Engineering and Environmental Consultants Red Gap Ranch February 14, 2014 Biological Resource Evaluation Page 1 1. BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES WestLand Resources Inc. (WestLand) was contracted by Southwest Ground-water Consultants, Inc. (SGC) to conduct a Biological Resource Evaluation (BRE) at the City of Flagstaff’s Red Gap Ranch (RGR) in support of the RGR Water Resources Environmental Assessment. To provide future municipal water supplies, the City of Flagstaff proposes to construct pumping infrastructure and associated features at RGR (the Project), which currently include maintenance and upgrades of existing water production wells and unpaved access roads, construction of an onsite water treatment facility, a pumping facility, secondary pipelines from the water production wells to the treatment and pumping facilities, and onsite power distribution. This evaluation does not include offsite water transmission lines and appurtenant facilities to transport water from RGR to Flagstaff. The area broadly referred to as the RGR encompasses approximately 25,000 acres in southeast Coconino County, Arizona, and is located approximately 40 miles east of Flagstaff and 15 miles northwest of Winslow, and immediately north of U.S. Interstate 40 (Figure 1; the Project Area). It encompasses portions of Sections 4-6, Township 19 North, Range 14 East; portions of Sections 1-3 and 12, Township 20 North, Range 12 East; portions of Sections 1-3 and 10-14, Township 20 North, Range 12 ½ East; portions of Sections 7-30 and 33-36, Township 20 North, Range 13 East; and portions of Sections 4-9, 16-21, and 28- 34, Township 20 North, Range 14 East; Gila and Salt River Meridian, Coconino County Arizona. The Project Area is composed of approximately 8,500 acres of deeded private land and approximately 16,500 acres of Arizona State Trust Lands (Figure 2). Of the 8,500 acres of private lands in the Project Area, all are managed by the City of Flagstaff (the City). Land ownership immediately surrounding most of the Project Area includes a checkerboard of private and State Trust Lands, with the northern boundary adjacent to the lands of the Navajo Nation (see Figure 2). The Mormon Lake Ranger District of the Coconino National Forest occurs to the west and southwest of the Project Area at a distance of approximately 10 and 12 miles, respectively. The proposed Project currently anticipates that some federal funding for construction will be provided by the Bureau of Reclamation (BOR). In addition, construction and operation of the Project and offsite transmission facilities will likely require federal permits. As such, the BOR has determined the Project, as well as the proposed transmission pipeline to bring water from the Project Area to the City, are major federal actions requiring the disclosure of effects under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) prior to funding and initiation of construction activities. This evaluation has been prepared to provide baseline information regarding biological resources and potential effects that may result from Project construction. The analysis presented here does not address construction of the water transmission line from RGR to Flagstaff or potential effects of water well operation at RGR. The objectives of the BRE are: (1) a description of the existing physical environment and biological resources within the Project Area, (2) a screening analysis to determine which of the sensitive species identified by the BOR (collectively, Species of Concern) have the potential to occur within the Project Area, and (3) to determine the potential effects of the construction of the Project on extant biological resources within the Project Area. Q:\Jobs\1800's\1822.01\ENV\2015 1209 Revision to COF\RGR BE_021414(rev).docx WestLand Resources, Inc. Engineering and Environmental Consultants Red Gap Ranch February 14, 2014 Biological Resource Evaluation Page 2 The BRE is presented in five sections: 1. Background and Objectives 2. Existing Environment and Biological Resources 3. Screening Analysis for Species of Concern 4. Environmental Consequences 5. Literature Cited 2. EXISTING ENVIRONMENT AND BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES 2.1. APPROACH WestLand accessed available reference material and resources and visited the Project Area during September 23-26, 2013 for the purpose of characterizing and describing habitats found within the Project Area to inform this analysis. Prior to the September site visit, WestLand reviewed aerial photography (National Agriculture Imagery Program 2013), U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) topographic maps (Canyon Diablo, Meteor Crater, Tucker Mesa, Tucker Mesa NE, Tucker Mesa NW, and Tucker Mesa SW USGS 7.5' Quadrangles), and the National Wetlands Inventory mapper (USFWS 2013a) to preliminarily identify potential unique habitats for inspection during the site visit. In particular, this research was intended to identify known or visible aquatic features such as springs and seeps, riparian areas, wetlands, earthen stock tanks, and cave or mine features. Additional resources and references reviewed included the Arizona Game and Fish Department’s (AGFD) Habimap data viewer and Heritage Data Management System (HDMS). Research prior to fieldwork also involved the preparation of a preliminary summary table of the potential habitat requirements of sensitive species identified by the BOR for consideration in this BRE. These species, collectively referred to as Species of Concern, are listed in Section 3. WestLand used the preliminary summary table during the site visit to facilitate review of landscape features, vegetation communities, and soil types within the Project Area to target for assessment of the potential to occur for these species.

TAXONOMIC UNIQUENESS: The variety treleasei is 1 of 2 in the species Agave schottii; the other is var. schottii. In North America, the species schottii is 1 of 34 in the genus Agave. There are more than 200 species recognized from the southern USA to northern South America, and throughout the Caribbean. The variety treleasei is very rare and poorly known. In the Santa Catalina Mountains, it is possibly a polyploid form of schottii, or another case of hybridization between A. chrysantha or A. palmeri and A. schottii var. schottii (Hodgson 1987 Pers. Comm.). Formerly, a population in the Ajo Mountains was thought to be a disjunct population of var. treleasi, but through genetic testing, it was determined to be of hybrid origin between Agave s.

  • Xenosaurus Tzacualtipantecus. the Zacualtipán Knob-Scaled Lizard Is Endemic to the Sierra Madre Oriental of Eastern Mexico
    Xenosaurus tzacualtipantecus. The Zacualtipán knob-scaled lizard is endemic to the Sierra Madre Oriental of eastern Mexico. This medium-large lizard (female holotype measures 188 mm in total length) is known only from the vicinity of the type locality in eastern Hidalgo, at an elevation of 1,900 m in pine-oak forest, and a nearby locality at 2,000 m in northern Veracruz (Woolrich- Piña and Smith 2012). Xenosaurus tzacualtipantecus is thought to belong to the northern clade of the genus, which also contains X. newmanorum and X. platyceps (Bhullar 2011). As with its congeners, X. tzacualtipantecus is an inhabitant of crevices in limestone rocks. This species consumes beetles and lepidopteran larvae and gives birth to living young. The habitat of this lizard in the vicinity of the type locality is being deforested, and people in nearby towns have created an open garbage dump in this area. We determined its EVS as 17, in the middle of the high vulnerability category (see text for explanation), and its status by the IUCN and SEMAR- NAT presently are undetermined. This newly described endemic species is one of nine known species in the monogeneric family Xenosauridae, which is endemic to northern Mesoamerica (Mexico from Tamaulipas to Chiapas and into the montane portions of Alta Verapaz, Guatemala). All but one of these nine species is endemic to Mexico.

  • Sensitive Plant Species
    SENSITIVE PLANT SPECIES Barneby Woody Aster (Aster kingii var. barnebyana) Barneby’s woody aster is a member of the sunflower family (Asteraceae) and it grows from a well-developed taproot. There are persistent blackish or dark brown, old leaf bases at the base of the plant. The stems are short (3-12 cm long) and the herbage is covered with glandular hairs. The leaves are basal, 0.8-12 cm long, and oblanceolate to spatulate in shape with 1-10 pronounced teeth. Flowers occur in clusters of 1-5, standing 8-11 mm high. The inner bracts are often purplish and at least the outer tips are bent backward. The ray flowers are white, often fading to pale pink. This plant flowers between August and September. This species is found in mountain mahogany and oak communities on rock outcrops composed of Precambian quartzite. This endemic species of the Canyon Mountains in Millard and Juab Counties, Utah has been reported in 15 element occurrence records as of 2002 (Madsen 2002). These scattered occurrences indicate a total population of 600+ plants. The range of elevation is between 7,500 and 9640. Major associated species are Holodiscus dumosus (Mountain spray), Huechera rubescens (Red alumroot), Symphoricarpos oreophilus (Mountain snowberry), Quercus gambelii (Gambel’s oak), and Eriogonum brevicaule (Shortstem buckwheat) (Franklin 1990). To date there are 15 known occurrences of this species on the Fillmore Ranger District of the Fishlake National Forest (Franklin 1990). Plants are harbored from threats such as livestock grazing by their occurrence on steep rock outcrops. 40 Bicknell milkvetch (Astragalus consobrinus) The Bicknell milkvetch is a member of the pea family (Fabaceae).
