However, the records earch did <br />identify occurrences of California rareplants rank I B species within a 3 -utile radius of the Project <br />site (southern.tarplant, Coulter's goldfields, mud nama,:and San Bernardino aster).' Although <br />these species are unlikely to occu`ron the Project site, there potential to occur on the Project site <br />citmot be ruled' out because these plants occur in disturbed ltnbitats: In addition; the Certified GTR <br />identifled the potential for burrowing owls to occur on the Project site. Finally; the.Certified EIR <br />identified the potential for raptors'tc;utilize the Project site asf'oriagiiig habitat. The Revised <br />Project would'aoniply with Mitigation Measure BIO -I in4lia Certified EIR,which requires <br />I construction surreys for burrowing owls. In.addition, a biological snldy, including a site <br />sm-VTY,.would be conducted for the Revised Project to identify any species with the'potential to <br />occur on theProject site. It is anticipated that any impacts to candidate, sensitive, or, special status <br />species would be'mitigated to a less than significant level, The Certified EIR also concludeci that <br />impacts to special -status species would be reduced to's less than significant level kith <br />implementntion of Mitigation Measure BIO -l. Therefore, tte Revised Project would not result in <br />«; <br />nesignificridt impacts beyond those_' identified in the Certified "EIR.
