Julie Vanderweir of USFWS and Sherri Howard of the City of Carlsbad joined the meeting by phone. We discussed the City's amendment request for Macario Canyon and why it was beneficial for both the construction schedule and the resources to start work earlier than the stated September 15 date. An earlier start might allow completion of the bridge prior to the start of next year's bird breeding season, thus avoiding a delay of about 6 months. This would permit the temporary impacts mitigation to be implemented and restored to habitat a full season sooner. There was a general agreement with the proposed amendment, but no guarantees were made regarding an early start date. Resolution was reached on the proposed amendment at the end of August. Least Bell's vireo was still observed occupying the small patch of willows near the El Camino Real Bridge in Reach 2 at month's end. A clapper rail was sighted near Station 99+00 again this month after not seeing one all summer. Noise monitoring was done in Reach 2 on days when any construction activity for Shea Homes took place on the Cannon Road right-of-way. Noise monitoring results showed that noise levels stayed below the permitted 60 dBA leq limit.

In accordance with the project's permit 'conditions, noise restrictions were in force for least Bell's vireo ( Vireo bellii pusillus) and southwestern willow flycatcher (Empidonax traillii extimus). Least Bell's vireos arrived at the site sometime around the middle or latter part of the April and were first detected in Reach 2 by Ogden's biologist, Rick Bailey, on April 25. Least Bell's vireos were heard at two location along the right-of- way at about Stations 99+00 and 108+00. No southwestern willow flycatchers were detected in the Reach 2 survey area. Ogden's acoustical consultant, Rick Tavares of Investigative Science and Engineering (ISE), conducted a noise monitoring field survey to ascertain construction noise levels P,In,d On Ocyclod pap,, Doug Get Biological Ms. Sherri Howard September 8, 1999 Page 2 within the habitat area due to light grading and ancillary activities in Reach 2. The acoustical consultant recommended that grading or other operations close to the habitat boundary utilize equipment with shielded exhaust stacks and that idling of equipment near habitat should be kept to a minimum. During the month of April, construction activities associated with the Cannon Road West Project were primarily concentrated adjacent to El Camino Real at the new bridge site. Activities and equipment observed at this location were primarily affiliated with the fabrication of the Cannon Road and El Camino Real bridge supports. Work during April also included Reach 1 median landscape installation. There was no work performed in Macario Canyon because of noise restrictions for least Bell's vireo and southwestern willow flycatcher. There were approximately 1.65 inches of rain during the month of April, scattered over six storms. Erosion was minimal and erosion control devices performed as intended, keeping any sediment within the project work area.

According to the project's permit conditions, monthly biological monitoring reports must be sent to the USFWS, ACOE, CDFG, and CCC. Construction during December included completing the first phase of the Macario Canyon surcharge, digging a notch for the pier on the west side of Macario Canyon, clearing wetlands to begin work on the Macario Canyon bridge, working on the sewer bypass and starting the surcharge for bridge abutments near El Camino Real, excavating in Reach 2, and installing underground utilities in Reach 1. - Ogden observed several permit condition violations on December 10 and the City of Carlsbad and the contractor took quick corrective action. First, the Macario Canyon wetland was cleared and work started without notifying the biological monitor to supervise the work as required by ACOE Nationwide 404 Permit Special Condition No. 6 and CDFG 601 Streambed Alteration Agreement Condition No: 13.

In placing temporary fill on December 10 to dam the creek, the contractor placed fill beyond the project limits of work at about Station 69+50, burying a small section of silt fence and environmental fence in the process with several yards of soil. This fill was placed in violation of ACOE Nationwide 404 Permit Special Condition No. 4 and CDFG 1601 Streambed Alteration Agreement Condition No 4. This fill was removed by hand labor by the end of the day and no vegetation was damaged in the process. The area in question was under a large willow tree with no understory vegetation present. Finally, Ogden observed a cement truck from Mar Con cleaning out near the creek at about Station 122 to 123. This is in violation of ACOE Nationwide 404 Permit Special Condition No. 21 and CDFG 1601 Streambed Alteration Agreement Conditions No. 29 and 30. The City of Carlsbad has spoken with the contractor about making arrangements for a formal clean out area in an appropriate location. Work continued on the slope associated with the Macario Canyon surcharge fill that requires paleontological monitoring by ACOE Nationwide 404 Permit Special Condition No. 24. This slope requires terracing to key it in with the surcharge fill. This work has been done sporadically as other work progresses. As was the case in November, the project's paleontologist, Fran Govean of Petra Paleontology, found only trace fossils. These do not require collecting, just documentation. The paleontologist will submit her report once her work is completed. There was less than one inch of rain during the month of December, scattered over several storms. No erosion has been observed to date from these light rains and the erosion control measures remain in good condition. Ogden will continue to make periodic biological construction monitoring visits and submit monthly progress reports in accordance with the project's permits.

(Ogden) submits this monthly construction, monitoring report for the Cannon Road West—City Project No. 3184. The project has prmits with the United States Fish'-and Wildlife Service .(USFV S),.Bioiogical Opinion on Cannon Road (Reaches land 2), -U.S. ,Army, Corps of Engineers (ACOE) Permit Application No 97-20130-TCD, City of Carlsbad, California (1-6-97-F-SI); California Department of Fish and Game (CDFG) Section 1601 Streambed Alteration Agreement ,No.. 5-044-97; CDFG California Incidental Take Permit - Permit No. 2081-1998-05-5, and California Coastal Commission (CCC) Coastal Development Permit No. 6-97-11. According to the project's permit conditions, monthly biological monitoring reports must be sent to the USFWS, ACOE, CDFG, and the CCC. This letter is the first monthly construction monitoring report, covering the month of September 1998. Construction work undertaken to date has been concentrated primarily in the surcharge fill area on the east side of Macario Canyon, from approximately Station 68+00 to Station 72+50. The environmental fence was put in place in this area on the northern and southern limits of work boundaries. The project surveyors staked the limit of work prior to vegetation clearing and fence placement. Ogden monitored vegetation clearing and environmental fence placement in late August. The environmental fence was verified as complete in this area on Thursday, August 27, 1998. Once that was done, project construction began. Geotextile fabric was placed on the ground in the surcharge area and enough fill was placed to create a flat working surface for construction equipment. Since that time the contractor has been installing geotextile ick, drains..by drilling vertically through the pad. There have been no impacts outside the permitted work area.4 In September, environmental fence and erosion control fence were 1.also, placed along the northern side of the alignment for Reach H from approximately Station 97+00 to Station 124+00 at El Camino Real Grading for another development is underway concurrently on the southern boundary of Reach II, so environmental fence and erosion control measures are not required on the south side of the alignment in this area. .....
