.)
Approximately 59 acres (9%) of all Habitat and 13% of non-Federal lands
will be subject to Take under the Plan. (Ibid.)
Features of the MSHCP that will reduce Project Impacts. This bird is
found only in the Dos Palmas and Coachella Valley Stormwater Channel
18
3�
and Delta Conservation Areas. Implementation of the Plan will provide for
persistence of the California black rail within the Plan Area, as currently
unprotected portions of its Habitat and potential Habitat areas will be
conserved. (MSHCP, p. 9-135.) Ninety-one percent of the modeled
clapper rail Habitat will be conserved under the Plan. (MSHCP, Table
4-116.) The MSHCP will result in the Conservation of 386 acres of
modeled Habitat together with Existing Conservation Land for a total of
616 conserved acres. (Ibid.) In addition, the Coachella Valley Water
District ("CVWD") will establish 66 acres of permanent replacement rail
Habitat. Management and Monitoring activities would be implemented to
ensure Conservation of this species, including control of activities that
degrade Habitat. (Ibid.) Biological monitoring and Adaptive Management
will be implemented to ensure Conservation, and Essential Ecological
Processes will be protected, including hydrological regimes necessary to
maintain rail Habitat. (Ibid.) Finally, because this rail is a California Fully
Protected Species, the required surveys will be conducted in accordance
with law. (Ibid.)
Given the level of Conservation, which includes establishment of
permanent riparian Habitat and expansion of the marsh Habitat, a11
impacts are considered beneficial. Based on the above, impacts to the
California black rail are less than significant and the benefits conferred by
the Plan will protect adequate unfragmented Habitat, maintain Essential
Ecological Processes to sustain the Habitat, and protect Biological
Conidors and Linkages, as appropriate.
15. impacts to the burrowing owl (Athene cunicularia). Impacts to
burrowing owl are very difficult to predict, given the limited knowledge
on their distribution and abundance in the Plan Area, and their ability to
relocate when established nesting sites are lost, which are often in
agricultural and urban areas. (Final Recirculated EIR/EIS, p. 4.7-41.)
However, it is estimated that 45% of known locations for burrowing owl
will be subject to Take in areas compromised by fragmentation,
Development, and associated impacts. (MSHCP, Table 4-116.)
Features of the MSHCP that will reduce Project Impacts. The reserve
design process focused on inclusion of areas of contiguous Habitat in
areas where burrowing owls are known to occur. (MSHCP, Table 4-116.)
The MSHCP will result in the Conservation of 41 of the 74 known
locations of burrowing owl, which include foraging areas. (Ibid.) These
locations include areas in Snow Creek, Whitewater Floodplain Preserve,
the Mission Creek area west of Highway 62, the Willow Hole-Edom Hill
Preserve/ACEC area, the Thousand Palms Preserve, including the sand
source area, and significant portions of the Indio Hills and Mecca Hills.
(Ibid.) Overall the 723,480 acre Reserve System will contain sufficient
Habitat to maintain a viable population of burrowing owls within the Plan
Area. (Final Recirculated EIR/EIS, p. 4.7-41.)
l9
--,
J�
The Avoidance, Minimization, and Mitigation Measures listed in Section
4.4 of the MSHCP will minimize Take of burrowing owls. (Final
Recirculated EIR/EIS, p. 4.7-41.) In total, the Plan ensures the
Conservation of burrowing owls within nine Conservation Areas, and the
protection of Other Conserved Habitat in ten Conservation Areas.
(MSHCP, Table 4-116.) Biological monitoring and Adaptive Management
will also be implemented to ensure Conservation of this species. (Ibid.)
Based on the above, impacts to the burrowing owl are less than significant
and the benefits conferred by the Plan will protect adequate unfragmented
Habitat, maintain Essential Ecological Processes to sustain the Habitat,
and protect Biological Corridors and Linkages, as appropriate. Thus, no
mitigation measures are necessary.
16. Impacts to the Southwestern willow flycatcher (Empidonax traillii
extimus). Individuals occurring outside the Conservation Areas will be
subject to Take, including those in migratory Habitat east of the Coachella
Canal and in a small portion of Dos Palmas. (Final Recirculated EIR/EIS,
p. 4.7-53.) Approximately 168 acres (6%) of all breeding Habitat (1 l% on
non-Federal lands) and 15,351 acres (27%) of migratory Habitat (42% on
non-Federal lands) will be subject to Take under the MSNCP. (Ibid.)
Features of the MSHCP that will reduce Project Impacts. Ninety-four
percent of the modeled willow flycatcher breeding Habitat and 7]% of the
modeled willow flycatcher migratory Habitat is conserved under the Plan.
(MSHCP, Table 4-116.) Permittees will protect and manage 1,037 acres of
modeled breeding Habitat together with Existing Conservation Land for a
total of 2,563 acres of breeding Habitat conserved. (Ibid.) The MSHCP
will result in the Conservation of 19,534 acres of modeled migratory
Habitat together with Existing Conservation Land for a total of 40,846
acres of migratory Habitat conserved. (Ibid.) The Conservation Areas in
the Plan will protect 96% of the occupied and potential breeding Habitat
and 95% of the potential migratory Habitat for this species. (Ibid.)
The Plan will also provide permanent protection to riparian Habitat via
acquisition and management in several Conservation Areas and establish
permanent riparian Habitat in the Coachella Valley Stormwater Channel
and Delta Conservation Area. (Final Recirculated EIR/EIS, pp. 4.7-53 to -
54.) CVWD will establish 44 acres of permanent Sonoran cottonwood-
willow riparian forest in the Coachella Valley Stormwater Channel and
Delta Conservation area as described in Section 4.3.20 of the MSHCP.
(MSHCP, Table 4-116.) In addition, the Plan requires that, where
disturbance of a given number of acres of a riparian natural community is
authorized, an equivalent number of acres will be replaced to ensure that
no net loss occurs. (Ibid.)
20
3�
Implementation of biological monitoring and Adaptive Management wil]
also take place to ensure Conservation of the vireo. (Ibid.) Essential
Ecological Processes will also be protected, including hydrological
regimes necessary to maintain riparian Habitat. In addition, the Required
Avoidance, Minimization, and Mitigation Measures of Section 4.4 of the
MSHCP require that Covered Activities, including construction and O&M
activities, in riparian Habitat of the Cabazon, Stubbe and Cottonwood
Canyons, Whitewater Canyon, Upper Mission Creek/Big Morongo
Canyon, Thousand Palms, Indio Hills Palms, Joshua Tree National Park,
Mecca Hills and Orocopia Mountains, Dos Palmas, Coachella Valley
Stormwater Channel and Delta, and Santa Rosa and San Jacinto
Mountains Conservation Areas, will be conducted to the maximum extent
Feasible outside of the May 1 — September 15 nesting season for
Southwestern willow flycatcher. (MSHCP, pp. 4-169 to -170.) If Covered
Activities must occur during the nesting season, surveys shall be
conducted to determine if any active nests are present. (Ibid.) If active
nests are identified, the Covered Activity shall not be conducted within
200 feet of an active nest. (Ibid.) If surveys conducted during the nesting
season document that Covered nesting riparian bird Species are not
present, the Covered Activity may proceed. (Ibid.)
Based on the above, impacts to the Southwestern willow flycatcher are
less than significant and the benefits conferred by the Plan will protect
adequate unfragmented Habitat, maintain Essential Ecological Processes
to sustain the Habitat, and protect Biological Corridors and Linkages, as
appropriate.
17. Impacts to the crissai thrasher (Toxostoma crissale). Individuals
occurring outside the Conservation Areas will be subject to Take,
including those occurring on lands in the south portion of the valley near
the Salton Sea. (Final Recirculated EIR/EIS, p. 4.7-47.) Approximately
5,172 acres (75%) of all Habitat and 76% of non-Federal lands will be
subject to Take under the Plan. (Ibid.) There will be approximately 125
acres (9%) of Core Habitat subject to Take under the Plan. (Ibid.)
Features of the MSHCP that wi11 reduce Project Impacts. The MSHCP
will result in the Conservation of 1,418 acres of modeled Habitat together
with Existing Conservation Land for a total of 1,676 acres of land
conserved. (MSHCP, Table 4-116.) Approximately 91% of the Core
Habitat for this species will be conserved under the Plan, including 498
acres of occupied Habitat in Dos Palmas and 809 acres of occupied
Habitat in the Coachella Valley Stormwater Channel and Delta
Conservation Areas. (Ibid.; MSHCP, Table 9-22.) Implementation of the
Plan will provide for the Conservation of the unprotected portions of
crissal thrasher Habitat. (Ibid.)
21
35
The Required Avoidance, Minimization, and Mitigation Measures of
Section 4.4 of the MSHCP will also ensure Conservation of the species.
This section requires that, in the Willow Hole, Thousand Palms, Indio
Hills Palms, East Indio Hills, Dos Palmas, and Coachella Valley
Stormwater Channel and Delta Conservation Areas, surveys will be
conducted by an Acceptable Biologist prior to the start of construction
activities during the nesting season, January 15 — June 15, to determine if
active nest sites for this species occur on the construction site and/or
within 500 feet of the construction site, or to the edge of the property
boundary if less than 500 feet. (MSHCP, p. 4-170.) If nesting crissal
thrashers are found, a 500-foot buffer, or a buffer to the edge of the
property boundary if less than 500 feet, will be established around the nest
site. (Ibid.) The buffer will be staked and flagged. (Ibid.) No construction
activities will be permitted within the buffer during the breeding season of
January 15 —June 15 or until the young have fledged. (Ibid.)
The Plan will also: Protect Essential Ecological Processes including
hydrological regimes necessary to maintain thrasher Habitat; Maintain
Biological Corridors and Linkages for Habitat connectivity; and
Implement biological monitoring and Adaptive Management to ensure
Conservation of this species. (MSHCP, Table 4-116.)
Based on the above, impacts to the crissal thrasher are less than significant
and the benefits conferred by the Plan will protect adequate unfragmented
Habitat, maintain Essential Ecological Processes to sustain the Habitat,
and protect Biological Corridors and Linkages, as appropriate.
18. Impacts to t6e Le Conte's thrasher (Tozostoma lecontec�. Individuals
occurring outside the Conservation Areas will be subject to Take,
including those occurring on the Big Dune and the east end of the Indio
Hills. (Final Recirculated EIR/EIS, pp. 4.7-44 to -45.) Approximately
96,133 acres (40%) of all Habitat and 53% of non-Federal lands will be
subject to Take under the Plan. (Ibid.)
Features of the MSHCP that will reduce Project Impacts. Ninety-five
percent of the predicted Other Conserved Habitat for Le Conte's thrasher
will be conserved and 54% of the modeled Habitat will be conserved
under the Plan. (Final Recirculated MSHCP, Table 4-116.) The MSHCP
will result in the Conservation of 73,204 acres of modeled Habitat together
with Existing Conservation Land for a total of 132,456 acres of Other
Conserved Habitat in twenty Conservation Areas across a range of
environmental conditions within which the species occurs. (Final
Recirculated MSHCP, Table 4-116.)
Management and monitoring activities will ensure Conservation of this
species, including control of activities that degrade its Habitat. (MSHCP,
Table 4-116.) Biological Corridors and Linkages will be maintained for
22
�a �.�
Habitat connectivity and Essential Ecological Processes will be protected,
including hydrological regimes necessary to maintain thrasher Habitat.
(Ibid.)
In addition, the Required Avoidance, Minimization, and Mitigation
Measures of Section 4.4 of the MSHCP require that, prior to the start of
most construction activities in all Conservation Areas, surveys will be
conducted by an Acceptable Biologist on the construction site and within
500 feet of the construction site, or to the property boundary if less than
500 feet. (MSHCP, p. 4-176.) If nesting Le Conte's thrashers are found, a
500 foot buffer, or to the property boundary if less than 500 feet, will be
established around the nest site. The buffer will be staked and flagged.
(Ibid.) No construction will be permitted within the buffer during the
breeding season of January 15 - June 15 or until the young have fledged.
(Ibid.)
Based on the above, impacts to the Le Conte's thrasher are less than
significant and the benefits conferred by the Plan will protect adequate
unfragmented Habitat, maintain Essential Ecologicat Processes to sustain
the Habitat, and protect Biological Corridors and Linkages, as appropriate.
19. Impacts to t6e least Bell's vireo (Vireo bellii pusillus). Individuals
occurring outside the Conservation Areas will be subject to Take,
including those in migratory Habitat east of the Coachella Canal and in a
small portion of Dos Palmas. (Final Recirculated EIR/EIS, p. 4.7-51.)
Approximately 761 acres (21%) of all breeding Habitat (31% on non-
Federal lands) and 14,775 acres (25%) of migratory Habitat (41% on non-
Federal lands) will be subject to Take under the Plan. (Ibid.)
Features of the MSHCP that will reduce Project Impacts. Seventy-nine
percent of the modeled vireo breeding Habitat, and 71% of the modeled
vireo migratory Habitat will be conserved under the Plan. (MSHCP, Table
4-116.) The MSHCP will result in the Conservation of 1,282 acres of
modeled breeding Habitat together with Existing Conservation Land for a
total of 2,911 acres of breeding Habitat conserved. (Ibid.) The MSHCP
will result in the Conservation of 19,301 acres of modeled migratory
Habitat together with Existing Conservation Land for a total of 40,510
acres of migratory Habitat conserved. (Ibid.) The Plan will provide
permanent protection to riparian Habitat via acquisition and management
in several Conservation Areas and by establishment of permanent riparian
Habitat in the Coachella Valley Storm Channel and Delta Conservation
Area. (Final Recirculated EIR/EIS, p. 4.7-51.) CVWD will establish 44
acres of permanent Sonoran cottonwood-willow riparian forest in these
two areas. (MSHCP, Table 4-116.)
Implementation of biological monitoring and Adaptive Management will
also occur to ensure Conservation of the vireo. (Ibid.) Essential Ecological
23
��
Processes will also be protected, including hydrological regimes necessary
to maintain riparian Habitat. (Ibid.) In addition, the Required Avoidance,
Minimization, and Mitigation Measures of Section 4.4 of the MSHCP
require that Covered Activities, including construction and O&M
activities, in riparian Habitat of the Cabazon, Stubbe and Cottonwood
Canyons, Whitewater Canyon, Upper Mission Creek/Big Morongo
Canyon, Thousand Palms, Indio Hills Palms, Joshua Tree National Park,
Mecca Hills and Orocopia Mountains, Dos Palmas, Coachella Valley
Stormwater Channel and Delta, and Santa Rosa and San Jacinto
Mountains Conservation Areas, will be conducted to the maximum extent
Feasible outside of the March 15 — September 15 nesting season for least
Bell's vireo. (MSHCP, pp. 4-169 to -170.) If Covered Activities must
occur during the nesting season, surveys shall be conducted to determine if
any active nests are present. (Ibid.) If active nests are identified, the
Covered Activity shall not be conducted within 200 feet of an active nest.
(Ibid.) If surveys conducted during the nesting season document that
Covered nesting riparian bird Species are not present, the Covered
Activity may proceed. (Ibid.)
Based on the above, impacts to the least Bell's vireo are Iess than
significant and the benefits conferred by the Plan will provide permanent
protection to its riparian Habitat.
20. Impacts to the gray vireo (Yireo vicinior). Individuals occurring outside
the Conservation Areas will be subject to Take, including those occurring
in the Pinyon Flats area. (Final Recirculated EIR/EIS, p. 4.7-49.)
Approximately 3,913 acres (4%) of all Habitat and 18% of non-Federal
Iands will be subject to Take under the MSHCP. (Ibid.)
Features of the MSHCP that will reduce Project Impacts. Ninety-six
percent of the occupied or potential Habitat is conserved under the Plan.
(MSHCP, Table 4-116.) The MSHCP will result in the Conservation of
13,194 acres of modeled Habitat together with Existing Conservation
Land for a total of 101,544 conserved acres. (Ibid.) The MSHCP protects a
total of 30,519 acres of Other Conserved Habitat in Joshua Tree National
Park Conservation Area and 66,089 acres of Other Conserved Habitat in
Santa Rosa and San Jacinto Mountains Conservation Area. (MSHCP,
Table 9-25.)
Management and monitoring activities will ensure Conservation of this
species, including control of activities that degrade its Habitat. (MSHCP,
Table 4-116.) The Plan calls for coordination with federal agencies
regarding appropriate management prescriptions for Pinyon juniper
woodland and chaparral Habitats and control of brown-headed cowbird
nest parasitism. (Ibid.)
24
.�?�
Based on the above, the Plan will not have a significant impact on the gray
vireo.
21. Impacts to the yellow warbler (Dendroica petechia brewsterr).
Individuals occurring outside the Conservation Areas will be subject to
Take, including those in migratory Habitat east of the Coachella Canal and
in a small portion of Dos Palmas. (Final Recirculated EIR/EIS, p. 4.7-58.)
Approximately 168 acres (6%) of all breeding Habitat (11% on non-
Federal lands) and 15,371 acres (27%) of migratory Habitat (42% on non-
Federal lands) will be subject to Take under the Plan. (Final Recirculated
EIR/EIS, p. 4.7-59.)
Features of the MSHCP that will reduce Project Impacts. Ninety-four
percent of the modeled yellow warbler breeding Habitat and 71% of the
modeled yellow warbler migratory Habitat is conserved under the Plan.
(MSHCP, Table 4-116.) The Plan will ensure the protection and
management of 1,037 acres of modeled breeding Habitat together with
Existing Conservation Land for a total of 2,563 acres of breeding Habitat
conserved. (Ibid.) The MSHCP will result in the Conservation of 19,534
acres of modeled migratory Habitat to�ether with Existing Conservation
Land for a total of 40,846 acres of migratory Habitat conserved. (Ibid.)
The Plan will provide permanent protection to riparian Habitat via
acquisition and management in several Conservation Areas and by
establishment of permanent riparian Habitat in the Whitewater Storm
Channel and Delta Conservation Area. (Final Recirculated EIR/EIS, p.
4.7-59.) CVWD will establish 44 acres of permanent Sonoran
cottonwood-willow riparian forest in the Coachella Valley Stormwater
Channel and Delta Conservation area as described in Section 4.3.20 of the
MSHCP. (MSHCP, Table 4-116.) In addition, the Plan requires that,
where disturbance of a given number of acres of a riparian natural
community is authorized, an equivalent number of acres will be replaced
to ensure that no net loss occurs. (Ibid.)
Implementation of biological monitoring and Adaptive Management will
also take place to ensure Conservation of the yellow warbler. (Ibid.)
Essential Ecological Processes will also be protected, including
hydrological regimes necessary to maintain riparian Habitat. In addition,
the Required Avoidance, Minimization, and Mitigation Measures of
Section 4.4 of the MSHCP require that Covered Activities, including
construction and O&M activities, in riparian Habitat of the Cabazon,
Stubbe and Cottonwood Canyons, Whitewater Canyon, Upper Mission
CreekBig Morongo Canyon, Thousand Palms, Indio Hills Palms, Joshua
Tree National Park, Mecca Hills and Orocopia Mountains, Dos Palmas,
Coachella Valley Stormwater Channel and Delta, and Santa Rosa and San
Jacinto Mountains Conservation Areas, will be conducted to the maximum
extent Feasible outside of the May 1 — September 15 nesting season for
25
��
yellow warbler. (MSHCP, pp. 4-169 to -170.) If Covered Activities must
occur during the nesiing season, surveys shall be conducted to determine if
any active nests are present. (Ibid.) If active nests are identified, the
Covered Activity shall not be conducted within 200 feet of an active nest.
(Ibid.) If surveys conducted during the nesting season document that
Covered nesting riparian bird Species are not present, the Covered
Activity may proceed. (Ibid.)
Based on the above, impacts to the yellow warbler are less than significant
and the benefits conferred by the Plan will protect adequate unfragmented
Habitat, maintain Essential Ecological Processes to sustain the Habitat,
and protect Biological Corridors and Linkages, as appropriate.
22. Impacts to yellow-breasted chat (Icteria virens). Individuals occurring
outside the Conservation Areas will be subject to Take, including those in
migratory Habitat east of the Coachella Canal and in a small portion of
Dos Palmas. (Final Recirculated EIRIEIS, p. 4.7-61.) Approximately 168
acres (6%) of all breeding Habitat (11% on non-Federal lands) and 15,371
acres (27%) of migratory Habitat (42% on non-Federal lands) will be
subject to Take under the M5HCP. (Ibid.)
Features of the MSHCP tbat will reduce Project Impacts. Ninety-four
percent of the modeled chat breeding Habitat and 71% of the modeled chat
migratory Habitat is conserved under the Ptan. (MSHCP, Table 4-116.)
The Plan will ensure the protection and management of 1,160 acres of
modeled breeding Habitat together with Existing Conservation Land for a
total of 2,829 acres of breeding Habitat conserved. (Ibid.) The MSHCP
will result in the Conservation of 19,414 acres of modeled migratory
Habitat together with Existing Conservation Land for a total of 40,583

cottonwood-willow riparian forest in the Coachella Valley Stormwatcr
Channel and Delta Conservation area as described in Section 4.3.20 of the
MSHCP. (MSHCP, Table 4-116.) In addition, the Plan requires that,
where disturbance of a given number of acres of a riparian natural
community is authorized, an equivalent number of acres will be replaced
to ensure that no net loss occurs. (Ibid.)
Implementation of biological monitoring and Adaptive Management will
also take place to ensure Conservation of the yellow-breasted chat. (Ibid.)
Essential Ecological Processes will also be protected, including
hydrological regimes necessary to maintain riparian Habitat. (Ibid.) In
26
� O
addition, the Required Avoidance, Minimization, and Mitigation Measures
of Section 4.4 of the MSHCP require that Covered Activities, including
construction and O&M activities, in riparian Habitat of the Caba2on,
Stubbe and Cottonwood Canyons, Whitewater Canyon, Upper Mission
Creek/Big Morongo Canyon, Thousand Palms, Indio Hills Palms, Joshua
Tree National Park, Mecca Hills and Orocopia Mountains, Dos Palmas,
Coachella Valley Stormwater Channel and Delta, and Santa Rosa and San

extent Feasible outside of the May 1 — September 15 nesting season for
yellow-breasted chat. (MSHCP, pp. 4-169 to -170.) If Covered Activities
must occur during the nesting season, surveys shall be conducted to
determine if any active nests are present. (Ibid.) If active nests are
identified, the Covered Activity shall not be conducted within 200 feet of
an active nest. (Ibid.) If surveys conducted during the nesting season
document that Covered nesting riparian bird Species are not present, the
Covered Activity may proceed. (Ibid.)
Based on the above, impacts to the yellow-breasted chat are less than
significant and the benefits conferred by the Plan will protect adequate
unfragmented Habitat, maintain Essential Ecological Processes to sustain
the Habitat, and protect Biological Corridors and Linkages, as appropriate.
23. Impacts to the summer tanager (Piranga rubra). Individuals occurring
outside the Conservation Areas will be subject to Take, including those in
migratory Habitat east of the Coachella Canal and in a small portion of
Dos Palmas. (Final Recirculated EIR/EIS, p. 4.7-56.) Approximately 168
acres of all breeding Habitat and 15,371 acres of migratory Habitat will be
subject to Take under the Plan. (MSHCP, Table 4-114.)
Features of the MSHCP that will reduce Project Impacts. Ninety-four
percent of the modeled summer tanager breeding Habitat and 71% of the
modeled summer tanager migratory Habitat is conserved under the Plan.
(MSHCP, Table 4-116.) The MSHCP will result in the Conservation of
1,037 acres of modeled breeding Habitat together with Existing
Conservation Land for a total of 2,563 acres of breeding Habitat
conserved. (Ibid.) Permittees will also protect and manage 19,534 acres of
modeled migratory Habitat together with Existing Conservation Land for a
total of 40,846 acres of migratory Habitat conserved. (Ibid.)
The Plan will provide permanent protection to riparian Habitat via
acquisition and management in several Conservation Areas and by
establishment of permanent riparian Habitat in the Coachella Valley Storm
Channel and Delta Conservation Area. (Final Recirculated EIR/EIS, p.
4.7-57.) CVWD will establish 44 acres of permanent Sonoran
cottonwood-willow riparian forest in the Coachella Valley Stormwater
Channel and Delta Conservation area as described in Section 4.3.20 of the
MSHCP. (MSHCP, Table 4-116.) In addition, the Plan requires that,
27
� �
where disturbance of a given number of acres of a riparian natural
community is authorized, an equivalent number of acres will be replaced
to ensure that no net loss occurs. (Ibid.)
Implementation of biological monitoring and Adaptive Management will
also take place to ensure Conservation of the summer tanager. (Ibid.)
Essential Ecological Processes will also be protected, including
hydrological regimes necessary to maintain riparian Habitat. In addition,
the Required Avoidance, Minimization, and Mitigation Measures of
Section 4.4 of the MSHCP require that Covered Activities, including
construction and O&M activities, in riparian Habitat of the Cabazon,
Stubbe and Cottonwood Canyons, Whitewater Canyon, Upper Mission
Creek/Big Morongo Canyon, Thousand Palms, Indio Hills Palms, Joshua
Tree National Park, Mecca I-Iills and Orocopia Mountains, Dos Palmas,
Coachella Valley Stormwater Channel and Delta, and Santa Rosa and San
Jacinto Mountains Conservation Areas, will be conducted to the maximum
extent Feasible outside of the May 1 — September 15 nesting season for
summer tanager. (MSHCP, pp. 4-169 to -170.) If Covered Activities must
occur during the nesting season, surveys shall be conducted to determine if
any active nests are present. (Ibid.) If active nests are identified, the
Covered Activity shall not be conducted within 200 feet of an active nest.
(Ibid.) If surveys conducted during the nesting season document that
Covered nesting riparian bird Species are not present, the Covered
Activity may proceed. (Ibid.)
Based on the above, impacts to the summer tanager are less than
significant and the benefits conferred by the Plan will provide permanent
protection to its riparian Habitat.
24. Impacts to the Southern yellow bat (Lasiurus xanthinus). Individuals
occurring outside the Conservation Areas will be subject to Take,
including those occurring in isolated palm oases scattered throughout the
Plan Area. (Final Recirculated EIR/EIS, p. 4.7-75.) Approximately 78
acres (6%) of all Habitat and 9% of non-Federal lands will be subject to
Take under the Plan. (Ibid.)
Fcatures of the MSHCP that will reduce Project Impacts. Ninety-four
percent of the 1,329 acres of occupied or potential yellow bat Habitat is
conserved under the Plan. (Final Recirculated MSHCP, Table 4-116.) The
MSHCP will result in the Conservation of 590 acres of modeled Habitat
together with Existing Conservation Land for a total of 1,250 acres
conserved. (Ibid.)
The Plan will protect Essential Ecological processes including
hydrological regimes necessary to maintain fan palm oases and implement
biological monitoring and Adaptive Management to ensure Conservation
28
���
of yellow bat Habitat. (Ibid.) The Plan will also conserve occupied and
potential Habitat in native fan palm oases. (Ibid.)
Finally, existing wetland laws and CEQA requirements that protect the fan
palm oases could further reduce impacts to the southern yellow bat, if any
are expected to be minor and insignificant. (Final Recirculated EIR/EIS, p.
4.7-75.)
Based on the above, impacts to the Southern yellow bat are less than
significant.
25. Impacts to Coachella Valley round-tailed ground squirrel
(Spermophilus tereticaudus chlorus). Individuals occurring outside the
Conservaiion Areas wil] be subject to Take, including those occuning easi
of Desert Hot Springs, on the Big Dune and along the Coachella Canal
south of I-10. (Final Recirculated EIR/EIS, p. 4.7-69.) Approximately
61,243 acres (60%) of all Habitat and 69% of non-Federal lands will be
subject to Take under the MSHCP. (Ibid.) There will be approximately
1,319 acres (6%) of Core Habitat subject to Take under the Plan. (Ibid.)
Features of the MSHCP that will reduce Project Impacts. Ninety-four
percent of the Core Habitat for this ground squirrel will be conserved and
33% of the occupied or potential Habitat will be conserved under the Plan.
(MSHCP, Table 4-116.) The MSHCP wi11 result in the Conservation of
20,469 acres of modeled Habitat together with Existing Conservation
Land for a total of 33,826 acres conserved. (Ibid.)
Using the criteria set forth by the Scientific Advisory Committee, the
MSHCP has established Conservation Areas to proteci this species. (Final
Recirculated EIR/EIS, p. 4.7-70.) Four of these Conservation Areas
contain Core Habitat and 16 protect Other Conserved Habitat. (MSHCP,
Table 4-116.) The Conservation Areas are large enough to contain
hundreds of animals and are adequately connected to each other to allow
genetic exchange. (Final Recirculated EIR/EIS, p. 4.7-70.) The MS�ICP
ensures Conservation of Essential Ecological Processes including sand
source/sand transport systems; maintains Linkages among all conserved
populations; and implements biological monitoring and Adaptive
Management to ensure long-term persistence (MSHCP, Table 4-116.)
Because occupancy rates for this ground squirrel are high in mesquite
hummocks, it is therefore desirable to preserve the natural communities
with a mesquite component for this squirrel. (Final Recirculated EIR/EIS
p. 4.7-70.) Substantial stands of inesquite hummocks and dunes are
conserved within the Willow Hole and Thousand Palms Conservation
Areas. (Ibid.) As discussed in Section 8 of the Plan, the Monitoring
Program will include the use of appropriate methods and technologies
(which may change over time) to monitor groundwater levels in the
29
�. 3
Willow Hole, East Indio Hills, and Thousand Palms Conservation Areas
where a substantial lowering of the water table could have a significant
adverse impact on mesquite hummocks. (Ibid.) Should monitoring detect a
substantial lowering of the water table or a decline in mesquite health, the
Plan specifies procedures to be taken to ameliorate potentially significant
effects. (Ibid.)
Finally, Section 4.4 of the Plan requires that most Construction Activities
in Cabazon, Willow Hole, Thousand Palms, Indio Hills Palms, East Indio
Hills, Dos Palmas, Coachella Valley Stormwater Channel and Delta, and
Santa Rosa and San Jacinto Mountains Conservation Areas avoid
mesquite hummocks and mesquite bosque to the maximum extent
Feasible. (MSHCP, p. 4-176).
Based on the above, impacts to the Coachella Valley round-tailed ground
squirrel are less than significant and the benefits conferred by the Plan will
protect adequate unfragmented Habitat, maintain Essential Ecological
Processes to sustain the Habitat, and protect Biological Corridors and
Linkages, as appropriate.
26. Impacts to the Palm Springs pocket mouse (Perognathus longimembris
bangsr�. Individuals occurring outside the Conservation Areas will be
subject to Take, including those occurring east of Desert Hot Springs, on
the Big Dune, between the southern Indio Hills and the Little San
Bernardino Mountains, east of the Coachella Canal south of I-10 and in
the North Shore area. (FinaI Recirculated EIR/EIS, p. 4.7-72.)
Approximately 75,304 acres (53%) of all Habitat and 62% of non-Federal
lands will be subject to Take under the MSHCP. (Ibid.) There will be
approximately 1,993 acres (7%) of Core Habitat subject to Take under the
Plan. (Ibid.)
Features of the MSHCP that wilt reduce Project Impacts. Ninety-three
percent of the Core Habitat for the pocket mouse will be conserved and
40% of the occupied or potential Habitat is conserved under the Plan.
((MSHCP, Table 4-116.) This includes protection of 77% of the known
occurrences for the mouse. The MSHCP will result in the Conservation of
35,605 acres of modeled Habitat together with Existing Conservation
Land for a total of 56,856 acres conserved. (MSHCP, Table 4-I 16.)
The Plan will ensure Conservation of Core Habitat within five
Conservation Areas; Protect Other Conserved Habitat in 16 Conservation
Areas through adherence to other Conservation Objectives; Ensure
Conservation of Essential Ecological Processes including sand
source/sand transport system; Maintain Linkages among all conserved
populations; and Implement biological monitoring and Adaptive
Management to ensure long-term persistence. (Ibid.) Tmplementation of
the Plan will maintain and enhance population viability of the Palm
30
���
Springs pocket mouse which cunently receives no protection outside of
the existing Coachella Valley Fringe-Toed Lizard Preserve System. (Ibid.)
Management and monitoring prescriptions will further enhance long-term
Conservation of this species. (Ibid.)
In addition, the Required Avoidance, Minimization, and Mitigation
Measures of Section 4.4 of the MSHCP require that Covered Activities,
including Flood Control-related construction activities, avoid impacts to
the Palm Springs pocket mouse and its habitat in the Upper Mission
CreekBig Morongo Canyon and Willow Hole Conservation Areas, related
to clearing, translocation, revegetation, and trapping and holding.
(MSHCP, pp. 4-177 to -178.)
27. Impacts to Peninsular Bighorn Sheep (Ovis Canadensis nelsonr�.
Approximately 6,533 acres (3%) of all Habitat for the Peninsular Bighorn
Sheep ("PBS") and 6% of non-Federal lands would be subject to Take
under the MSHCP. (Final Recirculated EIR/EIS, p. 4.7-65.) Habitat
impacts outside the Conservation Areas wouid occur primarily in the
Pinyon Flats area under the MSHCP. (Ibid.)
Features of the MSHCP that will reduce Project Impacts. Ninety-six
percent of the Essential Habitat for the PBS will be conserved under the
Plan. (MSHCP, Table 4-116.) The MSHCP will result in the Conservation
of 30,226 acres of modeled Habitat together with Existing Conservation
Land for a total of 165,856 acres conserved. (Ibid.)
The Plan contains several management strategies designed to avoid Take
of the PBS. First, the Plan will protect Essential Habitat for the PBS as
delineated in the final Recovery Plan for PBS in the Peninsular Ranges,
California (USFWS 2000). (Ibid.) Second, the Plan contains measures to
control and manage activities that degrade PBS Essential Habitat within
the Conservation area. (Ibid.) This could include human disturbance,
Habitat fragmentation, and edge effects. (Ibid.) Third, the Plan provides
mechanisms to reduce impacts from invasive species. (Ibid.) Fourth, fire
management guidelines may be developed where necessary. (Ibid.) Fifth,
restoration and enhancement of degraded Habitat are options that may be
used. (Ibid.) And finally, Section 4.4 of the MSHCP (Required Avoidance,
Minimization, and Mitigation Measures) contains further avoidance
requirements. That section states that completion of Covered Activities in
PBS Habitat in the Cabazon, Snow Creek/Windy Point, and Santa Rosa
and San Jacinto Mountains Conservation Areas will be conducted outside
of the January 1 - June 30 lambing season unless otherwise authorized
throu�h a Minor Amendment to the Plan with concurrence from the
V�ildlife Agencies. (MSHCP, Table 4-116.) O&M of Covered Activities,
including but not limited to refinishing the inside of water storage tanks,
shall be scheduled to avoid the lambing season, but may extend into the
31
� �
January 1 — June 30 period if necessary to complete the activity, upon
concurrence with the Wildlife Agencies. (MSHCP, p. 4-176.)
Section 4.4 further states that for new projects in the aforementioned
Conservation Areas, no toxic or invasive plant species may be used for
landscaping. (Ibid.) For existing public infrastructure facilities which have
landscaping in PBS Habitat in the Cabazon, Snow Creek/Windy Point, and
Santa Rosa and San Jacinto Mountains Conservation Areas, the Permittees
who have such facilities will, with respect to those facilities, develop and
implement a plan and schedule to remove or prevent access to oleander
and any other plants known to be toxic to PBS. (MSHCP, pp. 4-176 to -
177.) The plan and schedule will be prepared within one (1) year of Permit
issuance. (MSHCP, p. 4-177.)
The majority of the Santa Rosa and San Jacinto Mountains Conservation
Area, a Conservation Area listed by the Recovery Plan for the PBS as a
recovery region, is subject to the Habitat Evaluation and Acquisition
Negotiation Strategy ("HANS") process described in Section 6.6.1.2 of the
Plan. The HANS process is to be utilized to ensure that all Development
complies with the Conservation Goals and Objectives of the MSHCP for
conserving Essential Habitat and alleviating threats to the Plan Area
population. ( MSHCP, pp. 6-21 through 6-30; Table 4-116.)
In addition, Land Use Adjacency Guidelines set forth in Section 4.5 of the
Plan establish parameters by which potential impacts to PBS and their
Habitat will be judged. These include adverse alterations to natural
drainages, introduction of toxic or hazardous materials, light and noise,
and the introduction of toxic and invasive plants. (MSHCP, pp. 4-178 to -
183.)
Finally, the Species Objectives for PBS (Section 9.8.4.1 of the MSHCP)
include ensuring that implementation of the MSHCP is consistent with the
recovery strategy in the Recovery Plan to the maximum extent feasible.
(Final Recirculated EIR/EIS, p. 4.7-67.)
Based on the above, impacts to the PBS are less than significant and the
benefits conferred by the Plan will provide permanent protection to its
Habitat.
Revised Trails Plan. To ensure that recreational disturbance does not
significantly affect Peninsula Bighorn Sheep ("PBS"), the Revised Trails Plan in
the Santa Rosa and San Jacinto Mountains Conservation Area has adopted an
Adaptive Management approach with an emphasis on research. (MSHCP, §
7.3.3.2) The Trails Plan will focus on multi-agency scientific data gathering to
evaluate the effects of recreation trail use on PBS health, habitat selection, and
long-term population dynamics. (Ibid) The overarching goal of this research
32
`t �P
program is to obtain empirical data from the Plan Area to guide future trails
construction and management. (Ibid.)
Because there is no established causative link between recreational use and
impacts to PBS at the time of Project adoption, the Monitoring Program will be
used to further evaluate the effects of recreational trail use on PBS within
essential PBS Habitat in the Santa Rosa and San Jacinto Mountains, and to
propose standards to ensure that any potential future impacts are below a level of
significance. (Final Recirculated EIR/EIS, pp. 5-16 through 5-25.)
The Monitoring Program will provide empirical data to inform decisions about
future trails Management Program actions that complement PBS recovery and
benefit or enhance PBS Conservation for the trail use as set forth in the Revised
Trails Plan. (Ibid.) The components of the Monitoring Program will be designed
to preclude potentially significant adverse effects on biological resources, as they
will be constructed to serve as a mitigation strategy for any potentially adverse
effects from trail use. (Ibid.)
The Monitoring Program will help provide detail on the levels and type of trail
use in the study area, primarily by the development and implementation of a self-
permit system. (Ibid.) The system will focus on evaluation of the use of
recreational trails by hikers, equestrians, and mountain bikers as it relates to
habitat use by PBS. (Ibid.) The Monitoring Program will increase the amount of
currently available data regarding periodic documentation of trail use, provide
ongoing population surveys of PBS on an annual basis, and provide other data for
consideration by the Trails Management Subcommittee that could result in trails
management actions to reduce any impacts to PBS or their Habitat. (Ibid.)
Hot season trail closures of designated trails between June 15th and September
30th will avoid significant impacts to PBS and their access to essential water
sources during the hottest and driest times of the year. (Ibid.) These closures will
be beneficial to biological resources, especially PBS, that might otherwise avoid
important water sources during this period of greatest need. (Ibid.)
Proposals to construct perimeter trails and other new trails, including the Palm
Desert to La Quinta Connector Trail, would be deferred until the research
program has been completed and potential impacts, if any, can be analyzed and
addressed. (Final Recirculated EIR/EIS, p. 2-31.) Unless research results show
that recreational trail use would adversely impact PBS health, demography,
population sustainability, and population connectivity, construction of the
perimeter trails and other new trails, including the Palm Desert to La Quinta
Connector Trail, could be initiated after appropriate CEQA/NEPA review. (Ibid.)
This deferral will ensure that trail conditions (e.g., use levels) are consistent once
the Monitoring Program is initiated. (Ibid.)
Existing trailhead facilities will be used whenever possible. (Final Recirculated
EIR/EIS, p. 2-35.) Future proposals for new trails on Reserve Lands in the Santa
33
�-E �
Rosa and San Jacinto Mountains Conservation Area, other than the identified
trails described herein, would be addressed on a case-by-case basis, subject to
existing regulations, policies, and land management plans. (Final Recirculated
EIR/EIS, p. 2-32.) If approved for construction, perimeter trails would generally
run parallel to and not rise more than 200 feet above the toe of slope, except
where necessary to avoid residential or other developed areas or topographically
inaccessible terrain. (Ibid.) No perimeter trails will be constructed within 1/4 mile
of wildlife water sources and, where possible, will incorporate topographic
variability. (Final Recirculated EIR/EIS, p. 2-33.)
The public awareness and education program will enhance cooperation and
participation in the self-permitting program of the Revised Trails Plan through the
monitoring and management of trail use. (Final Recirculated EIR/EIS, p. 5-22.)
Wildlife managers will consistently track trail use and impacts, if any, to PBS,
and require immediate action to be undertaken if specified PBS population
numbers are reduced to specified thresholds. (Final Recirculated EIR/EIS p. 2-
37.) In the event a ewe group reaches 15 individuals or fewer, responsible pariies
shall meet and consult on whether to close, reduce use or otherwise regulate
related trails. (Ibid.) In the event a ewe group reaches 5 individuals or fewer,
responsible parties shall immediately close related trails, and shall meet and
consult on future trail use and/or otherwise regulate related trails. (Ibid.) These
actions will ensure that disturbance to PBS from recreational use, if any, will
cease immediately.
Trail rerouting, including the Art Smith and Mirage Trails, will be designed to
protect sensitive resource values (e.g., cultural resources, wildlife Habitat, soils)
where feasible. (Final Recirculated EIR/EIS, pp. 5-45.) After coordination
between the CVCC and federal and state wildlife agencies, redundant trails wiil
be removed to reduce any current impacts in these areas. (Ibid.) Trails and trail
segments on certain State lands will also be decommissioned and removed,
thereby reducing trail use impacts in sensitive Habitat areas. (Ibid.) Rerouting and
decommissioning of trails will occur following approval of a specific project by
the appropriate project lead agency and these actions would have to meet NEPA
and CEQA requirements. (Ibid.) Thus, impacts associated with deferring the
rerouting, decommissioning, and removal of trails will be less than significant.
(Ibid.)
Dogs may disturb PBS and its habitat through intimidation, trail usage and
excrement. Therefore, dogs would be allowed in designated areas only. (Final
Recirculated EIR/EIS, p. 5-46.) An educational kiosk at each designated dog
walking area will inform dog owners about basic PBS ecology and behavior, as
well as potential threats to PBS due to the presence of dogs. (Final Recirculated
EIR/EIS, p. 5-46.)
The implementation of the Plan will therefore ensure that any potential impacts to
PBS from the Revised Trails Plan are maintained below a level of significance.
34
._i �.�
E. Cultural Resources
The MSHCP involves detailed Conservation planning, management and
monitoring within Conservation Areas, which will enhance the Conservation of
cultural resources by precluding Development that may impact those resources.
(Final Recirculated EIR/EIS, p. 4.9-9.) All conditionally compatible uses,
including future planning and development of trails, trailheads, and interpretive
facilities (i.e. information kiosks) must fotlow guidetines specified in the Plan that
will protect cultural resources. (Ibid.) In addition, certain Allowable Uses in the
Reserve System, including activities associated with reserve management,
monitoring and scientific research, will not result in any significant land
disturbance. (Ibid.) Thus, the Plan will not generate adverse impacts on sensitive
cultural resources. (Ibid.) Accordingly, there are no significant impacts to cultural
resources from the MSHCP.
Revised Trails Plan. New trails proposed for construction under the Revised
Trails Plan have the potential to affect cultural resources. (Final Recirculated
EIR/EIS, p. 5-59.) Several proposed trails may pass through areas with varying
potential to affect cultural resources. (Final Recirculated EIR/EIS, pp. 5-59
through 5-60.)
Implementation of the provisions of the MSHCP in conjunction with trails
planning will avoid adverse impacts to sensitive cultural resources and ensure that
such potential impacts are maintained below a level of significance. (Fina!
Recirculated EIR/EIS, pp. 5-59 to -60.)
Rerouting trails to avoid areas identified as sensitive by Native Americans or that
contain historic properties will avoid impacts and in fact have a positive effect on
cultural resources. (Final Recirculated EIR/EIS, p. 5-59.) Prior to making
recommendations for decommissioning and removing trails in the Santa Rosa and
San Jacinto Mountains Conservation Area, an inventory of all trails in the
Conservation Area will occur. (Final Recirculated EIR/EIS, p. 5-60.) The
determination of which trails would be decommissioned or removed will be made
following this inventory. (Final Recirculated EIR/EIS, pp. 5-60 through 5-61.)
Thus, if an action under any of the public access and use alternatives has the
potential to affect historic properties, cultural resources review will be needed
before the action may be implemented. (Final Recirculated EIR/EIS, p. 5-56.)
Literature reviews, field surveys and data recovery may be required where
appropriate. (Final Recirculated EIR/EIS, p. 5-56.)
Public Education programs would help fully inform the public of the resource
issues at risk, and would provide the public with useful information so as to
maximize the effectiveness of the Revised Trails Plan. (Final Recirculated
EIR/EIS, p. 5-22.)
The implementation of the Plan will thus ensure that potential impacts to PBS are
maintained below a level of significance.

F. Environmental Justice
Since its inception, the MSHCP planning process has been open to the public in
an effort to disseminate information, solicit comments, and provide opportunities
for public input. (Final Recirculated EIR/EIS, pp. 4.9-27 through 4.9-28.) Three
public scoping meetings, which were fully noticed in local newspapers and
mailings to public interest groups and potentially affected landowners, were held
in 2000 in the western, central, and eastern portions of the Coachella Valley.
(Ibid.) More than a dozen meetings were held by the BLM to solicit input and
feedback from special interest groups. (Ibid.) All meetings of the Project
Advisory Group ("PAG"), which met approximately once a month from 1998
through 2005, have been open to the public. (Ibid.)
The primary objectives of the proposed Plan are: (1) to preserve undeveloped,
uninhabited open space lands, which can be used to create large, interconnected
preserves for sensitive species and their Habitats, and (2) to standardize
mitigation/compensation measures for the Covered Species in a manner that
satisfies applicable Federal and State laws pertaining to Endangered Species
protection. (Ibid.; MSHCP, § 1.2.) The Plan Area includes City and County lands
in Eastern Riverside County believed necessary to achieve these goals, and it does
not target or exclude any community or parcel of land based on demographic or
income characteristics. (Final Recirculated EIR/EIS p. 4.9-28.) No Indian
Reservations are subject to the MSHCP. The MSHCP will not result in any
adverse, direct or disproportionate impacts to minorities or minority populations,
low income populations, concentrated Native American populations or children.
(Final Recirculated EIR/EIS, pp. 4.9-24 through 4.9-28.)
Therefore, no significant impacts to minority populations, low income
populations, Native American populations, or children will result from
implementation of ihe MSHCP.
G. Geology and Soils
While the Plan does provide for minimal building (i.e. information kiosks) and
potentially provides for minimal soil disturbance (i.e. trail construction), the
MSHCP does not allow Development that would otherwise not be permitted in
areas where geologic hazards occur. (Final Recirculated EIR/EIS, p. 4.9-].) In
fact, the MSHCP will reduce the exposure to geologic hazards by acquiring lands
for Conservation. (Ibid.) Existing General Plans, zoning ordinances, building
codes, and environmental review policies, standards, and requirements will
remain in effect under the MSHCP to ensure that any Development in
Conservation Areas will assess potential hazards and impacts and enforce relevant
laws and regulations. (Ibid.) Accordingly, impacts on soils and geology are less
than significant.
H. Hazards and Hazardous Materials
36
c—
��
The MSHCP does not require or promote the transport, use, or disposal of
hazardous materials. (Final Recirculated EIR/EIS, pp. 4.9-28 through 4.9-29.)Nor
will the Plan facilitate a hazardous release of materials, substances or waste.
(Final Recirculated EIR/EIS p. 4.9-29.) Likewise, the Ptan will not directly
involve the building of any structure on a site which is included in the list of
hazardous materials sites compiled pursuant to Government Code Section
65962.5, creating a significant hazard to the public or the environment. (Ibid.) In
addition, as a Conservation Plan, the Plan does not facilitate the Development of
residences or buildings related to an airport tand use plan area or airstrip, nor does
the Plan cater to any involvement of persons residing or working in such areas.
(Final Recirculated EIR/EIS p. 4.9-30.) As such, the Plan will not result in a
safety hazard for people residing or working within an airport land use plan area
or within the vicinity of a private airstrip. (Ibid.) Nor does the Plan allow for or
impair an adopted emergency response plan. (Ibid.) Finally, the Plan will not
expose people or structures to a significant risk of loss, injury or death involving
wildland fires, including where wildlands aze adjacent to urbanized areas or where
residences are intermixed with wildlands. (Ibid.)
Management of the Reserve System will entail the limited use and storage of
herbicides and pesticides to control exotic or invasive non-native plant and animal
species. (Final Recirculated EIR/EIS 4.9-29.) This use and storage is an allowable
use which would be overseen by the appropriate Reserve Management Unit
Committee and would comply with all applicable laws and regulations. (Ibid.)
Because the implementation of the MSHCP will not pose or create a significant
threat or hazard, nor expose the public to significant hazardous or toxic materials,
no mitigation measures are required.
I. Hydrology and Water Quality
Existing alluvial fans and floodplains in the Coachella Valley have previously
been selected and developed for large-scale groundwater recharge activities.
(Final Recirculated EIR/EIS, p. 4.6-4.) The MSHCP ensures, rather than
interferes with, the continued functioning of these activities in several ways. For
example, the MSHCP provides Take Authorization for CVWD planned
groundwater recharge facilities and the continued operation of its existing
groundwater recharge facilities within the Plan Area. (Ibid.) CVWD must
conserve the lands within the Whitewater Floodplain Preserve in perpetuity, and
also cooperate with CVCC in the Conservation of other CVWD lands in the
Conservation Areas. (Final Recirculated EIR/EIS, p. 4.6-4.)
In addition, the Plan provides Take Authorization for the Operation and
Maintenance of levees and flood control channels within the Conservation Areas
to ensure that Plan implementation does not expose people or structures to
significant risk of loss, injury, or death from flooding, including flooding as a
result of the failure of a levee or dam. (Final Recirculation EIR/EIS 4.6-5.)
Further, the Plan will not in itself permit housing within a 100-year flood hazard
37
5 �
as mapped on a federal Flood Hazard Boundary or Flood Insurance Rate Map or
other flood hazard delineation map. (Ibrd.) Nor will the Plan itself permit
structures which would impede or redirect flood flows within a 100-year flood
hazard area, or create or contribute runoff water which would exceed the capacity
of existing or planned storm water drainage systems or provide substantial
additional sources of polluted runoff. (Ibid.)
The Plan also will not contribute to inundation by seiche, tsunami, mud or debris
flow since it will not create any physical changes that would cause or contribute
to such inundation. (Ibid.) In contrast, the Plan will conserve many floodplain
areas, thus reducing the potential for structures to be built in these areas. (Ibid.)
Also, through Reserve Assembly, the MSHCP will not substantially alter any
existing drainage pattern in a manner that would result in substantial erosion or
siltation on- or off-site, nor in a manner that would substantially deplete
groundwater supplies or interfere substantially with groundwater recharge such
that there would be a net-deficit in aquifer volume or a lowering of the local
groundwater table level. (Final Recirculated EIR/EIS, p. 4.6-6.) Because the
MSHCP will conserve many floodplain areas, it will reduce the potential for
structures to be built in such areas. (Final Recirculated EIR/EIS, p. 4.6-5.)
The MSHCP also does not propose any significant change to existing or planned
flood control projects or facilities. Nor will the MSHCP affect existing regulations
for Development on mapped floodplains which are intended to reduce risk to lives
or property. (Final Recirculated EIR/EIS, p. 4.6-6.)
For the above reasons, the MSHCP will not conflict with but rather facilitates the
requirements of federal agencies to act to reduce risk of flood loss and minimize
impacts to human safety, health and welfare, and to restore the natural and
beneficial values of floodplains. (Final Recirculated EIR/EIS, p. 4.6-7.)
For the foregoing reasons, the MSHCP will not violate any water quality
standards or waste discharge requirements, nor impede groundwater recharge.
Therefore, no significant impacts to hydrology and water quality wiIl result from
implementation of the MSHCP.
J. Land Use and Planning
The general plan land use designation information utilized by the MSHCP is
based in part on the GIS land use designation information for the Plan Area
provided to CVAG from the Southern California Association of Governments
("SCAG"). SCAG based its map on the information largely provided it by
member cities.
Utilizing this information provided by SCAG, the MSHCP was designed to avoid
conflicts with any plans adopted for the purpose of avoiding or mitigating an
environmental effect. (Final Recirculated EIR/EIS, p. 4.2-6.) The MSHCP also
does not change existing general plan land use designations. In fact, several
38
J�o�
components of the Plan ensure that the Plan is consistent with general land use
designations and that neither the CVCC nor the Wildlife Agencies will have
decision-making authority over land use decisions. The Wildlife Agencies may,
but are not required to, submit comments on proposed projects in the
Conservation Areas through the Joint Project Review process. (MSHCP, pp. 6-19
through 6-21.) The design of the Conservation Areas of the MSHCP took into
account the General Plan land use designations of the Local Permittees, and
approximately 91% of the land in the Conservation Areas has an Open Space
designation to conserve open space resources. (Final Recirculated EIR/EIS, p.
4.2-6.)
The proposed Plan is also consistent and compatible with the objectives of local,
State, regional and Federal agencies, and tribal land use plans, policies and
controls for the Plan Area through ongoing consultation and coordination. (Final
Recirculated EIR/EIS, p. 4.2-7.) Based upon the coordinated and integrated
nature of the MSHCP, impacts to Federal, state, regional, local, or tribal land use
plans, policies, or controls are considered to be less than significant for CEQA
analysis purposes. (Ibid.)
Because the distribution of the Conservation Areas accommodates the physical
integrity of the communities, the MSHCP does not contribute towards the
physical separation of a community. (Ibid.) The one potential exception is due to
the Upper Mission CreekBig Morongo Canyon Conservation Area, which adjoins
the existing urbanized portion of Desert Hot Springs and creates a separation
between it and future planned Development. (Ibid.) The separation, however,
ranges between 0.25 miles and 0.5 miles and follows the Morongo Wash
floodplain area, which already constitutes a natural separation. (Ibid.) The
proposed Plan also provides Take Authorization for major roads that connect the
two portions of the city. (Ibid.) Additionally, a trail system is allowed in the
Conservation Area and would serve as an amenity to help unite the two areas of
the city. (Ibid.)
The MSHCP does not conflict with any applicable habitat conservation plan or
natural community conservation plan. (Ibid.; Final Recirculated EIR/EIS � 4.8.J
Based on the above, no significant impacts to land use will result from
implementation of the MSHCP.
Revised Trails Plan. Proposed new trails have been carefully sited to largely stay
within public lands and/or rights of way. (Final Recirculated EIR/EIS, p. 5-12.)
However, proposals to construct perimeter trails and other new trails wi11 be
deferred until the initial phase of the monitoring and research program has been
completed. (Final Recirculated EIR/EIS, p. 5-13.) This approach will ensure that
trail conditions (e.g., use levels) are consistent once the research and monitoring
programs are initiated. (Ibid.) Thus the Revised Trails Plan does not conflict with
any plans adopted for the purpose of avoiding or mitigating an environmental
effect, and impacts are less than significant.
39
�3
The development of the Revised Trails Plan has involved close coordination with
local jurisdictions and state and federal agencies to assure that the Revised Trails
Plan is consistent and compatible with the objectives of local, state, regional and
federal agencies, and tribal land use plans, polices and controls for the Santa Rosa
and San Jacinto Mountains. (Final Recirculated EIR/EIS, pp. 5-13.) Based upon
the coordinated and integrated nature of the Revised Trails Plan, impacts to
federal, state, regional, local, or tribal land use plans, policies, or controls are less
than significant. (Final Recirculated EIR/EIS, p. 5-13.)
The Revised Trails Plan also does not result in the physical separation of a
community. Most of the trail alignments within the Revised Trails Plan are
outside currently developed areas and do not intrude into existing or planned
urban Development. (Ibid.)
The Revised Trails Plan also does not conflict with any applicable habitat
conservation plan or natural community conservation plan. (Ibid.)
The construction and use of new perimeter trails described in Element 5 of the
Proposed Trail Plan will be a Covered Activity unless research results indicate
that these trails would adversely affect bighorn sheep. Current analysis indicates
that these perimeter trails would not substantially impact Peninsular bighorn
sheep populations, nor result in Take. The element provides for additional
research through Element 2 to further analyze impacts to Peninsular bighorn
sheep from recreational trail use, thereby confirming and expanding upon
previous impact assessments. Proposals to construct perimeter trails and other
new trails, including the Palm Desert to La Quinta Connector Trail, would be
deferred. This deferral would ensure that trail conditions (e.g., use levels) are as
consistent as possible once the research and monitoring programs are initiated.
Construction of these new trails could be initiated as soon as feasible, depending
on funding availability and acquisition of easements or other authorizations, and
completion of applicable NEPA and CEQA requirements and upon results of
research and the effect upon PBS. (Final Recirculated EIR/EIS pp. 5-21 to 5-22.)
Future proposals for new trails on Reserve Lands in the Santa Rosa and San
Jacinto Mountains Conservation Area, other than the identified trails described
herein, would be addressed on a case-by-case basis, subject to existing
regulations, policies, and land management plans. Such future trail proposals
would require a Minor Amendment to the Plan with Wildlife Agency
concunence. Impacts associated with deferring ihe construction of new trails are
expected to be less than significant for CEQA analysis purposes. (Final
Recirculated EIR/EIS, p. 5-22.) Several proposed alternative alignments to the
Palm Desert to La Quinta Connector Trail could have a significant adverse impact
on land use. (Final EIR/EIS, pp. 5-19 through 5-21.) The Palm Desert to La
Quinta Connector Trail will be deferred pending completion of a focused research
program to evaluate the effects of recreational trail use on wild sheep in the
Conservation Area and a subsequent research program evaluating the effects of
this portion of the Connector Trail on captive sheep at the Bighorn Institute.
40
J�
(Final EIR/EIS, p. 5-22.) If significant adverse impacts to native and/or captive
breeding populations result as determined through the research program described
in Element 2, and feasible mitigation measures cannot be implemented to reduce
this impact, then all or a portion of this trail as originally proposed will not be
constructed. (Ibid.) Subsequent CEQA and/or NEPA analysis of the connector
trail will also be conducted. (Ibid.)
K. Mineral Resources
The MSHCP may result in the potential loss of a mineral resource (sand and
gravel) within the Plan Area, or may result in the loss of availability of wind
energy to the region.
However, impacts to mineral resources under the MSHCP will be less than
significant. First, the Conservation Areas were designed to minimize inclusion of
mining operations, thus allowing continued mineral extractions. (Final
Recirculated EIR/EIS, p. 4.4-2.) In the Plan Area, there are 17,527 acres that have
been designated as Mineral Resource Zone 2 ("MRZ-2"). (Ibid.) Of this acreage,
ten thousand acres of Mineral Resource Zone 2 (lands containing significant
mineral deposits) are included in the Conservation Areas, including 1,983
Federally owned acres, 921 acres of non-Federal Existing Conservation Land, and
1,051 acres which have been approved for mining and will receive Take
Authorization under the MSHCP. (Ibid.) Thus, only 6,052 acres of MRZ-2 lands
could be directly affected by the Plan. (Ibid.) Because Development will be
limited in Conservation Areas, it is foreseeable that this resource may not be
developed under the MSHCP. (Ibid.) However, this impact will not be significant
because the Plan Area contains sufficient sand and gravel resources to meet the
demand for approximately 130 years at the current rate of consumption and the
consumption of land under the MSHCP does not physically affect the resource.
(Ibid.)
Second, the Plan does not affect or modify existing Permits or require new
Permits, and does not impose limits on the extraction of available resources. As
such, existing mining operations, although not Covered Activities, will not be
affected by the MSHCP. (Ibid.)
Third, existing mineral resources will not be physically affected by lands
conserved under the Plan.
Finally, certain mining areas, such as certain Indio Quarry lands, will actually
benefit by implementation of the MSHCP because they will receive Take
Authorization. (Final Recirculated EIR/EIS, pp. 4.4-3 to -5.)
Impacts to energy resources, specifically wind energy conservation systems
(turbines) within the Plan Area would be less than significant. (Final Recirculated
EIR/EIS, p. 4.4-5.) Given the substantial windfarm development that has already
occurred and the continuing retrofit of turbines on existing sites, as well as the
41
c---�C.�
�J�
continued relatively low impact of windfarm Development, existing and future
Development of regional wind resources are not significantly in conflict with or
constrained by adoption and implementation of the proposed Plan.. (Final
Recirculated EIR/EIS, p. 4.4-5.) The Plan provides Take Authorization for ground
disturbance associated with windfarm Development in Conservation Areas that is
consistent with applicable Conservation Goals and Objectives. Ground
disturbances include roads and staging areas, foundation pads and storage areas,
with further disturbance limited once constructed. The retrofitting of wind
turbines is a proposed Covered Activity only with respect to impacts from ground
disturbance. (Final Recirculated EIR/EIS, p. 4.4-5.)
In addition, the Plan will not constrain future solar or thermal energy facilities that
may be built. (Ibid.)
There are no existing or planned timber harvesting areas in the Plan Area; thus
there are no impacts. (Final Recirculated EIR/EIS, p. 4.4-6.) Additionally, the
Plan would have no effect on any commercially viable timber resource in any area
outside but adjacent to the Plan Area. (Ibid.)
L. Noise
The MSHCP will not result in the generation of significant noise levels as defined
by CEQA. (Final Recirculated EIR/EIS, pp. 4.9-16 to -17.) The MSHCP will
result in very little construction or maintenance activities that will generate
significant noise impacts. (Final Recirculated EIR/EIS, p. 4.9-17.) Construction
activities under the Plan will be limited to minor construction projects associated
with installation of fencing, and the construction of trails and trailhead facilities.
(Ibid.) All of these activities will be very limited in extent and short in duration
and will be less than significant. (Ibid.)
M. Population and Housing
Since 1980, population in the Coachella Valley has grown rapidly, and is
expected to increase to 440,301 by 2010 and 540,901 by 2020. (Final
Recirculated EIR/EIS, p. 4.8-1.) If the trend continues, the Coachella Valley and
its jurisdictions will require additional housing to support the increase in
population. Because a goal of the MSHCP is to conserve a significant amount of
acreage for the benefit of species' preservation within the Plan Area, affected
jurisdictions could have less acreage with which to consider the placement of
proposed Developments, resulting in a potential impact from implementation of
the MSHCP. Relevant impact areas are analyzed beiow.
County and City Budgets. The MSHCP has developed a fiscal impact analysis
to calculate the potential costs and revenues of each jurisdiction if buildout of
lands actually occurred. (Final Recirculated EIR/EIS, p. 4.8-6.) The analysis
concluded that in most jurisdictions, the potential buildout of the lands proposed
for inclusion in Conservation Areas would result in residential Development at
42
`� ,..
-�`p
low or very low densities, and would result in a negative cash flow to the
jurisdiction at buildout. (Final Recirculated EIR/EIS, p. 4.8-7.) In fact, only Palm
Springs (+$706,868) and Riverside County (+$22,100,100) would generate
positive annual cash ftow by building aut deve�opable Conservation Lands. (Ibid.)
The net loss to Palm Springs would represent 0.6% of the City's annual operating
revenue, while the County would lose approximately 2% of its General Fund
Revenues. (Final Recirculated EIR/EIS, at pp. 4.8-6 through 4.$-7.) Thus, because
buildout in most jurisdictions would create a negative funding stream, and in
Riverside County and Palm Springs the loss of such potential funds would not
create a substantial adverse economic impact on each jurisdiction's economy,
such impacts to each jurisdiction are less than significant.
Development Potential. The analysis also compared potentially developable
Iands within and outside of the Conservation Areas for each jurisdiction. (Fina�
Recirculated EIR/EIS, pp. 4.8-7 through 4.8-21.) For the nine cities within the
Plan Area, a combined 43,262.22 acres of Development potential lie outside the
proposed Conservation Areas, and approximately 9,181.7 acres with at least some
(and often constrained) Development potential lie within the Conservation Areas.
(Final Recirculated EIK/EIS, pp. 4.8-7 through 4.8-21.) Regarding Riverside
County, 153,270.79 acres of developable lands are within the Conservation Areas
and 90,512.63 acres are outside. (Final Recirculated EIR/EIS, p. 4.8-19.)
However, most of the lands within the Conservation Areas are designated as low-
density, very-low density, or urban, whereas the lands outside Conservation Areas
represent more suburban and urban densities. (Final Recirculated EIR/EIS, pp.
4.8-7 through 4.8-21.) Therefore, the number of development units that may be
constructed in Conservation Areas is low even without the Plan, and given the
fact that the MSHCP allows Development on 10% of the land within the
Conservation Areas, a substantial portion of these lands could be used for
construction even with the Plan. Thus, the impacts of the Plan associated with
residential, commercial, and industrial Development potential on lands within
Conservation Areas are less than significant. (Final Recirculated EIR/EIS, p. 4.8-
29.)
Growth Constraints. Future residential Devetopment wi11 be minimally
impacted in Coachella, Indian Wells, Indio, and La Quinta. (Final Recirculated
EIR/EIS, pp. 4.8-7 to -22.) In the remaining cities and in the unincorporated
portions of the Plan Area, impacts will be primarily on lands within Conservation
Areas but, as discussed above, these lands have been designated for low or very
low density designations. (Ibid.) Thus, based on the above analysis, impacts to
future residential growth will be less than significant.
For the entire Plan Area, approximately 8,300 acres of lands with potential for
commercial Development are located outside the Conservation Areas, and less
than 80 acres lie within Conservation Areas. (Fina� Reclrculatea EIR/EIS, p. 4.&-
24.) Given the fact that the Plan Area encompasses over 1.1 million acres, impacts
to future commercial Development are less than significant.
43
��
Approximately 14,000 of the 15,000 acres of land currently designated for
industrial use are located outside the Conservation Areas. (Final Recirculated
EIR/EIS, p. 4.8-24.) Thus, the Plan will not constitute a significant constraint to
industrial Development in the Plan Area.
Based on the above analysis, the MSHCP will not significantly constrain
Development potential within the Plan Area. Thus, impacts are overall less than
significant.
Affordable Housing. In most jurisdictions, there will be minimal or no impact on
affordable housing, since lands designated for medium to high density residential
Development (where affordable housing is most likely to occur) occur outside the
Conservation Areas. (Final Recirculated EIR/EIS, pp. 4.8-22 to -24.) Exceptions
occur in Palm Desert, and the unincorporated areas of the Plan Area. (Ibid.) In
Palm Desert, lands designated for medium density Development could yield up to
170 dwelling units, whereas the 100 acres outside Conservation Areas could yield
706 dwelling units. (Final Recirculated EIR/EIS, Table 4-16.) In the
unincorporated areas, the ratio is 1,159:14,398. (Final Recirculated EIR/EIS,
Table 4-19.) Because such a small amount of potentially affordable land will be
conserved in comparison to affordable available land outside the Conservation
Areas, overall impacts will be less than significant.
Employment. Potentially developable lands most impacted are designated for
low to very low density residential Development, which has limited potential to
generate jobs. (Final Recirculated EIR/EIS, p. 4.8-24.) Commercial and industrial
lands have more potential for sustainable employment. However, commercial
lands within Conservation Areas represent less than one percent of the total lands.
(Final Recirculated EIR/EIS, 4.8-24.) This loss in potential employment is
expected to be equivalent to the loss in leasable retail space, and represents a less
than significant impact. (Ibid.) In addition, industrial lands within Conservation
Areas represent 6.9% of the developable lands, also representing a less than
significant impact.
N. Utilities and Service Systems
The MSHCP will provide Take Authorization for public facilities operated by
CVWD, IID, County Flood Control, County Parks, and County Waste, as well as
by the nine city Permittees in the Coachella Valley. (Final Recirculated EIR/EIS,
p. 4.9-19.) This will facilitate the O&M of public facilities and the delivery of
services by these Permittees. (Ibid.) The MSHCP will provide the basis for thc
issuance of Take Authorization for Emergency access and Emergency response
within the MSHCP Reserve System. (Ibid.) The MSHCP also allows limited
Development in these Areas, so that additional new public facilities are not
precluded in the Conservation Areas. (Ibid.) Non-permittees that provide public
serviccs requiring Take Authorization could seek such Authorization under the
Permits through the Participating Special Entity provisions. (Ibid.) The Plan will
have a beneficial impact on electric power facilities as IID's Covered Activities
44
�g
can proceed and be maintained. (Final Recirculated EIR/EIS, p. 4.9-20.) Southern
California Edison ("SCE") is not a Permittee under the MSHCP. (Ibid.) However,
under the provisions set forth in Section 7.5 of the MSHCP, SCE may request
Take Authorization for its activities from the CVCC pursuant to the Permits as a
Participating Special Entity, consistent with the terms and requirements of the
Permits, the Plan, and the IA. (Ibid.)
Based upon an assessment of the potential impacts of the MSHCP on electric
power facilities, natural gas transmission facilities, telephone and cable facilities,
and the provisions of Sections 7.0 and 7.4 of the MSHCP, the MSHCP will not
conflict with or obstruct construction of new public utilities or facilities, including
above ground and subsurface energy, fuel or telecommunication transmission
facilities. (Final Recirculated EIR/EIS, pp. 4.9-20 to -21.) Nor will it conflict with
or obstruct the Operation and Maintenance of existing public utilities or facilities,
including above ground and subsurface energy, fuel or telecommunication
transmission facilities. (Ibid.)
In addition, the Plan will not generate additional solid waste, with the exception
of the waste discussed below. (Final Recirculated EIR/EIS, p. 4.9-22.) Moreover,
landfill related activities will be Covered Activities under the Plan, thereby
creating a beneficial impact. (Final Recirculated EIR/EIS, p. 4.9-22.) Therefore,
the MSHCP will not conflict with or obstruct continued operation of existing
landfill facilities. (Ibid.)
The Plan will not exceed wastewater treatment requirements of the applicable
Regional Water Quality Control Board, or require or result in the construction of
new water or wastewater treatment facilities or expansion of existing facilities, the
construction of which could cause significant environmental effects. (Final
Recirculated EIR/EIS, p. 4.9-23.) Further, it does not require or result in the
construction of new storm water drainage facilities or expansion of existing
facilities, the construction of which could cause significant environmental effects.
(Ibid.)
The Plan will not involve any deficiency in sufficient water supplies available to
serve the project from existing entitlements and resources, and no new or
expanded entitlements are needed. (Ibid.) The Plan could generate minor amounts
of waste when trash is cleaned up from properties or exotic plant species are
removed. (Ibid.) Adequate landfill capacity exists to accommodate the project's
minimal solid waste disposal needs, and the Plan complies with federal, state, and
local statutes and regulations related to solid waste. (Ibid.)
Based on the above, no significant impacts to utilities and service systems will
result from implementation of the MSHCP.
45
��
O. Recreation
The MSHCP provides the basis for the development of a system of local, County,
state and federal wildlife and Habitat preserves of local and national importance.
(Final Recirculated EIR/EIS, p. 4.9-10.) The MSHCP provides guidelines for
public access and recreation that will be implemented over time within the
Reserve System. (Ibid.) Thus, implementation of this measure would have a less
than significant effect on cross-country travel and camping.
The potential for expanded hiking, equestrian and other "passive" recreation in the
MSHCP Reserve System is a significant benefit of the Plan. (Final Recirculated
EIR/EIS, p. 4.9-10.) In addition to trails, the Plan envisions interpretive centers,
information kiosks and other facilities to enhance the open space experience the
Reserve System would provide to the public. (Ibid.)
Thus, the MSHCP will result in significant beneficial impacts for public use, trails
and recreation in the Plan Area by increasing access to open space, restoring and
protecting the underlying environmental resource. (Final Recirculated EIR/EIS,
pp. 4.9-10 to -11.) No significant impacts to recreation will result from
implementation of the MSHCP.
Revised Trails Plan. The Revised Trails Plan will provide year-round use of 38
of the 40 trails covered by the Plan, or about 95 of 115 miles (83%) of trails that
spread across the lower elevations of the Santa Rosa and San Jacinto Mountains.
(Final Recirculated EIR/EIS, p. 5-67.) These trails extend from the Snow Creek
area west of Palm Springs to Martinez Canyon south of La Quinta, and would
assure the availability of a wide range of mountain hiking, biking, and horseback
riding experiences. (Ibid.) Eighty-eight percent of trails addressed by the Revised
Trails Plan, or 83% of total trail mileage, will be available for year-round use.
(Final Recirculated EIR/EIS, p. 5-68.) Thirty-eight of the 40 trails (or 105 of 115
miles of trails) addressed by the Revised Trails Plan are available for recreation
during the maximum-usage months (January through April). (Ibid.) Only three
trails totaling about 10 miles will be closed during the "hot season" from June 15
through Sepiember 30. (Ibid.) Data exists indicating that as the weather gets
hotter, human trail use decreases. (Final Recirculated EIR/EIS, p. 5-68.) Thus,
considering the extcnt of available trails in combination with the lower levels of
use, the effects of summer trail closures on recreational opportunities will be
minor. (Final Recirculated EIR/EIS, p. 5-69.)
Closures of certain trails or trail segments to bicycles will be limited to those that
complement existing closures by precluding access where continuation of use
along a trail would result in a violation. (Ibid.) Therefore, these new restrictions
will have a minor effect on trail use by mountain bicyclists. (Ibid.)
Upon completion of the focused research program, study results and management
recommendations will be integrated into a revised public use and trails
Management Program, using best available science, professional judgment, and
46
<PO
wildlife management principles where study results may be less than definitive.
(Ibid.) Depending on study results, future restrictions on recreational use of
existing trails may or may not be imposed. (Ibid.)
Construction of perimeter trails will be defened under the Revised Trails Plan
pending completion of focused research program. (Final Recirculated EIR/EIS, p.
5-69.) Deferring the construction of new trails will not have a substantial effect on
recreation. (Ibid.)
Decommissioning of trails will occur only after completion of a focused research
program, and no trails would be decommissioned coincident with approval of the
Revised Trails Plan. (Final Recirculated EIR/EIS, p. 5-70.) Therefore, impacts to
recreational opportunities resulting from the Revised Trails Plan as it relates to
trail rerouting, decommission, and removal are not anticipated at this time. (Ibrd.)
Cross-country travel and camping in essential PBS habitat from January 1 through
September 30 would be prohibited due to potentially affecting recreational access
to certain parts of the Santa Rosa and San Jacinto Mountains. (Final Recirculated
EIR/EIS, pp. 5-71 through 5-72.) Thus, opportunities for this activity would not
be precluded, but access would be limited to a 106-day period each year. (Ibrd.)
In summary, implementation of the Revised Trails Plan will not substantially
affect trail use opportunities on existing trails in the Santa Rosa and San Jacinto
Mountains Conservation Area.
P. Public Services
Police, fire and other Emergency services operate under the direct authority of or
through a service agreement with Permittees. (Final Recirculated EIWEIS, p. 4.9-
22.) Section 7.3.2 of the MSHCP provides that local, state, and federal law
enforcement entities will be allowed access to the Reserve Land as necessary to
enforce the law. Medical, rescue, fire fighting operations, and other Emergency
service providers will be allowed access to Reserve Lands to carry out operations
necessary for the health, safety, and welfare of the public. (Final Recirculated
EIR/EIS, p. 4.9-22; MSHCP, § 7.3.2.1.) Local law enforcement agencies and
other entities such as the National Guard or Immigration and Naturalization
Service operating on Reserve Lands are subject to existing state and federal laws.
(Ibid.) The MSHCP will not create additional Permit requirements for these
entities beyond those of existing state and federal laws. (Ibid.) Based upon an
assessment of the potential impacts of the MSHCP, and the provisions listed
above in Section 7.3 of the MSHCP, the Plan will not conflict with or obstruct
police and fire protection services.
The Plan will also not have significant impacts on schools as it will not result in
student increases nor the need to construct new school facilities. (Final
Recirculated EIR/EIS, p. 4.9-22.) Because the Plan focuses on Conservation of
species and natural communities and the provision of recreational opportunities, it
47
�� �
would not have adverse impacts on parks but instead will have a positive impact
on recreation. (See Section O above.) Thus, no significant impacts to recreation
will result from implementation of the MSHCP.
Q. Transportation
The MSHCP provides Take Authorization for both construction of planned
roadways and improvements to certain existing roadways, both in and out of the
Conservation Areas, listed in Section 3 and Sections 7.2 and 7.3 of the Plan.
(Final Recirculated EIR/EIS, p. 4.3-7.) The MSHCP includes design and siting
guidelines for planned roadways. (Ibid.) The implementation of these guidelines
will ensure that planned roadways are designed and constructed in a manner
consistent with the objectives of the MSHCP, while providing for the efficient
passage of persons and goods through the Coachella Valley, the alleviation of
traffic congestion, the maintenance of level of service standards, and continuation
of adequate Emergency access/evacuation routes. (Final Recirculated EIR/EIS,
pp. 4.3-6 through 4.3-9.) Since the operation, maintenance and construction of
existing and planned roadways are covered activities within the MSHCP
Conservation Area, potential transportation-related impacts resulting from
implementation of the MSHCP will be less than significant.
However, other roads are not Covered Activities under the Plan and will not
receive Take Authorization. (Final Recirculated EIR/EIS, pp. 4.3-7.) The Plan
does not preclude Permittees from seeking approval of these roadway segments
through the MSHCP Plan amendment process. (Final Recirculated EIR/EIS, p.
4.3-7.) The City of Desert Hot Springs would be required to seek Take
Authorization for non-Covered Activities by separate consultations with the
Wildlife Agencies.. (Ibid.)
The MSHCP will indirectly affect the circulation system by limiting Development
within the Conservation Areas, thus limiting the traffic generation in these areas.
(Final Recirculated EIR/EIS, p. 4.3-9.) This indirect effect will reduce traffic
volumes on the overall circulation network. (Ibid.) As a practical matter, the trips
that would have been generated in the Conservation Areas would have been
relatively limited given the underlying land uses. (Ibid.)
Some of the Development in the Conservation Areas may be reduced or shifted to
other areas in the Coachella Valley due to acquisition of lands for Conservation
from willing sellers. (Ibid.) This potential shifting of Development wili not have
significant impacts because the anticipated trips that would have been generated
from the Conservation Areas would have been relatively low given the land use
designations. (Ibid.) With a shift in the location of Development, the MSHCP
could have the result of a net reduction in regional trip generation. (Ibid)
No levels of service on any designated major roadway will be affected. (Ibid.)
Emergency access will not be constrained because the Plan will provide Take
48
�p�—�
Authorization for Emergency access and activities in the MSHCP Reserve
System. (Ibid.)
The MSHCP will not place any lands in Conservation which would conflict with
or hinder the operation of local or regional roadways or associated facilities.
(Ibid.) Neither will it result in a substantial increase in traffic volumes, volume to
capacity ratios or applicable policies plans or programs supporting alternative
transportation systems on or serving roadway segments or intersections. (Ibid.)
Emergency access will not be significantly affected nor will the Plan affect design
features of any roadway that resulted in the creation of a hazardous condition.
(Ibid.) Neither railroads nor airports in the Plan Area will be affected by the
MSHCP. (Ibid.)
Based on the above discussed features of the MSHCP, impacts to Transportation
and Circulation are less than significant and no mitigation measures are required.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED by the CVAG Executive Committee that the Final
Recirculated EIR/EIS and the evidence in the administrative record before it confirms that
implementation of the MSHCP will result in no significant cumulative adverse environmental
impacts with regard to: Land Use Compatibility (Final Recirculated EIR/EIS, pp. 9-11; 9-13);
Transportation, Traffic, and Circulation (Final Recirculated EIR/EIS, pp. 9-14 to -15; 9-17);
Mineral, Energy, and Timber Resources (Final Recirculated EIR/EIS, pp. 9-17 to -19);
Agricultural Lands and Activities (Final Recirculated EIR/EIS, pp. 9-19 to -21); Hydrology and
Water Quality (Final Recirculated EIR/EIS, pp. 9-21 to -22; 9-25); Flooding and Hydrology
(Final Recirculated EIR/EIS, pp. 9-21 to -22; 9-25); Water Resources/Quality (Final
Recirculated EIR/EIS, pp. 9-25 to -29); Biological Resources (Final Recirculated EIR/EIS, pp. 9-
29 to -33; 9-36 to -44); Cultural Resources and Native American Concerns (Final Recirculated
EIR/EIS, pp. 9-44 to -45); Parks Trails and Recreation (Final Recirculated EIR/EIS, pp. 9-45 to -
48); Air Quality (Final Recirculated EIR/EIS, p. 9-48);Noise (Final Recirculated EIR/EIS, pp. 9-
48 to -49); Visual/Scenic Resources (Final Recirculated EIR/EIS, p. 9-49); Utilities/Public
Services and Facilities (Final Recirculated EIR/EIS, pp. 9-49 to -50); Socioeconomic Resources:
Population, Housing, and Employment (Final Recirculated EIR/EIS, pp. 9-50 to -51.);
Environmental Justice and Children (Final Recirculated EIR/EIS, pp. 9-51 to -52); and Growth-
Inducing Impacts (Final Recirculated EIR/EIS, p. 9-52).
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED by the CVAG Executive Committee that it has
considered and rejected as infeasible the alternatives identified in the EIR and described below.
CEQA requires that an EIR evaluate a reasonable range of alternatives to a project, or to the
location of the project, which: (1) offer substantial environmental advantages over the project
proposal, and (2) may be feasibly accomplished in a successful manner within a reasonable
period of time considering the economic, environmental, social and technological factors
involved. (Citizens of Goletu Valley v. Board of Supervisors, (1990) 52 Cal.3d 553, 566.) An
EIR must only evaluate reasonable alternatives to a project which could feasibly attain most of
the basic project objectives, and evaluate the comparative merits of the alternatives. (State
CEQA Guidelines § 15126.6.) In all cases, the consideration of alternatives is to be judged
against a "rule of reason." (Ibrd.) The lead agency is not required to choose an alternative
identified in an EIR if the alternative (1) does not substantially reduce significant environmental
49
�3
impacts; (2) does not meet project objectives; or (3) there are social, economic, technological or
other considerations which make the alternative infeasible. (Ibid.)
The primary goals and objectives of the MSHCP are to:
1. Obtain Permits from the Wildlife Agencies to authorize Take for the
Covered Activities. (Final Recirculated EIR/EIS, p. 1-6.)
2. Protect Core and Other Conserved Habitat for 27 proposed Covered
Species and 27 natural communities, maintain the Essential Ecological
Processes to keep the Core Habitat viable and link Core Habitat to
maximize the conservation value of the land within the Coachella Valley.
(Final Recirculated EIR/EIS, p. 1-6.)
3. Improve the future economic development in the Plan Area by providing
an efficient, streamlined regulatory process through which Development
can proceed in an efficient way. The proposed Plan is intended to provide
a means to standardize mitigation/compensation measures for the Covered
Species so that, with respect to public and private Development actions,
mitigation/compensation measures established by the Plan will
concunently satisfy applicable provisions of Federal and State laws
pertaining to species protection. (Final Recirculated EIR/EIS, p. 1-6.)
4. Provide for permanent open space, community edges and recreational
opportunities, which contribute to maintaining the community character of
the Coachella Valley. (Final Recirculated EIR/EIS, p. 1-6.)
A. The Preferred Alternative
In 1994, a Scientific Advisory Committee ("SAC") was established, composed of
members which included biologists from BLM, the National Park Service, United States
Forest Service, the University of California Natural Reserve System, the Center for
Natural Lands Management, CVWD, and representatives of CDFG and USFWS. (Final
Recirculated EIRlEIS, p. 2-2.) The Plan was developed in consultation with SAC using
best available science. (Final Recirculated EIR/EIS, p. 2-3.)
The Preferred Alternative will conserve 27 species ("Covered Species") and 27
natural communities. (Final Recirculated EIR/EIS, pp. 2-4 through 2-6.) The Reserve
System proposed by the Preferred Alternative contains 21 Conservation Areas totaling
723,480 acres of land, and provides Core Habitat and Other Conserved Habitat for the
proposed Covered Species. (Final Recirculated EIR/EIS, p. 2-8.) Based upon the analysis
in the Final Recirculated EIR, and in particular the comparison of the impacts of the
various alternatives analyzed, the Preferred Alternative is determined to be the
environmental superior alternative. (Final Recirculated EIR/EIS, Table E-1.)
In addition to the Preferred Alternative, several additional alternatives were
considered. These are the Public Lands Alternative, the Core Habitat with Ecological
Processes Alternative, the Enhanced Conservation Alternative and the No Action/No
50
�o�
Project Alternative. (Final Recirculated EIR/EIS, pp. 2-51 through 2-64.) These
alternatives are discussed below. One other alternative considered would have fully
protected the Habitat of the Covered Species in the Plan Area. (Final Recirculated
EIR/EIS, p. 2-64.) Because all Habitat would have been conserved under this alternative,
no Take coverage would have been reyuired, eliminating the need for a habitat
conservation plan. (Ibid.) This alternative could not meet Plan objectives, was determined
to be infeasible and did not meet the purposes and needs of the USFWS. (Ibid.) Thus,
that alternative was initially considered but eliminated from further review. (Ibid.)
B. Public Lands Alternative
l. Description
This alternative includes all local, State, and Federal agency land, and
Private Conservation Land, in the Plan Area with Conservation
management levels 1, 2, and 3. (Final Recirculated EIR/EIS, p. 2-51.)
Level 1 lands are lands consisting of state and federal Wildemess Areas.
(MSHCP, pp. 2-7.) Level 2 lands contain some Existing Uses, but the
overall management objective is maintenance of natural values. (Ibid.)
Level 3 lands are designated for multiple use while providing significant
Conservation value. (MSHCP, p. 2-8.)
This alternative entails no land acquisition; only Core Habitat, Essential
Ecological Processes, and Linkages that happen to be on exiting public
conservation lands or Private Conservation Lands would be protected.
(Final Recirculated EIR/EIS, p. 2-51.) The local jurisdictions would
contribute to the management of the existing Conservation Areas as
mitigation for the Habitat loss allowed under the Plan. (Final Recirculated
EIR/EIS, p. 2-51.) In total, this alternative would result in the
Conservation of 19.5% less acreage than under the Preferred Alternative.
(Final EIR/EIS, p. 4.8-25.)
2. Findin�
This alternative fails to meet the basic Project objectives, would not
substantially reduce significant environmental impacts and would result in
increased impacts.
3. Supportin�Explanation
This alternative conserves far less Habitat acreage than the Preferred
Alternative, and would result in Habitat fragmentation where considerable
private lands exist. (Final Recirculated EIR/EIS, p. 2-51 through 2-54.)
The only significant reserve areas on the valley floor would be the three
existing Coachella Valley fringe-toed lizard preserves and Dos Palmas
ACEC. (Final Recirculated EIR/EIS, p. 2-51.) Within mountainous areas,
some conserved land would be well preserved, but habitat fragmentation is
a problem in other areas where considerable private lands still exist.
51
�S
(Ibid.) This lack of conservation lands would fail to provide maximum
possible certainty that the viability of Core and Other Conserved Habitat
for several of the 27 Covered Species and 27 natural communities would
be maintained, and would potentially impact wetlands and riparian
habitats.
This alternative entails no land acquisition; only Core Habitat, Essential
Ecological Processes, and Linkages that happen to be on existing public
conservation lands or Private Conservation Lands would be protected.
(MSHCP, p. 3-13.) As a result, sand transpori, watershed, and other
ecological processes would not be adequately protected; Biological
Corridors would not be conserved; and Core Habitat areas would be
fragmented in many instances. (Ibid.) For these reasons, basic Project
objective 2 would not be met.
For the same reasons, it is less likely that the Wildlife Agencies would
authorize a Take Permit for the Covered Species, thus frustrating basic
Project objective 1.
Failure to achieve basic Project objective 1 would, in turn, prohibit
achievement of basic Project objective 3. No Take Authorization would
exist (or would be issued for fewer Covered Species), nor would this
alternative achieve an efficient, streamlined regulatory process for project
Development.
Finally, the benefits derived from achievement of basic Project objective 4
would be far less substantial under this alternative than they would be
under the Preferred Alternative. Recreational opportunities and open space
preservation would be reduced, as this objective is best achieved by
additional land conservation.
In addition, the Public Lands Alternative could adversely affect existing
and planned groundwater recharge facilities in the Plan Area. (Final
Recirculated EIRlEIS, p. 4.6-7.) This alternative could result in the need
for individual permits for the development of certain projects, which will
be substantially more difficult to obtain in the absence of a comprehensive
conservation plan such as the Preferred Alternative. (Ibid.) These
uncertainties and the biological resource conservation issues that would
remain unresolved under this alternative mean that the potential for
adverse impacts to existing and planned groundwater recharge facilities
could be significant. (Ibid.)
Therefore, the CVAG Executive Committee finds that the Public Lands
Alternative does not substantially reduce environmental impacts, could
result in increased impacts as compared with the Preferred Alternative,
fails to meet the basic Project objectives and therefore rejects it.
52
��p
C. Core Habitat with Ecological Processes Alternative
1. Description
This alternative would result in the conservation of 4.2% less acreage than
under the Preferred Alternative. (Final Recirculated EIR/EIS, p. 4.8-25.) It
would establish Conservation Areas intended to protect Core Habitat for
the Covered Species and natural communities included in the Plan, and
Essential Ecological Processes necessary to sustain these Habitats and
some Biological Corridors. (Final Recirculated EIR/EIS, p. 2-54.) The
Conservation Areas include most of the Public Lands Alternative lands as
well as the acquisition of additional private lands for Core Habitat,
Essential Ecological Processes, and Biological Corridors. (Ibid.)
2. Findin
This alternative fails to meet basic Project objectives 1 and 3. In addition,
this alternative fails to fully realize basic Project objective 4.
3. Supportin�Explanation
Under this alternative, only 697,280 acres of Conservation Area would be
conserved for Habitat, which is approximately 50,000 acres less than the
Prefened Alternative. (Final Recirculated EIR/EIS, pp. 2-9 and 2-57.) An
additional 47,000 acres of Complementary Conservation and Additional
Conservation Lands would be conserved through the Preferred
Alternative. (Ibid.) Due to this dearth of conservation lands, there is a
greater likelihood that the Wildlife Agencies would not issue a Take
Permit as compared to the Preferred Alternative if the Core Habitat with
Ecological Processes Alternative was adopted by the Permittees. In that
instance, basic Project objective 1 would not be met.
If basic Project objective 1 was not met, then basic Project objective 3
would not be mct. If no Take Permit was issued (or issued for fewer
species), then no streamlined regulatory process would exist to assist the
processing of Development projects. This, in turn, would fail to improve
the future economic Development in the Plan Area.
This alternative would conserve far less permanent open space and
community edges, and provide fewer recreational opportunities than the
Preferred Alternative. Therefore, this alternative frustrates the purposes of
basic Project objective 4.
Therefore, the CVAG Executive Committee finds that the Core Habitat
with Ecological Processes Alternative fails to meet basic Project
objectives 1 and 3, and fails to fully realize basic Projective objective 4,
and therefore rejects it.
53
��
D. Enhanced Conservation Alternative
1. Description
This alternative would expand upon the MSHCP by adding Conservation
Lands to the Plan as listed in the EIR/EIS. (Final Recirculated EIR/EIS,
pp. 2-58 through 2-63.)
2. Findin
The Enhanced Conservation Alternative would result in minimal
additional biological value, significant land use conflicts, high acquisition
and management costs, severe edge effects and the possibility of creating
an unmanageable reserve configuration. (MSHCP, pp. 3-14.) This
alternative fails to meet basic Project objectives 1 and 3, would not
substantially reduce significant environmental impacts, would result in
increased impacts, and would be infeasible.
3. Supportin� Explanation
Based on field visits with the SAC and representatives from various
jurisdictions, it was determined that not all areas included in this
alternative were biologically viable or Feasible to conserve. (MSHCP, p.
3-14.) Additionally, much of the area anticipated for Conservation under
this alternative would cause significant land use conflicts and increased
costs without significantly increasing Habitat value. (Ibid.) Significant
conflicts with local, county, State or Federal land use plans, policies or
controls would result, and the alternative would physically divide
established communities. (Final Recirculated EIR/EIS, pp. 4.2-8 through
4.2-13.) Some of the proposed conservation acreage already contains
approved Development, which would significantly increase the acquisition
costs. (Ibid.) Existing Development adjacent to these areas would also
create Habitat fragmentation and severe edge effects. (Ibid.)
This alternative would also result in significant adverse impacts to
transportation, and could result in significant impacts to agriculture. (Final
Recirculated EIR/EIS, pp. 4.3-10 through 4.3-15.)
The additional Conservation measures proposed under this Alternative
would include existing groundwater recharge basins operated by CVWD,
which could require realigning the recharge basins at great cost. (MSHCP,
p. 3-14.) It would also conflict with certain adopted local or regional flood
control plans or projects. (Final Recirculated EIR/EIS, pp. 4.6-8 through
4.6-9.)
This Alternative would increase the number of acres to be conserved by
approximately 10,200 acres over the Preferred Alternative, even though
the amount of Habitat included in the Preferred Alternative is sufficient to
54
��
adequately conserve all of the Covered Species. (MSHCP, p. 3-14.) Thus,
the Enhanced Conservation Alternative would significantly increase the
cost of the Project without significantly increasing the Habitat value of the
Reserve. (Ibid.)
This Alternative would also conflict with basic Project objectives 1 and 3.
Because more land is conserved, less Take coverage would be issued by
the Wildlife Agencies. This would decrease the future economic
development, which would severely reduce the amount of fees collected.
Because fewer fees would be collected, it would make infeasible the
ability to develop a larger reserve.
Therefore, the CVAG Executive Committee finds that the Public Lands
Alternative does not substantially reduce environmental impacts, results in
increased impacts as compared with the Preferred Alternative, fails to
meet Project objective 3, and therefore rejects it.
E. No Action/No Project Alternative
1. Description
With the No Action/No Project Alternative, land use changes and policies
that are being contemplated to implement the MSHCP would not occur,
and no Permits would be issued. Individual project proponents would
continue to obtain their own Take Authorizations or avoid Take. (Final
Recirculated EIR/EIS, p. 2-63.)
2. FindinQ
This Alternative fails to meet all four basic Project objectives, would not
substantially reduce environmental impacts and would result in increased
impacts.
3. Supportin�xplanation
Under this alternative, none of the objectives of the Project would be met.
Under the No Project Alternative, the MSHCP would not be approved or
implemented. (MSHCP, pp. 3-14 through 3-15; Final Recirculated
EIR/EIS, p. 2-63.) Therefore, there would be no process in place to
provide Take Authorization for Covered Species and no Core Habitat to
protect. (Final Recirculated EIR/EIS, pp. 2-63 through 2-64.) Taking no
action in the Plan Area would also fail to improve the future economic
development in the Plan Area as no efficient, streamlined regulatory
process would be in place. In addition, no permanent open space,
community edges or recreational opportunities would be provided.
In addition, the Project's goal to improve the future economic
development of the Plan Area would not be met as no streamlined
55
��1
regulatory approach would be implemented. Instead, environmental
impacts, especially impacts to biological resources, resulting from
Development activities in the Plan Area would continue to be subject to a
variety of local, state and federal regulatory processes. (Final Recirculated
EIR/EIS, p. 2-63.) Private parties would also be required to mitigate
biological impacts on a project-by-project basis resulting in inconsistent
Conservation and management.
In addition, no comprehensive, long-term process would exist for
protecting Core Habitat for 27 proposed Covered Species and 27 natural
communities that occur within the Plan Area. (MSHCP, p. 3-15; Final
Recirculated EIR/EIS, p. 2-63.) Habitat would be conserved on an ad hoc
basis — if at all — rather than in functional blocks. (Ibid.) There would also
be no fee-based funding plan that would generate funds necessary to
support Conservation.
The No Action/No Project Alternative would also fail to substantially
reduce significant environmental impacts and would result in increased
impacts. Because there would not be a coordinated system of Linkages
provided to connect Conservation Areas, impacts to natural communities
and species that would have been covered under the MSHCP would be
exacerbated under this alternative. (MSHCP, p. 3-15.) Edge effects would
also be intensified due to the loss of Biological Corridors and Linkages,
increased interaction with humans, and an increase in Development.
Therefore, the CVAG Executive Committee finds that the No Action/No
Project Alternative does not substantially reduce environmental impacts,
results in increased impacts as compared with the Preferred Alternative,
fails to meet Project objectives, and therefore rejects it.

5. INCORPORATION OF THE MSHCP
The MSHCP and each of its provisions are intended to be, and by this reference are,
incorporated herein. In the event of any direct contradiction bet�veen the terms of this
Agreement and the MSHCP, the terms of this Agreement will control. In all other cases, the
terms of this Agreement and the terms of the MSHCP will be interpreted to be supplementary to
each other.
6. CONSERVATION STRATEGY
6.1 The MSHCP is intended to conserve adequate habitat in an unfragmented manner
to provide for the protection and security of long-term viable populations of the species that are
either currently listed as threatened or endangered, are proposed for listing, or are believed to
have a high probability of being pcoposed for listing in the future if not protected by the Plan.
The MSHCP is intended to preserve biological diversity as well as ma�ntain the quality of lile
within the Coachella Valley and surrounding mountains by conserving species and their
associated habitats and coordinating, streamlining and planning Development. By adopting this
regional approach, the MSHCP will result in much greater and more biologically effective
Habitat and species Conservation than a project-by-project approach could produce. T'he
MSHCP is intended to proactively address requirements of the state and federal ESAs to avoid
disruption of economic development activities in the Plan Area.
6.2 The MSHCP provides a broad Conservation Strategy, which will be implemented
generally through the following:
13
� � �
A. As set forth in Section 4.0 of the MSHCP, the MSHCP Reserve System
shall be approximately 725,000 acres and will consist of Existing
Conservation Lands, lands conserved through Complementary
Conservation and Additional Conservation Lands. The MSHCP Reserve
Svstem is divided into 21 Conservation Areas that provide Core and other
Conserved Habitat for Covered Species, conserve the natural communities
included in the Plan and Essential Ecological Processes essentia] to sustain
the Core Habitat and secure Biological Corridors and Linkages bet��een
major Habitat areas.
B. For each of the Conservation Areas, Conservation Objectives and required
measures shall be implemented as set forth in Section 4.3 of the MSHCP.
C. New land uses adjacent to or within the MSHCP Consen�ation Areas shall
implement the Land Use Adjacency Guidelines set forth in Section 4.� of
the MSHCP, as applicable.
D. The Avoidance, Minimi�ation and Mitigation Measures set forth in
Section 4.4 of the MSHCP shall be implemented.
E. Monitoring and management activities will be undertal:en for each of the
MSHCP Covered Species. Monitoring and management activities are
described in Section 8 of the MSHCP.
F. Species-speciGc Conservation Goals and Objectives shall be implemented
for each of the Co�-ered Species in the MSHCP and are set forth in Section
9 of the MSHCP.
G. Natural Communities Conser��ation Goals and Objectives have been
developed and shall be implemented for each of the Covered Natural
Communities in the MSHCP and are set forth in Section l0 of the
MSHCP.
7. MSHCP RESERVE SYSTEM ASSEMBLY

will consist of appro�cimately 725,000 acres and will consist of Existing Conse�ation Lands.
lar►ds conserved through Complementary Conservation and Additional Conservation Lands. The
MSHCP Reserve System is divided into 21 Conservation Areas that provide Core and other
Consen�ed Habitat for Covered Species, conser�-e the natural communities included in the Plan
and Essential Ecological Processes essential to sustain the Core Habitat and secure Biological
Corridors and Linkages between major habitat areas.
7.2 Contribution of Existing Conservation Lands. As described in Section �1.1 of
the MSHCP, the MSHCP Reserve System will include Existing Conservation Lands. As of
1996, these lands were comprised of appro�cimately 496,400 acres. Because of acquisitions, the
acreage had increased to 557,100 by 2(106. Of this acreage, 491,500 acres (as of 199G), or
�29,200 acres (as of 2006) are federal and state EYisting Consen�ation I_ands. Appro�imatel��
14
` � �
900 acres (as of 1996), or 19,100 acres (as of 200G) are non-profit organization Existing
Conservation Lands. Approximately 4,000 acres (as of 1996) or 8,800 acres (as of 2006) aze
Local Pernvttee Existing Conservation Lands.
7.3 Complementary Conservation. As described in Section 4.2.1 of the MSHCP,
the MSHCP Reserve System will include approximately 69,290 acres (as of 199G), or 29,990
acres (as of 2006) through Complementary Conservation efforts. Such efforts include BLM and
United States Forest Service acquisition programs in the Santa Rosa and San Jacinto Mountains
National Monument, BLM Wildemess in-holding acquisitions, including Mecca Hills and
Orocopia Mountains Wildemess Areas, and Joshua Tree National Park.
7.4 Contribution of Additional Conservation Lands. As described in Table 4-1
and Sections 4.2.2 and 5.1.1 of the MSHCP, the MSHCP Reserve System will include
Additional Conservation Lands comprised of approximately 129,690 acres as of 2006, that ��ill
be acquired or otherwise conserved. Of this acreage, approximately 96,400 acres (as of 2006)
will be acquired or otherwise conserved as the Local Permittees' share of Plan implementation.
Approximately 39,850 acres (as of 199G) or 21,390 acres (as of 2006) will be acquired or
otherwise conserved as the state and federal contribution to Plan implementation.
Approximately 10,800 acres of public and quasi-public lands are also projected to be conserved.
In addition, as described in Section 4.2.2.2.4 of the MSHCP, the Local Permittees will protect
the fluvial sand transport Essential Ecological Process in the Cabazon, Long Canyon, and West
Deception Canyon Conservation Areas to ensure no net reduction in fluvial sand transport in
these areas, which comprise approximately 7,800 acres.
7.5 Review of Development Proposals in Conservation �reas. As set forlh in
Section 4.3 of the MSHCP, Development in Conservation Areas will be limited to uses that are
compatible with the Conservation Objectives for the specific Conservation Area. Discretionary
Projects in Conservation Areas, other than second units on parcels with an existing residence,
shall be reqwred to assess the project's ability to meet the Conservation Objectives in the
Conservation Area. Additionally, the Permittees will participate in the Joint Project Review
Process set forlh in Section G.6.1.I of the MSHCP.
7.6 Reserve Assembly Accounting. In order to ensure that the MSHCP Reserve
System is established, all Permittees will be required to maintain a record of total acres and
location of Development within their jurisdiction within the Plan boundaries and submit th+s
information to the CVCC on a monthly basis. However, Caltrans must submit such information
on a bi-annual basis. As set forih in Section 6.4 of the MSHCP, annual reports will be prepared
in order to account for Habitat losses and gains associated with public and private Development
projects. The annual reports will be used to demonstrate that Conservation is occurring in rough
proportionality with Development, reflect that the MSHCP Reserve System is being assembled
as contemplated in the MSHCP and ensure that Habitat Conservation Goals and Objectives and
required measures are being implemented.

14. USFWS OBLIGATIONS AND ASSURANCES
14.1 Take Authorization for Covered Activities. Upon execution of this Agreement
by all Parties, and satisfaction of all other applicable legal requirements, the USFWS will issue
Permiriees a permit under section 10(a)(1)(B) of FESA authorizing incidental Take by Permittees
of the Covered wildlife Species resulting from Covered Activities within the Plan Area, subject
to and in accordance with, the MSHCP, the Permits and this Agreement.
14.2 USFWS Findings - Covered Species. The USFWS has found, following
opportunity for public comment, that: 1) the taking of Covered Species within the Plan Area in
accordance �vith the MSHCP as implemented will be incidental to the carrying out of other��ise
lawful activities; 2) the MSHCP as implemented will, to the maximum eatent practicable,
minimize and mitigate the impacts of such incidental taking; 3) the funding sources identified
and provided for herein will enswe that adequate funding for the MSHCP wili be provided; 4)
the requested taking of Covered wildlife Species will not appreciably reduce the likelihood of
survival and recovery of such species in the wild; and 5) the MSHCP, as implemented, will
satisfy and fu1611 all measures agreed upon by the Parties for the purposes of the MSHCP
(including procedures determined by the USFWS to be necessary to address Unforeseen
Ci rcumstances}.
14.3 Section 10(a) Permit Coverage. The Section 10(a) Permit will identify all
Covered Species. The Permit will tal:e efT�ect for FESA listed Covered Species at the time that
the Section 10(a) Permit is issued. For currently Unlisted Species, the Permit will take effect
when such species are Listed.
14.4 Implementation Assistance. Subject to Section 27.10 of this Agreement,
USFWS shali provide staff to serve on all appropriate committees and shall ensure, to the extent
possible, staff participation in discussions and meetings with the other Pariies to ensure that the
implementation of this Agreement is consistent with any findings upon which the Section lU(a)
Permit is based. In the event that other habitat conservation plans are proposed within the
boundaries of the MSHCP, the USFWS will require the proponents to consult with the CVCC
during the development of the habitat conservation p!an or prior to completion of the Section 7
consultation process. The USFWS shall, to the extent appropriate, cooperate with the Permittees
in obtaining additional funding from sources including, but not limited to, existing and Cuture
siate and federal grant progr�rns and eYisting and future bond issues.
37
(��
14.5 Assurances Regarding MSHCP. After opportunity ior public revie�v and
comment, based on the best available cwrent scientific and commercial data, the USFWS has
found that the MSHCP, as implemented by this Agreement: l) is consisteni with and ti��ill
complement other applicable Conservation planning and regulatory programs and efforts
addressing wildlife within the region, 2) minimizes and mitigates the potential significant
adverse impacts of the Covered Activities on the Covered Species, 3) will ensure that the
measures agreed upon by the Permittees and the USFWS ���ill be met, and 4) ��-ill be
implemented. The USFWS shall not take a position inconsistent with the acknowledgments set
forth in this Section, including, �vithout limitation, in the form of comments offered by the
USFWS in the context of any CEQA or NEPA process associated �vith approvals for Covered
Activities, with regard to effects on Covered Species.
14.6 Take Authorization for Newly Regulated Covered Species; Savings
Provision. Subject to compliance with all oth�r terms of this Agreement, the Section 10(a)
Permit will automatically become effective for each Unlisted Covered Species upon the listing of
such species as endangered or threatened under FESA. If it is judicially determined that the
USFWS was not authori�ed to cause the Section ]0(a) Permit to become ef�ective automatically
as to Covered Species as they become listed pursuant to FESA, the USFWS shall accept the
minimization and mitigation measures in the MSHCP and this Agreement as the basis for an
application for a section 10(a) amendment or separate Section ]0(a) Permits, MBTA Permits,
and/or other Tal:e Authorizations. The USFWS shall use reasonable eff'orts to revie«� and
process the application expeditiously so as to ensure, provided the Permit amendment or
application meets the requirements of FESA and other applicable federal laws, that the Take
AuThori�ation is effective concurrently ��ith the listing of the Covered Species under FESA. In
issuing such Permits, amendments and/or Take Authori�ations, and to the extent that such
judicial determination creating the circumstances requiring such additional revie��� and
processing allo��s, the USFWS shall not request, impose, recommend or require furlher
►nitigalion, Conservation, compensation, enhancement or other protection for such Covered
Species ezcept as e�pressly pro��ided in this Agreement.
14.7 Changes in the Environmental Laws. It is acknowledged and agreed by the
USFWS that the Permittees are agreeing to perform substantial avoidance, minimiration,
mitigation, Conservation and management measures as set forth in this Agreement. If a change
in, or an addition to, any federal law goveming or regulating the impacts of Development on
fand, w-ater or biological resources as they relate to Covered Species, including, but not limited
to, FES.4 and NEPA, the USFWS shall give due consideration to the measures required under
the MSHCP in applving the new la��s and re�ulations to the Permittees.
1�.8 Section 7 Consultations. The USFWS ���ill evaluate the direct, indirect, and
cumulative effects of the Co�ered Activities in its intemal FESA biological opinion issued in
connection with the MSHCP and issuance of the Section 10(a) Permit. As a result, and to the
ma�cimum e�ctent allo��able, in any consultation under section 7 of FESA subsequent to the
Effective Date in��ol��ing the Permittee(s) or entitv with Third Party Tal:e Authonration ��ith
regard to Covered Species and Co�ered Activities, the USFWS shall ensure that the FESA
biological opinion issued in connection �ti�ith the proposed project that is the subject of the
consultation is consistent with the interna! FESA biological opinion. Such projects must be
consistent with the terms and conditions of the MSHCP and this Agreement. An}� terrns and
38
�J
conditions included under the reasonable and prudent measures of a FESA biological opinion
issued subsequent to the Effective Date with regard to the Covered Species and Covered
Activities shall, to the maximum extent appropriate, be consistent with the implementation
measures of the MSHCP and this Agreement. The USFWS shall not impose measures in excess
of those that have been or will be required by the Permittee(s) or entity with Third Party Take
Authorization pursuant to the MSHCP and this Agreement. The USFWS shall process
subsequent FESA consultations for Co��ered Activities in accordance with the process and time
periods set forth in 50 Code of Federal Regulations, section 402.14. The Parties agree that ihis
section does not create an independent cause of action.
14.9 Critical Habitat Designation for Covered Species. The USFWS acknowledges
and agrees that the MSHCP and this Agreement provide a comprehensive, habitat-based
approach to the protection of Covered Species by focusing on the lands essential ror the long-
term Conservation of the Covered Species and appropriate management for those lands. This
approach is consistent �vith the overall purposes of FESA to provide a means whereby the
ecosystems upon which endangered and threatened species depend may be conserved. FESA
regulations specify that the criteria to be used in designating critica� habitat include "those
physical and biological featwes that are essential to the Conservation of a given species and that
may require special management considerations or protection." (50 C.F.R. §�24.12(b).)
The MSHCP and this Agreement provide for the protection of those physical and
biological features essential to the Conservation of the Covered Species in a manner consistent
with USFWS regulations conceming the designation of Critical Habitat. The USFWS agrees
that, to the maximum extent allowable after public review and comment, in the event that a
Critical Habitat determination is made for any Covered Species, and unless the USFWS finds
that the MSHCP is not being implemented, lands within the boundaries of the MSHCP will not
be designated as Critical Habitat. In addition, if Critical Habitat is designated within the
MSHCP boundaries, pursuant to Section 14.11 of this Agreement and except as expressl��
provided in Section 14.11 of this Agreement and Section 6.8 of the MSHCP regarding
Unforeseen Circumstances, no subsequent evaluation of the Covered Species, nor any mitigation,
compensation, Conservation enhancement or other protective measures other than those set forth
in the MSHCP will be required. Moreover, to the maximum extent allowable after public review
and comment, the USFWS agrees to reassess and revise the boundaries of exisring designated
and proposed Critical Habitat of Covered Species within the MSHCP boundaries afier its
approval, although the Parlies recognize that funding constraints may influence the timing of
such regulatory action.
14.10 Future Recovery Plans. Recovery plans under FESA delineate actions
necessary to recover and protect federally Listed Species. These plans frequently include
information, or may lead to the development of information, that can contribute to the
development of an adaptive management program. However, recovery plans do not obligate any
Permittee, individual or entity to undertake specific tasks.
The Parties acknowledge that FESA recovery plans have no effect on the
implementation of this MSHCP, except to the e�ctent that they may contribute information to, or
assist in achieving the goals of, the Management Program. Any recovery plan applicable to am�
Covered Species found in the Plan Area that is developed afier the Effective Date shall:
39
l�
A. Not require any additional land or financial compensation by Permittees;
B. Be finalized onty after the USFWS has consulted with and requested input
from the CVCC and made reasonable attempts to give notice to Plan
Participants of the preparation of the recovery plan; and
C. Not in any way diminish the Tal:e Authorization for Covered Species
granted to Pernlitiees pursuant to the MSHCP, this Agreement, or the
Section 10(a) Permit.
14.11 No Surprises Assurances and Unforeseen Circumstances.
14.1 1.1 No Surprises Assurances. The USFWS has promulgated the Habitat
Conservation P1an Assurances Rule, published in the Federal Register
on February 23, 1998 (G3 Federal Register 8859), and codified at

14.11.3 As set forth in Section 6.8.1 of the MSHCP, pursuant to the No
Surprises Rule, as long as the MSHCP is being properly implemented,
the USFWS will not require from Permittees, Third Parties Granted
Take Authorization, Participating Special Entities or other individuals
or entities receiving Take Authoriration under the Permits the
commitment of additional land, or financial compensation or
additional restrictions on the use of land or other natural resources
with regard to Covered Activities and their impact on the Covered
Species beyond the level and/or amounts specifed in the MSHCP, the
Permits and this Agreement.
14.11.4 As set forth in Section G.8.1 of the MSHCP, pursuant to the No
Surprises Rule, the USFWS has the burden of making a finding that
Unforeseen Circumstances exist with regard to any Covered Species,
using ihe best scientific and commercial data available. The findings
must be clearly documented and based upon reliable technical
information regarding the status and habitat requirements of the
affected species. In deciding whether any Unforeseen Circumstances
exist, the USFWS shall consider, but not be limited to the follo�ving
factors:
A. The e�tent of the current range of the Covered Species;
B. The percentage of the range of Covered Species and Habi�at that
has been adversel}� af'fected by the Covered Activi�ies;

C. The percentage of the range of the Covered Species and Habitat
that has been conserved by the MSHCP;
D. The ecological significance of that portion of the range or Habitat
of the Covered Species;
E. The level of knowledge about the Covered Species and Habitat and
the degree of specificity of the species �Conservation program
under the MSHCP; and
F. Whether failure to adopt additional Conservation measures would
appreciably reduce the likelihood of survival and recovery of ihe
Covered Species in the wild.
14.I 1.5 In the event the USFWS makes a finding of Unforeseen Circumstances
and such Unforeseen Circumstances warrant the requirement of
additional mitigation, enhancement or compensation measures, any
such additional measures shall be restricted to modification of the
management of the MSHCP Reserve System, and shall be the least
bwdensome measures available to address the Unforeseen
Circumstances.
14.11.6 Changed Circumstances, as described in 50 Code of Federal
Regulations section 17.22(b)(5)(i), are adequately addressed in Section
6.8.3 of the MSHCP, and Permittees shall implement any measures for
such circumstances as called for in the MSHCP, as described in
Section 1 l.3 of this Agreement.
14.12 Migratory Bird Treaty Act. The Section 10(a) Permit shall constitute a Special
Purpose Perrnit under 50 Code of Federal Regulations section 21.27, for the Take of Co��ered
Species listed under FESA and which are also listed under the MBTA (1G U.S.C. §§ 703-712), in
the amount and/or number specified in the MSHCP, subject to the terms and conditions specified
in the Section ]0(a) Permit. Any such Ta1:e will not be in violation of the MBTA. The MBTA
Special Purpose Permit will eYtend to Covered Species listed under FESA and also under the
MBTA after the Effective Date of the Section 10(a) Permit. This Special Purpose Permit shall
be valid for a period of three (3)years from its Effective Date, provided the Section 10(a) Permit
remains in effect for such period. The Special Purpose Permit shall be renewed pursuant to the
requirements of the MBTA, provided the Permittees remain in compliance with the terms of this
Agreement and the Section 10(a) Permit. Each such renewaJ shall be valid for a period of three
(3)years, provided that the Section 10(a) Permit remains in effect for such period.
14.13 Management of Land. USFWS agrees to manage its land within the MSHCP
Resen�e System pwsuant to the provisions of the Plan.
15. CDFG OBLIGATIONS AND ASSURANCES
1�.1 Issuance of NCCP Permit.
41
� ��
I5.1.1 Concurrent with the execution of this Agreement, CDFG has issued an ,
NCCP Permit to the Permittees authorizing the Ta1:e of Co��ered �
Species, subject to and in accordance with the MSHCP and this
Agreement.
15.1.2 Except as set forth in Section 15.5 of this Agreement, as to each
Covered Species, including both Listed and Unlisted Species, that
Take Authorizarion shall become effective upon issuance of the NCCP
Permit.
15.2 NCCP Permit Findings. In separate findings, CDFG has found, follo�ving
opportunity for public comment, that the MSHCP and this Agreement: 1) adequately provide for
the Conservation and management of the Covered Species and their Habitat within the MSHCP
and 2) satisfy all legal requirements under the NCCP Act necessar}� for CDFG to issue an NCCP
Permit for such species. CDFG has found that the MSHCP meets the requirements of the NCCP
Act for an NCCP Plan, and has approved the MSHCP as an NCCP Plan. In separate findings,
CDFG has fw�ther found that the MSHCP and this Agreement adequately provide for the
mitigation of potential "significant effects on the environment" (as defined in Califomia Public
Resources Code section 21068) which may result to Covered Species and their Habitat from the
Covered Activities in the Plan Area.
15.3 State Assurances. Except for the provisions in Section I5.5, provided Permittees
are implementing the terms and conditions of the MSHCP, this Agreement and the Permits, if
there are Unforeseen Circumstances, CDFG shall not require additional land, water or financial
compensation or additional restrictions on the use of land, water or other natural resources for the
life of the NCCP Permit without the consent of the Permittees, unless CDFG determines that
continued implementation of this Agreement, the MSHCP, and/or the Permits would jeopardize
the continued existence of a Covered Species, or as required by la��� and �vould therefore lead to
NCCP Permit revocation or suspension.
The Parties acknowledge that, notwithstanding the assurances provided by this
Section, future modifications to mitigation that are specifically contempiated under the MSHCP
and this Agreement may reyuire adjustments in the mitigation set forth in the MSHCP as of the
Effective Date, including, but not limited to, Take minimization measures and MSHCP Reser�e
System management. Such changes are part of the MSHCP's operating Conservation progra►n
and are not precluded by the assurances provided in this Section. In particular, this Section shall
not be construed to diminish the obligation of the Permittees, Third Parties Granted Take
Authori�ation or Participating Special Entities to undertal:e mitigation actions in response to
Changed Circumstances and to revise mitigation measures under the Management Program.
However, CDFG ackno�vledges that neither the Management Program, nor the MSHCP's
provisions conceming Changed Circumstances, are intended to require modifications to the
MSHCP's mitigation program that �vould require addiiional funding nor to impose significant
additional burd�ns on Permittees, discretionary approvals issued by Permittees, or on
Participating Special Entities with respect to Tal:e minimization measures.
1�.4 Implementation Assistance. Subject to Section 27.10 of this Agreement, CDFG
shall provide staCf to serve on appropriate committees and shall ensure the av�ilability of staf'f for
42
\ �
informal discussions and meetings with the other Parties to ensure that the implementation of this
Agreement is consistent with, and will not render invalid, any findings upon which the NCCP
Permit is based. To the extent consistent with its legal authorities, CDFG shall cooperate with
the Permittees in obtaining additional funding from sources including, but not limited to, existing
and future state and federal grant programs and existing and future bond issues.
15.5 Fully Protected Species. The following Covered Species listed in the MSHCP
are fully protected under California Fish and Game Code sections 3511 and 4700: 1) Peninsular
bighom sheep; 2) Yuma clapper rail; and 3) Califomia black rail. Take of these species is
prohibited under the California Fish and Game Code except as specifically provided in section
2081.7 of that Code. Under the NCCP permit, only CVWD is authorized to 7"ake fully protected
species, as described in that permit. Under Fish and Game Code section 2481.7, CDFG may
authorize CVWD to take Yuma clapper rail and Califomia black rail, if the requirements of that
section are met. CDFG acknowledges and agrees that if the measures set forth in the MSHCP
are fully complied with, the Covered Activities are not likely to result in Take of fully protected
species, except by CVWD. If CDFG determines that such measures are not adequate to prevent
Take of one of the Fully Protected Species, CDFG shall notify the CVCC, USFWS and other
affected Permitiees in writing of such discovery arid propose new, additional, or different
Conservation measures that it believes are necessary to avoid Take of these species. The
affected Permittees shall implement measures proposed by CDFG or such other measures agreed
to by the Parties as adequate to avoid Take of Fully Protected Species.
If at any time there is a change in state law such that CDFG may issue a section
2081(b) Permit or Take Authori�ation undec Fish and Game Code section 2835, other permit, or
authorization allowing the Take of any species subject to California Fish and Game Code
sections 3511, 4700, 4800, 5050 or 5515, the Permittees may apply for an amendment of the
MSHCP and NCCP Permit or for a new permit for s�ch species. In processing any such
application, CDFG shall give good faith consideration to Take avoidance and mitigation
measures already provided in the MSHCP and shall issue the amendment or Permit under the
same terms and conditions as the e�:isting NCCP Permit, to ihe extent permitted by law.
15.6 Changes in the Environmentai Laws. lt is acknowledged and agreed by CDFG
that the Permittees are agreeing to perform substantial avoidance, minimization, mitigation,
Conservation and management measwes set forth in this Agreement and the MSHCP. If a
change in, or addition to, the Environmental Laws tal:es place, CDFG shall give good faith
consideration to the measures required under the MSHCP in applying the new laws and
regulations to the Permitiees.
15.7 Consultations by CDFG. Except as otherwise required by law> CDFG shall not
recommend or otherwise seek to impose through consultation with other public agencies any
mitigation, compensation or habitat enhancement requirements regarding impacts to Covered
Species that exceed the requirements prescribed in and pursuant to the MSHCP and this
Agreement, including, without limitation, in the form of comments offered by CDFG in the
context of any CEQA process associated with approvals for Covered Acti�ities with re�ard to
effects on Covered Species.
43
� � D
15.8 Management of Land. CDFG agrees to manage its land within the MSHCP
Reserve S}�stem consistent with the MSHCP, along with other legal mandates and management
objectives.
16. RELATIONSI-DP TO OTHER EXISTING HABITAT CONSERVATION PLANS,
NCCP PERMITS AND SECTION 2081 PERMITS
16.1 General. The Parties acl:now�ledge that there are Habitat Conservation Plans,
biological opinions issued pursuant to section 7 and section 2081 Permits, currently in existence
for projects in the Coachella Valley and surrounding mountains within Riverside County. "I'he
Parties agree that the MSHCP is not incompatible with nor does it negate these existing plans
and Permits. Upon request, the Parties may consider consolidation of these Permits and plans
into the MSHCP.
16.2 Coachella Valley Fringe-Toed Lizard Take Authorization. The Permitees will
relinquish the Coachella Valley Fringe-Toed Lizard ("CVFTL") Section 10(a) Permit pwsuant to
50 CFR 13.26 �r�ithin six months of issuance of the MSHCP Section lU(a) Permit, which will
allow for final accounting and completion of other administrative activities under the CVFTL
HCP. Upon relinquishment of the CVFTL permit, Take Authorization for the CVFTL for
Covered Activities will be provided pursuant to the MSHCP Section 10(a) Permit. Because the
CVFTL Section 10(a) Permit will no longer exist, the consistency determination (under Fish and
Game Code section 20R0.1) which was based on such permit will also terminate. Upon issuance
of the MSHCP Section 10(a) Permit, the current fees required under the CVFTL HCP ���ill no
longer be i►nposed.
l7. THIRD PARTY TAKE AUTHORIZATION
17.1 Authorization. Upon execution of this Agreement by the Parties and the
issuance of the Permits by the Wildlife Agencies, the Permittees may allow the Take of Covered
Species b}� landowners, developers, and other private and public entiiies undertal:ing Co��ered
Activities. Such Covered Activities musi be under the direct control of the Permittees in
conformance ���ith approvals granted by the Permittees, or carried out in conformity with a
Certificate of Inclusion or other written mechanism or instrument, and in compliance �vith this
Agreement, the Pernlits and the MSHCP. As set forth in Section 11.1.1 of this Agreement,
Permittees shall include as a part of anv discretionary or certain City ministerial approrals, a
C'ertiticate of Inclusion or other writien mechanism, a condition reqwring compliance �vith the
Pernuts, the MSHCP and this Agreement, that describes the Take Authorization to be �ranted
pursuant to Section 17.2 of this Agreement. Such propertti� owners, developers, and pri��ate and
public entities shall receive Take Authorization provided they are in full compliance �vith all
requirements of this A�reement, the MSHCP, the Permits, the (mplementation Mechanism
adopted by� Permittees, issued entitlements and all other applicable requirements.
17.2 Timing of Take Authorization. Authorization of Take for Third Parties shall
occur upon issuance of a grading permit by a Local Permittee or issua�ice of a CertiCcate of
Inclusion by the CVCC or other Local Permittee. Alternatively, as an incentive to convev
properiy needed for inclusion in the MSHCP Reserve S�'stem and for «-hich monetary
compensation ��-ill not be provided, Third Party Tal:e Authorization may be granted upon project
44
\�� �
approval and property conveyance. In order to obtain this early Take Authorization, the
conveyance must occur within forty-five (45) days of project approval. Any subsequent
suspension or cevocation of Pecmits terminating Third Pacty Take Authorization will not be
applicable to the Take Authorization granted upon the project's approval, provided the property
has been conveyed and all other mitigation obligations have been satisfied, except where such
Take Authorization will jeopardize a Covered Species listed under FESA and/or CESA. In this
event, the provisions of Section 17.4 of this Agreement would be triggered. No grading permit
or Certificate of Inclusion shall be issued by a Local Permittee until all mitigation requirements
imposed by the Pern�ittees through the Implementation Mechanism have been fully satisfied or
are guaranteed to occur within a set time frame as approved by the Permiriee. In the event that
such mitigation requirements have not been satisfied prior to issuance of grading permit or
Certificate of Inclusion, the applicant and the Permittee shall enter into an agreement setting
forth the terms and conditions of MSHCP compliance and appropriate remedies for non-
compliance. The Take Authorization conferred by the Permittees to the Third Parlies shall be for
the length of time, and run concurrently with, the specific land development approval or other
entitlement or approval granted by the Permittees and the term of the Permits.
17.3 Effect of MSHCP Amendments on Third Parties. Amendments or other
revisions to the MSHCP, subsequent to the granting of Take to a Third Party by a Permittee,
shall not affect the Take conferred upon a Third Party or the level of compensation reqwred
unless the Third Parry, the Wildlife Agencies and the affected Pern�ittee all agree to such
amendmenis or revisions.
17.4 Effect of Revocation or Suspension of Permits on Third Parties. In the event
that one or both of the Wildlife Agencies revoke or suspend all or a poriion of the Take
Authorization allo�ved under the Permits, and provided the affected Permittee continues to carry
out its obligations under the MSHCP, this Agreement and the Pernvts, the Take Authorization
and other assurances granted to Third Parties Granted Tal:e Authorization by the Permittees will
remain in effect as to each individual Third Pariy project that received Take Authorization prior
to the revocation or suspension unless USFWS or CDFG determines that continuarion of the
Permits with regard to Take by Third Parties Granted Take Authorization would likelv
jeopardize a species listed under FESA and/or CESA. In this event, the CVCC, applicable
Permittee(s), Third Pariies Granted Take Authorization and Wildlife Agencies, shall meet and
confer pursuant to the provisions in Section 23.6 of this Agreement. IC these Parties cannot reach
a mutually satisfactory resolution, the Wildlife Agencies may revoke or suspend all Take
Authorization under the MSHCP for that listed species. In this event, all Loca! Permittees, Third
Pariies Granted Tal:e Authorization and Participating Special Entities would be eligible for full
or pariial refund from the CVCC or other appropriate Permittees of any mitigation contribution,
as appropriate, except to the extent that Take had already occurred. The CVCC or other
applicable Permiriee will issue a notice to all potentially affected property owners that Take
Authorization for that listed species is no longer valid under the Plan.
17.� Effect of No Surprises Assurances on Third Parties. Pursuant to the No
Surprises Rule, the Wildlife Agencies shall not require the commitment of additional land or
financial compensation or other mitigation from the Permittees, and the Permittees will not
require such comnutments from a Third Pariy pursuant to the Permits, the MSHCP or this
Agree►nent beyond those measures imposed on the Third Partv by the Local Permittee in
4�
\ 3'�c��
accordance with the Permit, the MSHCP and this Agreement, unless agreed to by the Third
Party. The Parties acknowledge that additional measures may be required for a species that is
not a Covered Species, as described in Section 11.3.5 of this Agreement.
17.6 Retention of Enforcement Authority Over Third Parties. The Parties reserve
the right to enforce all applicable federal, state, or local laws against persons or entities which
engage in unlawful land development activity without obtaining proper permits and approvals.
The Parties further reserve the right to enforce all applicable federal, state, or local laws against
Third Parties conducting land development activities within the Plan Area not in compliance
with project approvals pursuant to the MSHCP. Local Permittees have the obligation to enforce
conditions of project approval as described in Section 13.0 of this Agreement.
18. COOPERATIVE EFFORT
In order to ensure that the legal requirements set forth in this Agreement are fulfilled,
each of the Parties to this Agreement must perform certain specified tasks as set forth in this
Agreement and the MSHCP. The MSHCP and this Agreement thus describe a cooperati��e effort
by federal, state and local agencies to implement a program of Conservation for the Covered
Species.
Additionally, the Parties shall work cooperatively to enter into appropriate Memoranda of
Understanding or other appropriate agreements with any non-Party managing land �vithin the
MSHCP Reserve S��stem to manage lands in conformance and compliance with the MSHCP. A
draft Model Memorandum of Understanding is atiached hereto as Exhibit "F."
19. TERM
19.1 Effective Date. This Agreement shall be effective upon issuance of the Permits.
Any Permittee e�ecuting this Agreement after the Effective Date shall, upon execution, become
a Party to this Agreement, �vith all the rights and obligations of Parties defined herein, and this
Agreement shall be enforceable between each later esecuting Permitiee and all prior signing
Parties. �
19.2 Term of the Agreement. This Agreement shall run for a term of se��enn�-five
(75) }�ears from the Effective Date, unless terminated in accordance with Section 21 of this
Agreement or unless extended by agreement of all of the Parties hereto.
19.3 Term of the Permits. The Permits shall run for a term of seventy-five (7�) years
from the Effective Date unless terminated as provided in this Agreement, provided the
requirements of Section 1 l.l of this Agreement have been met. This term was selected as
reasonable due to the scope and breadth of the Plan, the need to establish an adequate
endowment to manage and monitor the MSHCP Reserve System and the projected grow�th and
planned inCrastructure within the Plan Area.
19.4 Extension of the Permit. Upon agreement of the Parties and in compliance �ti�ith
all applicable la��s, the Wildlife Agencies may, with respect to the Pem►its under their respecti�-e
jurisdiction, extend the Permits be}ond their initial terms under the applicable regulations in
force on the date of such e�ctension. If Permittees desire to extend the Permits, they �vill so notif��
4G
( 33
the Wildlife Agencies at least twelve (12) months before the then-current term is scheduled to
expire and submit an application to renew the Permits. Extension of the Permits constitutes
extension of the MSHCP and this Agreement for the same amount of time, subject to any
modifications agreed to by the Parties at the time of extension.
19.5 Permanent Preservation. Notwithstanding the stated term as herein set forlh,
the Pariies agree and recognize that once Take of a Covered Species and/or their habitat
modified within the Plan Area, such Take and habitat modification will be permanent. The
Parties therefore agree that obligations regarding the preservation and maintenance of the habitat
provided for under the Permits, the MSHCP and this Agreement is likewise intended to be
permanent and to e�tend beyond the term of this Agreement.
20. MODIFICATIONS AND AMENDMENTS TO TI-� MSHCP
20.1 Clerical Changes. Clerical changes to the MSHCP shall be made by the CVCC
on its own initiative or in response to a written request submitied by any Permittee or Wildlife
Agency, which includes documentation supporting the proposed clerical change. Clerical
changes shall not require any amendment to the MSHCP, the Permits or this Agreement.
Clerical changes include corrections of typographical, grammatical, and similar editing errors
that do not change the intended meaning as well as corrections of any maps or exhibits to correct
insignificant errors in mapping. The Parties anticipate ihat most clerical changes to the MSHCP
will occur during the first ten (10) years of the Permits. Annual reports shall include a summary
of clerical changes made to the MSHCP in the preceding calendar year.
20.2 Land Use Changes. The Parties agree that the adoption and amendment of
general plans, specific plans, communiry plans, zoning ordinances and similar land use
ordinances, and the granting of implementing land use entitlements by the County and the Cities
are matters within the sole discretion of the County and Cities and shall not require amendments
to this Agreement or the approval of other Parties to this Agreement. However, the Parties agree
1hat: 1) no such action by the County or the Cities shall in any way alter or diminish their
obligations under this Agreement, the MSHCP, or the Permits, and 2) approval of certain
projects may lead to revocation or suspension of the Permits pursuant to Section 23.5 of this
Agreement.
20.3 Adaptive Management Changes. Except as otherwise provided, changes to
avoidance measures, minimization, mitigation, compensation and MSHCP Reserve S}�stem
management strategies developed ihrough and consistent with the Management Program
described in Section 8.0 of the MSHCP shall not require any amendment to the MSHCP, this
Agreement or the Permits.
20.4 Minor Amendments. Minor Amendments are amendments to the MSHCP of a
minor or technical nature where the effect on Covered Species, levels of Take and Pernuttees'
ability to implement the MSHCP are not significantly different than those described in the
MSHCP as originally adopted. Minor Amendments to the MSHCP shall not require amendments
to this Agreement or the Permits.

For the minor amendments requiring Wildlife Agencies' concurrence, am�
non-concurrence must occur within sixty (60) da}�s of receipt oC the
written notice as referenced above. If the Wildlife Agencies concur or if
they fail to respond within the sixty (60) days period, the Minor
Amendment may be approved. If the Wildlife Agencies do not concur
with the analysis supporting the Minor Amendment in writing within the
60-day period, the project will be subject to a Major Amendment.
20.� Major Amendments. Major Amendments are those proposed changes to the
MSHCP and the Permits that are not clerical or Minor A►nendments. Major Amendments to the
MSHCP sha11 require a subsequent amendment to this Agreement and ihe Permits, and public
notice as reqwred by applicable la�vs and regulations. The CVCC shall submit any proposed

22.3 Termination of Permittee Take Authorization. Termination of participation by
an_y Pernuttee ���ill automaticaliy terminate Take Authorization for Covered Activities within ihat

jurisdiction that have been issued a grading permit or, if a grading permit is not required, ha��e
commenced grading activities or have been issued a Certificate of Inclusion prior to the
notification or the Permittee's formal decision to terminate, Take Authorization shall continue
under the remaining Permits provided all relevant obligations have been met pursuant to the
MSHCP, this Agreement and the Permittee's land use entitlements. In this event, the
withdra�ving Permittee may elect to continue enforcement of the Plan for the Co��ered Activities.

from the participation of the remaining Permittees, the extent to which the �vithdra���ing
Permittee has outstanding obligations for compliance �vith Take minimization and miti�ation
measures, an evaluation of whether the Permits continue to meet issuance criteria pursuant to
FESA and the NCCP Act, and any other relevant information. Such e�aluation shall include an
anal}�sis of the viabiliry of the MSHCP Reser��e S}�stem without the participation of the
52
�
��
Permittee, including whether adequate funding will be available to implement the tern�s of the
MSHCP.
23. REMEDIES AND ENFORCEMENT
23.1 Remedies in General. Except as set forth below, each Party shall have all
remedies otherwise available to enforce the terms of the MSHCP, this Agreement and the
Permits, and to seek remedies for any breach hereof, subject to the following limitations:
23.1.1 No Monetary Damages. No Party shall be liable in money damages
to any other Party or any other person for any breach of this
Agreement, any performance or failure to perform a mandatory or
discretionary obligation imposed by this Agreement or any other cause
of action arising from this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing:
A. All Parties shall retain whate��er liability they would possess for
their present and future acts, or failure to act, without existence of
this Agreement.
B. All Parties shall retain whatever liability they possess as an owner
of interests in land.
C. Nothing contained in this Agreement is intended to limit the
authority of the United States government or the govemment of the
State of CaliCornia to seek civil or crimina! penalties or othenvise
fulfill its/their enforcement responsibilities under FESA, CESA,
the NCCP Act, or other applicable la�v.
23.2 Default. Any material breach or violation of this Agreement, the MSHCP, or the
Permits shall be deemed a default under this Agreement.
23.2.1 Notice and Opportunity to Cure Default. If any Party determines that
one of the other Parties is in violation of the tarms of this Agreement,
or that a violation is threatened, that Party shall give written notice to
the violating Pam� of such violation and demand in writing the cure of
such ��iolation. If the violating Party fails to cure the violation within
forty-five (45) days after receipt of said written notice and demand
from the notif_ying Pari}�, or said cure reasonabl}� requires more than
foriy-five (45) days to complete and the violaiing Party fails to begin
the cure within the foriy-five (�15) day period or fails to continue
diligently to complete the cwe, the notifying Party may bring an action
at law or in equity in a court of competent jurisdiction to: 1) enCorce
compliance by the defaulting Party with the terms of this Agreement,
2) recover actual damages to which the notifying Pariy may be entitled
for ��iolation by the defaulting Party of the terms of this Agreement
subject to the limitations stated in Section 23.1 above, and/or 3) enjoin
the violation, ex parte as necessarv, by temporary or permanent
injunction without the necessity of proving either actual damages or
53
1 � �
the inadequacy of otherwise available legal remedies, or for other
equitable relief. The notifying Party may apply an}� damages
recovered to the cost of undertal:ing any corrective action.
23.3 Injunctive and Temporary Relief. The Parties acknowledge that the Covered
Species are unique and that their loss as species would result in irreparable damage to the
environment and therefore injunctive and temporary relief ma}� be appropriate to ensure
compliance with the terms of this Agreement.
23.4 Limitation and Extent of Enforceability. Except as otherwise specifically
provided herein, nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to restrict the rights of the
Permittees to the use of those lands, or interest in lands, constituting the Plan Area, provided that
nothing in this Agreement shall absolve the Permittees from such other limitations as may apply
to such lanas, or interest in lands, under other laws or regWations of ihe United States, the State
of California, or any local agency �vith jurisdiction over those lands.
23.5 Revocation or Suspension of the Permits. The Wildlife Agencies shall have the
right to revoke or suspend all or portions of the Permits, in accordance with the la�vs and
regulations in force at the time of such revocation or suspension. Such action may also be
triggered by: 1) fail«re oC a Permittee to implement the Implementation Mechanisms adopted by
that agency; 2) approval of a proposed Development or public project that significantl��
compromises the viabilit}� of the MSHCP Reserve System; 3) failure to comply ��ith Rough Step
requirements set forth in Section 6.5 or the MSHCP: and/or 4) withdrawal of a Permittee. Such
suspension or revocation may apply to the entire applicable Permit, or only to a portion such as
specified Conservation Area, specified Covered Species, or specified Co�ered Activities. Such
action may also be iriggered if the Wildlife Agencies determine that land within the
Conservation Areas is annexed to a non-participating public agency and thus, development of
such land could significantly compromise the viability of the MSHCP Reserve S}�stem.
E�ccept as otherwise required b�� law, prior to tal:ing action to revoke or suspend
the Permits, the Wildlife Agencies, as applicable, shall: 1) provide thirty (30) day prior writien
notification to the relevant Permittee(s) and the CVCC of ihe proposed revocation or suspension,
and 2) meet and confer with the relevant Permittee(s) and the CVCC to attempt to avoid the need
to revoke or suspend all or a poriion of the Permits. The Parties may rely upon the informal meet
and confer process set forth in Section 23.G of this Agreement for disputes conceming potential
Permit revocation or suspension.
If the Permits are suspended or revoked, Permittees shall not have the authorit}� to
rely upon the Permits to approve or carry out any actions which would violate FESA or CESA in
the absence of such Permits. In the event of suspension or revocation of the Permits, Perrrvttees'
obiigations under this Agreement and the MSHCP to carry out all of their responsibilities under
the MSHCP. the Permits and this Agreement arising from an}� Covered Activity approved,
authorired or carried out by the Permittees between the Effective Date oC the Agreement and the
date the Permits are revoked or suspended �vill continue until the USFWS and/or the CDFG
determines that all Take of Co�ered Species that occurred under the Permits has been addressed
pursuant to the ierms of the Permits. Provided the suspension or revocation is not the result of
the Permitiee(s)' failure to properly implement the MSHCP, no additional mitigation beti�ond that
�4
' I
� l
contemplated in the MSHCP and this Agreement will be required. As to any Covered Activiry of
a Third Party that is approved or authorized by a Local Permittee and for which Take is
authorized prior to the suspension or sevacation or fos Caltrastis Covered Activities for which
mitigation has already been contributed, so long as the Local Permittee and Third Party continue
to fulfill their obligations under the Permits, the Take Authorization shall continue in effect for
that project until completion pursuant to Section 23.7 of this Agreement, eYcept where such Tal:e
Authorization will jeopardize a Species listed under FESA or CESA.
23.6 Informal Meet and Confer Process for Disputes Concerning Covered
Activities, State Streambed Alteration Agreements, Federal 404 Permits, and ESA Section
7 Consistency Consultation. Conceming Covered Activities, state streambed alteration
agreements, federal 404 permits, and section 7 consistency consultations, the Parties agree to
�vork together in good faith to resolve disagreements using the informal dispute resolution
procedures set forth in ihis Section, or such other procedwes upon which the Parties may later
agree. However, if at any time a Party determines that circumstances so warrant, such Party may
seek any available remedy without waiting to complete this informal meet and confer process.
Unless the Parties agree upon another dispute resolutio:� process, or unless the
CDFG or the USFWS has initiated administrative proceedings or litigation in federal or state
court, the Parties may use the following process to attempt to resolve disputes conceming
Covered Activities, state streambed alteration agreements, federal 404 permits, and ESA section
7 consistencv consultations:
A. The CDFG and/or the USPWS will notify the CVCC in writing of:
1. disagreements they may have with the impact of a proposed
Covered Activity on a covered species,
2. the basis for CDFG's and/or USFWS's contention that the MSHCP
lacks cectain identified measures necessary to the continued
existence of the identified species, or that the MSHCP contains
measures that mav be detrimental to the continued existence of the
impacted Covered Species.
3, the basis for contending that the proposed �overed Activit� is not
consistent with the MSHCP and the Permits.
4. concems they may ha��e regarding the issuance of a state
streambed alteration agreement, a federal 404 permit, or a section 7
consistency detemlination.
B. The CVCC, in coordination with the project applicant(s), will have siYn�
(60) days, or such other time as may be agreed upon, to respond. During
this time, the CVCC, in coordination with the project applicant(s), may
seek clariGcation of the information provided in the initial notice. The
CDFG and/or the USFWS will use reasonable efforts to provide all
information available to them thai may be responsive to such inquiries.
55
1 ��
C. Within sixty (60) days after such response was provided or was due,
representatives of the Parties (and the project applicant(s) if the project
applicant(s) so chooses) having authority to resolve the dispute will meet
and negotiate in good faith toward a mutually satisfactory solution.
D. If any disagreement cannot be resolved through such negotiations, the
Parties will consider other alternative dispute resolution processes and, if a
dispute resolution process is agreed upon, �vill make good faith efforts to
resolve those remaining disagreements through that process.
23.7 Continuation Of Take Authorization after Revocation, Suspension or
Permittee Withdrawal. In the event of revocation or suspension or the Permits pursuant to
Section 23.5 of this Agreement or ���ithdrawal of a Permitiee pursuant to Section 22 of this
Agreement, any Third Party Granted Take Authorization or Participating Special Entity who is in
compliance �vith the terms and conditions of the MSHCP, this Agreement and the Permits can
automaticallv continue to receive Take Authorization from the CVCC or other remaining
Permittee upon execution of a Certificate of Inclusion or other written mechanism or instrument
issued by the CVCC or other remaining Permittee, except as otherwise required by law.
24. FORCE MAJEURE
In the event that the Permitiees are wholly or pariially prevented from perfornling
obligations under this Agreement because of unforeseeable causes beyond the reasonable control
of and without the fault or negligence of the Permittees ("Force Majeure"), including, but not
limited to, acts of God, labor disputes, sudden actions of the elements, or actions of non-
pariicipating federal or state agencies or local jurisdictions, the Permittees shall be excused from
whatever performance is affected by such unforeseeable cause to the extent so affected, and such
failure to perform shall not be considered a material violation or breach, provided that nothing in
this Section shall be deemed to authorire anti� Party to violate FESA, CESA or the NCCP Act,
and provided further that:
A. The suspension of performance is of no greater scope and no longer
duration than is reqwred by the Force Majeure;
B. Within fifteen (1�) days after the occurrence of the Force Majeure,
affected Permittees shall give the Wildlife Agencies writien notice
describing the particulars of the occurrence;
C. Pernuttees shall use their best efforts to remedy their inability to perform
(however, this paragraph shall not require the settlement of any strike,
�valk-out, lock-out or other labor dispute on terms �vhich in the sole
judgment of the Permitiees are contrary to their interest); and
D. When Pernvttees are able to resume performance of their obligations, the
affected Permittees shall give the Wildlife Agencies written notice to that
effect.

25. LEGAL AUTHORITY OF THE USFWS
The USFWS enters into this Agreement pursuant to FESA, the Fish and Wildlife
Coordination Act (16 U.S.C. sections 661-666(c)), and the Fish and WildliCe Act of 1956 (16
U.S.C. sections 742(b) et seq.). Section 10(a)(1)(B) of FESA expressly authorizes the USFWS
to issue a Section 10(a)Permit to aliow the Incidental Take of animal species listed as threatened
or endangeced under FESA. The legislative history of section 10(a)(I)(B) cleazly indicates that
Congress also contemplated that the USFWS would approve a habitat conservation plan that
protects Unlisted Species as if they were listed under FESA, and that in doing so, the USFWS
would provide assurances for such Unlisted Species. The USFWS routinely approves habitat
conservation plans that address both listed and unlisted Species.
26. LEGAL AUTHORITY OF THE CDFG
CDFG enters into this Agreement pursuant to its separate and independent authority
under the NCCP Act (Califomia Fish and Game Code sections 2800 et seq.). CDFG may
authorize the Take of Covered Species, other than fully protected species, pursuant to Califomia
Fish and Game Code section 2835.
27. MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

Agencies and the Permittees shall use reasonable efforts to respond to written requests within a
forty-five (45) day time period.
27.2 No Partnership. Except as otherwise expressly set forth herein, neither this
Agreement nor the MSHCP shall make, or be deemed to make, any Party to this Agreement the
agent for, or the parmer or joint venturer of, any other Party.
27.3 Nullification of Agreement. In the event that the Permits are not issued, this
Agreement shall be null and void and no Party shall be bound by its terms.

delivered personally, by ovemight mail, or by United States mail, certified and postage prepaid,

address as any Party may from time to time specify to the other Parties i,i writing. Notices may

personally or by ovemight or certified mail. Notices shall be transmitted so that they are
received within the specified deadlines. Notice delivered ��ia certified mail, retum receipt
requested, shall be deemed given five (5) days after deposit in the United States mail. Notices

COACHELLA VALLEY FRINGE-TOED LIZARD MOU - Appendix A
Not�: Thesr co�ulitia�s are excerpted directly from the Final Rccirculated('oachella YalleyMSH(.'P-September
2007. The numbcrs for('o�crcrvatiar Objectives and Required Measures are as they appear in the MSHCP.
1. Permittees will maintain the fluviai sand transport Essential Ecological
Process in the Cabazon, Long Canyon, and West Deception Canyon
Conservation Areas as described in Section 4.2.2.2.4.
2. The undeveloped portions of parcels in Conservation Areas on which
Development is approved by a Permittee shall count toward meeting the
MSHCP's Conservation Objectives only when the undeveloped portion of the
parcel is legally described and permanently protected through an appropriate
Legal Instrument, and provision is made for the land to be monitored and
managed pursuant to the MSHCP's Monitoring Program and Management
Program. Review of individual Development projects will occur in accordance
with the Implementation Manual.
3. Permittees will protect the fluvial sand transport Essential Ecological Process
in the Cabazon, Long Canyon, and West Deception Canyon Conservation
Areas to ensure no net reduction in fluvial sand transport in these areas.
Figure 4-5 of the MSHCP depicts these areas. The Permittees will require
that natural flows onto parcels in the fluvial sand transport areas shall be
conveyed offsite in the natural pre-disturbance direction of flow. This ensures
that Development on the property shall not impede water-borne sand
transport across the parcel in its natural direction of flow. In addition, water-
borne sediments and floodwaters shafi not be artificially retained onsite.
Concentration of flows and increase in flow velocity offsite shall be minimized
to avoid downstream erosion and scour. Alternatively, a flood control structure
for the area that is designed to ensure no net reduction of sediment transport
from the sand source area to the sand deposition area where aeolian sand
transport processes are active may be used to achieve the Conservation
Objective of fluvial sand transport. Construction of such flood control
structures, unless identified as Covered Activities in Section 7.3 of the
MSHCP, will require Wildlife Agencies' concurrence.
4. Covered Activities described in Section 7.3 of the MSHCP will adhere to the
required Avoidance/Minimization Measures for aeolian and fluvial Sand
Transport.
5. Permittees shall submit all development projects proposed in the
Conservation Areas as described in the MSHCP to the Coachella Valley
Conservation Commission (CVCC) for the Interim Project Review process as
described in Section 6.6.1.1 of the CVMSHCP.
6. Permittees will adhere to the Measures below as excerpted from the MSHCP:
A-1
�-��
4.3.1 Cabazon Conservation Area
Conservation Obiectives. The Conservation Objectives for this
Conservation Area are:
1. In total, 2,340 acres of the Cabazon Conservation Area shall be
conserved. (This may be less than the sum of acres indicated in the
following objectives because there can be overlap among areas covered
by the objectives. For example, Core Habitat for two or more species may
overlap, or Core Habitat and an Essential Ecological Process area may
overlap. The individua! acreage figures will be used in compliance
monitoring.)
2. Conserve at least 1,629 acres of the sand source areas.
5. Maintain the current capacity for fluvial (water-borne) sand transport along
4,496 acres of the San Gorgonio River and its tributaries.
6. Maintain functional Biological Corridors under I-10 by conserving at least
631 acres in the Fornat Wash Biological Corridor to maintain ecosystem
function for Covered Species. Aside from the freeway culvert, which is an
unavoidably narrow segment, the Biological Corridor shall be one mile
wide, except where Existing Uses or Indian reservation lands not subject
to the Plan preclude this width, to minimize edge effects. It should also be
noted that portions of the corridor cross Indian reservation land, which is
not a part of the Plan and over which the Plan exerts no control.
7. Coordinate with the Western Riverside County MSHCP Regional
Conservation Authority to ensure that fluvial sand transport along the San
Gorgonio River west of the Cabazon Conservation Area and functionality
of the San Gorgonio River as a Biological Corridor are maintained.
In this Conservation Area, the Essential Ecological Process of fluvial sand
transport is to be maintained on 4,496 acres through flood confrol guidelines and
land use regulation only. Of the remaining area in this Conservation Area, 47% of
the land is currently in public or non-profit conservation organization ownership.
Current conservation ranges from Level 1 to Level 3.
Required Measures for the Conservation Area. Table 4-12 shows how
many acres of Existing Conservation Lands are in this Conservation Area and
how many acres of Additional Conservation Lands will neeiJ to be acquired or
otherwise conserved through acquisition or other means. The following measures
will be imposed to achieve the Conservation Objectives in this Conservation
Area.
1. Conservation of the identified fluvial sand transport process areas will be
achieved through application of the general plan land use designations
and policies. In the fluvial sand transport areas, the Permittees will require
that natural flows onto a parcel on which Development is proposed shall
A-2
�� �
be conveyed offsite in the natural pre-disturbance direction of flow, and
will require that Development on the property shall not impede water-
borne sand transport across the parcel in its natural direction of flow. In
addition, water-borne sediments and ffoodwaters shali not be artificially
retained onsite. Concentration of flows and increase in flow velocity offsite
shall be minimized to the maximum extent Feasible to avoid downstream
erosion and scour. Altematively, a flood control structure for the area that
is designed to ensure no reduction in sediment transport from the sand
source area to the sand deposition area where aeolian sand transport
processes are active may be used to achieve the Conservation Objective
of fluvial sand transport.
2. The culvert conveying Fornat Wash under I-10 shall be maintained by
Caltrans at no less than its current size, with a soft-bottom, to maintain
current levels of sand transport and wildlife movement under I-10.
3. Outside of the fluvial sand transport Essential Ecological Process area,
the Permittees shall comply with applicable avoidance, minimization, and
mitigation measures described in Section 4.4 and the Land Use Adjacency
Guidelines as described in Section 4.5.
5. Within one year of Permit issuance, CVCC and the applicable Local
Permittee will coordinate with the Western Riverside County MSHCP
Regional Conservation Authority to ensure that fluvial sand transport along
the San Gorgonio River west of the Cabazon Con�ervation Area and
functionality of the San Gorgonio River as a Biological Corridor are
maintained.

function for Covered Species. Aside from the freeway culvert and any
Existing Use areas, which are unavoidably narrow segments, the
Biological Corridor shall expand to one mile wide to minimize edge
effects.
d. Maintain the ability of wildlife to cross Indian Avenue and Gene Autry
Trail by providing undercrossings for Coachella Valley fringe-toed
lizard, flat-tailed horned lizard, Coachella Valley round-tailed ground
squirrel, and Palm Springs pocket mouse if these roads are widened to
six lanes or more.
Required Measures for the Conservation Area. Tables 4-37a, 4-37b,
and 4-37c show how many acres of Existing Conservation Lands are in this
Conservation Area and how many acres of Additional Conservation Lands will
need to be acquired or otherwise conserved through acquisition or other means.
The following measures will be imposed to achieve the Conservation Objectives
in this Conservation Area.
1. The appropriate Local Permittee for the project will ensure that when
Gene Autry Trail and Indian Avenue are widened to six lanes, or in 2038-
39, whichever comes first, fluvial and aeolian sand transport capacity is
not reduced. Roadway design will facilitate aeolian sand transport. Sand
that accumulates upwind of either road will be deposited on the downwind
side of the road to address potential impacts to aeolian sand transport. At
the same time, the appropriate Local Permittee will also ensure that
wildlife underpasses of sufficient size, to be determined in consultation
with the Wildlife Agencies, are installed to provide for the movement of
Coachella Valley round-tailed ground squirrel, Palm Springs pocket
mouse, Coachella Valley fringe-toed lizard, and other species.
2. In the future, the Salvia Road (Micro Place) and Garnet Avenue Extension
together may create a frontage road on the south side of I-10 connecting
Indian Avenue and Gene Autry Trail. Where the road would cross Mission
Creek it must provide for fluvial sand transport along Mission Creek.
Additionally, the bridge structure or culvert must provide for the movement
of wildlife under the road.
3. CVWD will deposit sand removed from the groundwater recharge basins
during maintenance operations in the fluvial and aeolian sand transport
A-10
� t �� '
area on available Reserve Lands in a manner that downwind habitat
would receive appreciable inputs of aeolian sand from the deposits, as
determined in consultation with the RMOC. It is undcrstood that CVWD
has a sediment relocation experiment underway and that the results of the
experiment will be considered when they are available.
4. The Permittees shall comply with applicable avoidance, minimization, and
mitigation measures described in Section 4.4 and the Land Use Adjacency
Guidelines as described in Section 4.5.

and Thousand Palms Canyon Road by providing undercrossings for
Coachella Valley fringe-toed lizard, flat-tailed horned lizard, Coachella
Valley round-tailed ground squirrel, and Palm Springs pocket mouse if
these roads are widened. These undercrossings should also provide for
seed dispersal.
Required Measures for the Conservation Area. Table 4�1 shows how
many acres of Existing Conservation Lands are in this Conservation Area and
how many acres of Additional Conservation Lands will need to be conserved
through acquisition or other means. The following measures will be imposed to
achieve the Conservation Objectives in this Conservation Area.
1. The planned Whitewater Flood Control Project in this area consists of a
series of levees to provide flood protection for the Thousand Palms
community and 1-10 areas. A Section 7 consultation has been completed
on this project and a No Jeopardy determination made through the
Biological Opinion. The approved project's levees would define the
southern edge of this Conservation Area. Final project design has not
been completed, so the precise alignment has not been determined. The
final alignment may cause a minor adjustment of the Conservation Area
boundary such that the levees will not be in the Conservation Area, but will
define the edge of the area. The project includes the protection of a 550
acre floodway within the Conservation Area. The levee system will help
direct fluvial-borne sand into the depositional area where aeolian sand
transport processes will sort and transport sand downwind. O&M of the
levees will be in conformance with an 0&M Manual to be developed with
the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in consultation with the Wildlife
A-25
' ' '�� D`�
Agencies. Take associated with operation and maintenance by CVWD can
be authorized pursuant to a Minor Amendment with Wildlife Agency
concurrence. ,
2. If Ramon Road, Washington Street, and Thousand Palms Canyon Road
are widened to four lanes or more, the County will install wildlife
undercrossings for Coachella Valley fringe-toed lizard, flat-tailed horned
lizard, Coachella Valley round-tailed ground squirrel, Palm Springs pocket
mouse, and other species. Widening projects will undergo the Joint
Project Review Process set forth in Section 6.6.1.� to determine the
dimensions of the culverts or undercrossings based on site-specific
conditions and best available science.
3. Special Site Planning Standards apply in those portions of Sections 7 and
8, T4S R6E, located in the Conservation Area and with a Rural Residential
and Light Industrial general plan land use designation as of June 2004. It
is estimated that the implementation of the standards would conserve over
80% of the vacant parcels as of June 2004. To implement these
standards the Board of Supervisors must approve an overlay zone. The
standards are described below.
Site Planning Standard 1: Development on the property shall not impede
water-borne sand transport across the parcel in its natural direction of
flow.,A drainage plan for the site shall be required and demonstrate that
natural flows onto the parcel shall be conveyed offsite in the natural pre-
disturdance direction of flow. Water-borne sediments shall not be
artificially retained onsite.
Site Planning Standard 2: Developmenf shall be limited to 50% of the
parcel for parcels smaller than 4 acres in size. Development shall be
limited to 2 acres on parcels 4 acres or larger in size. The portion of each
parcel that is not Developed shall be permanently conserved as natural
open space through conveyance of fee title or conservation easement, or
through deed restriction prior to issuance of any grading permit. The
owner will be compensated by CVCC for the market value of the portion of
the parcel required to be conserved. The Local Permittee(s) shall
incorporate feasible design, orientation, or other criteria in the
Implementation Manual. The portion of the site to be conserved shall be
determined consistent with attainment of Site Planning Standard 1 and the
maximization of aeolian sand transport relative to adjacent parcels to the
extent Feasible. This portion of the property shall not be fenced.
Site Planning Standard 3: Onsite driveways shall be at grade, without
gutters, curbs, berms, or other elevated areas that may impede or divert
the passage of water-borne or wind-borne sand.
4. CVCC shall continue the acquisition of vacant parcels in those portions of
Sections 7 and 8, T4S R6E, located in the Conservation Area at market
value from willing sellers as a high priority so long as vacant parcels
remain. CVCC shall maintain $500,000 available at all times for
A-26
�_ ^
��
acquisitions in Sections 7 and 8 until all vacant land has been acquired or
Developed consistent with the Conservation Objectives and required
measures.
5. CVCC and the County shall develop and implement a land exchange
program within Sections 7 and 8, T4S R6E, which will maximize
attainment of the Conservation Objectives by encouraging Development to
occur in the least sensitive portions of the sections or outside the
Conservation Area. CVCC and the County shall consult with the Wildlife
Agencies and ISAs to determine the least sensitive portions of the area
and the highest priority parcels for Conservation. As appropriate, the land
exchange program will include incentives to encourage landowners to
exchange parcels with high priority for Conservation for parcels in the
least sensitive portions of the sections or outside the Conservation Area.
6. A Conservation to Development ratio of 9:1 shall be maintained within
Section '21, T4S R6E, south of Ramon Road to maintain the functionality
of the fluvial and aeolian sand transport systems. The Local Permittee(s)
shall incorporate feasible design, orientation, or other criteria in the
Implementation Manual. The 9:1 criteria would not apply to single-family
homes, emergency response activities, or any non-commercial accessory
uses and structures including but not limited to second �nits on an existing
legal lot. If it appears that the ratio may not be maintained, the appropriate
Local Permittee(s) will meet with the Wildlife Agencies and identify
additional means or alternative methods that will be implemented to
achieve these objectives, including an accelerated acquisition program
and/or� Development standards to maintain fluvial and aeolian sand
transpo�t. The requirements for Development in floodp(ains a(so help
ensure that sand transport capacity is maintained. See Figure 4-16f.
Special Site Planning Standards apply in this area located in the
Conservation Area and with a Rural Residential and Light Industrial
general plan land use designation as of June 2004. To implement these
standards the Board of Supervisors must approve an overlay zone. The
standards are described below.
7. The alignment for Rio Del Sol from approximately Vista Chino to 2ptn
Avenue in this Conservation Area identified in the Circulation Element of
the Riverside County General Plan could create significant Habitat
fragmentation, impact fluvial sand transport, and disrupt a Biological
Corridor. Therefore, construction of Rio Del Sol through the Conservation
Area from approximately Vista Chino to 20�h Avenue would require a Major
Amendment to the Plan.
8. The alignment for 22"d Avenue from Rio Del So( to Sky Ridge in this
Conservation Area identified in the Circulation Element of the Riverside
County General Plan could create significant Habitat fragmentation,
impact fluvial sand transport, and disrupt a Linkage between Conservation
Areas, Therefore, construction of 22"d Avenue through the Conservation
A-27
�� `�
Area from Rio Del Sol to Sky Ridge would require a Major Amendment to
the Plan.
9. If an e�ension of Chase School Road is construc;ed in the future,
Riverside County will realign the proposed extension of Chase School
Road, also known as Chocktaw Rd. and Vista del Pajaro, to an alignment
outside the Conservation Area.
10. The Permittees shall comply with applicable avoidance, minimization, and
mitigation measures described in Section 4.4 and the Land Use Adjacency
Guidelines as described in Section 4.5.
11. If the Monitoring Program for the Conservation Area indicates that bird
predation of Coachella Valley fringe-toed lizards or flat-tailed horned
lizards is a problem because of the use of IID overhead power lines and
poles, IID will consult with the Reserve Unit Management Committee to
identify appropriate Adaptive Management measures for it to implement.

authorized wer.e calculated using private land in 1996 in the Thousand Palms Conservation Area and do
not include the 147 acres of disturbance authorized for Section 8. Therefore,to obtain the total authorized
disturbance for the Thousand Palms Conservation Area for these species, the 147 acres of disturbance
authorized for Section 8 should be added.
