Nest Survey Reports, Nest Buffer Reduction Requests, and Approvals

SDG&E conducts nesting bird surveys and implements protective measures to avoid and mitigate project-related impacts to nesting birds during the avian nesting season as specified in the MMCRP. The specified buffers from nesting birds may be reduced on a case-by-case basis in accordance with Mitigation Measure Biology-7 if, based on compelling biological or ecological reasoning, a CPUC-, USFWS-, and CDFW-approved qualified biologist determines that implementation of a specified smaller buffer distance will still avoid nest abandonment and failure. The CPUC’s independent biologist reviews SDG&E's requests to reduce standard buffers or for temporary buffer incursions. The nest survey reports, nest buffer reduction requests (NBRRs), and approvals can be viewed below.
