Nev. Admin. Code § 527.290 - Project plan
1. The project plan
submitted with an application for a permit must contain:
(a) A topographic map of the area of the
project and any off-site mitigation activities that identifies:
(1) The boundaries of the area of the
proposed project;
(2) The ownership
of the surface rights of the land within the project area;
(3) The plants on the list of fully protected
species of native flora, designated by species, within the project
area;
(4) The existing habitat of
all plants, designated by species, on the list of fully protected species of
native flora within the project area;
(5) All other vegetation by
community;
(6) Existing soils to
the extent the information is available;
(7) The areas to be affected by the project
in sufficient detail so that the areas can be located from the ground;
and
(8) The existing artificially
created features and disturbances, including, without limitation, surface
facilities, wells, roads, drainage ways, fill material and fencing.
(b) An estimate of the number of
acres or square feet of plants on the list of fully protected species of native
flora and the habitat of such plants that are affected by each type of
artificially created feature and disturbance.
(c) A statement describing the predisturbance
and postdisturbance use of the land within the project area.
(d) A statement describing the best
management practices and measures that will be used to minimize soil erosion
and negative impacts to the surface and air during implementation of the
proposed project plan and mitigation activities.
(e) A plan for mitigation activities that
includes, without limitation:
(1)
Consideration of the predisturbance and postdisturbance use of the land within
the project area.
(2) Assessment of
the technical and economic practicability of the proposed techniques for
mitigation activities.
(3)
Assessment of the effectiveness of the proposed mitigation
activities.
(4) Assessment of the
annual precipitation, soils, topography, potential for erosion and other
natural factors affecting proposed mitigation activities.
(5) Assessment of the potential for
degradation, fragmentation and extirpation of any plant on the list of fully
protected species of native flora resulting from implementation of the
project.
(6) The specific
mitigation activities proposed to mitigate and minimize the taking of a plant
on the list of fully protected species of native flora, including, without
limitation:
(I) A plan for the management of
topsoil and growth medium.
(II) A
plan for transplantation or regeneration, including, without limitation,
details concerning methodologies, locations, schedules, monitoring and
reporting.
(III) A plan for site
protection, including, without limitation, signs and fencing.
(IV) A plan for educating employees,
contractors and subcontractors.
(V)
The research and monitoring activities that will be conducted.
(VI) Other strategies to be employed,
including, without limitation, a conservation easement, a land exchange or an
agreement with the State Forester for a management area.
2. As used in this
section:
(a) "Growth medium" means a material
that is capable of supporting vegetation.
(b) "Topsoil" means the material at or near
the surface of the earth that has been modified and acted upon by natural,
physical, chemical or biological agents in a manner which will allow it to
support revegetation.
