DESERT TORTOISE

SoCalGas L3000 Post ILI Segment Replacement

San Bernardino County, CA

Conducted pre-construction surveys, flagged all desert tortoise burrows, excavated burrows and moved desert tortoises if the project activities are likely to affect them. If a desert tortoise was moved, it was moved into appropriate habitat adjacent to the project site, but not more than 1,000 feet if it is an adult or 300 feet if it is a juvenile or hatchling.

Removed any desert tortoise that was threatened to a nearby location in accordance with protocol set forth by USFWS (USFWS 2009).
