  • "National List of Vascular Plant Species That Occur in Wetlands: 1996 National Summary."
    Intro 1996 National List of Vascular Plant Species That Occur in Wetlands The Fish and Wildlife Service has prepared a National List of Vascular Plant Species That Occur in Wetlands: 1996 National Summary (1996 National List). The 1996 National List is a draft revision of the National List of Plant Species That Occur in Wetlands: 1988 National Summary (Reed 1988) (1988 National List). The 1996 National List is provided to encourage additional public review and comments on the draft regional wetland indicator assignments. The 1996 National List reflects a significant amount of new information that has become available since 1988 on the wetland affinity of vascular plants. This new information has resulted from the extensive use of the 1988 National List in the field by individuals involved in wetland and other resource inventories, wetland identification and delineation, and wetland research. Interim Regional Interagency Review Panel (Regional Panel) changes in indicator status as well as additions and deletions to the 1988 National List were documented in Regional supplements. The National List was originally developed as an appendix to the Classification of Wetlands and Deepwater Habitats of the United States (Cowardin et al.1979) to aid in the consistent application of this classification system for wetlands in the field.. The 1996 National List also was developed to aid in determining the presence of hydrophytic vegetation in the Clean Water Act Section 404 wetland regulatory program and in the implementation of the swampbuster provisions of the Food Security Act. While not required by law or regulation, the Fish and Wildlife Service is making the 1996 National List available for review and comment.

    TECHNICAL MEMORANDUM GLENN LUKOS ASSOCIATES Regulatory Services PROJECT NUMBER: 03650025CLAY TO: Hardy Strozier, The Planning Associates FROM: Jason Fitzgibbon, Biologist DATE: May 25, 2014 SUBJECT: Update to Biological Constraints Analysis for the 1,400-Acre Alberhill Villages Specific Plan Site Located in Lake Elsinore, Riverside County, California. On March 24, and May 12, 2014, updated focused plant surveys and general biological surveys were conducted at the approximately 1,420-acre Alberhill Villages Specific Plan (site), in the City of Lake Elsinore, Riverside County, California. Firstly, the purpose of this update was to verify existing biological resources on-site as identified during surveys conducted by Glenn Lukos Associates (GLA) biologists in 2008. Secondly, updated focused plant surveys, general biological surveys, and habitat assessments for sensitive species were conducted to identify and address the potential for the project to impact any sensitive species that may not have been addressed in the 2008 GLA Biological Constraints report. SUMMARY In general, relatively few changes were noted at the approximately 1,420-acre site. The majority of the site is still being actively mined and as a result is primarily comprised of ruderal, non- native vegetation, or recently disturbed ground. Significant changes in vegetation/land cover types at the site included the recent removal of a large area of non-native eucalyptus (Eucalyptus sp.) woodland along the northern margin of the site adjacent to Temescal Creek Road, the establishment of a few isolated patches of Riversidean sage scrub within the active mine footprint, and the growth of willow riparian forest along the perimeter of multiple water quality basins.

  • Appendices I Through VIII
    APPENDIX I: Standards for Ecological Classification A given terrestrial ecological system is defined as a group of plant community types that tend to co-occur within landscapes with similar ecological processes, substrates, and/or environmental gradients. A given terrestrial ecological system will typically manifest itself in a landscape at intermediate geographic scales of 10s to 1,000s of hectares and persist for 50 or more years. Ecological processes include natural disturbances such as fire and flooding. Substrates may include a variety of soil surface and bedrock features, such as shallow soils, alkaline parent materials, sandy/gravelling soils, or peatlands. Finally, environmental gradients include hydrologically defined patterns in coastal zones, arid grassland or desert areas, or montane, alpine or subalpine zones defined by climate. By plant community type, we mean a vegetation classification unit at the association or alliance level of the US National Vegetation Classification (US-NVC) (Grossman et al. 1998, Jennings et al. 2003, NatureServe 2004), or, if these are not available, other comparable vegetation units. US-NVC associations are used wherever possible to describe the component biotic communities of each terrestrial system. Ecological systems are defined using both spatial and temporal criteria that influence the grouping of associations. Associations that consistently co-occur on the landscape therefore define biotic components of each ecological system type. Our approach to ecological systems definition using US-NVC associations is similar to the biotope or habitat approach used, for example, by the EUNIS habitat classification, which explicitly links meso-scale habitat units to European Vegetation Survey alliance units (Rodwell et al. 2002).
