Buffers and Monitoring Sample Clauses

Buffers and Monitoring. When an active nest is confirmed, the Designated Biologist shall immediately establish a sufficient buffer surrounding the nest based on their best professional judgement and experience that would adequately avoid impacts to said nest. The buffer shall be delineated to ensure that its location is known by all persons working within the vicinity but shall not be marked in such a manner that it attracts predators. Once the buffer is established, the Designated Biologist shall document baseline behavior, stage of reproduction, expected fledge date, and existing site conditions, including vertical and horizontal distances from proposed work areas, visual or acoustic barriers, and existing level of disturbance. The Designated Biologist shall continuously monitor the nest daily during the course of Project activities, and at the onset of any changes in Project activities (e.g., increase in number or type of equipment, change in equipment usage, etc.) to determine the efficacy of the buffer. If the Designated Biologist determines that Project activities may be causing an adverse reaction, the Designated Biologist shall adjust the buffer accordingly.
