Document Description
The Project includes re-grading the median cross slopes from the existing 6: 1 or steeper gradients to 10: 1 or flatter gradients. The Project will result in permanent impacts to 24 7 acres of Agassiz's desert tortoise (Gopherus agassizil) habitat. The Project is expected to result in incidental take of Agassiz's Desert Tortoise, which is designated as a threatened species under the California Endangered Species Act. The ITP referenced above as issued by CDFW authorizes incidental take of species listed under CESA that may occur as a result of Project implementation.
