(NOREAS) is pleased to provide this Biological Technical Report for the Alder Logistical Center Project (hereafter referred to as the “Project”). The Project is located at the north terminus of Alder Avenue, near the Union pacific Rail Road tracks in Fontana, California (Figure 1). This report documents the findings of baseline biological resources surveys and habitat assessments for the Project. The intended use of this document is to disclose and evaluate Project conditions, to determine the potential for occurrence of common and special-status species, and their habitats, within study area limits. For the purposes of this report, the “study area” includes the Project’s proposed ground disturbance footprint (Project Site), and a buffer (Figure 2). Only developed and disturbed land cover types were detected within the study area during pedestrian surveys in 2019. As such, greater than 99% of the study area is comprised of developed, disturbed and/or non-native plant and wildlife habitats. The Project is not collocated with any United States Fish and Wildlife Service designated critical habitat, nor were any special status species detected within the study area during the 2019 field survey events. No nesting birds, remnant raptor nests, or bat guano were detected within the Project Site either. The extent of anthropogenic disturbance within the Project Site and in the region, have substantially decreased the Project Site’s value as suitable breeding, nesting, refuge and foraging habitat for native and special status species as well. The Project Site also has limited – if any, value as a low quality migration corridor - or overland dispersal habitat for wildlife, because the Project is severely movement constrained by surrounding residential and commercial developments, and public infrastructure (i.e., interstate highway, paved roads, rail roads, residential houses, vacant lots, parking and industrial complexes, etc.). Nonetheless, the study area is within the Delhi Sands Flower-loving Fly (Rhaphiomidas terminatus abdominalis [DSF]) Jurupa Recovery Unit. To that end, portions of the Project Site have been mapped by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) Soil Survey as being comprised of Delhi Sand soils. Delhi Sand soils are wind deposited (aeolian), the boundaries established by USDA- NRCS are not exact and change over time. Based on the results of the survey, surface soils present on the Project Site were determined not to contain clean Delhi Sand soils. As a result, the Project Site was determined not to have the potential to provide suitable habitat for DSF and it is assumed that DSF is absent from it. Further – and as detailed to some extent above, the Project Site is surrounded by existing development on all of its sides, and no longer has connectivity to areas containing clean Delhi Sands soils, or locales subject to Aeolian processes. Therefore, development of this Project would not be expected to impact DSF or impede the species recovery as defined by the United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) DSF Recovery Plan (1997). In summary, given the extent of disturbance present, the Project Site lacks the substantive habitat needed to support special status species; and any common species currently using these lands are assumed to be acclimated to the human influenced environment that exists there. Therefore, the permanent habitat loss associated with the Project would be considered an insignificant effect, as a result of the amount of higher value native vegetation communities and land cover types within the region that are already held in conservation (or designated as open space) in San Bernardino County. Page 1-1 General Biological Resources Assessment 2.0 PROJECT AND PROPERTY DESCRIPTION The Project will consist of an approximate 174,780 square foot high cube warehouse which is to include office space and parking in Fontana, California (Figure 1). For the purposes of this report, the “study area” includes the Project’s proposed ground disturbance footprint (Project Site) and a buffer (Figure 2). The Project can be found on the Fontana United States Geological Survey (USGS) 7.5-Minute Topographic Quadrangle Map within San Bernardino Base and Meridian – Township 1 South, Range 5 west, Sections 20 and 21 (USGS 1989). The vast majority of the study area is limited to disturbed and developed land cover types.

    July 11, 2018 Mr. Tal Shoshan, CEO c/o T-Rose Investments, LLC 3880 E. Ebony Ontario, CA 91761 SUBJECT: Results of a Habitat Suitability Evaluation, 2.76-acre Site, City of Rancho Cucamonga, San Bernardino County, California Dear Mr. Shoshan: This letter report presents findings of a reconnaissance-level survey conducted to generally evaluate the suitability of a ±2.76-acre site to support the federally-listed endangered Delhi Sands flower-loving fly (Rhaphiomidas terminatus abdominalis-DSFF). Introduction The subject 2.76-acre site is regionally located in the City of Rancho Cucamonga, San Bernardino County, California (Plate 1). More specifically, the site is located north of 4th Street, east of Hermosa Avenue, west of Center Avenue, and south of Trademark Street; Township 1 South, Range 7 West, Section 14 on the “Guasti” USGS 7.5-minute quadrangle map (Plate 2). Plate 3 provides an aerial photograph of the site. In order to meet the environmental documentation and review requirements, potentially occurring sensitive biological resources must be addressed to demonstrate the applicant’s conformance to California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the federal Endangered Species Act (Act) of 1973, as amended. As such, this report is intended to provide biological information to the applicant and reviewing agencies in support of the environmental review process. Selected Species Overview The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) listed the DSFF as an endangered species on September 23, 1993. This species is only known to occur in association with Delhi sand deposits (FWS 1997), primarily on twelve disjunct sites within a radius of about eight miles in the cities of Colton, Rialto, and Fontana in southwestern San Bernardino and northwestern Riverside counties.

Introduction The study area is regionally located in San Bernardino County, California (Plate 1). Specifically, the project site is located in the City of Fontana (City), generally south of Santa Ana Avenue, east of Juniper Avenue, north of Jurupa Avenue, and west of Sierra Avenue. The site occurs on the “Fontana” USGS 7.5- minute topographic map (Plate 2). The site occurs on the "Fontana" 7.5-minute USGS Quadrangle Map, Township 1 South, Range 5 West, Section 30. Projects proposed in this area that contain potentially suitable habitat to support sensitive biological resources must demonstrate to reviewing agencies that potential project-related impacts to sensitive biological resources are adequately addressed and mitigated pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the federal Endangered Species Act (Act) of 1973, as amended. Accordingly, results of this habitat suitability evaluation are intended to provide the applicant and resource agencies with preliminary biological information required for planning and permitting decisions concerning the proposed project. Due to the inherent limitations of unseasonal or habitat-based data, definitive conclusions regarding the actual presence or absence of certain sensitive biological resources cannot necessarily be made in this report.

    Western Riverside County MSHCP Biological Monitoring Program Arthropod 2018 Pilot Study Protocol

    Arthropod 2018 Pilot Study Protocol Western Riverside County MSHCP Biological Monitoring Program Arthropod 2018 Pilot Study Protocol INTRODUCTION The Western Riverside County Multiple Species Habitat Conservation Plan covers two insect species, one of which is the federally endangered Delhi sands flower-loving fly (Delhi fly, Rhaphiomidas terminatus abdominalis). To date, conservation of the species within the Plan Area has only occurred within the Jurupa Hills Core Area (Teledyne site); therefore, this site must be able to support a healthy population of the Delhi fly. We will collect data regarding the food resources of larval Delhi fly, a stage which may last two years or longer depending on availability of food, temperature, rainfall, and other environmental conditions (USFWS 1997). These data will be coupled with environmental data collected via an on-site HOBO weather station and vegetation surveys to infer the quality of the Delhi sand dunes at Teledyne (Hulton et al. 2013). This survey is designed to provide researchers with information that could be used to improve the Delhi fly’s habitat and resource availability. By randomly placing arthropod pitfall traps across the site, we can collect more specific data on co-occurring arthropod species than the Delhi sands flower-loving fly surveys can provide alone in order to meet the goals and objectives listed below. Goals and Objectives 1. Gather data regarding co-occurring arthropod species within Core Areas. a. Use the data to track the relative abundance and richness of the arthropod community, which the predacious Delhi fly larvae presumably utilize as a food resource (Ken Osborne, consultant, personal communication).
