AI Contract Overview

The California Department of Fish and Wildlife is establishing a Right of Entry Permit with the San Diego Zoo Wildlife Alliance to conduct habitat enhancement and restoration for the Quino Checkerspot Butterfly within the Otay Mountain Ecological Reserve. Project activities include installing barbless wire fencing, signage, and gates, as well as the collection and redistribution of host and nectar plant seeds. Additionally, the project involves restoring soil biocrusts and removing nonnative plants through manual treatments and herbicide application. Work is expected to take place within the January 2025 Border 2 fire footprint, with specific locations determined by expert habitat assessments. To protect the species, restoration will occur outside the active season for the butterfly, and all survey work will adhere to state and federal permit requirements. Access to restoration sites will be limited to foot travel via existing roads and trails to avoid impacting native vegetation, and no take of the butterfly is anticipated.

[PROJECT TITLE CONTINUED]: Alliance). CDFW is in the process of executing a Right of Entry Permit to the San Diego Zoo Wildlife Alliance (SDZWA) for habitat enhancement and restoration activities on the CDFW-owned Otay Mountain Ecological Reserve.

Activities are anticipated to occur within the January 2025 Border 2 fire footprint, with the exact location to be finalized based on habitat assessments that will be completed by individuals with the requisite experience surveying for QCB and necessary state and federal permits.

Restoration sites will be accessed on foot using existing roads and trails and impacts to native vegetation will be avoided. No take of QCB is anticipated.
