Pursuant to your request, this letter serves as a proposed scope of work and budget
estimate for Sierra Ecotone Solutions to provide a nesting bird pre -construction survey
for work to be performed on the Rocky Point I Pipeline Project.
Scope
Sierra Ecotone Solutions (Garth Alling) will complete the following tasks:
Ta�k_j — Preconstruction Nest iq,1;J1ird Survey — Visual surveys to determine the presence
of nesting birds will be performed within the project area including habitat immediately
adjacent to the proposed projects. Survey areas will be recorded and any identified nest
locations will be recorded and marked in the field. All nesting bird surveys will be
performed within 14 days prior to commencement of construction activities. If an active
nest is found close enough to the construction area to be disturbed by the proposed
projects and associated activities, the extent of a construction -free buffer zone will be
established and maintained around the nest. The buffer shall be maintained until the
biologist determines the nest is no longer active.
Task 2 - Reporting: — Sierra Ecotone Solutions will report the results in memorandum
format to STPUD. Survey data, GPS files, and summary notes will be provided to
STPUD within 48 hours of completion. If sensitive species are noted, an active migratory
bird nest identified, the CDFW and/or USFWS will be notified if necessary.
