Monitor distribution and abundance of target species as well as associated exotic and native species. Prepare California Natural Diversity Database reports to share rare species data with State Agencies for the protection of those resources. Implement minimization measures to reduce the potential for \u201ctake\u201d of federally listed species per ESA Section 7 consultations. Provide recommendations for habitat improvement to benefit federally listed or other sensitive species. Conduct pre-activity or pre-construction surveys, and monitoring per INRMPs and BOs. Implement habitat improvement measures as requested, such as local invasive species control, erosion control, replanting, reseeding, and relocation. Promptly report \u201ctake\u201d of listed species to PWE and the FHL\/PRFTA Police Department. Collect and maintain biological data per INRMP and installation SOPs. Refer to and maintain working drafts of
