N. To protect any seabirds (Hawaiian petrels and Newell's shearwaters) in the vicinity of the property, the Applicant shall install shielded outdoor lights to direct light downwards. Additionally,the Applicant shall install automatic motion sensor switches and controls on all outdoor lights or turn off lights when human activity is not occurring in the lighted area. Finally,the Applicant shall avoid nighttime construction during the seabird fledging period, September 15 through December 15. O. To avoid and minimize potential project impacts to the endangered Hawaiian goose (Nene) the Applicant shall implement the following applicable measures: Do not approach, feed, or disturb Nene. If this species is present during construction activities, all activities within 100 feet should cease, and the bird should not be approached. Have a biologist familiar with the nesting behavior of Nene survey for nests in and around the project area prior to the resumption of any work. Repeat surveys after any subsequent delay of work of three or more days (during which the birds may attempt to nest). Cease all work immediately and contact the US Fish and Wildlife Service for further guidance if a nest is discovered within a radius of 150 feet of proposed work, or a previously undiscovered nest is found within said radius after work begins. In areas where Nene are known to be present, post and implement reduced speed limits, and inform project personnel and contractors about the presence of endangered species on-site. P. To protect the 'I'iwi, the Applicant shall avoid conducting activities within the forest bird habitat that: 1) Promote the spread or survival of invasive species; 2) Increase mosquito populations or stagnant water habitat; 3) Increase wildfire threat to montane forest habitats; and 4) Remove tree cover during the peak breeding season between January I and June 30. -6-
