Title: Avoid actions that will stress California Condors
Text: "Special Status Species — California Condor: Nest sites and roost areas within suitable habitat: In areas that contain habitat for California Condors, actions would be avoided or restricted if the area is known or suspected to be used by condors that may cause stress and disturbance to condors. Application of appropriate measures will depend on whether the action is temporary or permanent, and whether it occurs within or outside potential habitat. A temporary action is completed prior to the following important season of use, leaving no permanent structures and resulting in no permanent habitat loss. This would include consideration for habitat functionality. A permanent action continues for more than one season of habitat use, and/or causes a loss of condor habitat function or displaces condors through continued disturbance (i.e. creation of a permanent structure requiring repetitious maintenance, or emits disruptive levels of noise)."
