Volume 1 of the MSP is intended to be an operational document, while Volume 2 contains the functional sections and Volume 3 contains more technical information. Vol. 1 Volume 1 includes an overview of the MSP, approach and rationale for Overview & categorizing and prioritizing species and vegetation communities and for Approach developing management goals and objectives, characterization of the MSPA, MUs, and threats/stressors, and a description of databases and the implementation process. Vol. 2 Goals & Volume 2 includes regional and MU goals and objectives for species and Objectives vegetation communities, the prioritized timeline for implementation, and management goals and objectives for regional threat and stressor management. Vol. 3 Volume 3 contains the supporting documents that are part of and/or were used to Supporting develop the MSP. These include species profiles, additional methodological Documents details and definitions, and the implementation plan format. 1.1 GUIDE TO VOLUME 3 The sections included in Volume 3 provide supporting documents for the MSP. Section 1.0 provides the introduction and guide to Volume 3. Section 2.0 provides Species Profiles for MSP species that were used to develop goals and objectives. Section 3.0 includes a list and links to available best management practices (BMPs) for use in implementing the MSP management objectives. Section 4.0 includes the Implementation Plan (IP) format. Section 5.0 includes MSP detailed definitions. At the end of Volume 3 is Appendix 3A which includes the References for all three volumes. This same appendix is included in Volumes 1 and 2. Vol. 3, P. 1-1 Management Strategic Plan, Version 08.27.2013 Section 2.0 Species Profiles 2.1. Overview See Vol. 1, Section 2.4 for additional information on species profiles. Species profiles were developed for Orcutt’s spineflower, short-leaved dudleya, southwestern pond turtle, western burrowing owl, San Diego ambrosia, golden eagle, coastal cactus wren, sticky dudleya, small-leaved rose, coastal California gnatcatcher, and southern mule deer. Additional species will be added in future versions of the MSP. Vol. 3, P. 2-1 Volume 3, Section 2.0 2.2.

Special considerations: This species is considered to have reduced potential for recovery given that there are few populations, little remaining suitable habitat and a high risk of threats2. BMPs have been developed by the U.S. Navy to effectively expand populations and to establish new populations5,6.Recommendations are to eliminate non-native invasive plants and duff from areas with suitable habitat to see if there may be re-emergence of this species in new locations, given that seeds are likely to be long-lived1,5,6. Before seed supplementation is used for restoration, invasive non-native plants should be managed for at least two years of suitable growing conditions to determine if there are viable seeds remaining in soil.

ACTION: Notice of review. SUMMARY: In this candidate notice of review (CNOR), we, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service), present an updated list of plant and animal species that we regard as candidates for or have proposed for addition to the Lists of Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants under the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended. Identification of candidate species can assist environmental planning efforts by providing advance notice of potential listings, and by allowing landowners and resource managers to alleviate threats and thereby possibly remove the need to list species as endangered or threatened. Even if we subsequently list a candidate species, the early notice provided here could result in more options for species management and recovery by prompting earlier candidate conservation measures to alleviate threats to the species. This document also includes our findings on resubmitted petitions and describes our 1 progress in revising the Lists of Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants (Lists) during the period October 1, 2016, through September 30, 2018.

This biology letter report also includes a discussion of any potential biological resources that may be subject to regulation under the City of Chula Vista Multiple Species Conservation Program (MSCP) Subarea Plan (Subarea Plan) (City of Chula Vista 2003). Project Location The property (i.e., on-site; Assessor’s Parcel Number 644-040-01-00) occupies 9.79 acres and is located approximately 0.2 miles east of Interstate 805 between Main Street and Olympic Parkway (Figure 1, Project Location). The project also includes an off-site impact area of 0.22 acre located along the southeastern corner of the site where future utility connections may occur, making the total study area acreage for the project 10.01 acres. The site is located on Shinohara Lane accessed from Brandywine Avenue and is located on the U.S. Geological Service 7.5-minute series topographic Imperial Beach quadrangle map. The site exists within an urban portion of the City and is bound on the south and east by industrial buildings, to the west by single-family residences, and to the north by multi-family condominiums (Figure 2, Aerial Image).

    Appendix B INDIVIDUAL BIOLOGICAL ASSESSMENT REPORT Site Name/Facility: Montezuma Channel Master Program Map No.: Map 66 Date: April 24, 2018 Biologist Name/Cell Phone No.: Tommy Molioo (714) 514-7744; Julie Stout (858) 213-3065 Instructions: This form must be completed for each storm water facility identified in the Annual Maintenance Needs Assessment report and prior to commencing any maintenance activity on the facility. The Existing Conditions information shall be collected prior to preparing of the Individual Maintenance Plan (IMP) to assist in developing the IMP. The remaining sections shall be completed after the IMP has been prepared. Attach additional sheets as needed. EXISTING CONDITIONS The City of San Diego (City) has developed the Master Storm Water System Maintenance Program (Master Maintenance Program, MMP; City 2011a) to govern channel operation and maintenance activities in an efficient, economic, environmentally, and aesthetically acceptable manner to provide flood control for the protection of life and property. This document provides a summary of the Individual Biological Assessment (IBA) for proposed maintenance activities within the Montezuma Channel Map 66 (as shown in Figure 1). The IBA is prepared to comply with the MMP’s Programmatic Environmental Impact Report (PEIR; City 2011b). Map numbers correspond to those contained in the MMP. The IBA procedures under the MMP provide the guidelines for a site-specific inspection of the proposed maintenance activity site including access routes (i.e., loading areas), and temporary spoils storage and staging areas. A qualified biologist determines whether or not sensitive biological resources could be affected by the proposed maintenance and potential ways to avoid impacts in accordance with the measures identified in the Mitigation, Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP; Attachment A) of the PEIR and the MMP protocols.
