PROJECT IMPACTS. Existing fish or wildlife resources the project could substantially adversely affect include: Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha), coho salmon (O. kisutch), steelhead (O. mykiss), Foothill Yellow-legged Frog (Rana boylii), other amphibians, reptiles, aquatic invertebrates, mammals, birds, and other aquatic and riparian species. The adverse effects the project could have on the fish or wildlife resources identified above include direct and/or incidental take of species protected under the California Endangered Species Act, mortality contributing to local decline or extirpation of California species of special concern, impeded up- and/or down-stream migration of aquatic species, damage to spawning and/or rearing habitats and potential cumulative impacts.

PROJECT IMPACTS. The Contractor shall develop a refined impact analysis for the proposed project. The Contractor shall conduct a more detailed assessment of the current state of the transportation challenge this solution is addressing in the community(ies) being targeted as it relates to the final NYCTP proposal. The Contractor shall further detail the anticipated impacts and benefits of the proposed project.

PROJECT IMPACTS. Existing fish or wildlife resources the project could substantially adversely affect within and downstream of the project area without implementation of the conditions contained within this Agreement include: Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha), coho salmon (O. kisutch), steelhead trout (O. mykiss), Southern Torrent Salamander (Rhyacotriton variegatus), other game and non-game fishes, other amphibians and reptiles, aquatic invertebrates, mammals, birds, and other aquatic and riparian species.
