A design error was discovered which requires the installation of
the sewer lines at a greater depth than was shown on the original
plans. This is necessary to match the elevations of the sewer
lines on the adjoining Faraday Street Improvement project and the
Cannon Road Reach 2 project. Costs for this work is the City's
responsibility since it would have had to be done anyway.
Additional manual air release valves were requested by the
CMWD at two locations.
Cathodic protection was requested by the CMWD to protect the
water and reclaimed water lines from corrosion.

ANSWERS TO BIDDERS INQUIRIES:
Letter No. 1
1. Is the median planter shown at Sta. 63+15 to be included with Schedule B (it is
part of the irrigation system per sheet 97). Or is it to be part of the base bid per
the stationing?
RESPONSE - It is a part of the base bid.
2. The Base Bid Schedule shows bid item for Hydroseed mixes #3, #l, and #2 (bid’
items l-43, I-44, l-45 respectively). As shown on plan sheets 108, 109 and 110
hydroseed mix’s #l and #3 are labeled NOT A PART.. .
a. The plan sheets noted are inconsistent in their labeling from sheet to
sheet as to areas that are NOT A PART. For example sheet 108 shows
Hydroseed mix #3 as NOT A PART, sheet 109 is not labeled as such
while sheet 110 is labeled NOT A PART. It appears that sheet 109 should
have had the mix #3 labeled as NOTA PART. Is this assumption correct?
b. The Base Bid schedule shows bid items (l-43 and I-44) for Hydroseed
mixes #3 and #l. The plans show these areas as NOT A PART
(reference part a. above). Please clarify.
C. The same problem exists with the plans and Bid Items for Bid Schedules
A and B. These need the same clarification as requested above.
RESPONSE - Hydroseed Mix has been clarified in Addendum No. f
3. The point of connection falls within the bidding limits of Additive Bid Schedule B
(sheet 96, Sta. 54+21). Should this POC plus any mainline, controllers and
wiring, and stub-outs for additive Schedule A and B valves with wiring be
included in the Base Bid amount? The pricing request for items l-46, A-57, and
B-29 all read the same “Permanent median irrigation system including service
and capacity fee at so that the bid schedules do not provide the answer.
RESPONSE - The POC is a part of Additive Alternative 6
CANNON ROAD WEST
ADDENDUM NO. 2 - PROJECT NO. 3184
Page 2 of 7
4. Please refer to Section 308-2, page 233 of the specifications.
a. The specifications ask to “remove all rock and debris over %” in diameter”. While it makes sense to remove all debris in all areas and rock in the
median planters, it makes no sense to remove rock down to this level in
the areas receiving the “naturalized” hydroseed mixes. Any rock in these
areas will have no detrimental or aesthetic impact on the hydroseeding.
Does the project budget include costs to rock pick the entire project?
RESPONSE - No, only on the planted median areas.
b. The specifications refer to soil preparations for the entire project. Most of
the project may receive “naturalized” hydroseed mixes. Soil preparation
of the types specified are detrimental to these mixes and are not used.
Add to this that most of the areas are 2:l sloped of which it is not practical l
to cultivate soil amendments as specified into the upper 6 inches and
which will increase the risk of unstable, erodable soils that cannot be held
in olace bv matting. Please clarify the City’s intentions.
RESPONSE - Only cultivate in the median.
5. Specification section 3084.10 (page 235) specifies the installation of erosion
control matting. It would seem to indicate its installation in the hydroseed areas.
Will this occur in all of the hydroseed areas including the flat areas? Is there a
slope ratio upper and lower limit (i.e., 2:1, 3:l) as to where it will be installed?
RESPONSE - Matting is only to be placed on the slopes
Letter No. 2
1. Bark mulch specified on bid form is not shown on drawings. Could you please
specify bark mulch material and depth of installation.
RESPONSE - 212-1.2.5(e) Type 5 mulch will be used in the medians.
2. Drawing #IO9 shows hydroseed mix #l on north side and mix #3 on south side
of Cannon Road. Are we to include in bid?
RESPONSE - Between Sta. 64+00 to Sta. 66+00, hydroseed mix #f in areas of
disturbance from grading operation, Sta. 68+00 to Faraday hydroseed per plan.
/- CANNON ROAD WEST
ADDENDUM NO. 2 - PROJECT NO. 3184

3. Hydroseed mix #2 shown in parkways. Are we to install for entire project?
RESPONSE - Yes.
4. Is it safe to assume there will be no rock pick on hydroseed slope areas as
specified per section 308-2.
RESPONSE - That is correct.

Subject: Additional Geotechnical Engineering Recommendations
Macario Canyon Bridge Embankment
Cannon Road West
Carlsbad, California
Woodward-Clyde Reference No. 955 11302-EC0 1
Dear Ms. Howard:
Jn accordance with our proposal dated June 8, 1998 and your Authorization dated June 22,
1998, Woodward-Clyde International-Americas (Woodward-Clyde) is pleased to present this
letter providing supplemental geotechnical recommendations for the east embankment of the
Cannon Road Macario Canyon Bridge.
The purpose of our supplemental work was to provide information to assist the City of Carlsbad
and their consultants in project design and scheduling. Jn particular, our work consisted of
evaluating the potential for installation of the pile foundations prior to completion of the
consolidation period and evaluating alternatives for acceleration of the consolidation period.
BACKGROUND
For our study, we have discussed the project with Ms. Sherri Howard of the City of Carlsbad,
Mr. Chuck Collins of O’Day Consultants and Mr. Jim Rucker of McDaniel Engineering
Company, Inc. We have also been provided with a preliminary construction schedule for the
project.
Woodward-Clyde has prepared numerous reports for the Cannon Road project. The following
reports contain recommendations relevant to the Macario Canyon Bridge:
l “Geotechnical Investigation Cannon Road - Reach 2, Carlsbad, California,” prepared for
O’Day Consultants, dated August 26, 1996

a “Geotechnical Investigation Cannon Road Bridge Over Macario Canyon, Carlsbad San
Diego, California,” prepared for the Buie CorporatiotKarlsbad Development Company and
Ranch0 De1 Cerro Joint Venture through P&D Technologies, dated January 10, 1989
In addition, we have reviewed plans entitled “Cannon Road West Street Improvements, STA.
36+17.72 to 124.86.39” prepared by O’Day Consultants, dated February 19, 1998, including
structural plans for Cannon Road Bridge over Macario Canyon prepared by McDaniel
Engineering.
The Macario Bridge site is underlain by shallow fill and up to approximately 100 feet of alluvial
soils that consist of erratically interbedded layers of soft to firm clays and loose to medium
dense sands. Current design of the embankment includes installation of prefabricated vertical
(PV) drams on 5-foot centers and placement of a 5-foot high soil surcharge to accelerate the
consolidation time. Several PV drain spacings and associated consolidation waiting periods
were presented in our March 2, 1990 report and verified in our August 26, 1996 report. Due to
the scheduling constraint of completing pile installation for Abutment 6 by March 1, 1999, we
have been requested to evaluate either installation of driven pile foundations prior to completion
--of the estimated consolidation periods or accelerating the consolidation period.
PILE INSTALLATION
Our 1989 report contained recommendations that the Abutment 6 piles not be installed until the
embankment fills stabilized and settlement was essentially complete. We also recommended
that the driven pile foundation be designed with a downdrag load of 50 tons for each 12x12-
inch square pile to account for potential liquefaction-induced negative skin friction. The project
plans for Abutment 6 include 18 battered piles and 10 vertical HP 14x117 steel piles. The
effects of additional consolidation of the soils subsequent to driving piles would be induced
downdrag loads on the vertical and battered piles and induced bending stresses on the battered
piles. Based on a June 29, 1998 conversation with Mr. Jim Rucker of McDaniel Engineering,
the project structural engineer, we understand that bending stresses would be detrimental to the
battered piles and should be avoided. Therefore, it is recommended that the battered piles not
be driven before the majority of the consolidation is complete.

CONSOLIDATION
Based on the structural requirement of completing the consolidation period prior to pile
installation so that settlements-induced bending stresses are not induced on the battered piles,
we have evaluated methods of reducing the consolidation period. Consolidation of the soil can
be acelerated by reducing the distance to a free drainage path (PV drain spacing), or by
increasing the magnitude of the applied load (surcharge height above the final embankment). It
is our opinion that reducing the PV drain spacing closer than 5 feet would not be practical.
Due to the low strength of the alluvial soils, fill placement for the embankment was divided into
two stages to allow for the soils to increase in strength prior to placing the Stage 2 fill. Our
1990 report recommended that the Stage 2 fill with 5-foot surcharge should not exceed a total
of 25 feet in height. Our review of the provided construction schedule indicates a 4 week
period for placement of the Stage 2 fill. Our evaluation of the gradual increase in soil strength
during this 4 week period indicates that a IO-foot surcharge should not cause subsurface
instability; however, monitoring of instrumentation during fill placement may dictate the
allowable rate of fill placement.
Waiting periods for a 5-foot PV drain spacing and various surcharge heights are presented
below.

The settlement periods are calculated following placement of the full stage height and assume at
least 3 weeks to place each stage. An 8 week waiting period is estimated between the stages.
Analysis of the settlement monitoring surveys during the settlement period will assist us in
evaluating the permissible rate of settlement and projecting the completion date. However, due
to stability concerns, we do not recommend placing surcharge heights in excess of 10 feet
during Stage 2 filling. Additional surcharge heights after completion of Stage 2 may be

recommended following review of the projected completion date and the actual construction
schedule.
It should be recognized that the prediction of consolidation rates is approximate and for use in
project planning. Actual settlement periods may be longer or shorter than those presented
above and will be evaluated based on instrumentation monitoring during construction.

To minimize disturbance of the subsoil, the mandrel or sleeve shall have a maximum
cross-sectional area of ten square inches (in*). The mandrel or sleeve shall be sufficiently stiff
to prevent wobble or deflection during installation.
The mandrel or sleeve shall be provided with an anchor plate or similar arrangement at the
bottom to prevent the soil from entering the bottom of the mandrel during the &tallation of the
drain and to anchor the drain tip at the required depth at the time of mandrel withdrawal. The
anchor shall hold the bottom of the PV drain in position so as to allow less than one foot of
movement when retracting the mandrel. The dimensions of the anchor shall conform as closely
as possible to the dimensions of the mandrel so as to minimize soil disturbance. The projected
cross-sectional area of the mandrel and anchor combination shall not be greater than 12 square
inches (in’). The tip of the anchor shall be shaped so that it can punch through the working
pad, filter fabric, and aggregate base and filter fabric without the need for pre-auguring.
Anchoring shall be performed in accordance with the manufacturer’s recommendations.
Prior to installation of prefabricated drains within the designated areas, the Contractor shall
demonstrate that his equipment, method, and materials produce a satisfactory drain installation
in accordance with these specifications. For this purpose, the Contractor will be required to install up to ten trial drains at locations designated by the Engineer. The trial drains will be
accepted as permanent drains if installation satisfies the requirements of this specification.
Approval by the Engineer of the method and equipment used to install the trial drains shall not constitute, necessarily, acceptancelus of the method for the remainder of the project. If, at any
time, the Engineer considers that the method of installation does not produce a drain which
satisfies the project requirements, the Contractor shall alter his method and/or equipment as
necessary to comply with these specifications at his cost.
Prefabricated drains will be located, numbered, and staked out by the Contractor at the grid pattern shown on the Plans, or as directed by the Engineer, using a base line, benchmark, and
starting location provided by the Engineer. The Contractor shall take all reasonable precautions
to preserve the stakes. The locations of the drains shall not vary by more than six inches from the locations indicated on the drawings or as directed by the Engineer. Drains that are out of
their proper location by more than six inches, or drains that are damaged during installation or
43 1108198 Contract No. 3184 Page 194 of 249 Pages
subsequent construction, or drains that are improperly completed shall be rejected by the
Engineer, and no compensation will be allowed for any materials furnished or for any work
performed on such drains. PV drain locations near the edge of the working pad and the
perimeter drain shall be adjusted so as to not damage the drain pipe. PV drain locations in this area that need to be moved more than two feet require the approval of the Engineer prior to
installation.
The drains shall be installed following placement of the aggregate base and working pad shown
on the .Plans. The drains shall be installed to a depth of 80 feet, or to such a depth where the
soil resists a reasonable effort at further penetration. Estimated depth to the base of alluvial
soils is shown on the Plans. Such depth is subject to considerable uncertainty and shall be
verified in the field based on the PV drain installation record or by other means recommended
by the Engineer. The Engineer may vary the depths, spacing, or the number of drains to be
installed and may revise the Plan limits for this work as necessary.
The installation equipment shall be carefully checked for plumbness prior to advancing each
drain. The mandrel shall not deviate more than l/4-inch per foot from the vertical, and the
Contractor shall provide the Engineer with a suitable means of verifying the plumbness of the
- mandrel.
-. Prefabricated vertical drains shall be installed with a continuous push using static weight and
vibration (if approved by the Engineer to penetrate sand and gravel layers). The mandrel
penetration rate should be between l/2 and 2 feet per second. The installation shall be
performed without damaging the drain during advancement or retraction of the mandrel. In no
case will alternate raising or lowering ofthe mandrel during advancement be permitted. Raising of the mandrel will only be permitted after completion of a drain installation. Installation
techniques requiring driving will not be permitted. Pre-auguring may be permitted only after
receiving written approval from the Engineer.
Use of jetting equipment attached to the mandrel may be permitted upon written approval of the
Engineer. Jetting will not be permitted if excess water is created which would require special treatment (such as the use of a retention basin). It will be contingent upon the environmental
regulations pertaining to discharge of excess water. The additional costs associated with jetting
will be the responsibility of the Contractor. Pre-jetting will not be permitted.
It may be necessary to use pre-auguring to clear obstructions and to facilitate the installation of
the drains through the working platform or a stiffer natural deposit. The depth to which
pre-auguring is used shall be subject to the approval of the Engineer. The method of
advancement is subject to the approval of the Engineer; however, such approval shall not
relieve the Contractor of his responsibility to advance the drains in accordance with these
specifications. If pre-auguring is used, the augers shall have a minimum outside diameter equal to the largest horizontal dimension of the mandrel, shoe, or anchor, whichever is greatest.
The maximum outside diameter of the auger shall be no more than three inches greater than
the minimum outside diameter of the mandrel, shoe, or anchor, whichever is greatest.
Where unidentified obstructions or firm soils are encountered below the working pad surface
which cannot be penetrated by the drain installation equipment, the Contractor shall complete the drain from the elevation of refusal to the working surface and notify the Engineer. The
Engineer may approve or direct the use of pre-auguring at this time. At the direction of the
Engineer, the Contractor shall attempt to install a new drain within an 18-inch radius from. the
obstructed drain. A maximum of two (2) attempts shall be made, as directed by the Engineer.
If the drain still cannot be installed to the design tip elevation, the drain location shall be
abandoned and the installation equipment shall be moved to the next plan location. The
PQ * l/08/98 Contract No. 3184 Page 195 of 249 Pages
Contractor may be required to take other action if refusal occurs at more than two (2) adjacent
plan locations. The Contractor shall be paid for all obstructed drains at the Contract unit price
per foot unless the drain is improperly completed.
After installation, the Contractor shall cut each drain flush with the working pad surface. The
drain material shall be cut neatly at its upper end.
Splices or connections in the vertical drain material shall be done in a manner so as to ensure
continuity and no diminishing of the flow characteristics of the wick material. Splices shall be
constructed so that the core material on each side is in direct contact and has a minimum six- inch overlap. A maximum of one splice per drain installed will be permitted without specific
permission from the Engineer.
The Contractor shall supply to the Engineer, at the end of each working day, a summary of the
PV drains installed that day. The summary shall include total number of drains, location,
lengths (to the nearest one foot), and tip elevation of each PV drain installed.
-.

drains which are not anchored to the required depth, except as noted under 300-8.2 above. PV
drains placed in excess of the length designated on the Contract drawings shall not be paid for
unless the additional length was authorized by the Engineer prior to or during the drain installation. Payment for PV drains shall be made at the contract unit price per linear foot. This
price shall be full compensation for the cost of furnishing the full length of PV drain material, installing the PV drain, altering the equipment and methods of installation in order to produce
the required end result in accordance with the Contract drawings and specifications. The Contract unit price shall also include the cost of furnishing all tools, materials, labor, equipment,
and all other costs necessary to complete the required work. No payment shall be made for unacceptable drains. No direct payment shall be made for drains or for any delays or expenses
incurred through changes necessitated by improper material or equipment. The costs of such
shall be included in the unit price bid for this work. Payment for accepted trial drains shall be at
the bid price per linear foot for the PV drains. Payment shall also include changes necessary to
lower the mast or mandrel in the area of possible overhead power line obstruction. Payment for
accepted trial drains will be at the bid price per linear foot for the production drains. Payment
will not be made for installing unsatisfactory trial drains.
Obstruction clearance by auguring shall be measured by the linear foot. The length of
obstruction clearance to be paid for shall be the actual length augered to the penetrate the
obstruction. The obstruction clearance depth is subject to verification by the Engineer. Obstruction clearance by means other than pre-auguring shall be subject to the prior approval
of the Engineer. Obstruction clearance shall not be paid for unless the use of the necessary
equipment is authorized by the Engineer prior to its use and the Engineer verifies the penetration length. Payment for obstruction clearance using auguring shall be made at the
Contract unit price per linear foot. This price shall be full compensation for the cost of

Concurrent Mitiaation Option
The permittee (City of Carlsbad) shall provide concurrent mitigation for direct impacts to 1.0
acre and 0.73 acre of riparian vegetation in Cannon Road Reaches 1 and 2, respectively, as
follows:
1. Mitigation which is to occur concurrent with project impacts shall be performed at a 3:l ratio. As such, the permittee shall provide 5.19 acres of mitigation for 1.73 acres of
concurrent impact.
2. A total of 2.17 acres of the required mitigation shall be in form of the creation of
vireo-quality habitat and will occur as follows: 1.73 acres in Macario Canyon, upstream
from the Cannon Road bridge crossing, and 0.44 acre at the existing Kelly Ranch dirt
road at El Camino Real (Figure 1). The habitat creation and monitoring plans (to include
at least five years of monitoring, as well as success criteria and contingency measures)
must be reviewed and approved by the United States Fish and Wildlife Service (Service)
and California Department of Fish and Game.
3. The remaining 3.02 acres of the.required mitigation shall be in the form of restoration of
riparian vegetation (establishment of vireoquality habitat, including a-minimum of five
years of monitoring, as well as success criteria and contingency plans) within the
186-acre Agua Hedionda Preserve (as described in the P.A.R. prepared by the Center
for Natural Lands Management), or other area approved by the Senrice and California
Department of Fish and Game.
4. The restoration may occur prior to or concurrent with project impacts, or $114,420’ per
acre ($345,548 total) may be paid to an endowment fund for the required restoration of
3.02 acres. Under the latter circumstance, the full amount of these funds shall be
placed in an interest-bearing account for the identified restoration efforts. The habitat
restoration and monitoring plans (to include at least five years of monitoring, and
success criteria and contingency measures) must be reviewed and approved by the
Service. Documentation to demonstrate the establishment of this account shall be
provided to the Service and California Department of Fish and Game.
5. If, after three years, a suitable owner/manager for the Agua Hedionda preserve has not
been identified, the Service shall provide notice to the permittee that they have 90 days
in which to proceed with the creation program in another area approved by the Service
and California Department of Fish and Game. At this time, the $345,548 would be
transferred to the permittee to be utilized for this purpose.

The Service will not need to re-initiate consultation to add conditions which aliow for
mitigation which will occur concurrent with project impacts, rather we can just
amend Biological Opinion 1-6-97-F-5 1 to include these conditions. The-most
expeditious way for this to be accomplished is for the City to write a letter to the
U.S. Army Corps of Engineers requesting that these conditions be added to the 404,
and indicating that the Service can amend the BO to include if acceptable.
Attached please find the Service’s (draft) recommended wording for these conditions.
We have tried to ensure that if, for some reason, a management entity is not found
for the X86-acre Agua Hedionda Preserve, the City may still fuifiil their mitigation obligations in an area approved by the Service.
Ifyou have any questions, give me (or Eilen Berryman) a buzz. Ili be in the office
Monday and Tuesday of next week.

Re: Biological Opinion on the Cannon Road (Reaches 1 and 2) Permit Application No. 97-
20 1 SO-TCD and 97-30 13 1 -TCD? City of Carisbad, CaIifomia (1-6-97-F-5 1)
Dear Colonel Davis:
This Biological Opinion responds to your request for formal consultation with the U.S. Fish and
RFildlife Service (Service) pursuant to section 7 of the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as
amended (Act). Your request for consultation was dated April 17, 1997 and received by the
Service on .4pril 29. 1997. At issue are the impacts that the proposed U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers (Corps) Cannon Road extension (project) may have on the federaily endangered least
Bell’s vireo (Fireo bellii pusillus), southwestern willow flycatcher (Empidonax naillii extimus),
arroyo southwestern toad (Bufo microscaphus californicus), Pacific pocket mouse (Perognathus
longimembris pacifcusj. and De1 Mar manzani ta (Arctostaphylos glandulosa spp. crassifoliaj
and the federally threatened coastal Cahfomia gnatcatcher (Polioptila caizjornica californica).
Surveys for the Pacific pocket mouse have been completed within Reaches 1 and 2 of the project
area. According to the Pacl#cpocket mouse assessment Cannon Road, Reach 1, Ciry of
Carisbad, California. prepared by Tetra Tech. Inc. and dated September 13, 1996 and the Results
of afield check for Pacific pocket mouse habitat along the proposed ali,onment of Cannon Road
and the mouth of Macario Canyon in the Ciry of Carlsbad, prepared by SJM Biological
Consultants and dated July 29, 1997, suitable habitat is present for this species, however this
species was not detected during surveys. Therefore, the proposed project is not expected to
impact the Pacific pocket mouse. According to Tetra Tech, Inc. (unpublished data), surveys for
the arroyo southwestern toad were conducted in the project area, but none were detected.
.4dditionally, Bill Haas of Varanus Biological Services, Inc. (pers. cornm.), characterized the
habitats in the project site as unsuitable for this species. Impacts and incidental take of the
federally threatened coastal California gnatcatcher are concurrently being addressed by the
Service and City of Carisbad (City) in the context of a special rule pursuant to section 4(d) of the
,
Colonel Robert L. Davis (l-6-97-F-5 1) 2 ..-
Act. Based on the above fmdings. this Biological Opinion will not consider the Pacific pocket
mouse, arroyo southwestern toad, or coastal Cahfornia gnatcatcher further.

(I O/8/97 filc::consulticmonrd\cannrd.bo2
Colonel Robert L. Davis (1-6-97-F-5 1) 3 .
It is the opinion of the Service that the proposed project is not likely to, jeopardize the continued
existence of the least Bell’s vireo, southwestern willow flycatcher, and De1 Mar manzanita.
Critical habitat has been designated for the least BeII’s vireo and for the southwestern wiIlow
flycatcher, however the project site does not occur within designated critical habitat for these
species. Therefore, the proposed project will not adversely modify designated critical habitat,for
these species.
DFSCRIPTION OF THE PROPOSED .4CTION
T’ne proposed action involves the construction of a four-lane major road (Cannon Road) between
Interstate 5 and El Camino Real, as part of the Cannon Road Improvement Project, and consists
of Reaches 1 and 2, located on the south side of Agua Hedionda Lagoon in the City of Carlsbad,
California (Attachment 1). The project extends a total distance of 1.54 miles, spans a width of
102 feet, and encompasses a combined area of approximately 19.08 acres. Within the 102-foot
uide right-of-way, the following project elements will be constructed for each of two directions
of travel: two, I’-foot wide lanes, an 8-foot wide bicycle lane, a j-foot wide sidewalk, a 4.5-foot -~ wide parkway, curbs, gutters, streetlights, signage, striping, and drainage fazlities. The
proposed project also includes an 18-foot wide landscaped median between the two directions of
travel, a bridge spanning over Agua Hedionda Creek, and a bridge spanning over Macario
Canyon and its unnamed creek. The applicant is the City and their consultants (Tetra Tech, Inc.).
Cannon Road Reach 1 extends 3,450 feet in an east-west direction between LEG0 Drive
(formerly Armada Drive) and Macario Canyon, and encompasses a total of 8.1 acres wi+hin its
right-of-way. Included in this Reach is the construction of a bridge spanning over Macario
Canyon and its unnamed creek. The proposed bridge crossing was previously addressed in
Biological Opinion (1-6-92-F-33), dated April 7, 1992. The Biological Opinion discussed the
effects of the Cannon Road Reach 1 project on the endangered least Bell’s vireo. The project
was also addressed in a previous Corps permit (92-20194-EW) which has expired.
The proposed Cannon Road Reach 1 bridge, spanning over Ma&o Canyon and its unnamed
creek would be approximately 450 feet in len-gth with separated bridges for each direction of
travel. Four piers would be placed in existing wetlands for each bridge, and cement abutments
would be placed partially down the slopes immediately below the bridge on either side of
Macario Canyon. According to the Cir)‘s .4pplication to the Corps for Reach 1, dated February
13: 1997, the proposed sewer line and associated dirt access road that was outlined in the Final
Environmental Impact Reportfor Reach 1 of Cannon Road in the Civ of Carlsbad (EIR 87-Z),
dated March 21, 1989 (FEIR) (RECON 1989) is no longer part of the action. No improvements
to the unnamed creek in Macario Canyon are required. According to the letter to the City from
Tetra Tech, Inc. dated August 18, 1997 and the San Diego Gas and Electric Encina East Property
Vegetation and Cannon Road Easement Map, dated May 7, 1997, an additional 0.47 acre of
southern willow scrub and an undetermined acreage of freshwater marsh occurs immediately
adjacent to the Cannon Road, Reach 1 right-of-way, approximately 1,200 feet south of the Reach
1 bridge.
Cannon Road Reach 2 extends 4,700 feet in a northeast-southwest direction between El Camino
Real and the eastern edge of Macario Canyon, parallels the southern slope above Agua Hedionda
(10/g/97) filc:\consult\canonrdkannrd.bo2
Colonel Robert L. Davis (1-6-97-F-5 1) 4
Lagoon, and encompasses a total of 11 acres within its right-of-way. Reach 2 of the project was
subject to a previous Corps permit (No. 8520137~AA) issued to Kelly Ranch, which has since
expired. Grading and placement of surcharge soil was performed under.this permit between
August 27,198.5 and November 14, 1985. Least BelI’s vireo became federally listed as
endangered on May 2, 1986, subsequent to the original grading, and therefore no Biological
Opinion was prepared for effects of the previous action in Reach 2 to this species.
Reaches 1 and 2 were most recently addressed in Corps Public Notice Numbers 97-20130-TCD
and 97-2013 l-TCD respectively, dated .4pril 16, 1997. The Corps is the lead federal agency in
coordinating the preparation of environmental documents associated with the above referenced
action. The proposed action is more completely described within the Final Environmental
Impact Report for Reach 1 of Cannon Road in the City of Carlsbad (RECON 1989).
The proposed action in Reach 2 consists of excavating approximately one to two feet of fill
material (26,500 cubic yards) from the top of the previously graded surcharge area, constructing
a four-lane major road, and constructing a bridge, spanning over Agua Hedionda Creek and
immediately east of El Camino Real. The Reach 2 bridge, spanning over Agua Kedionda Creek
would be 100 feet wide, and consist of a 130-foot long, cast-in-place concrete slab, two bridge
abutments, and two piers. Construction of the bridge abutments in and adjacent to wetlands and
waters of the U.S. would result in consolidation of alluvial soils in the immediate vicinity of each
abutment. Consolidation would result in “squeezing out” excess water from the soil. The excess
water would be brought to the surface by use of prefabricated, vertical drains that have a plastic
or gravel internal layer wrapped in filter fabric. Vertical drains would be connected to horizontal
drains that would transport the excess water to a drain around the perimeter of the embankment
and directed to a desilting basin. This is not expected to cause a’draw down of the alluvial
aquifer. The water going to the desilting basin should have a very low sediment content since the
vertical drains will be &rapped with filter fabric. Peak flows from the perimeter drain will be at a
ma..imum of 0.1 gallons per minute per lineal foot of embankment perimeter. No temporary
impacts will occur outside of the 102-foot wide right-of-way.
For the purpose of the Service’s analysis and Biological Opinion, the action area is considered to
encompass the riparian, freshwater marsh. saltwater marsh, brackish marsh, and open water
habitats occurring in the Agua Hedionda Creek floodplain immediately to the north and
paralleling the 1.54 mile length of Reaches 1 and 2 (approximately 186 acres), the eastern
portion of the “inner” lagoon area of Agua Hedionda Lagoon (approximately 40 acres), and the
riparian habitat extending 3,500 feet upstream of the Reach 1 bridge, spanning Macario Canyon
and its unnamed creek (approximately 28 acres), and all coastal sage scrub and maritime
chaparral within the project boundary. The project contains mitigation measures that will be
implemented as part of the proposed action. These measures are described in the following
documents: FEIR (EIR ST-J), dated March 21, 1989; ‘Revised Macario Canyon Bridge
Revegetation Plan, dated August 8, 1989; Maintenance and Monitoring Program for the Cannon
Road Reach 1 Mitigation Plan, dated June 1990; Macario Canyon Bridge least Bell’s Vireo
Summaq (undated); a December 1 2, 1991 summary letter regarding Cannon Road Reach I -
Section 7 IVegoriation, the Conceptual Wetlands Mitigation Plan for Reaches 1 and 2 of the
Cannon Road Extension Project, dated January 1997, Appendix A in the Corps 404 permit
application for Cannon Road Reach 1. dated February 13,1997; and Appendix A in the Corps

Colonel Robert L. Davis (l-6-97-F-5 1) 5
101 permit application for Cannon Road Reach 2, dated February 13, 1997. Mitigation
measures were also discussed and agreed upon during the June 24,1997 and July 8,1997
meetings between the Service and the City and Corps. A summary of these measures are Iisted
below, and will be implemented as part of the proposed action in order to avoid or otherwise
minimize potential adverse effects of the action on listed species:
-
-.
1. Impacts to 3.3 1 acres of wetlands, represented by 2.48 acres of southern willow riparian and
0.10 acre of brackish marsh wetland (total of 2.58 acres) associated with Reach 1 and 0.59
acres of southern willow riparian and 0.14 acre of open water (total of 0.73 acre) associated
with Reach 2, will be mitigated at a 1: 1 ratio offsite. The offsite wetland mitigation will
consist of excavating existing agricultural lands adjacent to existing wetlands within Macario
Canyon, upstream of the Macario Canyon bridge site, for the purpose of restoring wetland
hydrology and creating riparian habitat (Attachment 2). Success criteria is intended to be met
within one year of initiating creation, and includes structural, composition, and density of
plant species, as described in the Conceptual Wetlands Mitigation Plan for Reaches I and 2
of the Cannon Road Extension Project, dated January 1997 and other documents and
- meetings referenced above.
2. The riparian mitigation site will be maintained and monitored for a five year period to
commence at the end of the initial planting effort. Maintenance and monitoring of the
restoration site would be performed four times during the fust year, two times during the
second year, and once per year for three subsequent years. A detailed description is provided
in the Conceptual Wetlands Mitigation Plan for Reaches 1 and 2 of the Cannon Road
Extension Project, dated January 1997.
3. The riparian mitigation site will receive irrigation for at least one year. -4s agreed upon by
the City and the Service during the July 8, 1997 meeting, after one year, the need to continue
irrigation will be evaluated based on the overall survival and vigor of the planted material.
This measure is discussed within the ConcepruaI Wetlands Mitigation Plan for Reaches I
and 2 of the Cannon Road Extension Project, dated January 1997.
4. The riparian mitigation site will include a 100 foot wide band of upland habitat buffering the
riparian and wetland habitats in perpetuity. During the June 24,1997 meeting between
representatives from the Service and the City, the City agreed to limit active park uses inside
the upland buffer.
5. Temporary impacts to riparian and brackish marsh vegetation resulting from construction of
haul roads, stockpile and staging areas, work areas extending 150 feet from the outside edge
of the Reach 1, Macario Canyon bridge. and construction and fill activities adjacent to
riparian vegetation and wetlands located 1.200 feet southwest of the Reach 1 bridge will be
mitigated by revegetating and restoring the impact area to the original condition before
disturbance. Revegetation will include remedial work such as decompaction and surface
treatment of the ground and restoration of natural contours. The revegetation area would be
monitored for a period of three years. This measure is further discussed on pages 28-30A of
the Final Environmental Impact Report for Reach 1 of Cannon Road in the City of Carlsbad
(EIR 87-2), dated March 21, 1989.
(I 018197) filc:~.consult\canonrd\cannrd.bo7
Colonel dobert L. Davis (1-6-97-F-5 1)
6. Impacts to occupied least Bell’s vireo habitat north of and parallel to Reach 2 would be
reduced by the application of a “tire-noise reducing” close-grade asphalt during the
consuuction and maintenance of the road surface. This mitigation measure was mutually
agreed to by the City and the Service at the July 8, 1997 meeting on the project.
-.
7. Indirect impacts to least Bell’s vireo and southwestern willow flycatcher from vehicle noise
and light levels along 2,000 feet of Cannon Road adjacent to Agua Hedionda Creek will be
compensated for by contributing $150,000 (12.4% of a total % 1.2 million endowment)
referenced in the Property Analysis Record (P.A.R.) (Attachment 3) and prepared by the
Center for Natural Lands Management. The City would also fund any ‘outstanding start-up
costs described in the P.A.R. that have not been funded by the time of commencement of the
construction of the proposed Cannon Road, Reaches 1 and 2. The P.A.R. determined the
type and cost of wildlife management practices (including brown-headed cowbird trapping,
non-native plant control, human and equestrian access restrictions and trash cleanup) in
perpetuity in 186 acres riparian habitat located in the Agua Hedionda Creek floodplain, on
- the Kelly Ranch property, and immediately adjacent to the project. This 18&acre site was
part of a mitigation package approved under the original Corps permit and has a 22-year
irrevocable offer to the Department in fee title. This compensation measure is further
discussed in the letter from the Center for Natural Lands Management to the City, dated
August 4,1997 and the letter from the City, dated September 11,1997.
8. Impacts to least Bell’s vireo habitat. resulting from night-time street light levels will be
reduced by placing shields on light fixtures and directing them away from riparian habitat to
prevent illumination or “spillover” onto riparian habitat. This compensation measure was
mutually agreed to by the City and the Service in a June 24, 1997 meeting on the project.
9. In an effort to reduce vehicle noise in adjacent riparian habitat in Macario Canyon and its
unnamed creek, a solid three foot high sound barrier would be constructed on the north side
of the bridge and a solid four foot high sound barrier would be constructed on the south side
of the bridge. This mitigation measure was proposed by the City during consultation with the
Service for the original Cannon Road Reach 1 project? and was described in measure number
3 in the section titled “Project Description” on page 3 of the previous Biological Opinion (l-
6-92-F034), dated April 7, 1992.
10. Impacts to least Bell’s vireo and southwestern willow flycatcher occupied riparian habitat in
Macario Canyon resulting from edge effects would be mitigated by enhancing riparian
habitat through the removal of pampas grass within 28 acres of wetlands in Macario Canyon.
The first removal effort would be initiated within 12 months after the commencement of the
project referenced above. All pampas grass shall be removed within Macario Canyon within
24 months after commencement of the project, and continue for a period of five years., This
measure is in addition to the measure associated with the P.A.R., and is tier discussed in
the Conceptual Wetlands Mitigation Plan for Reaches I and 2 of the Cannon Road Extension
Project. dated January 1997. This time frame for pampas grass removal was mutually agreed
to by the City and the Service in a June 24, 1997 meeting on the project.

Impacts to least Bell’s vireo and southwestern willow flycatcher occupied riparian habitat in
Macario Canyon resulting kom edge effects would be mitigated by conducting brown-
headed cowbird trapping program. The program will result in the placement of five brown-
headed cowbird traps within and adjacent to the riparian vegetation. Trapping will take place
during the least Bell’s vireo breeding season (March 15 through September 15). The first
trapping effort would begin during the first breeding season after the commencement of the
project referenced above, and continue for a period of five years. This measure is in addition
to the measure associated with the P.A.R., and is further discussed in the Conceptual
Wetlands Mitigation Plan for Reaches 1 and 2 of the Cannon Road Extension Project, dated
January 1997.
Indirect impacts to Agua Hedionda Lagoon and its adjacent wetlands will be reduced by
implementing a sediment and erosion control program. These measures are further discussed
in the FEIR (EIR 87-Z), dated March 21, 1989.
Indirect impacts to riparian and wetland habitat would be reduced by fencing the right-of-way
with a drift fence to prevent erosion and sedimentation. This measure is fu&er discussed in
the FEIR (EIR 87-I), dated March 21,1989 and Appendix A in the Corps 104permit
application for Cannon Road Reach 2, dated February 13, 1997.
Construction will only occur from September 15 through March 15, if the least Bell’s vireo
occupies riparian habitats within the project area. This mitigation measure was proposed by
the City during the June 24, 1997 meeting between the Service and the City and during _
consultation with the Service for the original Cannon Road Reach 1 project, and was
described in measure number 3 in the section titled “Project Description” on page 3 of the
previous Biological Opinion (1-6-92-F-54), dated April 7, 1992.
Impacts to 2.1 acres of southern maritime chaparral and indirect impacts to De1 Mar
manzanita will be mitigated through off-site preservation of 6.2 acres of southern maritime
chaparral supporting De1 Mar manzanita. The acquisition of this mitigation land will be
finalized within 6 months of the date of this Biological Opinion. This mitigation measure
was agreed to in a July 23,1997 telephone conversation between Ellen Berryman of the
Service and Betty Dehoney, the City’s consultant. Ms. Dehoney indicated that the City
agreed to this mitigation measure, and the Service concurred in a letter to the City, dated July
23, 1997.
Indirect impacts to De1 Mar manzani ta will be reduced by placing temporary fencing,
barriers, and signage at the construction boundary in the vicinity of this species’ occurrence,
to remain during construction activities. This mitigation measure was agreed to in a July 23,
1997 telephone conversation between Ellen Berryman of the Service and Betty Dehoney, the
Civ’s consultant, and further described in the letter from the City, dated August 12, 1997

W--ECTS OF THE PROPOSED ACT-ION ON THE J.JS-ED SPECIES
Species Account
J.east Bell’s Vireo
The least Bell’s vireo is a small, olive-gay, migratory songbird that nests and forages almost
exclusively in riparian woodland habitats (Garrett and Dunn 1981, Gray and Greaves 1981, -
1Miner 1989). All subspecies of Bell’s vireo (Vireo belliz?, including the least Bell’s vireo, are
almost exclusively insectivorous (Chapin 1925) and highly territorial (Barlow 1962, Fitch 1958,
Salata 1983a). -
-.
-
Historically, the least Bell’s vireo ranged from Red Bluff, California in the north, to northwestern
Baja California, Mexico in the south. The least BelI’s vireo was also known to occur as far east
as the Owens Valley, Death Valley, and along the Mojave River. It was described as common to
abundant in appropriate riparian habitats (Grinnell and Miller 1944, Grinnell and Storer 1924,
Willett 1933). Currently, the species occupies a very small fraction of its former range
(Goldwasser et al. 1980, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service 1986). In 1986, surveys indicated that
there were approximately 397 territorial male least Bell’s vireos in the United States. Since that
time, legal protection and active management have resulted in an increase in the population.
Surveys conducted in 1994 indicated that there were approximately 927 territorial male least
Bell’s vireos in the United States. In 1994, approximately 70 percent of least Bell’s vireos were
concentrated in just five localities. In 1996, the population of this species was estimated at
approximately 1,500 breeding pairs.
Least Bell’s vireos generally begin to establish breeding territories by mid- to late-March
(Garrett and Dunn, 1981, Salata 1983a, Salata 1983b, Hays 1989, Pike and Hays, 1992). Most
breeding least Bell’s vireos depart their breeding grounds by the third week of September, and
only a ve? few are found wintering in the United States (Garrett and Dunn 1981, Pike and Hays
1992, Salata 1983a, Salata 1983b). Territory sizes of nesting vireos range in size from one to
four acres (Gray and Greaves 198 1).
Although the least BelI’s vireo occupies home ranges that typically range in size from 0.5 to 4.5
acres, a few may be as large as 10 acres. In some areas, least Bell’s vireos will also use adjacent
upland habitats for foraging (Salata 1983a).
Least Bell’s vireo nesting habitat typically consists of well-developed overstories, understories,
and low densities of aquatic and herbaceous cover (Hays 1986, Hays 1989, Salata 1983a, Zembal
1984, Zembal et al. 1985). The understory frequently contains dense subshrub or shrub thickets.
These thickets are often dominated by sandbar willow, mule fat, young individuals of other
willow species such as arroyo willow or black willow, and one or more herbaceous species
( I O/8/97) filc:!consult\canonrd\cannrd.bo2
Colonel Robert L. Davis (1-6-97-F-5 1) 9
(Salata 1983, Salata 1983b, Zembal 1984, Zembal er al. 1985). Significant overstory species
include mature arroyo willow and black willow. Occasional cottonwood (Populus sp.) and
western sycamore (Platanus racemosa) occur in some areas used by the least Bell’s vireo. Coast
live oak (Quercus agrifolia) may also make locally important contributions to the overstory.
As much as 90 percent of the original extent of riparian woodland in California has been
eliminated, and most of the remaining 10 percent is in a degraded condition (Dahl 1990). It
appears that least Bell’s vireos nesting in areas containing a high proportion of degraded habitat
have lower productivity (e.g., hatching success) than those in areas of high quality riparian
woodland (Pike and Hays 1992). Additionally, widespread habitat losses have fra_mnented most
remaining populations into small, disjunct, widely dispersed subpopulations (Franzreb 1989).
Habitat fragmentation negatively affects abundance and disuibution of neotropical migratory
songbirds, in part by increasing incidence of nest predation and parasitism (Small and Hunter
1988).
- Least Bell’s vireos are sensitive to many forms of human disturbance including noise, night
lighting, and consistent human presence in an area. Excessive noise is believed 6 be capable of
causing least Bell’s vireos to abandon an area and/or decrease their reproductive success.
Greeves (1989) hypothesized that the lack of breeding least BelI’s vireos in apparently suitable
habitat was due to human disturbances (e .g., bulldozers, off-highway vehicles, and hiker naveI).
He further suggested that buffer zones between natural areas and surrounding degraded and
disturbed areas could be used to increase the suitability of some riparian habitat for this species.
Because of the decline of least Bell’s vireos (U.S Fish and Wildlife Service 1986), attributable in
part to the combined, perhaps synergistic, effects of the widespread destruction of riparian
habitats and brood-parasitism by the brown-headed cowbird (Garrett and Dunn 1981), the least
Bell’s vireo was listed as endangered on May 2, 1986 (Federal Regisrer 5 1: 16474). Critical
habitat for the least Bell’s vireo was designated by the Service on March 4, 1994.
Least Bell’s vireo have been regularly detected occupying riparian and adjacent upland habitats
in Macario Canyon within and immediately adjacent to the proposed Reach 1 bridge right-of-
way during the past decade. For example, biological surveys of Macario Canyon in 1990, 1992,
and 199; resulted in detecting this species at the mouth of the canyon (RECON 1990; P&D
Environmental Services 1992 and 1993). More recently, surveys conducted on May 19 and 29,
1995 resulted in detecting four least Bell’s vireo in Macario Canyon, with one nesting pair and
juvenile located near the mouth of the Canyon (the approximate location of the Reach 1 bridge
right-of-way) and one male in riparian habitat east of the right-of-way (Tetra Tech, Inc. 1995).
Between April 12 and June 21,1996, one pair of least Bell’s vireo was detected in riparian
habitat approximately one-hundred feet east of the Reach 1 right-of-way, and one singing male
within the Reach 1 right-of-way (Tetra Tech, Inc. 1996b) (Attachment 4). The most recent
surveys of Reach 1 were conducted between May and July 1997, and resulted in detecting one
least Bell’s vireo within the right-of-way in Macario Canyon (Tetra Tech, Inc. unpublished data).
On July 9, 1997, Jeff Manning of the Service detected an adult male and one juvenile least Bell’s
vireo in Macario Canyon within the project right-of-way.

-.
During the 1995 surveys of Reach 1, individual vireos were also observed foraging in adjacent
upland habitats (Tetra Tech, Inc. 1995). This is consistent with the findings of Kus and Minor
(1988), which suggests the value of these upland areas for least Bell’s vireo. RECON (1990)
elaborated on this topic by suggesting that upland areas adjacent to narrow riparian habitats be
considered as part of a least Bell’s vireo territory or biological buffer situated between riparian
habitat and a planning buffer (RECON 1990).
Biological surveys of the Reach 2 right-of-way and adjacent riparian habitat were conducted by
three separate entities. Surveys conducted on June 24 and July 4, 1997 by Varanus Biological
Services, Inc., (unpublished data) resulted in locating a population of at least 12- 15 breeding
pairs of least Bell’s vireo within the riparian habitat of the Agua Hedionda Creek floodplain
(Attachment 5). This survey detected a least Bell’s vireo within 700 feet downstream of the El
Camino Real bridge. Terra Tech, Inc. (unpublished data) reported three territorial least Bell’s
vireo approximately 0.25 and 0.35 mile downstream of the EI Camino Real bridge, and one as
close as 500 feet. These individual least BelI’s vireos within 0.; mile downstream of the bridge
were detected during previous surveys conducted in 1996 (Brian Amold of Tetra Tech, Inc., pers.
comm.). On July 16, 1997, Jeff Manning of the Service and Tim Dillingham ofae Department
detected an adult male least Bell’s vireo adjacent to the project right-of-way within 200 feet
downstream of the El Camino Real bridge. This sighting is believed to represent a least Bell’s
vireo territory in addition to those detected in the former surveys. The combined survey results
referenced above identify a total of 12 to 16 least Bell’s vireo territories in .4gua Hedionda
Creek. Thirteen of these breeding pairs are located within 500 feet from the Reach 2 right-of-
way, three territories extend into the uplands within the project right-of-way, and at least one nest
was detected less than 100 feet from the northern edge of the Reach 2 right-of-way.
Southwestern Wiilow Flycatcher
The southwestern willow flycatcher is one of four subspecies of the willow flycatcher
(Empidonax r raillii) recognized in North America (Hubbard 1987, Unitt 1987, Browning 1993).
The southwestern willow flycatcher is a relativeiy small, insectivorous neotropical migrant bird
with a whitish throat, grayish-green back, a light olive breast, and a pale yellowish belly.
The breeding range of the southwestern willow ff ycatcher includes southern California, Arizona,
New Mexico, southern portions of Nevada and Utah, western Texas, southwestern Colorado, and
extreme northwestern Mexico (Hubbard 1987, Unitt 1987, Browning 1993). Southwestern
willow flycatchers winter in Mexico, Central America, and northern South &nerica (Phillips
1948, AOU 1983).
Southwestern willow flycatchers are late spring breeders, typically raising one brood per year.
They are generally present and singing on breeding territories by mid-May and fledge young in
early July (Willen 1912, Ligon 1961, Brown 1988, Whitfield 1990). Southwestern willow
flycatchers are generally gone from breeding grounds in southern California by late August and
are exceedingly scarce in the United States after mid-October (Garrett and Dunn 1981).
The southwestern willow flycatcher occurs in riparian habitats along rivers, streams, and other
wetland habitats where dense growths of willows, Baccharis sp., arrowweed (Pluchea sp.),
(I 018197) fiie:‘.consult\c~onrd\cannrd.bo?
Colonel Robert L. Davis (l-6-97-F-5 1) 11
buttonbush (Cephafanthus sp.), or other plants of similar structure and form are present (Grinnell
and Miller 1944, Phillips 1948, Hubbard 1987, Unit-t 1987, Brown and Trosset 1989, Whitfield
1990, Brown 1991). Overstories in occupied habitats are often composed of willows or
cottonwoods (vnitt 1987, Whirfield 1990, Brown 1991).
The present existence of smaI1 population segments of southwestern willow flycatchers make the
species increasingly susceptible to local extirpation through stochastic events such as flood, fie,
brood parasitism, predation, and land development. Habitat fragmentation can negatively affect
the abundance and distribution of southwestern willow flycatchers by increasing incidences of
nest predation and parasitism (Small and Hunter 1988). Whitfield (1990) found that predation on
willow flycatcher nests increased with decreasing distance from nests to thicker edges,
suggesting that habitat fragmentation may increase the threat of predation. McCabe (199 1)
reported that brown-headed cowbirds lay their eggs in songbird nests closest to the edge of the
habitat.
- Southwestern willow flycatcher habitat can be degraded and direct disturbances-can result from
human activity within or adjacent to riparian areas (Taylor 1986). Blakesley and Reese (1988)
found a negative correlation between human activity in riparian corridors and flycatcher
abundance. Human activities that can adversely affect flycatchers include excessive noise, night
lighting, and consistent human presence in an area.
Throughout the known range of the southwestern willow flycatcher, occupied riparian habitats
tend to be widely separated. The southwestern willow flycatcher has suffered extensive losses
from habitat destruction or modification due to grazing, flood control projects, and other water or
land development projects [see, in particular Dahl(l990), Klebenow and Oakleaf (1984), and
Taylor and Littlefield (1986)]. The species is additionally affected by a variety of other factors,
including brood parasitism by brown-headed cowbirds (vnitt 1987, Ehrlich er al. 1992).
Parasitism rates of southwestern willow flycatcher nests have recently ranged from 50 to 80 ’
percent in California (Whitfield 1990, ici. Whitfield and S. Laymon, unpublished data) and to
100 percent in the Grand Canyon in 1992. Mayfield (1977) thought that a species (or
population) could probably survive up to a 24 percent nest parasitism rate.
Unitt (I 987) reviewed historical and contemporary records of the southwestern willow
flycatcher throughout its range and determined that the species had declined precipitously during
the last 50 years. He argued convincingly that the southwestern willow flycatcher is faring
poorly throughout much of its breeding range, and postulated that the “known southwestern
willow flycatcher population in the California range of exfimus consists of 87 pairs” and that the
“total population of the subspecies is well under 1,000 pairs; . . . 500 is more likely.” A composite
of more current information indicates continuing population declines, poor reproductive
performance, and continued threats to most remaining populations (e.g., Brown 1991, Whitfield
and Laymon, in lit. 1993).
Southwestern willow flycatchers were once considered widely distributed and common in
California. occurring wherever suitable habitat existed in the Los Angeles Basin, San
Bernardino, Riverside and San Diego Counties. and the lower Colorado River basin (Grinnell
and Miller 1944, Unitt 1987, Willet 1913, 1933). Currently in California, southwestern willow
(1 O/8/97) fiie:\consult\curonrd\cannrd.bo2
Colonel Robert L. Davis (l-6-97-F-5 1) 12 t-
flycatchers exist only in small disjunct groups and have been extirpated from the lower Colorado
River (Hunter ef al. 1987, Unitt 1987, Rosenberg et al. 1991). Due to the decline,’ the
southwestern willow flycatcher was listed as endangered on February 27, 1995 (Federal Register
60: 10694). In addition, critical habitat was proposed for this species on February 27, 1995
(Federal Register 60: 10694) and designated on July 22, 1997 (Federal Regisrer 62: 140).
-.
During the least Bell’s vireo surveys of the riparian habitat in and adjacent to the Reach 1 right-
of-way in Macario Canyon conducted on June 7,1996, two individual southwestern willow
flycatchers were observed approximately 200 feet upstream from the right-of-way (Tetra Tech,
Inc. 1996b). Comprehensive surveys were not completed in 1996 to determine their nesting
status, however they were suspected to be transitory (Ten-a Tech, Inc. 1996b). Two individual
southwestern willow flycatchers were observed during surveys conducted by Karen Miner on
May 3 1, 1997 and June 6, 1997, however these birds were not observed during subsequent
surveys conducted on June 27 and July 11,1997 (Tetra Tech, Inc., unpublished data). No
southwestern willow flycatchers were detected during non-intensive, spot surveys conducted in
the riparian habitats of the Agua Hedionda floodplain during June 24,1997 and July 4, 1997
biological surveys conducted by Varanus Biological Services, Inc.). Bill Haas oTVaranus
Biological Services, Inc. reported that riparian habitat in the vicinity of Agua Hedionda Creek is
suitable for southwestern willow flycatcher, and is possibly important as a migratory stopover
location (Varanus Biological Services, Inc., unpublished data). To date, the nearest breeding
southwestern willow flycatchers are located along the Santa Margarita River on Camp Pendleton,
and possibly along the San Luis Rey River, near Interstate 5 (Varanus Biological Services, Inc..
unpublished data).
De1 Mar Manzan&
De1 Mar manzanita is a shrub species in the Ericaceae family and is endemic to the coastal region
of southern San Diego County, California and northern Baja California, Mexico. It is a
component of southern maritime chaparral. Roberts (199;) estimates that 88 percent of the
remaining 2,500 acres of southern maritime chaparral in San Diego County provides habitat for
De1 Mar manzanita.
De1 Mar manzanita is restricted to sandstone terraces and bluffs from the City of Carlsbad south
to Torrey Pines State Park, extending inland on De1 Mar Mesa and into the community of
Ranch0 Santa Fe, San Diego County, California. The majority df the populations occur within
four miles of the coast. The population of De1 Mar manzanita in San Diego County has declined
by approximately 50 percent since 1982; approximately 7,500 to 8,700 individuals remain within
25 populations in San Diego County (Roberts 199;). De1 Mar manzanita was federally listed as
endangered on October 7,1996 (61 FR: 52370) due to substantial habitat reduction and
fragmentation of southern maritime chaparral habitat, declining numbers of individuals, and the
inadequacy of existing regulatory mechanisms to adequately provide for the conservation of the
species. Critical habitat has not been designated for this species, and a recovery plan has not been
adopted. .4 detailed account of the status. distribution, taxonomy, ecology, and reproductive
characteristics of De1 Mar manzanita is presented in the final rule which is hereby incorporated
by reference.

AN.41 IS OF IMPACTS
Direct Impacts
One least Bell’s vireo breeding territory lies within the project right-of-way in Reach 1, Macario
Canyon. Construction activities for the Reach 1 bridge, spanning over Macario Canyon and its
unnamed creek, including grading and filling, will result in the direct, permanent loss of 1 .O acre
of riparian habitat. An additional 0.9 acre of riparian habitat will be permanently Iost based on
the RECON (1989) analysis that determined that no vegetation is expected to gr5w beneath the
bridge structure. The total direct, permanent impacts within Reach 1 are the loss of 1.9 acres of
vireo habitat (1.8 acres of southern willow riparian and 0.1 acres of brackish marsh) and the harm
of one breeding pair of least Bell’s vireo occupying ripatian habitat within the footprint of the
bridge (Attachment 4; Table 1).

The estimated, temporary construction impact area for the Reach 1 bridge, spanning over
Macario Canyon and its unnamed creek is 150 feet to either side of the bridge (RECON 1989).
This construction area would result in a direct, temporary impact to one breeding pair of least
Bell’s vireo through the temporary desuuction of 3.1 acres of southwestern wiIlow riparian
(Table 1). The destruction of riparian vegetation would harm the breeding pair of least Bell’s
vireo through the temporarily removal foraging, roosting, and nesting habitats from the territory.
The construction of Reach 1 will also result in the direct loss of 3.1 acres of southern maritime
chaparral and is expected to impact two individual De1 Mar manzanita plants. Due to the close
proxirniy of the m&ta to the proposed direct impact area, this species may be inadvertently
impacted during grading and other construction related activities.

Attachment 5 shows the location of three least Bell’s vireo breeding territories within the A_gua
Hediondo Creek floodplain that encompass portions of upland habitat within the Reach 2 right-
of-way (Varanus Biological Services, Inc., unpubiished data). All of these territories were
considered to be breeding territories by Varanus Biological Services, Inc. (unpub&shed data).
Three of these territories extend into upiand habitats (mulefat scrub and coastal sage scrub)
within the Reach 2 right-of-way. Consuuction of Reach 2 includes the removal of up to two feet
of upland soil, placement of cement and asphalt, and placement of electrical and drainage
faciiities within the 102-foot-wide right-of-way graded in I989 under the or@nal Corps permit.
These construction activities will occur in Reach 2 from El Camino Real along a 2,000-foot
distance ‘in a westerly direction, paralleling the adjacent riparian habitats of Agua Hedionda
Creek. Tnese activities will result in the harm of three pairs of least Bell’s vireos occupying
territories comprised of riparian. wetland. and upland vegetation adjacent to the Reach 2 right-of-
way and upland habitat patches’within the Reach 2 right-of-way (Attachment 5; Table 2). The
destruction of these habitats documented by the Service to be utilized by the least Beil’s vireo
Lvould result in the permanent removal of vegetation that may be essential as foraging, roosting,
and nesring habitat in each of these three least Bell’s vireo tenirories.

traffk noise levels of 70 dBA Leq.
3 Includes three breeding pairs that would experience permanent, direct impacts resulting kom Reach 2.
Reach 2 also includes the construction of a bridge spanning over Agua Hedionda Creek. These
construction activities would result in the direc& permanent destruction of 0.59 acre of
southwestern willow riparian and 0.14 acre of open water (Table 2). The construction of this
bridge is not expected to result in direct impacts to least Bell’s vireo and southwestern willow
flycatchers. No permanent or temporary impacts to riparian, wetland, and least Bell’s vireo
territories are expected to occur outside of the 100 foot wide footprint of the Reach 2 bridge
extending over ,4gua Hedionda Creek. To minimize effects of the Cannon Road Reaches 1 and 2
project on least Bell’s vireo and southwestern willow flycatcher, the City proposes to perform
construction activities outside of the nesting season of these two species if they occupy riparian
habitat along .4gua Hedionda Creek and in Macario Canyon.
Indirect Impacts
Based on the California Department of Transportation’s (Caltrans) table titled “Reducrion ofA-
scale sound level at various distances from a vehicular “line source, ” relative to SO fr distance,
using the drop-of/rate of;. 0 dBA per double distance” (Caltrans sound level reduction scale)
(.4ttachrnent 6) and an estimated minimum vehicular noise level of 70 dBA for this project
(based on expected traffic type and volumes described in the FEIR 1989), it is estimated the
vehicular noise levels would exceed 60 dB.4 Leq up to a distance of 500 feet out from the project
right-of-way. Noise above 60 dBA Leq is beiieved to be capable of disrupting normal behavior
of this species. Noise from vehicles may interfere with courtship behavior or cause temporary or
permanent abandonment of the nesting territory. Excessive noise can mask the song of a male
rireo, thereby inhibiting his chance of attracting a mate. A response of a male least Bell’s vireo
in attempting to establish territory or a pair of vireos trying to maintain a territory while exposed
to excessive noise for a prolonged period can be the abandonment of a nesting territory.
Excessive noise can also mask the presence of predators of the least Bell’s vireo.
The proposed Reach 1 bridge, spanning over Macario Canyon and its unnamed creek will result
in an indirect impact to one breeding pair of least Bell’s vireo occupying riparian within 7.2 acres
of riparian willow habitat through edge effects including harassment associated with car and
truck traffic noise and increased human access (Table 1). ru’oise impacts to southwestern willow
flycatchers is currently less studied than that of the least Bell’s vireo. To the extent that
operations near occupied southwestern willow flycatcher habitat would occur in the breeding
season. it is possible that flycatchers would be adversely affected by car and truck traffic noise.
Car and truck traffic noise levels associated with the Reach 1 bridge will result in an indirect
impact to three individual, non-breeding southwestern willow flycatchers located approximately
200 feet upstream of the bridge within the 7.2 acres of riparian habitat referenced above. These
impacts to these species are expected to occur for the life of the project.
Reach 2 will indirectly impact 14 breeding pairs of least Bell’s vireo occupying 23 acres of
southern willow riparian habitat through harassment associated with car and truck trtic noise
(10/8/97)fiic:'.consult\cmonrd\cannrd.bo2
Colonel Robert L. Davis (1-6-97-F-5 1) 16
and increased human access (Table 2). These impacts are based on the Caltrms sound level
reduction scale (Attachment 6) and these territories being located less than 500 feet from the
Reach 2 right-of-way (Attachment 5). Focused surveys for southwestern willow flycatcher were
not performed within the 23 acres of riparian habitat that will experience increased noise levels
from car and truck traf?ic. Therefore. impacts to this species in Reach 2 cannot be adequately
determined. Impacts to this species from car and truck traffic noise are projected to be similar to
that of the least Bell’s vireo.
-
-.
The City has incorporated several project features to reduce car and truck noise levels exceeding
60 dBA Leq within adjacent riparian habitat. The City proposes to construct a three foot high
sound barrier on the north side and a four foot high sound barrier on the south side of the Reach 1
bridge, spanning over Ma&o Canyon and its unnamed creek. Both barriers will extend beyond
the ends of the bridge. Given that the majority of the Reach 2 right-of-way al@tnent abuts
riparian vegetation, it was determined that the construction of a sound wall would not be a
practicable alternative in reducing ambient noise levels to 60 dBA Leq. The road surface on both
Reaches would be constructed with close-grade asphalt to aid in reducing vehicular tire noise.
The Service estimates that these project features may aid in reducing car and truck%afYic noise
levels to 70 dBA Leq.
In addition to noise, it is anticipated that there may be potential impacts to least Bell’s vireo
breeding territories associated with street and vehicular lighting. These impacts would occur at
the Reach 1 bridge, spanning over Macario Canyon and its unnamed creek the Reach 2 bridge
extending over A_gua Hedionda creek, and along the 2,000-foot distance of Reach 2 paralleling
Agua Hedionda Creek. Increased background levels of luminescence from street lights and
vehicle lights at least Bell’s vireo nest locations may lead to increased predation of eggs or vireo
young by predators. The project applicant proposes to place shields on light fixtures and direct
them away from riparian habitat to prevent lighting spillover onto least Bell’s vireo habitat. This
is anticipated to avoid lighting spillover impacts associated with street lighting.
The construction of Reach 1 is expected to indirectly impact the remaining approximately 3 acres
of maritime chaparral and two individual De1 Mar manzanita plants through edge effects
including increased human access, alteration of natural run-off, and alteration of drainage
patterns where this plant species occurs. In addition, due to the close proximity of the manzanita
to the proposed direct impact area, this species may be inadvertently impacted during grading
and other construction related activities.
The Service beheves the impacts described above would not jeopardize the continued existence
of the least Bell’s vireo, southwestern willow flycatcher, or the De1 Mar manzanita We present
this conclusion because the project sponsor has incorporated significant compensation measures
including: 1) replacement through revegetation of any riparian and wetland habitat permanently
destroyed by project construction activities at a 1: 1 area ratio prior to construction, 2)
replacement through revegetation of any riparian and wetland habitat temporarily destroyed by
project construction activities at a 1: 1 ratio within the temporary impact area, 3) the
implementation of a cowbird trapping pro-gram, 4) the initiation of a pampas grass removal
program 5) the contribution of $150,000 (12.4% of the total endowment cost) and any
outstanding start-up costs into a non-wasting, interest bearing account for the purpose of funding

wildlife habitat management practices in perpetuity within the 186-acre riparian habitat area 6)
use of noise barriers on Reach 1 bridge, spanning over Macario Canyon and its unnamed creek to
reduce vehicle noise, 7) use of shields on street lights to minimize the “spillover” of light on
adjacent riparian habitats, and 8) construction outside of the least Bell’s vireo and southwestern
willow flycatcher breeding seasons.
Cumulative Fffects
Cumulative effects are those impacts of future, non-Federal (State, local government and private)
activities affecting endangered and threatened species or critical habitat that are reasonably
certain to occur during the course of the Federal activity subject to consultation. Future Federal .
actions will be subject to the consultation requirements established in section 7 of the Act and.
therefore, are not considered cumulative to the proposed action.
Actions that are reasonably certain to occur which will adversely affect the least Bell’s vireo and
southwestern willow flycatcher include development of privately owned lands agacent to
Gparian corridors that contain either existing or the potential for future quality least Bell’s vireo
or southwestern willow flycatcher habitat. Lights, noise, domestic pets, increased disrurbances,
probably an increase in cowbird numbers, and loss of adjacent upland buffer and foraging habitat
will occur throughout the range of the least Bell’s vireo. The increase of cowbirds throughout
coastal Southern California apparently has been the result of the proliferation of suitable cowbird
feeding areas, including golf courses, parks, and stables. The Service believes that habitat
destruction, cowbird parasitism, and indirect impacts currently limit the distribution and potential
expansion of least Bell’s vireos and southwestern willow flycatchers.
.Additionally: given the number of unauthorized discharges of fill material and unregulated
clearing of riparian vegetation that occur within the range of the vireo, it is reasonable to assume
that these activities will continue to result in the destruction of suitable and potential least Bell’s
xireo and southwestern willow flycatcher habitat. For example. the Service is aware of one
unauthorized activity in Agua Hedionda Creek overlapping the Reach 2 bridge right-of-way that
resulted in the grading and removal of approximately 0.5 acre of riparian vegetation. It has
recently been reported to the Service that riparian vegetation in Macariq Canyon was pruned
adjacent to agricultural fields in 1997. The Service is also aware of hand clearing of mature
willow trees and other riparian vegetation on the northern side of the Agua Hedionda Creek
floodplain.
Tine City has incorporated Macario Canyon in their Master Plan as a major regional active park.
Active park uses within Ma&o Canyon and its riparian and wetland habitats include a golf
course, ball fields, an amphitheater, and tennis courts. According to the letter from the City,
dated August 20, 1997, the City proposes to design a future 14-foot wide golf cart through the
riparian habitat in Macario Canyon in the vicinity of the proposed mitigation site for the Cannon
Road project. The golf cart path is part of the City’s municipal golf course. Additionally, the
City is currently evaluating the location of a new road (Faraday Avenue) that spans the length of
Macario Canyon on its northern, upland slope. The Kelly Ranch General Plan includes proposed
major developments and roads on the upland slopes along the south side of Reach 2, and the City
plans to propose widening of Park Drive along the northern side of Agua Hedionda Creek and
(10/S/97) frle::consult\canonrd\oannrd.bo2

wetlands. These activities are likely to further degrade the values of the riparian and wetland
vegetation in Macario Canyon and A,- Hedionda Creek floodplain as breeding and foraging
habitat for least Bell’s vireo and southwestern willow flycatcher through lights, noise and
disturbances, if not direct habitat loss.
The majority of activities anticipated to affect the De1 Mar manzanita within the foreseeable
furure are local urban development projects. Proposed projects that are expected to impact De1
Mar manzanita in the City include Carlsbad Municipal Golf Course, Villages of La Costa, and
Poinsettia Hills. Two regional conservation planning efforts, the Multiple Species Conservation
Plan (MSCP) and the Multiple Habitat Conservation Plan (MHCP) encompass the United States
range of this species and include De1 Mar manzanita as a target for conservation. The ultimate
result of this regional planning process is subject to the Service’s review, and if successful, such
efforts are expected to preclude significant cumulative effects upon De1 Mar manzanita. .
-
After reviewing the current status of the least Bell’s vireo, southwestern willow flycatcher, and
De1 Mar manzanita, the environmental conditions of the project area, the effects of the proposed
Cannon Road, Reaches 1 and 2 project, and the cumulative effects, it is the Setice’s biological
opinion that the Cannon Road, Reaches 1 and 2 project is not likely to jeopardize the continued
existence of the least Bell’s vireo, southwestern willow flycatcher, and De1 lMar manzanita.
Critical habitat for the least Bell’s vireo and southwestern willow flycatcher have been
designated as described in the species account section, however, this action does not affect those
areas1 and no destruction or adverse modification of that critical habitat will occur as a result of
the proposed action.
We base this conclusion on the following considerations: 1) effect of the action. including
avoidance and mitigation measures proposed as part of the description of the action; 2) the
importance of Agua Hedionda Creek and Ma&o Canyon to the swvival and recovery of the
least Bell’s vireo and southwestern willow flycatcher; and ;) the endangered status of the least
Bell’s vireo, southwestern willow flycatcher, and De1 Mar manzanita. With the off-setting
measures proposed by the applicant, the significant project-related effe,cts of the proposed action
are offset so that the action area is expected to function in a manner that is conducive to
maintaining and creating habitats for these endangered species.
CIDENTAT TA=
Section 9 of the Act prohibits the take of listed species without special authorizations. Taking is
defined as harassing, harming, pursuing, hunting, shooting, wounding, killing, trapping,
capturing, collecting, or attempting to engage in any such conduct. Harm is further defined to
include significant habitat modification or degradation that results in death or injury to listed
species by significantly impairing essential behavior patterns, including breeding, feeding, or
sheltering. Under the terms of section 7 (b) (4) and 7 (0) (2) of the Act, taking that is incidental
to and not intended as part of the agency action is not considered to be prohibited taking under
the Act provided that such take is in compliance with this incidental take statement. The
stipulations described as reasonable and prudent measures and terms and conditions are non-
(I O/S/97) lilc:\consulr\canonrd\cannrd.bo2
Colonel Robert L. Davis (l-6-97-F-5 1) 19
discretionary, and must be undertaken by the agency or made a binding condition of any grant or
permit, as appropriate. The Corps has a continuing duty to regulate the activity that is covered
by the incidental take statement. If your agency fails to require the City to adhere to the terms
and conditions of this incidental take statement, the protective coverage of section 7(o) (2) may
lapse.
Based on the analysis of direct and indirect effects of the action as described in the preceding
section, and including the mitigation measures that have been incorporated into the action, such
as limiting consuuction activities within 300 feet of riparian vegetation and keeping construction
noise levels below 60 dBA Leq. at 50 feet from the edge of the riparian vegetation between
September 15 and March 15, the Service anticipates that the following take may occur during the
construction and operation of the project:
1. Zero least Bell’s vireos and zero southwestern willow flycatchers may be killed or injured.
-
2. Four (4) pairs of least Bell’s vireo and three (3) non-paired individual southwestern willow
_ flycatchers may be taken in the form of harm from construction of the Gannon Road. Reaches
1 and2.
5, Fifteen (15) pairs of least Bell’s vireo, which includes the four pairs mentioned above, may be
taken in the form of harassment as a result of indirect impacts associated with vehicle noise
and lights once the project is completed and becomes operational.
4. .4pproximateiy 2.63 acres of least Bell’s vireo habitat will be permanently disturbed and 3.1
acres of least Bell’s vireo habitat will be temporarily disturbed from the construction of
Cannon Road, Reaches 1 and 2.
These numbers are based on the survey results of Tetra Tech. Inc. (unpublished data), Varanus
Biological Services. Inc. (unpublished data), and observations from Jeff Manning of the Service.
Tinose least Bell’s vireos detected in riparian vegetation adjacent to the Reach 2 right-of-way
along a distance of 2.000 feet westward from El Camino Real and those within the right-of-way
of the Reach 1 bridge, spanning Macario Canyon and its unnamed creek and the Reach 2 bridge,
spanning Agua Hedionda Creek are included.
If. during the course of the action, the amount or extent of the incidental take limit is reached, the
Corps shall immediately notify the Service in writing as required by 50 CFR 402.14(i) and
provide an explanation of the causes of the taking. If the incidental take limit is exceeded, the
Corps shall immediately cease the activity resulting in the take, and immediately reinitiate
consultation with the Service.
Reasonable and Prudent Measures
The following reasonable and prudent measures are necessary and appropriate to minimize the
incidental take of least Bell’s vireo and southwestern willow flycatcher.

Ensure that 3.3 1 acres of least Bell’s vireo and southwestern willow flycatcher habitats
(2.63 acres for permanent impacts plus 0.68 acre for temporary impacts) are created in
Macario Canyon prior to commencement of the above referenced project. The creation
site shall be located at the site referenced in Attachment 2 of this Biological Opinion
prior to commencement of the above referenced project. This creation_effort shall be in
accordance with the grading, planting, irrigation, maintenance, and monitoring plan that
is described in the Conceptual Wetlands Mitigation Plan for Reaches I and 2 of the
Cannon Road Extension Project, dated January 1997, and the table titled Container
plant species for wetland creation for Cannon Road West Reaches I and 2, provided to
the Service on June 24,1997 (Attachment 7).
Ensure that a 1 00-foot wide biological upland buffer is established on the easterly side
of the riparian mitigation site prior to commencement of the project referenced above.
Lights within the park shall be designed and placed in such a manner as to ensure no
spillage of light within the mitigation site or lOO-foot wide biological, upland buffer.
Provide for permanent protection of the riparian mitigation area and its biological
upland buffer in Ma&o Canyon as narural wildiife habitat through the establishment
of a perpetual conservation easement. The language of the conservation easement shall
be approved by the Corps and the Service, and be signed by all parties prior to
commencement of the referenced project. The language shaII include the adequate
protection of the riparian mitigation site from vehicle trtic and active park uses,
including golf and sports-related activities, hiking and bicyding trails, equestrian trails
and facilities, and other human-related activities. The conservation easement shall
include a statement indicating that the Corps and Service would consider the future,
proposed golf cart path, referenced in the section titled “Cumulative effects analysis” in
this B.O., if it is determined to be the least damaging practicable alternative under the
b( 1) guidelines alternatives analvsis as part of the furure Clean Water Act permit action.
It shall also be stated in the co&ervation easement that if the future golf cart path is
approved by the Service and Corps, compensatory mitigation would be required under
section 404 of the Clean Water .4ct and Section 7 of the Endangered Species Act.
Ensure that the riparian mitigation site achieves the intended success criteria prior to
commencement of the above referenced project. Success is anticipated to be achieved
within 12 months from the initiation of site preparation at the riparian mitigation site, as
(!0/8/97 file::consult\canonrd\cumrd.bo2
Colonel Robert L. Davis (1-6-97-F-5 1) 22 z
stated in the Conceptual Wetlands Mitigation Plan for Reaches 1 and 2 of the Cannon
Road Extension Project, dated January 1997. Success criteria shall be based on results
from quantifying species density and composition and the horizontal and vertical
vegetation structure along ten fixed, linear sampling transacts (samphng transacts)
spanning the width of the riparian mitigation site on the east-west axis and evenly
distributed across the riparian mitigation site along-the northwest-southeast axis. The
ten fixed, sampling transacts shall be located on a map, and a copy of the map shall be
provided to the Service prior to on-the-ground preparation of the riparian mitigation
site. Species density and composition shall be quantified by counting all individuals of
each shrub and tree species within 10 feet from the fixed sampling transacts and
calculating the densiry of each species for each hansect. Vertical vegetation (height)
success criteria (as described in Table 2-l of the Conceptual Wetlands Mitigation Plan
for Reaches I and 2 of the Cannon Road Extension Project, dated January 1997) shall
be evaluated by measuring the height of all trees within 10 feet of either side of each
transect, and calculating the mean separately for each transect. Horizontal vegetation
structure (canopy) success criteria for tree and shrub species (as described in Table 3-l
of the Conceptual Wetlands Mitigation Plan for Reaches 1 and 2%f the Cannon Road
E,xtension Project, dated January 1997) ‘shall be evaluated by performing the “line-
intercept” method described by Mueller-Dombois and Ellenberg (1 974) along the ten
fixed, sampling transacts. The percent canopy cover shall be calculated separately for
each transect. The survival of trees and shrubs shall be determined by counting the
number of individual dead plantings throughout the entire site and calculating the
percent of the originally planted material that is dead. Monitoring results shall be
provided to the Service prior to commencement of the project referenced above and in
accordance with the additional time periods described in the Conceptual Wetlands
Mitigation Plan for Reaches 1 and 2 of the Cannon Road Extension Project, dated
January 1997. Photographs from permanently fixed photo-documentation sites of the
mitigation sire shall be included in all monitoring reports.
2.5 Ensure that ail monitoring reports identify any necessary remedial measures for those
portions of the riparian mitigation site that do not meet the success criteria specified in
Term and Condition 2.5 of this Biological Opinion and in the Conceptual Wetlands
Mitigation Plan for Reaches 1 and 3 of the Cannon Road Extension Project, dated
January 1997.

trapping program shall consist of five traps located in five accessible areas where
cowbirds occur. Traps shall be monitored from March to September, and checked once
every day. Trapping methodology shall be in general conformance with techniques
described in Salata 1983. A scientific collecting permit from the California Department
of Fish and Game shaI1 be obtained. Any other bird .species caught shall be released.
An annual monitoring report on the trapping effort shaI1 be submitted to the Service by
November 15th of each year.
5. In order to implement Reasonable and Prudent Measure number five, the Corps and the City
shall:
5.1 If the City fails to comply with any of the measures incorporated into the project to
minimize the impacts to federally listed species and their habitats, Reasonable and
Prudent Measures, or Terms and Conditions of this Biological Opinion, the Corps shall
suspend the 404 Clean Water Act permit until such time as the City is in compliance
with the Terms and Conditions of this Biological Opinion. The Corps shall notify the
City in a written letter of the City’s non-compliance with the Terms and Conditions of
this Biological Opinion.
. . Bisposl tion of Sick. Iniured. or Dead Individuals
[l] Upon locating a dead, injured, or sick endangered or threatened species specimen, initial
notification must be made to the nearest Service Law Enforcement Office [e.g. Torrance (3 10)
984-00623. Care should be taken in handling sick or injured specimens to ensure effective
treatment and care in handling dead specimens to preserve biological material in the best possible
state for later analysis of cause of death. In conjunction with the care of sick or injured
endangered species or preservation of biological materials from a dead animal, the finder has the
responsibiliy to ensure that evidence intrinsic to the specimen is not unnecessarily disturbed.
[2] The Service’s Carlsbad Office is to be notified within three working days should any
threatened or endangered species be found dead or injured during this project. Notification must
inciude the date, time, and location of the carcass, and any other pertinent information. Dead
animals may be marked in an appropriate manner, photo_eraphed, and left on-site. Injured
animals should be transported to a qualified veterinarian. Should any treated animals survive, the
Service should be contacted regarding the final disposition of the animals. The Service contact
person is Jeff Manning and may be contacted at the letterhead address or at (760) 43 l-9440.
Section 7(a)( 1) of the Act directs Federal agencies to utilize their authorities to further the
purposes of the Act by carrying out conservation programs for the benefit of endangered and
threatened species. The term “conservation recommendations” has been defined as suggestions
of the Service regarding discretionary measures to minimite or avoid adverse effects of a
proposed action on listed species or critical habitat or regarding the development of information.

Re: .$a Hedionda Lagoon Properry Analysis Record (PAR-PO26)
Dear Ms Howard:
This letter is being written to establish the assumptions under which the Property
Analysis Record (PAR) was prepared, summake the results of that PAR, and describe
the terms under which the Agua Hedionda Lagoon propeq (“Property”) should be set
aside for the preservation of the riparian forest and coastal marsh. Cameron Barrows
(CXLM Southern California Regional Director) and I have had the’opportunity to
revie7.v the Property with Jeff’Manning of the USJWS, Ti Dilliigham of the CDFG
and you, and have arrived at a budget and endowment requirements necessary to
petiorm appropriate management actions to ensure the Property’s resource values are
maintained over time.
Prouernr Sununarv
The Properry contains appro,ximately 156 acres. It is located in San Diego County
within the City of Carisbad. Sic&ficant southern willow riparian forest and coastal
saltwater marsh habitats are located on the Property which shall be preserved under the
mitigation agreement. These habitats are naturally dynamic, and that change may have
been acceierated or retarded by altered sedimentation and hydrblogy from surrounding
development. Predicting the long term impacts of these changes is difficult without
additional research but for the purposes of this P.kR it is assumed that the habitats are
sufficiently healthy and robust to be maintained with proper management techniques.
An evaluation should be conducted in the near future to ascertain the rates and
direction of habitat dynamics as a result of potentially altered sedimentation and
hydrolog so managers can react appropriately. Funds for this evaluation are included
in the PAR. -
The natural habitats inciuded in the Property are currently of sufficiently high quality \ - i. \ \ \ . I .

ioement S trateeies
ss otherwise noted, it is assumed that management strategies will be impiemented by the
erty manager.
P.4R was deveIoped with the assumption that the habitat owner and manager has not been
ally identi5ed. However, an offer of dedication exists to the California Depammt of Fish
Game (CDFG). In light of the formai relationship of CDFG with the National Fiih and
tlife Foundation (NVF) to hold and manage mitigation endowments, the endowment
mpticn was based on ?ii or another private nonprofit organization holding title and
lying the funds. A conservation easement dedicated to CDFG or the City should be recorded
- the property if a third pq manager other than CDFG will hoid title. CDFG labor rates
2 used.

workers camps wiil be c!eared by the KeiIy Ranch Company. prior to transfer to a land
:a,oemenr entity. A seven day inspection period to insure ail camps have been removed should
eiuired. Due to the history of camps here, it is likely that workers will attempt to re-establish
: camps soon after being removed. Therefore, an active patrolling and eviction action will be
lired and this service will need to be contracted out to a quaiified security 6rm. The PAR has
nated these costs, assuming that patrolling and enforcement will occur in pairs (for safety) for
ral of about 9-10 person hours per week. Cleaning up of new camps will be required and
Id be conducted wirh CCC crews. The timing of dean ups wiil need to be coordinated with
xcement and eviction actions by the serxity Erm. Clean up hours were estimated on the basis
-10 member CCC crews working 200 person hrs / year. Dumpster service will need to be
rdinated with dean up actions.
exotic piant infestations are currently at a relatively low Ievel compared to other southern
fornia riparian forests; .this is therefore a relatively inexpensive time to begin removing the
I species. Giant reed (~Inmdo donax), fennel, eucalyptus, pampas grass, castor bean, various
:ic palms and agaves, and cockleburr were atI observed on the Property in various stages of
anding popuiations. AU of these weeds can and will take over the native riparian plant species,
none are utilized as habitat by the vireos.
oniy efktive and approved method of removing theses weeds in riparian habitats involves
use of the herbicide RODEO, manufactured by Monsanto. In many cases the weeds need to
:ut or girdled prior to the application of the herbicide. The PAR assumed the use of CCC type
,vs for cutting; herbicide application should be restricted to only those people licensed to apply
licides. This can be contracted out, or the Property manager could be licensed. This work
1 estimated at 250 person hours per year for the fist year, declining substantially each year
-eafter.

:e eucalyptus trees at the east end of the Property along El Camino Real may have some
raptors and to local people. They are also the source of a large infestation of young
‘he young eucalyptus should be removed immediate!y; The larger trees should be girdled
‘, but not removed so that they still maintain raptor and scenic value.
Ieaded cowbirds are new to California habitats over the past century, and native
!s, in&ding the vireos, have not deveioped mechanisms for avoiding the cqwbirds’ nest
.m. The only effective method for controlling cowbirds inciudes setting traps baited with
.birds. The traps require daily checking during the vireos’ nesting season. The PAR
1 ’ three traps be set on the Property and a total of 150 person hours per year needed to
1 the traps.
gs, cats and red foxes can decimate native animal populations in restricted coastal
especially ground nesting birds such as light-footed ciapper rails. ,One of the most
: and cheapest ways to control non-native predators is to maintain a healthy coyote
on. The creation of habitat corridors to surrounding natural habitats is essential to
tig coyote populations. - _~
- -h corridor creation is beyond the scope of the P.AR fencing surrounding the Property is
le PAR’s scope and that fencing must be porous to coyote movement. The Center
; a 6’ post and three strand cable fence in areas where coyote movement is desired. It is
:o coyotes, attractive, and durable. This s@e fencing would be installed along Park Drive.
no Real is an access point for trespassing workers and a dangerous road for wildlife
=?t, so a non-porous chain-link fence is recommended there. Based on discussions on -site,
-2 that was funded through this endowment would occur on Cannon Drive.
:;e!opment wiil be !imited or non-existent within the Property. The impact on the PAR
.s to whether or not trail development and maintenance is included or not is minor. It is
x that the surrounding community understands and supports the Protection of this
:. Without that support there will be a continued erosion of habitat values along the
I’ mar-gin from illegal dumping, trespassing and uncontrolled pet use. With local supper,
her of concerned “eyes” for patrolling, and controlling trespassing and farm worker
roiiferation wiIl increase by orders.of magnitude. For this reason the PAR inciudes time
for community outreach, production of interpretive literature, and limited trail ,
ment along Park Drive.
lter recommends property evaluation or “walk thorough’* a madmum of seven (7) days
transfer of title to which ever entity may assume ownership of the site, to ensure
nce with commitments by Kelly Ranch Company. This would also ensure that new
.s have not arisen just prior to the transfer of title.
R includes annual monitoring of both the vireos and the rails. It is critical to foilow those
.ons over time and document changes if they occur. The Properry,managers will have no

:ool to evaluate the impacts of management actions or “flag” to dictate when additional
; are required. The proposed monitoring would be limited to tenitory mapping and may
: biologists certified to monitor those species.
ItaI hours for the propercy manager to complete mana_eement strate_eies would equal
timate!y one quaRer of a person’s time. Office and travel costs, as well as administrative
were scaled to that percentage.
Zstimates
‘.U estimates for management costs an endowment required to provide those fbds are
led to this letter. included in this estimate are overhead costs of 22/o, which is less than that
-ed by state agencies (26-32’ 0) but similar to what the Center or other nonprofits would
re. We recommend that the endowment be held and invested by the National Fish and
ife Foundarion which could provide a relatively secure investment program at returns
Iarable to those included in this P-AR. Stare and federai agencies are often restricted to lower
and lower rerum options for investing endowments. Those returns would not have interest
ns on the proposed endowment necessary to provide the annuai management funds, nor
.d tie interest be-able to keep up with infIation rates. Over time, the endowment would be
;oTund less and Iess management. By choosing lower interest return oprions the endowment -
.d have be increased to meet management needs.
PAR cost esrimates have two parts: (I} a cash amount to cover iniriai and capitaI expenses
as a management plan, initial fie!d evaluations, setting management and accounting systems,
3 legal and contingency fund; and (2) a trust amount to cover on-going costs. The trust must
;Ifficienr to provide income coverirq the cost of mana,oe.ment of the property, inflation, and
: management fees. In consuitation u;irh trust managers, we have used a 30-year history of
:ges in the consumer price index, bond returns, stock aporeciation and yields assuming a . ‘riced porrfoiio to determine our estimate. We will be happy to review this data with you
.g with our manage.ment cost assumptions and charitable contribution criteria and guidelines.
uming that the funds are paid at the time of the Iand dedication, the perpetual management of
consened habitat would involve the following amounts: .
Initial Year Costs (Year I) S 64,706
Ongoing Annual Costs Following Year I s 52,438
He!d in Trust (Endowment) S 1,048,557
Total Contribution S 13213,263
a per acre basis, permanent stewardship is equal to S2S2 per year in current dollars. This amount
I be derived from the one-time endowment $5,637 per acre.

Staff reconxnends ,approval of the project, subject to special
conditions requiring submittal of revegetation plans, erosion control plans
and final staging plans. The revegetation plan will assure the Conunission
that impacts to roastal sage scrub and southern maritime chaparral resulting
from road construction will be mitigated consistent with resource agency
approvals and past Conxnission action. Staff reconxnends approval of the proposed grading and installation of permanent erosion control measures until
November 30, 1997 because completion of the entire Cannon Road project (Reachs
I and II) cannot be done within one season based on the presence of two
federally listed endangered avian species, the California Gnatcatcher and the
Least Bell's vireo, which occur along different segments of Cannon Road. The erosion control plans will ensure that grading will not result in any sedimentation impacts to the downstream sensitive resources of Agua Hedionda
Lagoon or Macario Canyon. The staging area plans will ensure that construction corridors and staging areas shall be located in a manner that has the least impact on biological resources of the area.

IV. Findinas and Declarations.
The Commission finds and declares as follows:
1. Detailed Development Desrribtion and Hittary. On November 17, 1990, the Commission approved COP #6-89-195 for the construction of Reach 1 of Cannon Road, a City of Carlsbad circulation element "Major Road." Reach I was approved at 1.25 miles long from Paseo De1 Norte, east of Interstate Highway 5, to the eastern side of Macario Canyon. The roadway was approved as a four-lane major arterial, with a l02-foot wide right of way. Macario Canyon was approved to be crossed by a bridge of about 500 feet in length.
Cannon Road Reach I is. located south of Agua Hedionda Lagoon between I-5 and El Camino Real. The roadway is proposed to cross the mesa top above the
lagoon. This area is currently primarily developed with agricultural fields.
As originally approved, from the mesa top, the road would bridge Hacario Canyon, an area containing a well-developed riparian area and some coastal brackish marsh, and terminate on the eastern canyon rim.
Design and planning for Cannon Road Reaches I and II were both'initiated prior
to 1985. Both private development and public works approaches to constructing the road were initiated. Due to the economic downturn in the li:te 1980s anti
early 199Os, both projects were postponed. As noted, Reach I of the Cannon Road alignment as approved in CDP #6-89-195 ran fron the east side of Macario
Canyon west approximately 1.25 miles to Paseo De1 Norte. Since that time, Cannon Road has been extended from Paseo De1 Norte to Lego Drive with the
development of Carlsbad Ranch, a multiple use project, including Legoland, on
447 acres near Cannon Road's intersection with 1-5. Reach II of Cannon Road
includes approval of the roadway from the eastern edge of Macario Canyon
eastward to El Camino Real about 5,600 lineal feet. The alignment of Cannon Road Reach II was approved by the Coeuaission in its approval of the Kelly
Ranch Master Plan (CDP #6-84-617). another mixed use project on 433 acres
located east of Agua Hedionda Lagoon. However, the California Department of
Fish and Game and Army Corp of Engineers permits for Reach II have expired and
a.Rew coastal development permit for that road extension will also be required.
CDP 6-97-10
Page 4
The Conmission approved CDP #6-89-195 subject to special conditions requiring the submittal Of a detailed biological mitigation and monitoring plan detailing the type, amount and location of mitigation for all brackish marsh impacts and establishing a monitoring program to measure the success of the mitigation, special provisions for the protection of least Bell's vireo nesting habitat during the nesting season, submittal of runoff and erosion control plans, submittal of slope revegetation plans and submittal of a
staging plan for construction equipment and materials. CDP #6-89-195 also approved the removal of 3.4 acres of mixed chaparral and 2.4 acres of coastal sage scrub vegetation. However, the permit expired and the City has resubmitted the project, in part, under the subject application.
The Commission found in CDP #6-89-195 that the proposed alignment represented
the'least environmentally-damaging alternative to construct Reach I. This:
alternative was selected based on an alignment study approved by the Commission and incorporated into the Agua Hedionda Land Use Plan as Policy 5.8. Three other road alignments were considered in addition to the approved alignment. The approved alignment was found the most reasonable and least environmentally disruptive alternative when considering visual quality, grading, service capacity, cost, land use and property conflicts. No change
to the previously approved alignment is proposed with this request.
The subject application proposes to phase CDP #6-97-10 to allow the Cormnission
to approve a portion of Cannon Road Reach I without wetland, riparian and
endangered species impacts associated with what the Commission approved in CDP
#6-89-l 95. A mitigation plan for the wetland and riparian impacts themselves
has been accepted by the resource agencies for both Reach I and Reach II.
Additionally, the Cormnission approved a mitigation plan for those impacts in
CDP #6-89-195. However, wetland and riparian impacts are still an issue
insofar as those habitats provide living area to two endangered avian species
and mitigation requirements for impacts to bird species is yet to be
resolved. Currently, the City is working with the resource agencies on
providing adequate mitigation for adverse impacts to least Bell's vireo and
southwestern willow flycatcher, both on the federal endangered species list,
who reside in wetland and riparian habitat areas adjacent to Macario Canyon
and along Reach II of Cannon Road. The stakeholders.have been unable to agree
on an acceptable mitigation plan to mitigate the impacts of the bridge and
road construction work on the endangered birds; and, as a result; the
construction of the bridge crossing Macario Canyon and construction of Reach II have been put on hold. Phase II of the Reach I segment would include crossing Macario Canyon with the bridge.
The subject application removes the crossing of Macario Canyon with the bridge from the Commission's review, by proposing grading only to create the road
alignment that would stop at the western edge of Macario Canyon. The City is
proposing the phasing of the permit to allow more time to resolve the endangered species issue and mitigation needs. However, with this application, 3.1 acres of southern maritime chaparral and approximately 1.9 acres of coastal sage scrub vegetation would be impacted. As noted, CDP #6-89-195 approved the removal of 3.1 acres of mixed chaparral and 2.4 acres of coastal sage scrub vegetation. About .5 of an acre of coastal sage scrub
CDP 6-97-10
Page 5
located on thenwestern side of Macario Canyon in the proposed location of a
bridge abutment associated with the bridge crossing-would be impacted in Phase II of the Reach I project.
The proposed project also includes a request to grade within the rainy season
from approximately October 22, 1997 to November 30, 1997. The rainy season is
defined in the Agua Hedionda LUP as being from October 1 to March 31 of any
given year. Both the grading of the road and installation of the required
erosion control measures would occur after the October 1 deadline as proposed
in the applicant"s tentative schedule. The -proposed project would install temporary erosion control devices in the period between October 15 and
November 15 of this year; permanent erosion control devices would be installed
at the completion of grading to assure protection of downstream resources
throughout the rainy season.
While the City acknowledges the grading restriction, due to the relative narrow construction window resulting from the application of rainy season grading restrictions and California gnatcatcher nesting season grading prohibitions (February 15 to September 151, the City has decided to ask the Commission for relief from the rainy season restriction. Because of the narrow construction window, the City indicates that it would take several years to complete the project which makes it unfeasible. Additionally, the City has the opportunity to obtain excavated earth from Legoland, located within l/2 mile of the project site. This earth would be used as fill to construct Phase I of Reach I of Cannon Road.
. . 2. ~viron~tallv Sensitive HabItat Are= . Section 30231 of the Act states:
The biological productivity and the quality of coastal waters, streams, wetlands, estuaries, and lakes appropriate to.maintain optimum populations of marine organisms and for the protection of human health shall be maintained and, where feasible, restored through, among other means, minimizing adverse effects of waste water discharges and
entrainment, controlling runoff, preventing depletion of ground water
supplies and substantial interference with surface water flow, encouraging waste water reclamation, maintaining natural vegetation buffer areas that
protect riparian habitats, and minimiting alteration of natural streams.
Section 30240 of the'Act states:
(a) Environmentally sensitive habitat areas shall be protected against any significant disruption of habitat values, and only
uses dependent on such resources shall be allowed within such areas.
(b) Development in areas adjacent to environmentally
sensitive habitat areas and parks and recreation areas shall be sited and
designed to prevent impacts which would significantly degrade such areas,
and shall be compatible with the continuance of such habitat areas.
Finally, Section 30253 of the Act states, in part:
CDP 6-97-10
Page 6
New development shall: [...I
(2) Assure stability and structural integrity, and neither create nor contribute significantly to erosion, geologic instability, or
destruction of the site or surrounding area or in any way require the
construction of protective devices that would substantially alter natural landforms along bluffs and cliffs.
A. Encroachment in Habitat Ata.
In its initial action on the project, the Commission considered the wide range of issues relative to both the fill of wetlands and other environmentally sensitive habitat areas, and the disruption of habitat values of upland areas that are also home to vegetation that is sensitive or of limited distribution. As mitigation for the impacts to wetland areas, the Commission's approval required the submittal of a mitigation plan or design which creates habitat in exchange for habitat areas filled to implement the
project.
The City has requested that the permit for the proposed development be
phased. This would allow the Corrvnission to review the project absent,the
wetland impacts the Commission considered in the previous approval, prior to
the issuance of the permit for the remainder of the project (i.e. bridge,
Reach II). The proposal further requests the ability to accept graded
materials generated during grading of the adjacent Legoland project.
Since the time of the Commission's original approval for Reach I and subsequent extensions of the permit, the listing of a number of sensitive plants and animals (least Bell's vireo, California gnatcatcher, southwestern
willow flycatcher, arroyo southwestern toad and Pacific little pocket mouse)
has brought into question whether the approved alignment is the least
environmentally-damaging alternative. As a result, the U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers (ACOE> and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (IJSFWS) determined
that new studfes were necessary regarding the project which has resulted' in
the need for new approvals. Existing approvals for Reach I and Reach II by
the California Department of Fish and Game (CDFG) and the Army Corps of
Engineers (ACOE) have expired.
As part of its permit review, the ACOE has asked the USFWS to prepare a
Biological Opinion regarding the impact of both Reach I and Reach II on the
previously mentioned endangered species. The draft Biological Opinion
identifies mitigation measures that can be implemented to mitigate adverse impacts to most significantly California gnatcatchers in the vicinity of
Macario Canyon and least Bell's vireo and southwestern willow flycatchers in
riparian and wetland habitat adjacent to Macario Canyon and along the Reach II
alignment. None of the mitigation measures include changing the approved alignment of either Reach I or Reach II, and no changes to the alignment are expected to occur as part of the ACOE permit. The CDFG has also indicated
that no change in the alignment of Cannon Road will be recommended in its new
streamb.ed alteration agreement. Other alignments near the proposed alignment
- were considered but dismissed because resource and endangered species impacts
CDP 6-97-10 Page 7
associated with those alignments were not significantly less than the proposed
alignment. That is, moving the road's alignment around impacted a number of
environmentally sensitive plants or animals so that no clearly superior
environmentally preferred alignment emerged to replace the proposed alignment. Consequently, the. resource agencies agree there are no alternative
alignments that are significantly better than the previously approved
alignment with respect to protecting sensitive plants and animals. Thus, the Commission finds this action presents no prejudice in establishing the flnal alignment of Cannon Road given these considerations.
In response to addressing the proposed upland impacts of the project, the City.
has received a Habitat Loss Permit to "take" 2.4 acres of coastal sage.scrub
and 3.1 acres of southern maritime chaparral. The permit was received in
response to the CDFG's Natural Coeenunity Conservation Planning (NCCP) effort. With the approval, DFG has found the project consistent with the NCCP Conservation Guidelines and the 4(d) rule and, by extension, the City's draft Habitat Management Plan (HMP) whose purpose is to preserve coastal sage scrub and other sensitive habitats within the City as part of the NCCP program. In the 4(d) approval, mitigation of 2.4 acres of coastal sage scrub at a 2:1
ratio was approved to be mitigated off-site through the purchase of mitigation
credits from Carlsbad Highlands, a mitigation bank. Mitigation at a 2:l ratio
was approved for impacts to 3.1 acres of southern maritime chaparral to be
mitigated through the purchase of mitigation credits from the Manchester
Avenue Conservation Bank or the purchase of southern maritime chaparral within the City of Carlsbad. The USFWS has extended the time period for .the purchase
of southern maritime chaparral until February 1998 in the hopes that in-kind
mitigation could be found in the City.
The above.identified impacts to coastal sage scrub and southern maritime chapdrral represent the entirety of impacts to those habitats for both Reaches IandII. As noted, approximately 5 acres of impact to coastal sage scrub
associated with construction of a bridge embankment over Macario Canyon would
occur in Phase II of Cannon Road Reach I and therefore is not technically
before the Conunission at this time:but this impact was accounted for in the
City's 4(d) approval. In COP #.6-89-195, the Connission found that although the placement of fill or other grading would ordinarily not be allowed to occur on the steeply-sloping, vegetated sides of Macario Canyon, the exemptions from such a restriction are provided for circulation element roads
in the City's LCP documents and as such could be accepted if mitigated.
Additionally, these- impacts are acceptable due to'the previously mentioned
NCCP effort. Cannon Road is identified in the City's draft HMP as being in lands adjacent to Core Area 4. This core area supports regionally and. locally
important acreage of saltmarsh, freshwater marsh and coastal sage scrub.
Major patches of coastal sage scrub are also present, as are smaller patches of grassland, southern maritime chapdrral, southern mixed chaparral and
coastal sage/chaparral.
The wetland habitats support critical populations of saltmarsh skipper
butterfly, light footed clapper rail, western snowy plover, California least
tern, least Bell's vireo and Belding's Savannah sparrow. The upland habitats support the California gnatcatcher.
CDP 6-97-10

The following are comments by the City of Carlsbad:
The draft HMP will state that existing and planned roads shall be designed
to minimize impacts to sensitive habitats and wildlife movement. Roads in the preserve shall be limited to those identified in the circulation element of the general plan and necessary maintenance/emergency roads. Roads shall be designed to minimize habitat fragmentation and disruption of wildlife movement and breeding areas. Bridges or structures providing wildlife undercrossings shall be used where feasible instead of culverts
for significant riparian crossings and regional wildlife corridors.
Cannon Road as designed conforms to the standards described in the draft HMP. It has been designed to minimite impacts to sensi'tive species. The
alternative alignments have been extensively analyzed, and the selected alignment has been found to be least environmentally damaging. A bridge is being provided to facilitate wildlife movement between Macario Canyon and Agua Hedionda Lagoon. A second bridge is being provided where Cannon Road will intersect with El Camino Real to facilitate wildlife movement between Core Area 4 and habitat areas to the east. Various measures will be used to minimize noise and other indirect impacts to least Bell's vireos and other species using the wetland habitat. Impacts to the California gnatcatcher have been reduced to the minimum, and mitigation has been provided pursuant to a 4(d) permit which has been approved by the USFWS and CDFG.
In addi.tion to the project design features, the City will be carrying out
significant management of the adjacent lagoon area to ensure the continued
benefit of the habitat for least Bell's vireo and other species. The City
will.be directly funding management costs and a portion of the perpetual
management costs. The City will also be working with the wildlife
agencies and private property owners to seek the remainder of funding
needed for perpetual management.
.In conclusion, Cannon Road is fully consistent with the draft HMP and all applicable wildlife regulations. The mitigation and management actions
which the City will be taking will ensure that the adjacent 'wetland and
upland habitat areas experience no net loss of habitat function and value
over time.
It should be noted the draft HMP has not been submitted to the resource agencies for approval to date. However, based on the preceding comments, the Commission finds that approval of Cannon Road can be found consistent with the
statewide NCCP process and the impacts to environmentally sensitive habitats, such as coastal sage scrub and southern maritime chaparral, can be accepted. The Commission also notes that Cannon Road is an important east/west arterial
that will promote public access to the shoreline of Carlsbad and enhance
regional mobility for coastal visitors. Even within identified preserve areas
where little or no development is planned, it may be impossible to avoid the
completion of major circulation element roads, such as Cannon Road in this instance.

CDP #6-89-195 required the revegetation of coastal sage scrub and chaparral areas disturbed by grading to realize no net loss of habitat values and to
partially mitigate the visual impact of the grading. The Commission finds that is again appropriate to require revegetation of those sensitive habitat areas that would be disturbed by construction of Cannon Road. As noted the Agua Hedionda LUP allows for resource impacts associated with construc&on of
Cannon Road as long as they are adequately mitigated. For that reason,
Special ,Condition #l requires a revegetation plan must be provided that
indicates all disturbed or manufactured steep slope areas shall be revegetated
with native plants compatible with adjacent natural vegetation to re-establish
the area consistent with its present character.
In addition to curtailing the impacts to the maximum extent feasible, the
Commission notes that the City's proposal to mitigate sensitive habitat
' impacts at those ratios approved in the 4(d) permit will protect habitat values consistent with applicable Chapter 3 policies and the certified land
use plan. This.mitigation exceeds what the Commission approved in CDP
#6-89-195, although it is being provided off-site and outside the coastal zone
for the sage scrub impacts. As a whole, however, the resource impacts of this
circulation element road completion represent the least environmentally-
damaging design, and they have been limited and suitably mitigated in
conjunction with the creation of the City's Habitat Management Plan efforts.
6. -
Regarding the request to grade within the rainy season, the City has submitted
a grading and erosion control plan for the subject proposal to prevent erosion
and subsequent sediment transport into sensitive resource areas, particularly
during the winter rainy season. In this location, Cannon Road is located less
than 1000 feet south of Agua Hedionda Lagoon at contours averaging about 150 above mean sea level. This area drains to the south shore of the lagoon. The City proposes to provide two phases of erosion control for the construction of Cannon Road. The first phase is the temporary erosion control measures to be implemented during the construction of Cannon Road. The second phase is the erosion control measures implemented once the road is graded.
The City has submitted a detailed grading and erosion control schedule for the
proposed project. The proposed grading will take three weeks to tomplete. The construction of the storm drain system for the street will take two weeks. According to the City, starting the construction innnediately after the
Commission hearing will take the operation into mid-November when all erosion control devices will b e

non Road would not occur until mid-October which is - _ inconsistent with the Coewnission's rainy season policy. However, while the
grading would not occur at Cannon Road until mid-October, staff recommends the
Commission approve the project noting that, because of restrictions placed on
CDP 6-97-10
Page 10
/” the time in which grading can occur by the resource agencies (because of r- California Gnatcatcher and least Bell's Vireo nesting seasons), it would take
at least two full seasons to grade the road. This result would make the Cannon Road project prohibitively expensive and time-consuming. Eased on the City's efforts to secure the site with an extensive erosion control program which will limit any downstream impacts to sensitive.resources lacated within Agua Hedionda Lagoon and Macario Canyon from occurring and based on the assurance that grading can be completed by November 30, the Commission can support the Cannon Road project.
The first phase of erosion control will begin with the placement of a silt fence around the project anywhere there is the potential for runoff. Clearing and grubbing and the removal and recompaction of unsuitable soils wi 11 be accomplished the first week of construction. The canyon (deep) storm drain will be constructed immediately following the compaction of the unsuitable material. Temporary desiltation basins will be constructed as part of the removal and recompaction operation within the limits of grading to capture and desilt surface runoff. As the project is graded, temporary swales and/or gravel bags will be used to divert surface flows to the temporary desiltation basins throughout the construction of the project whenever there is threat of rainfall. Haybales will be incorporated as necessary to provide additional erosion control. The City will have all removable protective erosion control
measures in place at the end of each working day when the five (5) day rain
probability forecast exceeds forty percent (40%). Historically, the rainfall
in October and November is less than what occurs in January and February. The
City, by Code, requires any grading operations beginning after November 16 to
have all erosion control measures installed prior to the start of grading. Silt and debris will be removed after each event. The storm drain system for
the roadway will be constructed with the completion of the road.
The second phase of erosion control will be the permanent erosion control
devices. These include maintaining the silt fence until the slope planting is
established, slope planting and matting, the use of gravel bags and
depressions at the storm drain inlets to desilt the surface runoff. Hecrete
check dams will be constructed to slow surface flows and limit the amount of
erosion. Hecrete is a hybrid Portland cement concrete product; it is a nonstructural concrete composition for the construction of temporary, environmentally safe structures for erosion and storm water control, backfill and nonstructural grout. The submitted grading schedule indicates the last
permanent erosion protection provision that will occur is the construction of
the storm drain that drains the roadway which will be completed on November
30, 1997. The plan also indicates maintenance of temporary erosion control measures is the responsibility of the applicant, including replacement of any
devices altered or dislodged by storms. Special Condition #2 requires that
prior to the issuance of the permit, the applicant shall submit final grading
plans in substantial conformance with the submitted plans, that all permanent run off and erosion control devices shall .be developed and installed prior to or concurrent with any on-site grading activities, and that all areas
disturbed but not completed during the construction period shall be stabilired
in advance of November 30, 1997. The use of temporary erosion control
P measures, such as berms, interceptor ditches, sandbagging, filtered inlets,
CDP 6-97- 10
Page 11
debris basins,"*and silt traps shall be utilized in conjunction with plantings ' to minimize soil loss from the construction site. Any variation from the schedule shall be reviewed as an amendment to this coastal development permit.
The project also raises the potential for impacts associated with the
construction materials and equipment. Inappropriate access and haul routes, inappropriate storage of equipment, construction materials or stockpiled soils all could result in damage to coastal sage scrub and southern maritime
chaparral. For this reason, Special Condition #3 has been proposed. It
requires that a plan and construction bid documents identifying all
construction staging sites and haul routes be submitted for the Executive
Director's review and approval after determining that no impacts to sensitive
resources will result beyond those associated with the road construction itself.
Given this special condition, the potential impacts to environmentally sensitive habitat areas will be reduced to the maximum extent feasible. Therefore, the Commission finds that the subject permit, as conditioned, is consistent with Sections 30231 and 30253 of the Act.
3. &al Coastal Planninq. Section 30604 (a) also requires that a
coastal development permit amendment shall be issued only if the Commission
finds that, the permitted development will,not prejudice the ability of the local government to prepare a Local Coastal Program (LCP) in conformity with the provisions of Chapter 3 of the Coastal Act. As noted above, the project lies in the areas under the jurisdiction of the certified Agua Hedionda Land Use Plan which was prepared by the City and approved by the Conmnission. and which has been subject to several LUP amendments.
The proposal for the construction of th.e Cannon Road project has been reviewed
by the Commission in several separate formal actions. First, the Conwnission
denied certification of the Agua Hedionda LUP as submitted, based, in part, upon the originally proposed alignment's impacts upon the sensitive resources of Agua Hedionda Lagoon. In response to this denial, a negotiating conmnittee
comprised of Commission members, City officials and members of both City and
Commission staff was formed to identify a conceptual alignment for Cannon
Road, as well as address other reRlaining issues resulting from the denial of
the LUP. I
Second, the conceptual alignment agreed upon by the negotiating cokittee was
included in the City's LUP resubmittal (subsequently certified by the
Commission), along with design criteria and mitigation policies to be applied to the roadway project. The policies regarding mi ttgation are included in Policy 5.8 of the certified LUP.
The proposed project would allow the phasing of the permit to allow grading of
a portion of Reach I to proceed prior to the completion of all the other
special conditions and prior to the transmittal of the permit for the major
portion of the project. The phasing of the permit will not reduce the level
of mitigation required or result in any conflicts with the certified WP. In
fact, more mitigation is proposed for impacts to coastal sage scrub and
-
CDP 6-97-10
Page 12
southern maritime chaparral as a result of recent permit approvals received by
the City in connection with the State Department of Fish and Game's NCCP
process. Therefore, the Commission finds that the subject development, as
conditioned, is consistent with the certified Agua Hedionda LUP and Chapter 3
policies.
4. Consistencv with the California Environmental Oualitv Act (CFOAi.
Section 13096 of the Commission's Code of Regulations requires Commission
approval of Coastal Development Permits to'be supported by a finding showing
the permit, as conditioned, to be consistent with any applicable requirements
of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). Section 21080.5(d)(2)(i) of CEQA prohibits a proposed development from being approved if there are feasible alternatives or feasible mitigation measures available which would substantially lessen any significant adverse impact which the activity may have on the environment.
The proposed project has been conditioned in'order to be found consistent with the resource protection policies of the Coastal Act. The attached mitigation
measures will minimize all adverse environmental impacts. As conditioned,
there are no feasible alternatives or feasible mitigation measures available
which would substantially lessen any significant adverse impact which the
activity may have on the environment.- Therefore, the Commission finds that
the proposed project, as conditioned to mitigate the identified impacts, is
the least environmentally-damaging feasible alternative and can be found consistent with the requirements of the Coastal Act to conform to CEQA.

SPECIAL:
The permit is subject to the following conditions:
.* . . 1. * . Prior to the issuance of the coastal development
permit, the applicant shah submit to the Executive Director for review and written
approval, a detailed wetland mitigation plan for all temporary and permanent impacts
associated with the proposed project The plan shall contain a detailed site plan of the
wetland impact area(s), clearly delineating all areas of impact (temporary and permanent),
which shall identify the exact acreage of each impact so identified The wetland
mitigation plan shall also incorporate the following:
a. Identification of the required ofi%ite mitigation site(s). Said mitigation shall
occur on one or more of the following sites: the 3.3! acre site upland of Macario Canyon
as identified in the City’s Conceptual Wetlands Mitigation Plan for Reaches 1 and 2 of
the Cannon Road Extension Project, dated January 1997, the 44 acre site on Kelly Ranch
adjacent to El Camino Real (reference Exhibit 4), the Tijuana Estuary and up to 3.02
acres within the Agua Hedionda Preserve as identified in consultation with the California
Department of Fish and Game. The proposed fee payment in-lieu of restoration of 3.02
acres within the Agua Hedionda Preserve is specifically not author&d. Use of any other
site to meet the mitigation requirement, other than those identified above, would require
an amendment to this permit. The applicant shall also submit a site plan of the
mitigation site(s) which quantifies the existing wetland aud upland areas of the
property(ies), including those to be restored within the Agua Hedionda Preserve.
b. Mitigation of p ennanent direct wetland impacts associated with the proposed
development by creation/restoration of Southern Willow Riparian Scrub and Riparian
Scrub at a 3: 1 ratio (creation to loss). Thus, 4.77 acres of riparian habitat must be created.
to mitigate proposed direct permanent impacts to 1.59 acres of reparian habitat.
Mitigation of permanent impacts to open water (0.14 acres) is required at a 1: 1 r&o.
Said mitigation shall only involve upland suitable for conversion to wetlands, (Macatio
Canyon and Kelly Ranch sites), as described .in the Conceptual Wetlands Mitigatin Plan
for Reaches 1 and 2 of the Cannon Road Extension Project, dated January 1997 and/or
restoration as proposed in the Agua Hedionda Preserve area.
c. In-kind mitigation at a replacement ratio of 1: 1 for all brackish marsh and
riparian vegetation shading impacts (0.9 acres) shall be required provided that mitigation
is shown to be successful by the five year monitoring plan described below; otherwise,
such mitigation shall be provided at the ratio of 2: 1 at the end of the five year monitoring
period.
d. In-kind revegetation/mitigation at a replacement ratio of 1: 1 for all temporary
construction impacts to brackish marsh and riparian vegetation resulting f%rn
construction of haul roads, stockpile and staging areas, work areas extending a maximum
90 feet tirn the outside edge of Macario Canyon Reach 1 bridge, and 1,200 feet
southwest of Reach 1 bridge by revegetating and restoring the impact area to the original
condition before disturbance shall be required. Revegetation will include remedial work

IV. Findings and DeclarationS.
The Commission finds and declares as follows:
The Commission finds and declares as follows:
1. Detailed Develooment DescriDtion and Historv. Completion of Reach 1 of
Cannon Road to construct a 450 foot long bridge over Macario Canyon from its west rim
to its east rim requiring approximately 265,000 cubic yards of fill. The proposed bridge
would have four piers placed in wetland habitat to support the proposed structure. Also
proposed is the construction of Reach 2 from the east rim of Macario Canyon to El
Camino Real, about 1.54 miles. Road construction of the major arterial (104 ft. right-of-
CDP 6-9?- 11
Page 7
way) is proposed to travel northeasterly about 1.5 miles to its intersection with El Camino
Real, an existing major arterial that serves as a portion of the coastal zone boundary
within the City. The arterial will provide two 12-foot lanes in each direction, an l&foot
wide landscaped median, and two g-feet wide bicycle lanes in addition to curb, gutter,
streetlights, signage, drainage facilities, a 5 foot wi& sidewalk and a 4.5 foot wide
parkway. Reach 2 proposes the construction of a bridge over Agua Hedionda Creek at El
Camino’Real. The proposed bridge at El Camino Real would consist of a 130 foot by 90
foot cast-in-place reinforced concrete slab with a ninforced steel bar, two bridge
abutments and two piers. The City p&poses a mitigation plan to mitigate project impacts
to rip&n and brackish marsh impacts.
Cannon Road Reach 2 is the second segment of four segments in the City’s plans to
extend the roadway eastward four miles. Only Reaches 1 and 2 arc within the coastal
zone. Its present improved terminus is at Lego Drive east of and near I-5 in the Carlsbad
Ranch, a multi-use project, including Legoland, on 447 acres located ahout 112 mile from
the ocean between Palomar Airport Road and &non Road.
Design and planning for Cannon Road Reaches I and II were both initiated prior to 1985.
Both private development and public works approaches to constructing the road were
initiated. Due to the economic downturn in the late 1980s and early 1990s. both projects
were postponed and existing approvals expired. Reach I of the Cannon Road alignment
was approved in CDP #S-89-195; however, the permit expired. In CDP M-97-10
(October, 1997). the Commission ap#oved Phase 1 of Reach 1 for the grading of Cannon
Road from its easterly tedus at Lcgo Drive to the westerly bridge abutment at Mactio
Canyon. Phase 2 of Reach 1 includes the construction of the proposed bridge over
Macario Canyon.
Reach 2 of Cannon Road includes construction of the roadway from the eastern rim of
Macario Canyon eastward to El CainindReal.
The alignment of Cannon Road Reach 2 was approved in CDP #6-U-617 in the
Commission’s approval of the Kelly Ranch Master Plan, another mixed use project on
433 acres located east of Agua Hedionda Lagoon. This project was not built but
surcharge grading for Cannon Road was done. The Reach 2 project proposes to finish the
grading ,$at was previously approved which would include the removal of approximately
26,500 cubic yards of surcharge fill resulting in the ultimate construction of the road.
According to the City of Carlsbad, Reach 2 will generally be constructed as approved in
CDP #6-84-617 with two exceptions. A slight modification has been made in the turn
radius of the roadway and the Reach 2 bridge spanning Agua Hedioada Creek near El
Camino Real would be 10 feet wider than originally planned. These changes would result
in an additional .29 acres of impact to coastal sage scrub for the former and .14 acres of
additional impact to rip&an habitat for the latter. Because of these changes and the
uncertain status of build-out of the Kelly Ranch project,‘the road project is being
processed as a new permit. No upstream or downstream construction is proposed beyond
the area impacted by the construction of the bridge spanning Agua Hedionda Creek. No
CDP 6-97-l 1
Page 8
temporary or permanent impacts to the wetlands beyond the construction of the bridge are
proposed.
The development of this area is subject to the certified Agua Hedionda segment Local
Coastal Program Land Use Plan (LUP). The roadway is also contained in the City of
Carisbad LCP Circulation Element as a major road.

estuaries, and lakes appropriate to maintain optimum populations of marine organisms
and for the protection of human health shall be maintained and, where feasible, restored
through, among other means, minimkng adverse effects of waste water discharges and
entrainment, controlling runoff, preventing depletion of ground water supplies and
substantial interference with surface water flow, encouraging waste water reclamation,
maintaining natural vegetation buffer areas that protect riparian habitats, and minimizing
alteration of natural streams. .
Section 30233(a) of the Act states, in part:
(a) The diking, filling, or dredging of open coastal waters, wetlands,
estuaries, and lakes shall be permitted in accordance with other applicable provisions of

In addition, Section 30233(c) of the Act states, in part:
-
(c) In addition to the other provisions of this section, diking, filLing, or
dredging in existing estuaries and wetlands shall maintain or enhance the functional
capacity of the wetland or estuary. Any alteration of coastal wetlands identified by the
Department of Fiih and Game, including, but not limited to, the.19 coastal wetlands
identified in its report entitled, “Acquisition Priorities for the Coastal Wetlands of
California”, shall be limited to very minor incidental public facilities, restorative
measures, nature study, commercial fishing facilities in Bodega Bay, and development in
already developed parts of south San Diego Bay, if otherwise in accordance with this
division.
Section 30240 of the Act states:
IL- (a) Environmentally sensitive habitat areas shall be protected against any
significant disruption of habitat values, and only uses dependent on such resources shall
be allowed within such areas.
(b) Development in areas adjacent to environmentally sensitive habitat
areas and parks and recreation areas shall be sited and designed to prevent impacts which
would significantly degrade such areas, and shall be compatible with the continuance of
such habitat areas.

Agua Hedionda is one of 19 identified “high priority” wetlands in the Coastal Act As
such it is afforded special protection under the Act and the certified Agua Hedionda Land
Use Plan (LUP). As originally submitted by the City in 1978 in the Agua Hedionda LUP
submittal, Cannon Road would have resulted in about 11 acres of wetland fill.
Subsequent to the Commission’s action to deny the initial snbrnittal, a negotiating
committee was formed to address the remaining issues of the Agua HediondaLUP,
including Cannon Road ‘This committee developed a conceptual alignment involving the
least amount of adverse impacts upon lagoon resources which were incorporated into
Agua Hedionda Lagoon Land Use Plan. As stared in the Policy 5.8 of the certified LUP,
the policies regarding the protection of resources in conjunction with the extension of
Cannon Road are as follows:
a) No portion of the road construction shall involve the filling or dredging of
fresh or saltwater marsh wetlands, except as noted in the letter from the Coastal
Commission to the State Department of Fish and Game.
b) To the extent that any portion of the road constmction wonld occur in or
adjacent to an environmentally sensitive habitat area other than an wetland, the road shaIl
be sited and designed to prevent impacts which would significantly degrade such areas,
shall avoid significant disruption of habitat values, and shall be sited and designed to be
compatible with the continuance of habitat values.
c) To the extent that there arc no feasible less environmentally damaging
alternatives and the road as designed would nonetheless result in adverse impacts to
environmentally sensitive hat&at area, such impacts shall he fully mitigated in
accordance with the recommendations of the State Department of Fish and Game.
Cannon Road was also addressed by the Commission in LUP Amendment l-85. It was
envisioned that Cannon road was to span the wetlands in its crossing of Macario Canyon,
and a specific exhibit indicating the span was included in LUP Amendment l-85 as
certified by the Commission.
ln subsequent. permit decisions for Reach 1 (CDP 4%89- 195) and Reach 2 (6-84-617) the
Commission approved the alignment of the road from near I-5 to El Cam@ Real. The
Commission’s action approved two bridge crossings of environmentally sensitive areas,
CDP 6-97- 11

riparian and brackish marsh woodland at Macario Canyon in Reach 1 and the Agua
Hedionda Creek near El Camino Real in Reach 2.
Since the time of the Commission’s original approval for Cannon Road, the listing of a
number of sensitive plants and animals (least Bell’s vireo, California gnatcatcher,
southwestern willow flycatcher, arroyo southwestern toad and Pacific little pocket mouse)
brought into question whether the approved alignment is the least environmentally-
damaging alternative. As a result, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (ACOE) and the
U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) determined that new studies were necessary
regarding the project which resulted in the need for new approvals. Existing approvals
for Reach I and Reach II by the California Department of Fish and Gaa~ (CDFG) and the
Amy Corps of Engineers (ACOE) have expired.
As part of its permit review, the ACOE asked the USFWS to prepare a Biological
Opinion regarding the impact of both Reach I and Reach II on the previously mentioned
endangered species. The Biological Opinion identifies mitigation measures that can be
implemented to mitigate adverse impacts to least Bell’s virco and southwestern willow
flycatchers, both on federal and state endangered species lists, in riparian and wetland
habitat adjacent to Macario Canyon and along the Reach II alignment. None of the
mitigation measures include changing the approved alignment or bridges associated with
either Reach I or Reach II, and no changes to the alignment or bridge designs are
expected to occur as part of the ACOE pen& The CDFG has also indicated that no
change in the alignment or bridge designs of Cannon Road will be recommended in its
new streambed alteration agreement. Other alignments near the proposed alignment were
considered but dismissed because resource and endangered species impacts associated
with those alignments were not significantly less than the proposed alignment. That is,
moving the road’s alignment around impacted a number of environmentally sensitive
plants or animals so that no clearly superior environmentally prefernd alignment
emerged to replace the proposed alignment. Consequently, the resource agencies agree
there are no alternative alignments that are significantly better than the previously
approved alignment with respect to protecting sensitive plants and animals, and the
Commission concurs.
While the Commission can accept the alignment as the least environmentally damaging
alternative on balance, it must also find that project impacts are adequately mitigated. As
noted, the Commission has reviewed Cannon Road previously in two permit decisions.
Regarding its previous review of Reach 1, the Commission accepted wetland and riparian
impacts associated with bridge construction over Macario Canyon. Specifically, direct
brackish marsh impacts for bridge pier construction was 547 sq.ft. (.012 acres), direct
riparian impacts for bridge construction was 1.0 acre and temporary direct impacts for
construction corridor impacts was .33 acres of brackish marsh. In addition, shading
impacts were identified at 0.1 acres to brackish marsh and 0.8 acres to riparian
vegetation. Direct brackish marsh impacts resulting from pier construction were required
to be mitigated at a 4:l ratio or 0.05 acres, direct riparian impacts were required to be
mitigated at a 3: 1 ratio or 3.0 acres. Shading impacts were required to be mitigated at a
CDP 6-97-l 1
Page 11
1: 1 ratio rest&in& 0.1, acres of brackish marsh and 0.8 acres and construction corridor
impacts were required to be mitigated at 1: 1 or .33 acres for a total of 4.28 acres. Of this,
3.95 acres (all the above mitigation except that for temporary direct impacts which
required revegetation only), was required to be wetland creation. Wetland creation is the
creation of new habitat by converting upland to wetland and requires some grading of
uplands to achieve appropriate elevations for the growing of wetland species.
In CDP M-84-617, regarding its review of Reach 2, the Con&&on found the bridge
spanning of Agua Hedionda Creek was found to be the least environmentally damaging
alignment; however the Commission accepted some wetland impacts associated with its
construction. These impacts were not quantified but were associated with bridge
construction and channel improvements within Agua Hcdionda Creek and the
construction of a desiltation basin near Cannon Road’s intersection with EJ Camino Real.
The City indicates impacts associated with Cannon Road Reach 2 as approved in CDP
#6-84-617 have been mitigated. One special condition of CDP #6-84-617 related
exclusively to Cannon Road and was entitled Cannon Road/Wetland
Encroachment/Wetland Restoration. It required that Cannon Road shall be.constructed in
accordance with the alignment identified in Policy 5.8 of the LUP unless a wetlands
restoration plan was followed which included: establishment of wetland habitat or re-
establishment of wetland habitat (areas which have been previously filled or disturbed)
on-site at a minimum ratio of 1: 1.; a map of the mitigation sites showing the areas irh their
present and proposed conditions in conjunction with the above wetland replacement ratio
requirements; erosion control for construction of Cannon Road and the implementation of
approved mitigation programs shall he subject to erosion control requirements contained
in CDP #6-84-617; wetland restoration measures which required wetland restoration and
enhancement plans for various locations within the proposed 186 acm Agua Hedionda
preserve which was required to be put into open space as mitigation for impacts
associated with the Commission’s approval of Kelly Ranch. A mitigation plan was
developed in response to the above provisions and implemented Compliance with these
provisions has been confirmed by the Caiifornia Depanment of Fti and Game
(attached).
Currently, the project proposes the construction of a bridge over Agua Hedionda Creek at
El Cat&o Real that is 10 feet wider than the previous bridge the Commission approved,
which has resulted in some additional impacts. Additionally, a small realignment of the
road has resulted in encroachment into disturbed riparian scrub in an existing d&Ration
basin. Thus, the bridge construction and road improvements wilI result in the permanent
loss of three wetland habitat types: 0.16 acres of southern willow scrub, 0.14 acres of
open water and 0.43 acres disturbed riparian scrub. This totals 0.73 acres of wetland
impact.
The following is a table summary of the comparison of the City’s identified impacts and
proposed mitigation provisions for Reachs 1 and 2 with themquhmeats previousIy
approved by the Coastal Commission in CDPs #684-617 (Reach 2) and #6-89-195
(Reach 1).

The City’s impacts analysis for Reach 1 and Reach 2 identifies that theMacario Canyon
bridge construction will result in the impact of 1.9 acres of wetland through fill and
shading (1 .O acre to fill and 0.9 acre to shading). Approximately 0.68 acres of wetland
will be temporarily lost through construction impacts. This totals 2.58 acres of wetland
impacts. Mitigation of 1: 1 pre-impact is proposed for the wetlands impacted by
construction of the bridge. As noted, Reach 2 impacts arc proposed at 0.73 acres; total
project impacts for both Reach 1 and Reach 2 are proposed at 3.31 acres.
For the.3.3 1 acres of total impacts, until November 1997, the City had proposed a 1: 1
mitigation ratio to be installed and meet performance criteria before any impacts to
wetlands were allowed. In this way impacts had to be mitigated in advance of actual
project construction on the Macatio Canyon bridge. The City’s rationale for mitigation
was to ensure that there was no net loss of wetlands and was accept4 by the resource
agencies provided mitigation was deemed acceptable in advance of impacts @e-impact)
for Reach 1 and Reach 2 impacts. The agreed upon offsite wetland mitigation plan
consists of excavating 3.3 1 acres of existing agricultural lands under City ownership
adjacent to existing wetlands within Macario Canyon. upstream of the Ma&o Canyon
bridge site, for the purpose of restoring wetland hydrology and creating riparian habitat
The riparian mitigation site will include a lOO-foot-wide hand of’upland habitat outside
the 3.3 1 acres and buffer the ripatian and wetland habitats in perpemity. Active park uses
inside the upland buffer would be limited. As noted, this location and design has been
accepted by the resource agencies.
In November 1997, the City proposed a change in plans and now pmposes bridge
construction at Agua Hedionda Creek and construction of a bridge abutment at Macario
Canyon to go forward in advance of developing the main mitigation site in Macario
Canyon. Consequently, the City has amended the mitigation plan that was approved by
the resource agencies as described above. The new mitigation plan’is called the
Concurrent Impact Option and is identified in the preceding tabk. While coucurrent
mitigation is now proposed at two locations outside the main mitigation site (-44 acres
near El Camino Real and 3.02 acres within the proposed 186 Agua Hedionda Resmre)
no mitigation plans have been submitted for the new mitigation sites. In summary, the
resource agencies have agreed to the amended plan and the Biological Opinion is being
amended to reflect this change. However, while the amended mitigation plan is
acceptable to the resource agencies, it is not strictly consistent with past Commission
action and current Commission practices regarding the adequate mitigation of
environmentally sensitive habitats.
The Commission’s previous approval requires that the proposed construction cozridor be
revegetatcd in kind and amount. Although this was not offered as part of the City’s
mitigation package, the City has agreed to rcvegetate the corridor upon completion of the
project to mitigate the temporary impacts associated with bridge construction. Similarly,
the Commission finds that this requirement is necessary to find the project consistent with
the resource protection provisions of the Coastal Act. Also, the Commission is
concerned about the width of the corridor. The Commission desires that the corridor be
CDP 6-97- 11
Page 14
-
- kept to a minimum width which would result in less impacts to sensitive vegetation.
Therefore, the Commission is endorsing only a 90 foot wide corridor at this time.
-
-
Second, there are also differences in the amount of habitat creation between what the
Commission approved and what the City is proposing. The City identies total creation
of habitat in Reaches 1 and 2 at 3.75 acres, an additional 3.02 acres is being proposed as
an in-lieu payment or restoration for a total of 6.77 acres of mitigation. The Commission
approved 3.95 acres as creation in Reach 1 and would typically require 2.19 acres of
creation in Reach 2 (0.73 acres of riparian at 3: 1) for 6.14 acres total. Thus, the City’s
proposal is deficient 2.39 acres with respect to actual creation of habitat for impacts.
As noted, the City’s proposal does not identify 0.05 acres of direct impacts to brackish
marsh for bridge pier construction which was identified by the Commission to be
mitigated at 4: 1. Thus, the City’s proposal proposes no mitigation for this impact. The
City’s mitigation plan proposes the creation of 0.1 acres of brackish marsh to mitigate
shading impacts to sensitive vegetation which will occur when the bridge is built. The
Commission’s decision was that shading impacts he mitigated at a 1: 1 ratio provided that.
revegetation of the area under the bridge is shown to be successful through a 5 year
monitoring plan; othenvise, mitigation shall be provided at a 2: 1 ratio at the end of the
five year monitoring period. The Commission again finds that this provision must be
made part of a revised mitigation plan.
- The City’s proposed funding option acreage would fund the Agua Hedionda Preserve as
envisioned by the California Department of Fiih and Game (DFG). DFG is interested in
administering 186 acres that was dedicated as open space in the Commission’s approval
of the Kelly Ranch Master Plan (#S-84-617). To administer this open space system,
funding and or restoration of existing resources is necessary. In exchange for accepting
project impacts associated with the construction of Cannon Road, DFG is requiring the
3.02 acres mitigation area shall be in the form of restoration of riparian vegetation
(establishment of vire~uality habitat, inciuding a minimum of five years of monitoring,
as well a success criteria and contingency plans) within the entire 186-acre Agua
Hedionda Preserve or other area approved by the Service and California Department of
Fish and Game.
As proposed, the restoration may occur prior to or concurrent with project impacts, a
$114,420.00 per acre ($345,548.00 total, the City of Carlsbad estimate of per acre cost of
wetland creation including grading, installation, irrigation, S-year mitigation monitoring,
and S-year least Bell’s vireo monitoring) may be paid to an endowment fund for the
required restoration of 3.02 acres. Under the latter circumstance, the full amount of these
funds shall be placed in an interest hearing account for the identified restoration efforts.
The habitat restoration and monitoring plans (to include at least 5 years of monitoring,
success criteria and contingency measures) must be reviewed and approved by the
Service. Documentation to demonstrate the establishment of this account shall be ,-- provided to the Service and the California Department of Fish and Game.
CDP 6-97-l 1
Page 15
If, after three years, a suitable owner/manager for the Agua Hediond+ preserve has been
identified, the Service shall provide notice to the permittee that they have 90 days in
which to proceed with the creation program in another area approved by the Service and
the California Department of Fish and Game. At this time, the $345,548.00 would be
transferred to the City to be utibzed for this purpose.
However, the Commission can not support the in-lieu fee proposal. While the
Commission recognizes that the proposal is supported by CDFG as insurance that project
impacts would be mitigated within the proposed Reseme if restoration did not take place,
the Commission has historically required impacts to be mitigated in a timely fashion
through habitat creation or restoration rather than in the form of a payment The payment
option may not be invoked for a number of years and in that time impacts would go
unmitigated. Therefore, the Commission finds that the proposed restoration should occur
at this time concurrent with impacts.
Notwithstanding the above, the City’s mitigation plan has been accepted by the msource
agencies as adequate to compensate for project impacts. The resource agencies state that
the impacts described above would not jeopardize the continued existence of endangered
species because the City has incorporated significant compensation measures including:
1) replacement through revegctation of any riparian and wetland habitat permanently
destroyed by project construction activities at a 1:l area ratio prior to construction, 2)
replacement through revegetation of any rip&n and wetland habitat temporarily
destroyed by project construction activities at a 1:l ratio within the temporary impact
area, 3) the implementation of a cowbird trapping program, 4) the initiation of a pampas
grass removal program, 5) the contribution of $15O,tXIO and any outstanding start-up
costs to fund wildlife management practices in perpetuity within the 18Gacre riparian
habitat area, 6) use of noise barriers on Reach ! bridge to reduce vehicle noise, 7) use of
shields on lights to minim& the “spillover” of light on adjacent riparian habitats, and 8)
construction outside the least Bell’s vireo and southwestern ffycatcher breeding seasons
(March 15 - September 15). In addition, indirect impacts associated with construction
will be reduced by fencing the right-of-way with a drift fence so impacts to adjacent
sensitive habitats do not occur. Supplemental mitigation includes the removal of pampas
grass and cowbird trapping from 28 acres of riparian habitat which will provide
significant enhancement to the quality of the habitat With the exception of the in-lieti fee
payment option, the Commission concurs with the resource agencies, based on the above,
that the proposed mitigation plan will adequately mitigate project impacts.
With respect to Cannon Road impacts, the Agua Hedionda LUP defers to the California
Deparcrnent of Fish and Game in Policy 5.8 by finding that to the extent that there are no
feasible less environmentally damaging alternatives and the road as designed would
nonetheless result in adverse impacts to environmentally sensitive habitat area, such
impacts shall be fully mitigated in accordance with the recommendations of the State
Lkpartment of Fish and Game. Because the CDFG has accepted the mitigation plan as
proposed by the City, the Commission finds that the subject development, absent the in-
lieu fee payment option and as conditioned, is consistent with Section 30233 and the
other resource protection provisions of the Act.
CDP 6-97- 11

Special Condition #l requires that a detailed revised wetland mitigation plan for all
temporary and permanent impacts associated with the proposed project. It shall clearly
delineate alI areas of impact (temporary and permanent) and shall identify the exact
acreage of each impact so identified. Mitigation plans have not been-submitted for the
proposed 0.44 acre site near El Camino Real or the proposed restoration sites in the 186
acre Agua Hedionda Preserve. The condition also requires preparation of the identified
off-site mitigation ama such that the all identified wetland impacts associated with the
proposed development are mitigated, in-kind, at a minimum 3: 1 for all identified direct
impacts to Southern Willow Riparian Scrub and Riparian Scrub, 1: 1 for brackish marsh
and riparian shading impacts if performance standards are met, and revegetation of all
temporary construction impacts at a 1: 1 ratio. The condition also provides that all
identified mitigation sites have executed irrevocable offers to dedicate to a public agency
or private association acceptable to the Executive Director, an easement for habitat
restoration, habitat maintenance, open space and habitat protection over any portion or all
of the above properties.
Special Condition #2 requires a detailed monitoring program including submittal of
evidence of the completion of the mitigation plan(s) addressed in Special Condition #l
above, through submittal of “as built” plans in substantial conformance with the final
plans approved pursuant to Special Condition #3. The program must include monitoring
reports on the extent of coverage, rate of growth and species composition of all created
wetland areas on an annual basis for five years following project completion, provisions
for augmentation and maintenance of the restoration efforts, including specific
performance standards, designed to assure 90% coverage in a five year period, and
include criteria to be used to determine the quality and extent of the revegetation efforts,
which shall include, but not be limited to, survival rates and species composition. At the
end of the five year period, a more detailed report prepared in conjunction with a
qualified wetland biologist shall be subm$ted to the Executive Director. If the report
indicates that the mitigation has been, in part, or in whole, unsuccessful, the applicant
shall be required to submit a revised or supplemental mitigation program to compensate
for those portions of the original program which were not successful.
Special Condition #2 also requires that all recommendations contained in the various
documents that identify the mitigation measun~ and the responses to those
recommendation measures by the resource agencies be followed to mitigate project
impacts. It also requires that the construction corridor at Macario Canyon be minim&d
to assure that project impacts to sensitive resources are kept to a minimum and that these
provisions are identified in final plans.
Because of least Bell’s vireo and Southwestern Flycatcher identified in the project area,
the filling or other development of the riparian area cannot be allowed without additional
protections for these endangered species. Both species have been identitied on the site
and may inhabit the site during any year’s nesting season. For this reason, Special
Condition #4 has been proposed. A survey must be conducted by a qualified biologist to
determine whether vireos are present. If the survey discovers any of the two species,
CDP 6-97- 11
Page 17
construction may hot commence or continue, as appropriate, until the Section 7
consultation process with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is concluded. The condition
would also require mitigation to be reviewed as .an amendment of this permit, if
necessary, consistent with Service specifications and/or Section 7 consultation, should the
species be discovered on-site.
B. Uuland Imnacts. In CDP #6-89-195, the Commission found that although
the placement of fill or other grading would ordinarily not be allowed to occur on the
steeply-sloping, vegetated sides of Macario Canyon, the exemptions from such a
restriction are provided for circulation element roads in the City’s LCP documents. As
such, such impacts could be accepted, if mitigated.
ID response to addressing the proposed upland impacts of the project, the City has
received a Habitat Loss Permit to “take” 2.4 acres-of coastal sage scrub and 3.1 acres of
southern maritime chaparral. The permit was received in response to the CDFG’s Natural
Community Conservation Planning (NCCP) effort. With the approval, DFG has found
the project consistent with the NCCP Conservation Guidelines and the 4(d) rule and, by
extension, the City’s dmft Habitat Management Plan (HMP) whose purpose is to preserve
coastal sage scrub and other sensitive habitats within the City as part of the NCCP
program. In the 4(d) approval, mitigation of 2.4 acres of coastal sage scrub at a 2: 1 ratio
was approved to be mitigated off-site through the purchase of mitigation credits from
Carlsbad Highlands, a mitigation bank Mitigation at a 2:l ratio was approved for
impacts to 3.1 acres of southern maritime chaparral to be mitigated through the purchase
of mitigation credits firorn the Manchester Avenue Co-anon Bank or the purchase of
southern maritime chaparral within the City of Carlsbad. The above identified impacts to
coastal sage scrub and southern maritime chaparral represent the entirety of impacts to
those habitats for both Reaches 1 and 2. The Commission finds that approval of Cannon
Road can be found consistent with the statewide NCCP process and the impacts to
environmentally sensitive habitats, such as coastal sage scrub and southern maritime
chaparraLcan be accepted consistent with Section 30240 of the Coastal Act.
The Commission’s previous action on Reach I required the revegetation of brackish
marsh and riparian resources within the bridge construction corridor of Ma&o Canyon.
Temporary impacts to riparian and brackish marsh vegetation resulting from construction
of haul roads, stockpile and staging areas, and work areas extending on either side of the
Macario Canyon bridge will be mitigated by revegetating and restoring the impact area to
the original condition prior to disturbance. Revegetation will include rented@ work such
as decompaction and surface treatment of the ground and restoration of natural contours
aad be monitored for three years. The Commission fin& it is again appropriate to require
revegetation of those sensitive habitat areas that would be disturbed by construction of
Cannon Road. As noted, the Agua Hedionda LUP allows for resource impacts associated
with construction of Cannon Road as long as they are adequately mitigated, For that
reason, Special Condition #7 requires a revegetation pian be provided that indicates all
disturbed or manufactured steep slope areas shall be rcvegetatcd with native plants
compatible with adjacent natural vegetation to n-establish the area consistent with its
present character.
CDP 6-97- 11

The construction of the roadway and the bridges raise the issues of controlling runoff and
retarding erosion, particularly on the large manufactured slopes associated with the
project. Manufactured slopes of up to 40 feet in height will result from the project’s
implementation. Indirect impacts to riparian and wetland habitat are proposed to be
reduced by fencing the right-of-way with a drift fence to prevent erosion and
sedimentation. To further ensure that project impacts would be mitigated, Speciai
Condition # would require the submittal of a runoff control plan for the areas adjacent to
Macario Canyon, Agua Hedionda Creek and Agua Hedionda Lagoon. The emphasis of
the runoff control plan should be controlling the runoff down the slopes, and should result
in water delivered to the level of the canyon floor in such a fashion that no erosion or
scour should occur as a result of the runoff reaching the canyon floor. This can take the form of energy dissipaters, detention facilities, etc. In addition, Special Condition #5
would require the provision of traps to prevent oils and suspended solids from reaching
the sensitive resources of the canyon floor and downstream lagoon.
Special Condition #6 requires final grading plans in substantial conformance with the
submitted plans, that ail temporary and permanent run off and erosion control devices
shah be developed and installed prior to or concurrent with any on-site grading activities,
and that ah areas disturbed but not completed during the construction period shah be
stabilized. The use of temporary erosion controi mwstres, such as berms, interceptor
ditches, sandbagging, filtered inlets, debris basins, and silt traps shall be utilized in
conjunction with plantings to minimizc soil loss from the construction site.
The project also raises the potent4 for impacts associated with the construction materials
and equipment. Inappropriate access and haul routes, inappropriate storage of equipment,
construction materials or stockpiled soils all could result in damage to coastal sage scrub
and southern maritime chaparral. For this reason, Special Condition #8 has been
proposed. It requires that a plan and construction bid documents identifying all
construction staging sites and haul routes be submitted for the Executive Director’s
review and approval after determinin g that no impacts to sensitive resources will result
beyond those associated with the road construction itself.
Given the attached special conditions, the potential impacts to environmentally sensitive
habitat areas will be reduced to the maximum extent feasible. Therefore, the
Commission finds that the subject permit, as conditioned, is consistent with Sections
3023 1,30240 and 30253 of the Act and the certified Agua Hedionda LUP.

3. Local Coastal Planning. Section 30604 (a) also requires that a coastaI
development permit shall be issued only if the Commission finds that the permitted
development will not prejudice the ability of the local government to prepare a Local
Coastal Program (LCP) in conformity with the provisions of Chapter 3 of the Coastal
Act. As noted above, the project lies in the areas under the jurisdiction of the certified
Agua Hedionda Land Use Plan which was prepared by the City and approved by the
Commission, and which has been subject to several LUP amendments.
CDP 6-97- 1 I
Page 19
The proposal for the construction of the Cannon Road project has been reviewed by the
Commission in several separate formal actions. Fit, the Commission denied
certi&ation of the Agua Hedionda LUP as submitted, based, in part, upon the originally
proposed alignment’s impacts upon the sensitive resources of Agua Hedionda Lagoon. In
response to this denial, a negotiating committee comprised of Commission members, City
offkkls and members of both City and Commission staff was formed to identify a
conceptual alignment for Cannon Road, as well as address other remaining issues
resulting from the denial of the LUP.
Second, the conceptual alignment agreed upon by the negotiating committee was
included in the City’s LUP resubmitted (subsequently certified by the Commission), along
with design criteria and mitigation policies to be applied to the roadway project. The
policies regarding mitigation are inchxled in Policy 5.8 of the certified LUP.
Based on the endorsement of the City’s mitigation plan by the ltsouIce agencies, the
Commission can find the project, as conditioned, will not result in any conflicts with the
certified LUP. Therefore, the Commission finds that the subject development, as
conditioned, is consistent with the certified Agua He&on& LUP and Chapter 3 poiicies.
4. Consistencv with the California Environmental Qualitv Act (CBOA).
Section 13096 of the Commission’s Code of Regulations requires Commission approval
of Coastal Development Permits to be supported by a finding showing the permit, as
conditioned, to be consistent with any applicable requirements of the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). Section 210805(d)(2)(i) of CEQA prohibits a
proposed development from being approved if there are feasible alternativea or feasible
mitigation measures available which would substantially lessen any significant adverse
impact which the activity may have on the environment.
The proposed project has been conditioned in order to be found consistent with the
resource protection policies of the Coastal Act. The attached mitigation measures will
minim& all adverse environmental impacts. As conditioned, there are no feasible
alternatives or feasible mitigation measums available which wouId substantially lessen
any significant adverse impact which the activity may have on the environment.
Therefore, the Commission finds that.the proposed project, as conditioned to mitigate the
identified impacts, is the least environmcntallydamaging feasible alternative and can be
found consistent with the requirements of the Coastal Act to conform to CBQA.

Date : December l9,1997
From : Departmwt of Fish and Game
Subject : Application number 8-84-817; Kelly Ranch: Kaufman & Broad Mitigation
Ms. Sheri Howard of the City of Carlsbad has requested that we provide you
with a summary of the Department’s determination on mitigation success for impacts
to wetlands incurred in 1988-l 986 due to the subject.
We are satisfied with the results of the wetland restoration projects listed
under Section Ill., Special Conditions. 7. a-f. Those areas have been largely
successful,. are functioning as wetlands, and are providing habitat for wildlife. The
desiitation basin identified in Condition 8 has been unsuccessful; but considering the
high quality habitat growing in the former basin which is now supporting the Federally
and State Listed Endangered least Bell’s vireo, the Department believes that efforts
to control sedimentation upstream would be a preferred alternative to reestablishing
the desiltation basin at El Camino Real and Cannon Road.
Thank you for the opportunity to comment on this project. Any questions
regarding this matter should be addressed to Mr. Tim Dillingham, Associate Wrldliie
Biologist, at (619) 4674204.

Subject Cannon Road Bridge Miiation Proposal (CDP# 647-71)
The Depaftment of Fish and Game has been working with the City of Carlsbad
(City), U.S. Fish and VVNdlii Sewice (FWS), and Kelly Ranch PropeWs to develop a
mitigation plan whii Ml assist the DqarbmMinaccompiishingourgoalsinAgua
Hedionda Lagoon (Lagoon). The DepartmeM has fust option on an Inwoca bkOfferto
Dedicate (IOD) over 180 acres of the Lagoon, but we are unabk to aaxqt the land
withoutlocaMgs&starWlfundstomanagethetands. Wamattef6ptingtocreatean
endowment account which will provide the naassaryfundiisource.
The City of Carlsbad and Kelly Ranch Properties aie proposing bo complete
Cannon ,Road adjacent to the 100 parcel and will already be pIacing $120,000 in an
account to provide for cowbird trapping, which will benefit the State and Federaffy-liited
Endangered least BeVs vireo (vireo) by kwering the nest paras&m of the cowbird on
the vireo. This was required by the FWS as part of their Endangered Species Act,
Section 7 consultation for indited imp&B to the vireo. As part of the road construction,
the City and Kelly Ranch Properties will be constructing bridges over Mercario Canyon,
and Agua Hedionda Creek by El Camho Real. In an earlier agreement, the mitigation
fortheseimpa~wastobeinadvanceafconstnrction,with~criteriatobemet
before impacts could occur. This practice alkws for the lwe#ing of mitigation ratios as
the temporal habitat b is avoided, and the&&~ the wildlii has new hab@ befor%
theoldhabitatisbst.
Ho&ever, the City and Kelly Ranch ProperI& ww@ like to mova forward sooner
that they had originally planned and have asked to do mitigation cmcurrent with theii
impacts. Because of this, the Departme@ FVVS, Cii; and KelIy Ranch Properties have
agreed that a ratio- of 3:1 of creation of habitat fix loss of habii is appropriate, whkh
will require a total of 5.19 acres of creation (1.73 acres of impact at 3: 1 ratio).
Unfortunately, there is not available space within the Lagoon 100 area to perform all the mitigation, nor is there suitable area within the remainder of the lagoon to create
this type of habitat The City and Kelly Ranch Properties could go ekewhere in the Pr 9

watershed, but this would likely end with fragmented and not extremely useful habit
being created. It certainly would not be likely to benefit the vifeo within the Lagoon.
Another possibility would be to perform 3:l enhancement for each acre of creation
required under the concurrent mitigation proposal (a total of 9:l for each acre
impacted). Again, there is no available location within the lagoon to fulfill all of this
needed mitigation. Also, this mitigation will be have a five-year maintenance and
monitoring requirement (standard for this type of mitigation), after which the habitat is
on its own again.

The three agencies and Kelly Ranch have developed a third proposal which
would provide for a substantial portion of King term management funding needs of the
Lagoon IO0 area, and likely allow the Department to accept the property. The City
would place an additional $345,548 (St 14,420 per acre for 3.02 sues of required-
mitigation unable to be created in Lagoon IOD ama) in an endowment account, which
would provide for the removal of exotk plants in perpetuity (,not just five years as is
normal), exotic ariimal control and illegal human acbvity control, all of which will protect
the vireo, the primary purpose of the Section 7 consultation. The remaining 2.17 acres
of required mitigation will be created withii Mercario Canyon (1.73 acres) and by
removing a section of Old Cannon Road which will no longer be needed once the new
road is completed and creating wetlands (A4 acres). This will fMll the l No Net LossW
wetlands policy of both the Department and the U.S. Army Coqas of Engineers and will
also connect an isolated patch of wetlands created as mitigation for another project
(Shea Homes).
If the Commission decides not Wallow this mitigation sbategy, which is a new
idea for all of us, the consequences could be that the Deparbnent cannot accept the
Lagoon IO0 property. In discussions with other agencies which could also accept the
property under the 100, all have expressed reluctance because there is no operational
money to pmvide for needed management activitk The IOD is for 21 years, after
which the property reverts to the current landowner, Kelly Ranch Properties, to do with
as they wilj. They do not wish to wait the remaining nine years for the IO0 to expire,
nor does the Department want to allow this important habii to be degraded through
the cngoing impacts caused by invasive vegetation, exotic knimals and destructive

Project Description: To construct Cannon Road West (Reaches 1 & 2) for approximately four
miles from LEG0 Drive to El Camino Real. An unnamed stream in Macario Canyon will be
crossed with a two-span, 454-foot long bridge. A &annelized portion of Agua Hedionda
Creek will be crossed with a N-foot long,by NO-foot wide bridge. The Macario Canyon
Bridge (Reach 1) will impact approximately 1.9 acres of jurisdictional wetlands through fill
and shading. Approximately 0.68 acre of wetlands will be temporarily displaced via
construction impacts. (Therefore, a total of approximately 2.58 acres of impacts will occur at
this location.) At the Agua Hedionda Channel Bridge (Reach 2), approximately 0.74 acre of
jurisdictional wetlands will be displaced. The work is proposed as shown on the attached
drawings. To compensate for the proposed 3.32 acres of jurisdictional impacts (1.74 acres of
permanent, direct, 0.9 acre of indirect, shading, and 0.68 acre of temporary, direct impacts),
4.1 acres of brackish marsh and wetlands will be created in Macario Canyon adjacent to
mixed riparian areas, 1.8 acres of wetlands will be restored in Agua Hedionda Lagoon, and
0.44 acre of wetlands and open water, at the Kelly Ranch access road will be restored.
Project Location: In an unnamed tributary of the Agua Hedionda Lagoon in Macario
Canyon, and in the Agua Hedionda Creek channel, between LEG0 Drive and El Camino
Real, in Carlsbad, San Diego County, California.

of oRe dry season (April 1 through October 1) and must meet agency-approved success
~crikia The criteria shall include meeting 5-year performance standards for growth and
coverage, and must be approved by the Corps, FWS, and CDFG as vireoquality habitat (i.e.,
containing new least Bell’s vireo nesting territories and/or meeting coverage/!&rata
guidelines for least Bell’s vireo). all planting shall have a minimum of 80% survival after the
first year, and 100% survival thereafter, and/or shall attain 75% cover after 3 years and 90%
cover after 5 years for the life of the project. If the survival and cover requirements have not
been met, the permit-tee shall replace plantings as necessary to meet these requirements.

recovery of small vertebrates, and trackway replication.
b. Monitoring of excavation in areas likely to contain paleontologic resources by a
qualified palecmtologic monitor. The monitor should be equipped to salvage fossils as they
are unearthed to avoid construction delays and to remove samples of sediments which are
5
likely to contain the remains of small fossil vertebrates. The monitor must be empowered to
temporarily halt or divert equipment to allow removal of abundant or large specimens.
c. Preparation of recovered specimens to a point of identification, including washing of
sediments to recover small fossil vertebrates.
d. Identification and curation of specimens into a museum repository with retrievable
storage.

Hedionda Lagoon in the City of Carlsbad, County of San Diego. (“Project”). The following species
protected under CESA are known to exist at or in the vicinity of the Project and are thenfore subject
to incidental take by Carl&ad: endangered least Bell’s vireo and endangered southwestern willow
flycatcher. These listed species are collectively referred to in this Permit as “Covered Species”.
In consultation with the Department, C&bad has prepared and submitted a CESA
Environmental Analysis and associated documents (“Environmental Analysis”) for the Project, The
Environmental Analysis describes the Proja identiks Project impacts on Covered Species, contains
life history information about those species, and set forth measures identified by Carlsbad and
Department to: (1) avoid take of Covered Species when avoidance is possible consistent with
Carlsbad’s objectives; (2) minimize take of those species when take cannot be avoided entirely; and (3) fully mitigate anticipated take of the Covered Species and other impacts on Covered Species.

implementation of the attached Environmental Analysis.
PROJECT SUMMARY
The Cannon Road Improvement Project is a four-lane major road connection (1.54 miles x
102 fkt) d Interstate 5 and El Camino Real, impac&g 3.32 acres of stream (2.64 permanently
and 0.68 temporarily), most of which is habitat for the Covered Species. There are also indirect
impacts 6rom vehicle noise and lights once the project becomes operational. The project consists of
Reaches 1 and 2, located on the south side of Agua Haiionda Lagoon in the City of Carlsbad. San
Diego County. Reach 1 includes an approximate 450-foot bridge over Macario Canyon and its
unnamed creek. Reach 2 includes an approximate 13~foot bridge over Agua Hedionda Creek at El
Camino Real. The Project is descrii in greater detail in the Environmmtal Analysis.
DEPARTMENT FINDlNGS
The Department finds and determines that:
0 This Permit only authorizes take that is incidental to an otherwise la&l activity.
l The Project will not jeopardize the continued existence of the Covered Species and
the impacts on the Covered Species will be minimized and ftlly mitigated if Carlsbad
complies with all terms and conditions of this Permit, including the &II and complete
implementation of the EnvironmentaI Analysis.
l This Pumit and the attached Environmental Analysis set forth measures to minimii
and mitiga!e Project impacts that are roughly propofiional in extent to those impacts,
that will maintain Carlsbad’s objectives to the greatest extent possible, and that are
capable,of successfi~l implementation; and
. Carl&ad has ensured adequate thding to implement the measures to minimize and
fblly mitigate impacts to the Covered Species and to monitor compliance with and
effktiventss of those measures.

IMPACT MITIGATION
-
-
Impacts on 1.9 acres of riparian. habitat in the vicinity of the Approximately .9 acre of impacts is due to shading and 1.0 acre is
bridge caused by fill and shading due to filling. Mitigation will
would be significant. consist of the creation of willow
scrub habitat in the vicinity of
the project as required by the resource agencies.
Impacts on wetlands area by sewer The sewer line has been relocated
aligriment must be fully mitigated out of the wetlands in those
(Department of Fish and Game areas where encroachment was shown
Letter). on the original plan.
In addition to the above, the California Coastal Commission submitted a letter which expressed concern over the sewer alignment stating that "by their mere proximity to wetlands would still hold the potential for adverse
impacts to- sensitive resources."
The EIR response to the Coastal Commission is that the EIR does contain an alternative (Alternative C) with the sewer line in the Cannon Road
right-of-way. This alternative requires a higher lift of the sewer along
with associated higher energy costs and pressure. The annual energy and
maintenance costs for the Cannon Road alignment are estimated to be
$400,000.00 more at buildout. The higher pressure associated with the .- Cannon Road alignment would increase the risk of accidental breakdowns and potential impacts to the lagoon. The EIR concludes that the Cannon Road
Lb sewer alignment "offers no significant environmental advantage, but has more potential for adverse effects on the lagoon."
FISCAL IMPACT
-
-
The estimated cost of Cannon Road, Reach 1 is $10,900,000.00 excluding
right-of-way and assessment district financing costs. The Capital
Improvement Program has budgeted $7,642,000.00 in public facilities fees
for this project to be spent at a rate of $750,000.00 per year beginning
in 1991-92. Sandag has approved $3,450,000.00 in Proposition A Highway 78 Corridor Funds for this project. Construction of this project within
the next year contemplates developers advancing the funds. through an
assessment district or other means and being reimbursed at a later date.
The Capital Improvement Program has currently appropriated $621,000.00 for the sewer force main and pump station. Although the Sewer Master Plan
calls for City funding of this project, construction funds are not
. programd into the CIP until after 1998.
