    "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.
  • 4.3 Biological Resources

    4.3 Biological Resources

    4.3 BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES DRAFT EIR PINE ACRES NORTH NOVEMBER 2009 4.3 BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES INTRODUCTION The Biological Resources chapter of the EIR evaluates the biological resources known to occur or potentially occur within the Pine Acres North project (proposed project) site. This chapter describes potential impacts to those resources, and identifies measures to eliminate or substantially reduce those impacts to less-than-significant levels. Existing plant communities, wetlands, wildlife habitats, and potential for special-status species and communities are discussed for the project site. The information contained in this analysis is primarily based on a Biological Resources Evaluation Report for Pine Acres North1 prepared by Sycamore Environmental Consultants (See Appendix G), a Jurisdictional Delineation and Special Status Species Evaluation2 prepared by Gibson & Skordal, LLC (See Appendix H), and an Oak Woodland Assessment3 prepared by Ronald P. Monk Consulting (See Appendix I). EXISTING ENVIRONMENTAL SETTING The following sections describe the regional setting of the site, as well as the existing biological resources occurring in the proposed project area. Regional Setting The proposed project site is located in the Sierra Foothills in the western portion of Amador County, approximately one mile southeast of the community of Pine Grove. The proposed site ranges from approximately 2,500 feet to 2,690 feet above mean sea level (MSL) and is located in the Upper Mokelumne watershed. The majority of soils within the project site were formed in material weathered metasedimentary rock and are well drained with medium to very rapid runoff. Project Setting Land uses located within Amador County are primarily agricultural and open space, with residential and commercial areas in existing cities (See Figure 4.3-1).

Location of work: Santa Rosa Plain, Sonoma County, California 2. Background: Burke’s goldfield (Lasthenia burkei), a small, slender annual herb in the sunflower family (Asteraceae), is known only from southern portions of Lake and Mendocino counties and from northeastern Sonoma County. Historically, 39 populations were known from the Santa Rosa Plain, two sites in Lake County, and one site in Mendocino County. The occurrence in Mendocino County is most likely extirpated. From north to south on the Santa Rosa Plain, the species ranges from north of the community of Windsor to east of the city of Sebastopol. The long-term viability of many populations of Burke’s goldfields is particularly problematic due to population decline. There are currently 20 known extant populations, a subset of which were inoculated into pools at constructed sites to mitigate the loss of natural populations in the context of development.

We, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, publish recovery plans, sometimes preparing them with the assistance of recovery teams, contractors, state agencies, Tribal agencies, and other affected and interested parties. Objectives will be attained and any necessary funds made available subject to budgetary and other constraints affecting the parties involved, as well as the need to address other priorities. Costs indicated for action implementation and time of recovery are estimates and subject to change. Recovery plans do not obligate other parties to undertake specific actions, and may not represent the views or the official positions of any individuals or agencies involved in recovery plan formulation, other than the Service.
