• Duration of sighting or times of
multiple sightings of the same
individual
8. Reporting:
(a) CALTRANS shall submit a draft
monitoring report within 90 days after
completion of the dismantling work or
the expiration of the IHA (if issued),
whichever comes earlier. This report
would detail the monitoring protocol,
summarize the data recorded during
monitoring, and estimate the number of
marine mammals that may have been
harassed.
(b) NMFS will have an opportunity to
provide comments within 30 days after
receiving the draft report. If NMFS has
comments, CALTRANS shall address
the comments and submit a final report
to NMFS within 30 days.
(c) If NMFS does not provide
comments within 30 days after receiving
the report, the draft report is considered
to be final.
(d) In the unanticipated event that the
dismantling activities clearly cause the
take of a marine mammal in a manner
prohibited by this Authorization (if
issued), such as an injury, serious
injury, or mortality, CALTRANS shall
immediately cease all operations and
immediately report the incident to the
Chief, Permits and Conservation
Division, Office of Protected Resources,
NMFS, and the West Coast Regional
Stranding Coordinators. The report must
include the following information:
(i) Time, date, and location (latitude/
longitude) of the incident;
(ii) Description of the incident;
(iii) Status of all sound source use in
the 24 hours preceding the incident;
(iv) Environmental conditions (e.g.,
wind speed and direction, sea state,
cloud cover, visibility, and water
depth);
(v) Description of marine mammal
observations in the 24 hours preceding
the incident;
(vi) Species identification or
description of the animal(s) involved;
(vii) The fate of the animal(s); and
(viii) Photographs or video footage of
the animal (if equipment is available).
Activities shall not resume until
NMFS is able to review the
circumstances of the prohibited take.
NMFS shall work with CALTRANS to
determine what is necessary to
minimize the likelihood of further
prohibited take and ensure MMPA
compliance. CALTRANS may not
resume their activities until notified by
NMFS via letter, email, or telephone.
(e) In the event that CALTRANS
discovers an injured or dead marine
mammal, and the lead MMO determines
that the cause of the injury or death is
unknown and the death is relatively

Jkt 241001
recent (i.e., in less than a moderate state
of decomposition as described in the
next paragraph), CALTRANS will
immediately report the incident to the
Chief, Permits and Conservation
Division, Office of Protected Resources,
NMFS, and the West Coast Regional
Stranding Coordinators. The report must
include the same information identified
above. Activities may continue while
NMFS reviews the circumstances of the
incident. NMFS will work with
CALTRANS to determine whether
modifications in the activities are
appropriate.
(f) In the event that CALTRANS
discovers an injured or dead marine
mammal, and the lead MMO determines
that the injury or death is not associated
with or related to the activities
authorized in the IHA (e.g., previously
wounded animal, carcass with moderate
to advanced decomposition, or
scavenger damage), CALTRANS shall
report the incident to the Chief, Permits
and Conservation Division, Office of
Protected Resources, NMFS, and the
West Coast Regional Stranding
Coordinators, within 24 hours of the
discovery. CALTRANS shall provide
photographs or video footage (if
available) or other documentation of the
stranded animal sighting to NMFS and
the Marine Mammal Stranding Network.
CALTRANS can continue its operations
under such a case.
9. Marine Mammal Stranding Plan:
A marine mammal stranding plan
shall be prepared in cooperation with
the local NMFS-designated marine
mammal stranding, rescue, and
rehabilitation center. Elements of that
plan would include the following:
(a) The stranding crew shall prepare
treatment areas at the NMFS-designated
facility for cetaceans or pinnipeds that
may be injured from the implosion.
Preparation shall include equipment to
treat lung injuries, auditory testing
equipment, dry and wet caged areas to
hold animals, and operating rooms if
surgical procedures are necessary.
Equipment to conduct auditory
brainstem response hearing testing
would be available to determine if any
inner ear threshold shifts (TTS or PTS)
have occurred.
(b) A stranding crew and a
veterinarian shall be on call near the
implosion event sites at the time of the
implosion to quickly recover any
injured marine mammals, provide
emergency veterinary care, stabilize the
animal’s condition, and transport
individuals to the NMFS-designated
facility. If an injured or dead animal is
found, NMFS (both the regional office
and headquarters) shall be notified
immediately even if the animal appears
PO 00000
Frm 00038
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703

to be sick or injured from other than
blasting.
(c) Post-implosion surveys shall be
conducted immediately after the event
and over the following three days to
determine if there are any injured or
dead marine mammals in the area.
(d) Any veterinarian procedures,
euthanasia, rehabilitation decisions and
time of release or disposition of the
animal shall be at the discretion of the
NMFS-designated facility staff and the
veterinarians treating the animals. Any
necropsies to determine if the injuries or
death of an animal was the result of the
blast or other anthropogenic or natural
causes will be conducted at the NMFSdesignated facility by the stranding crew
and veterinarians. The results shall be
communicated to both CALTRANS and
to NMFS as soon as possible with a
written report within a month.
10. This Authorization may be
modified, suspended or withdrawn if
the holder fails to abide by the
conditions prescribed herein or if the
authorized taking is having more than a
negligible impact on the species or stock
of affected marine mammals, or if there
is an unmitigable adverse impact on the
availability of such species or stocks for
subsistence uses.
11. A copy of this Authorization must
be in the possession of each contractor
who performs the controlled implosion
work for Piers E6 through E18 and
associated Test Blasts.
