Floral and Faunal Compendium 2. Field Notes 3. Video Clip of Site (Provided in Electronic Format Only In lieu of 35 mm Slides) Executive Summary This memorandum is being transmitted to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) in compliance with survey and associated reporting requirements specified in USFWS Recovery Permit TE218630 (Recovery Permit) issued to Irena Mendez. • The El Segundo Blue butterfly (Euphilotes battoides allyni) (ESB) was determined to be present at the Ballona Wetlands Ecological Preserve as a result of presence/absence surveys conducted on June 27, 2013. • Surveys were conducted during the 2013 flight season by for the purposes of enhancing its survival in the wild, thus recommendations are proposed in support of on-going habitat restoration efforts. • Surveys were conducted between June 27 and August 27, 2013 on a weekly basis (with two exceptions—due to scheduling conflicts, weekly surveys were missed in the weeks of July 14th and August 18th) pursuant to the survey method described in Section 5 (b) of the USFWS recovery permit. A total of 199 butterflies were observed as a result of presence/absence surveys along an established survey route.

Due to lack of surveys for invertebrates in general, it is impossible for me to fully evaluate the impacts to the insects. It is my opinion that the proposed project will attract insects to the bright lights created by the focused mirrors, and kill or wound them when they enter into the intense radiation. The attraction and loss of so many insects could create an ecological cascade effect on the landscape that affects many other local species including plants that rely on flying insects for pollination and animals that rely on insects for food. The proposed project in itself as well as in conjunction with other cumulative projects will further imperil already rare species driving them closer to extinction and may result in the need for additional species to be safeguarded under the Endangered Species Act protection.

  • Terrestrial Arthropod Species
    Biological assessment of the greater Ballona Wetlands region: Terrestrial Arthropod species Ruch Mattoni April 12, 1991 To keep every cog and wheel is the first precaution of intelligent tinkering -Aldo Leopold INTRODUCTION The following report summarizes findings regarding the terrestrial Arthropod populations of the Playa Vista project area. The study was primarily designed to quantitatively assay two sets of species: those easily identified visually along a regulAr transect and those collected in pitfall taps situated to sample the major communities of areas most representative of historic conditions. The latter were all located in area B. Groups sampled included insects, arachnids, isopods, millipedes, and centipedes. A section is devoted to background information and discussion of all species of special interest, as efforts were made to survey their status. A comprehensive summary is presented of the total arthropod collections of Nagano (1981) and•this study with comparative information from the nearby El Segundo sand dune system and coastal prairie at LAX. Historical perspectives The greater Ballona wetlands region was composed of five distinct communities: tidal salt marsh, freshwater marsh, riparian, coastal dune scrub, and coastal sage scrub. The first four communities are all highly degraded today with the entire ecosystem essentially collapsed. This assessment is inferred from the quantitative loss of species among all groups of organisms for which adequate documentation exists. The loss of native species is exacerbated by increases in alien species. Across much of the area alien plants and animals together approach 100% of the total biomass. A map of extrapolated historic community distributions, figure 1, presents one concept superimposed over the 1894 Geological survey quadrangle.

  • Critique of Otay Mesa SRP EIR CEQA Compliance Section 4.1.2.1 Ostensibly Discusses Alternative Project Sites Capable of Achievin
    Critique of Otay Mesa SRP EIR CEQA compliance Section 4.1.2.1 ostensibly discusses alternative project sites capable of achieving the project goals. Unfortunately, this section of the EIR does not identify any specific alternative location(s) and contains no specific discussion of impacts associated with alternative project locations. Instead, this section dismissively concludes that any such locations would likely have the same sort of environmental impacts. This does not meet the CEQA requirement to provide sufficient specific information to permit a reviewer to objectively assess the impacts associated with specific alternative locations and to compare those impacts with those identified for the proposed preferred project location. The key here is that CEQA requires that an EIR identify environmental impacts of a project and those of a range of reasonable alternatives. Absent such information, no objective comparison is possible and the EIR needs to be amended and resubmitted for public review to correct this deficiency. Just as the environmental impacts of the various onsite alternatives are similar, but vary in specific impacts to resident biological resources, so would alternative project locations have their own unique suites of environmental impacts. Furthermore, there is no indication that the project objectives could not be achieved, substantially or entirely, by considering an alternative project location removed from the biologically sensitive Otay Mesa area. Here it is notable that CEQA requires consideration of project alternatives unconstrained by cost considerations. The goal is to identify an environmentally superior project alternative. In this instance, because impacts to sensitive biological resources are scattered throughout the project site, the best alternative may be that which has the smallest footprint (Alternative G), an unidentified alternative location, or no project at all.

CONVERSATION SAVING THE BLUE BUTTERFLY In 1976, prospects for the El Segundo blue buttery were so dire that the insect was placed on the endangered species list. Since then, community organizations and individuals have worked on restoring the buttery’s habitat in coastal dunes. But although preservation eorts have produced results, the blue buttery’s survival remains a concern. S H A R E T H I S S T O R Y facebook twitter email share A little-known natural treasure found just minutes from the LMU More About Blue Butteries campus is the El Segundo blue buttery.
