This report documents the completion of biological construction monitoring for Cannon
Road Reach 2. This report covers ,a monitoring period of October 2002 through March
2003. During this period, the level of heavy construction activities on the site was
significantly reduced. At the beginning of 2003, roadway construction was essentially
complete, and on 31 March 2003 AMEC conducted the final construction monitoring visit
for this project. The roadway was dedicated and opened for operation on 30 April 2003.
Between October 2002 and December 2002, construction activity on Reach 2 included
the completion of underground drainage installation, fine grading activity on the
roadway, and installation of the asphalt and concrete roadways and sidewalks.
Landscaping and revegetation activities were also conducted. After the beginning of the
year, construction activities were substantially reduced. A final visit was conducted in
March 2003 to verify completion of construction and document the site conditions.
No violations were observed during this reporting period. The observations made during
this reporting period are included in the attached construction monitoring forms. Digital

Construction Monitoring Report for August and September 2002
Dear Ms. Howard:
AMEC Earth & Environmental, Inc. (AMEC) submits this monthly biological construction
monitoring letter report for Reach 2 of the Canon Road West - City Project No. 3184, for the
City of Carlsbad, California for your records. This report covers the months of August and
September 2002.
The project has permits with the United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), Biological
Opinion (B. 0.) on Cannon Road (Reaches 1 and 2); U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (ACOE)
Permit Application No. 97-201 30-TCD, City of Carlsbad, California (1-6-97-F-51); California
Department Fish and Game (CDFG) Section 1601 Streambed Alteration Agreement No. 5-044-
97; CDFG 'California Incidental Take Permit - Permit No. 2081-1998-05-5; and California
Coastal Commission (CCC) Coastal Development Permit No. 6-97-11. According to the
project's permit condition, monthly biological monitoring reports must be sent to the USFWS,
ACOE, CDFG, and CCC.
Activity on Reach 2' during the months of August and September included primarily
underground water pipe and drainage installation. Trenching and Some earthmoving occurred
within the project footprint during this period. The adjacent Kelly Ranch development site is
very active. The Cannon Road construction site was less active and construction monitoring
during this period was reduced. During the end of the monitoring period, activity on the site had
increased and monitoring activities will increase in the next period.
No violations were observed during this reporting period. On September 41h and 5th, an AMEC
monitor was onsite during the removal of pampas grass and other exotics within the project
footprint on the north slope of the roadway in the east end. This exotic removal was conducted
in preparation for hydroseeding of the slope. AMEC contacted the city in early September, prior
to the first forecasted rainfall, to ensure proper erosion control measures were in place. Minor,
isolated, unseasonable rainfall events have occurred during this period. All erosion control
BMPs have been implemented at this time in preparation for the upcoming rainy season.

No violations were observed during this reporting period. Recommendations during this period
include a minor silt and environmental fence repair (approximately 20-foot). The dewatering of
the sewer line trench in the east end was completed during July, but dewatering was initiated
again in early August. AMEC was requested to investigate the location of an expansion to an
existing headwall structure north of the road in the east end. Construction of the headwall
would require clearing of riparian vegetation that had overgrown the existing headwall since its
construction. AMEC determined that the riparian vegetation immediately adjacent the proposed
headwall site is potential habitat for listed species (LBV, LFCR). Focused surveys for these
species were not conducted. AMEC recommended delaying work on the headwall until after
the breeding season (i.e., after September 15). Additionally, the Biological Oinion for the

Activity on Reach 2 during the month of Mayl included primarily underground storm drain, sewer
pipe, and drainage installation. Trenching and some earthmoving occurred within the project
footprint during this period. The adjacent Kelly Ranch development site is very active with
heavy equipment,
No violations were observed during this reporting period. Recommendations during this period
included a minor silt fence repair (approximately 20-foot) in a non-sensitive area. During this
. reporting period, the sewer line trench that runs the length of the Reach 2 was being
dewatered. Water is being-pumped from the trench through fire hoses into a 'Dirtbag' that
empties through silt fences into the adjacent lagoon. A generator, is running continuously at this
dewatering location at the east end, and the water is pumped out at two locations near the
generator. AMEC contacted the City Inspector immediately upon observing. this process to
question him on methods and appropriate implementation of BMPs. The City Inspector
indicated that this dewatering process was approved and all appropriate BMPs were being
applied. Some minor erosion has been observed . in the location where the water exits the
dirtbags. A two-striped garter snake was observed where the water exits the dirtbag. As
reported last month, the California gnatcatchers continue to occupy the northern coastal sage
scrub slope between the Reach 2 project area and the lagoon.

bear Ms. Howard:
AMEC Earth & Environmental, Inc. (AMEC) submits this monthly biological construction
monitoring letter report for Reach 2 of the Canon Road West - City Project No. 3184,
for the City of Carlsbad, California for your records. This report covers the month of
April 2002.
The project has permits with the United States Fish-and Wildlife Service (USFWS),
Biological Opinion (B. 0.) on Cannon Road (Reaches 1 and?); U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers (ACOE) Permit Application No. 97-20130-TCD, City of Carlsbad, California
(1-6-97-F-51); California DepartmentFish and Game (CDFG) Section 1601 Streambed
Alteration Agreement No. 5044-97; CDFG, California Incidental TakePërmit— Permit
No. 2081-1998-05-5'; and California Coastal Commission (CCC) Coastal.Development
Permit No. 6-97-11. and to the project's permit condition, monthly biological
monitoring reports must be sent to the USFWS, ACOE, CDFG, and CCC.
Activity on Reach 2 during the month of April included primarily underground storm
drain, sewer pipe, and drainage installatiän. Trenching and some earthmoving occurred
Within the project footprint during this period. The adjacent Kelly Ranch development
site is very active with heavy equipment.. -
Recommendations during this-period included minor environmental and silt fence repair.
At one location (Sta. 86+39), a storm drain outfall was being installed that empties into
the lagoon north of Cannon Road. Environmental and silt fencing was not properly
installed according the plans in this location (limiting the area of work)and had to be'
reinstalled. This 'northside notch' was reinstalled properly and according to the
approved plans. During riprap installation at thenorthside notch', fencing was damaged
but impacts did not occuroutside the project boundaries. Subsequent visits tothe site
verified that the fencing repair was conducted promptly.

During monitoring in the 'northside notch' area of the site, a gnàtcatcher pair and a
solitary male gnatcatcher were Observd foraging on the coastal.,sage scrub slope
between the project area and the lagoon: The pair was first observed on April 5 at 4:30
pm and was immediately reported to the City of Carlsbad project manager. Nesting was
not observed and construction activities on, site were limited, therefore no
recommendations to stop or limit work were made. AMEC biologists met with the City
on April 8 at 8 am to monitor the birds. One pair was observed on the same slope in a'
different location. No nesting was observed. On.April 23 during a regular construction
monitoring visit, the pair was observed on the same slope north of. the project area and
the single male gnatcatcher..was observed for the first time on the same slope. To date,
no nesting activities have been observed. No restrictions on construction activities in
relation to gnatcatchers are included in either-the Biological Opinion or' the 4d Permit for
the project. The project area is located at the top of a steep slope that descends to the
lagoon approximately 50 feet below. This embankment shields some the construction
noise from the habitat on the slope. AMEC biologists recommended continued
monitoring of the birds and avoidance of heavy construction in the area during the
breeding season. Should nesting be observed, the City will be notified immediately and
actions may need to be implemented to avoid disturbing, the birds.
No violations were observed during this reporting period. No substantial rain event
occurred during this period, 'and no erosion or sedimentation issues have been observed.

Subject: Cannon Road West-City Project No. 3184, Monthly Biological
Construction Monitoring Report for March 2002
Dear Ms. Howard:
AMEC Earth & Environmental, Inc. (AMEC) submits this monthly biological construction
monitoring letter report for Reach 2 of the Canon Road West
- City Project No. 3184, for the City of Carlsbad, California for your records. This report covers the end of
February and the month of March 2002.
The project has permits with the United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS),
Biological Opinion (B. 0.) on Cannon Road (Reaches 1 and 2); U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers (ACOE) Permit Application No. 97-20130-TCD, City of Carlsbad, California
(1-6-97-F-51); California Department Fish and Game (CDFG) Section 1601 Streambed
Alteration Agreement No. 5-044-97; CDFG California Incidental Take Permit
- Permit No. 2081-1998-05-5; and California Coastal. Commission (CCC) Coastal Development
Permit No. 6-97-11. According to the project's permit condition, monthly biological
monitoring reports must be sent to the USFWS, ACOE, CDFG, and CCC.
The last monthly monitoring report for this project was submitted for October 2000 and
covered the completion of construction activities on Reach 1. Monthly construction
monitoring was not reinitiated until work began on Reach 2 of the project, which began
in late February 2002. Activity on Reach 2 during this reporting period included primarily
underground sewer pipe and drainage installation. Trenching and some earthmoving
occurred within the project footprint during this period. The adjacent Kelly Ranch
development has also begun construction and that site is very active with heavy
equipment.
Recommendations during this period included minor environmental and silt fence repair.
At one location (Sta. 87+46), the environmental fence had previously been installed
improperly, which reduced the project foOtprint at the location of a storm drain. The
approved plans indicated a 'notch' in the project corridor at this location. AMEC
monitored the placement of the reinstalled environmental fencing to ensure compliance.
subsequent visits to the site verified the reinstalled fencing and minor repair work to
existing fencing. .
