A TRUE COPY CERTIFICATION ON LAST PAGE RYAN L. BUTLER, CLERK 32) Avoid heavy equipment operation (except for prescribed burning and related activities) within 330 feet of active, known and visibly apparent Little Blue and Tricolored Heron rookeries (two or more nests) from February through May. 33) Locate concentrated heavy equipment operations (e.g. log decks, landings, main skid trails, ramps, etc.) away from known and visibly apparent active burrows, and especially known concentrations of active burrows. If concentrated heavy equipment operations must be located in such areas: a) identify and mark burrows, b) avoid damage to the burrow opening, and c) avoid damage to the gopher tortoise burrow apron during the nesting season (May through September). Advise heavy equipment operators to avoid direct contact year-round with all known and visibly apparent gopher tortoises and burrowing owls, as well as known and visibly apparent burrow aprons for tortoises during the period between May and September. When practical, minimize the use of heavy equipment during September and October when gopher tortoise hatchlings are more numerous and less visible due to their size during this time. 34) Maintain habitat features by carrying out activity on forest lands, such as harvesting (including thinning), site preparation, burning, etc. 35) Utilities should be located before construction and coordination with local utility companies may need to occur. If planned outages are necessary, utility customers should be given advanced notice. 36) Construction noise levels shall be minimized by ensuring that construction equipment is equipped with a recommended muffler in good working order. Impact to noise levels would be minimized by limiting construction activities that occur to between 7 a.m. and 5 p.m. 37) No open burning would occur. All vegetative debris associated with the project must be disposed of properly and not placed in identified floodway or wetland areas. 38) Prepare a vegetation maintenance plan that outlines vegetation maintenance activities and schedules so that direct bird impacts do not occur. 39) Standard construction traffic control measures should be used to protect workers, residents, and the travelling public. 40) Work areas should be clearly marked with appropriate signage and secured against unauthorized entry. 41) Workers should use appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and follow applicable Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) standards and procedures. 42) Construction vehicles and equipment used for this project shall be maintained in good working order to minimize pollutant emissions. E) Programmatic: 1) A change in the scope of work must be approved by the Division and FEMA in advance regardless of the budget implications. 2) The Sub -Recipient must notify the Division as soon as significant developments become known, such as delays or adverse conditions that might raise costs or delay completion, or favorable conditions allowing lower costs or earlier completion. 3) The Sub -Recipient must "obtain prior written approval for any budget revision which would result in a need for additional funds" [44 CFR 13(c)], from the Division and FEMA. 4) Project is approved with the condition that the enclosed list of deliverables shall be submitted 30 days prior to the Period of Performance date, for review and approval by the Division, for submittal to FEMA for closeout. 5) Any extension of the Period of Performance shall be submitted to FEMA 60 days prior to the expiration date. Therefore, any request for a Period of Performance Extension shall be in writing and submitted,
