Our license will contain an abundance of biomonitoring, and we'll need to re-monitor burned areas prior to construction start to validate flora and fauna presence. We are particularly interested in seeing where the listed Mariposa Lily pops up after the winter rains, as that species' seed germination is fire-enhanced. Will keep you posted.
