specifically with a 5:1 replacement of oak trees and manzanita and revegetation with an appropriate mix of native seeds and plants. If the environmental monitor deems that the width of the disturbance is excessive, work shall cease until it can be determined what the appropriate width should be. AT&T has indicated that the width of disturbance should not exceed 40 feet (12 m) at crossings and in areas of difficult terrain, and would average 30 feet (9 m)along the majority of the line. In areas of sensitive vegetation, it is possible to reduce the width of disturbance to 10 feet (3 m) depending on terrain conditions. b. SLO Junction to 1) In areas of coastal scrub and Arroyo de la Cruz manzanita, the route shall follow existing roads or trails as closely as possible to reduce vegetation removal. Revegetation shall be with fast growing herbs and shall include shrubs native to the local coastal scrub community. 2) In areas of chaparral, construction shall follow the existing road, and disturb the vegetation along the side as little as possible. c. to Los Osos Creek 1) The existing road west of Clark Valley Road shall be followed where feasible to avoid the oaks and shrubs. 2) All manzanitas along the route shall be flagged and avoided where possible.
