(C) Precautions and all reasonable mitigation measures that shall be taken in areas within or adjoining the site to minimize any adverse impacts of such actions or modifications on endangered, threatened or special concern plant or animal species listed by federal and state governmental agencies and critical habitats that are in compliance with federal and state recommended standards and guidelines, as amended;

(D) Plans for modification and rehabilitation of surface, drainage and other hydro-logic features;
