9 EMROP: Waihi North Project WAI-985-000-PLN-LC-0001_Rev0 clean Authority. The LMP should be prepared by a suitably qualified herpetologist with a Department of Conservation (DOC) Wildlife Authority and provide (but not be limited to): a. details of search methods and effort to be implemented for capturing arboreal and ground-dwelling lizards prior to any construction activities within the project footprint, including type of search, and search effort; b. appropriate mechanisms for re-establishing lizard habitat including suitable shrubland or rock pile habitat; c. locations and land-ownership approvals (if required) for the potential release of lizards, including provision of a detailed pest control programme to be initiated before the release of lizards; 6. A Bat Management Plan (BMP) should be prepared prior to any vegetation removal (including exotic pines) at GOP, NRS and TSF3. The BMP should be prepared by a suitably experienced and qualified ecologist, and detail a surey methodology for determining presence or absence of bat roosting within affected vegetation, and protocols for ensuring that no vegetation is removed that supports an active bat roost. Where bats are detected during that survey, the BMP shall detail the steps to be undertaken to protect bats including tree felling protocols, bat capture and release, and habitat enhancement measures for suitably mitigating loss of roost habitat, as appropriate.
