1. INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND

WestLand Resources, Inc. (WestLand) has prepared a supplemental special-status species screening analysis to support the Bureau of Land Management’s (BLM) analysis for the Kirkland High Quality Pozzolan Draft Mining and Reclamation Plan (Draft MRPO). Kirkland Mining Company (KMC) is proposing to mine a high quality natural pozzolan (HQP) and remove a stockpile of screened HQP fines from a previous mining operation (the Project) on land administered by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM).

The Draft MRPO proposes future mining and related operations on approximately 88 acres within 160 acres of BLM land and 5 acres of KMC privately-held land1 (the Project). The Project is within portions of Sections 28, 32 and 33 of Township 13 North, Range 4 West, Gila and Salt River Baseline and Meridian (the Project Area).

This special-status species screening analysis is a supplement to the Biological Evaluation (BE) prepared for the Project (EPG 2017). Additional species identified for evaluation are assessed in this document, including species from the BLM Arizona Sensitive Species List for the Phoenix District, species listed by Arizona Game and Fish Department (AGFD) as Species of Greatest Conservation Need (SGCN), and migratory birds with potential to occur within the Project Area.

2. METHODS

Special-status species for the purpose of this report includes:

1. Species listed as sensitive on the BLM 2017 Arizona Sensitive Species List for the Phoenix District (Appendix A); 2. Species listed by AGFD as a Tier 1a or 1b under SGCN2 (Appendix B); 3. Migratory bird species listed by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) that: a. have been identified by the USFWS Arizona Ecological Service Field Office through the unofficial Information, Planning, and Conservation System (IPaC) report (Appendix C)3 b. as having potential to occur within the Project Area, or

1 Privately held lands are located within a portion of Section 29 of Township 13 North, Range 4 West, Gila and Salt River Baseline and Meridian. 2 Tier 1a includes species that have been scored as “vulnerable” by AGFD, and are regulated under one of five additional laws or regulations (AGFD 2018). Tier 1b species have been scored as “vulnerable” by AGFD, but do not match any of the additional criteria required for 1a species. Tier 1c includes species with insufficient information to be evaluated for vulnerability; Tier 1c species were not included in this analysis. 3 The IPaC identifies species that may occur within one or more delineated United States Geological Survey 7.5-minute quadrangles that the Project Area intersects (Appendix C). An unofficial USFWS IPaC report (Appendix C) was used to identify migratory bird species, rather than an official IPaC report, as official IPaC reports only include critical habitat and species listed under the Endangered Species Act (ESA).

WestLand Resources, Inc. 1

c. are identified in Bird Conservation Region (BCR) 33 (Sonoran and Mojave Deserts U.S. portion only) (Appendix D), from the USFWS Birds of Conservation Concern list (2008); and 4. Species listed by the USFWS under the Endangered Species Act (ESA) identified either in the IPaC query (Appendix C) or the BLM Arizona Sensitive Species List for the Phoenix District (Appendix A).

The BLM has identified sensitive species for the Phoenix District in the 2017 BLM Arizona Sensitive Species List (Appendix A). The list includes species within the Phoenix District that meet the BLM-established criteria for sensitivity, as well as federally-listed species listed that have the potential to occur within the district.

The AGFD Heritage Database Management System (HDMS) online environmental review tool query was used to identify SGCN-listed species predicted by AGFD’s HabiMap tool to occur within five miles (eight kilometers [km]) of the Project Area (Appendix B). Additionally, the HDMS query identified special status species recorded within 5 miles of the Project Area. Species that do not meet the parameters of a special status species as defined in this report (for example, U.S.D.A. Forest Service sensitive species) were excluded from analysis.

The complete list of special-status species generated from the above sources was compared to the list of species analyzed in the BE prepared for the Project Area (EPG 2017). Species that had already been analyzed in the BE were excluded from further analysis.

Determinations of the potential for special-status species to occur in the Project Area were based on:

• Field survey observations and habitat assessments of the Project Area; • Review of the natural history and known geographical and elevational ranges of special status species; • Results of an AGFD HDMS online environmental review tool query, which provided records of special status species within 5 miles (8 km) of the Project Area (Appendix B); • Results of an Arizona Breeding Bird Atlas HDMS query of the Kirkland 7.5-minute series USGS Quadrangle (Kirkland Quadrangle), which provides records or suspected occurrences of breeding birds within a 7.5-minute quadrangle (Appendix E). The Project Area occurs entirely within the Kirkland Quadrangle; • Review of other occurrence records in published or grey literature;4 and • Comparisons of this information with the habitats present in the Project Area.

4 Grey literature includes documents that are not controlled by commercial publishers such as technical reports produced by government agencies, academic institutions, scientific research groups, or private industry (e.g., AGFD unpublished species abstracts and maps).

WestLand Resources, Inc. 2

The criteria used to determine the potential of occurrence of each species included in this screening analysis are defined as follows:

Present: The species has been observed to occur in the Project Area based on known records, the Project Area is within the known range of the species, and habitat characteristics required by the species are known to be present.

Possible: The species has not been observed in the Project Area based on known records, but the known, current distribution of the species includes the Project Area and the required habitat characteristics of the species may be present in the Project Area.

Unlikely: The known, current distribution of the species does not include the Project Area, but the distribution of the species is close enough such that the Project Area may be within the dispersal or foraging distance of the species. The habitat characteristics required by the species may be present in the Project Area.

None: The Project Area is outside of the known distribution of the species, and/or the habitat characteristics required by the species are not present.

WestLand biologists conducted a field visit on January 28 and May 24, 2017, to assess the physical and biological environment of the Project Area, which helped inform the evaluation of varying potentials for special-status species to occur in the Project Area and its vicinity. Details provided in the habitat descriptions in the BE (EPG 2017) also helped inform the assessment.

3. RESULTS

In total, 118 special-status species were identified for analysis, 43 of which had been analyzed in the BE (EPG 2017), and were therefore excluded from further analysis. The remaining 74 species were assessed for their potential to occur within the Project Area or its vicinity. No new ESA-listed species or designated or proposed critical habitat were identified that had not been previously analyzed in the BE (EPG 2017).

A total of 18 BLM-sensitive species were analyzed. Of the species assessed, 17 were determined to have no potential to occur within or near the Project Area, and the only one species determined to have a possible potential to occur was the Pima Indian mallow.

A total of 30 SGCN-species were analyzed. Of the species assessed, 11 were determined to have no potential to occur, 7 were determined to have an unlikely potential to occur, and 12 were determined to have a reasonable potential to occur. Those 12 SGCN-species with a reasonable potential to occur include:

• Arizona Bell's vireo • Lincoln's sparrow • Arizona black rattlesnake • Pocketed free-tailed bat • Arizona night lizard • Sonoran desert toad • Common nighthawk • Sonoran whipsnake • Gila spotted whiptail • Savannah sparrow • Gila woodpecker • Yellow warbler

A total of 26 migratory bird species were analyzed. Of those assessed, 16 were determined to have no potential to occur, two were determined to have an unlikely potential to occur, and 8 were determined to have a reasonable potential to occur. Those eight species include:

• Bell's vireo • Gila woodpecker • Bendire's thrasher • Gray vireo • Black-chinned sparrow • Lucy's warbler • Costa’s hummingbird • Prairie falcon

The basis of determination for each species’ potential to occur is provided in Tables 2 through 4. Table 2 includes the analysis of BLM-sensitive species, Table 3 includes the analysis of AGFD SGCN-listed species, and Table 4 includes the analysis of migratory birds.

After the documented geographic range and contains suitable breeding season, this falcon shifts to open wintering areas such as grasslands and habitat (semidesert grasslands and chaparral with cliffs agricultural areas, but does not necessarily fly south. The species can be found nesting in and open areas with short vegetative cover). suitable habitat throughout Arizona, though a significant concentration of records are from the arid Sonoran Desert mountain ranges in the southwestern quarter of the state and from the Colorado Plateau in the northeast corner (Corman and Wise-Gervais 2005). Habitat: In Arizona, this species prefers open areas of desertscrub, desert grassland, chaparral, and creosote bush-bursage habitats (Steenhof 2013). Also found in cold- temperate desertscrub, grasslands, agricultural areas, and sometimes nesting near pinyon pine-juniper and Madrean evergreen oak woodlands. Nest sites have been reported on cliffs and canyon walls in a variety of these open habitats; and can be found at much shorter heights than sites typically used by peregrines. Large, open areas with vegetative cover less than 1-meter tall, and an abundance of prey are preferred for foraging (Corman and Wise-Gervais 2005). When food is plentiful, this raptor travels the least possible distance necessary to secure required food supplies, but have been known to forage up to 15 miles from the nest (Tesky 1994). Seasonal movements reflect responses to changing food availability throughout the year. In Arizona, winters often in desert grassland and creosote bush–bursage habitats (Steenhof 2013).

Adults are typically sedentary, but individuals occasionally are reported in Arizona from points as far west as Quitobaquito Springs in Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument, north to near Coolidge, and east into San Pedro River drainage (Lowther, Groschupf, and Russell 2015). Species is mostly a permanent resident. A few may wander short distances away from breeding areas in fall and winter (National Audubon Society 2016). Habitat: Prefers habitats that combine scattered shrubs and trees from the Sonoran Desert with semi-arid grasslands, typically on flat to gently rolling terrain. Grasses, often including tobosa grass and false grama, are an essential ground cover component. Trees typically include paloverde, velvet mesquite, acacia, desert hackberry, graythorn, ocotillo, prickly pear, and a variety of cholla. Within these habitats, the species is also found along the edges of wooded desert washes, and in small groves of mesquite in and around earthen stock tanks and grassy swales. Encountered locally at the edges of residential areas with interspersed areas of protected, native desert vegetation (Corman and Wise- Gervais 2005). Where the species is present, territories typically include some wash/riparian habitat (dry wash, or along washes that contain flowing water most of the year). These washes are sometimes sloping, with paloverde, mesquite, and brush understory but little grass. Species avoids drier portions of Sonoran desertscrub, where grasses may be scarce or absent. Constructs nests in spiny trees or shrubs (Lowther, Groschupf, and Russell 2015).

Disclaimer:

1. This Environmental Review is based on the project study area that was entered. The report must be updated if the project study area, location, or the type of project changes. 2. This is a preliminary environmental screening tool. It is not a substitute for the potential knowledge gained by having a biologist conduct a field survey of the project area. This review is also not intended to replace environmental consultation (including federal consultation under the Endangered Species Act), land use permitting, or the Departments review of site-specific projects. 3. The Departments Heritage Data Management System (HDMS) data is not intended to include potential distribution of special status species. Arizona is large and diverse with plants, animals, and environmental conditions that are ever changing. Consequently, many areas may contain species that biologists do not know about or species previously noted in a particular area may no longer occur there. HDMS data contains information about species occurrences that have actually been reported to the Department. Not all of Arizona has been surveyed for special status species, and surveys that have been conducted have varied greatlygy in scope p and intensity. y Such surveys y may y reveal previously p undocumented population ofof species ofof specialsps ece iaal concern.coc ncn ern.n 4.

Recommendations Disclaimer:

1. The Department is interested in the conservation of all fish and wildlife resources, including those species listed in this report and those that may have not been documented within the project vicinity as well as other game and nongame wildlife. 2. Recommendations have been made by the Department, under authority of Arizona Revised Statutes Title 5 (Amusements and Sports), 17 (Game and Fish), and 28 (Transportation). 3. Potential impacts to fish and wildlife resources may be minimized or avoided by the recommendations generated from information submitted for your proposed project. These recommendations are preliminary in scope, designed to provide early considerations on all species of wildlife. 4. Making this information directly available does not substitute for the Department's review of project proposals, and should not decrease our opportunity to review and evaluate additional project information and/or new project proposals. 5. Further coordination with the Department requires the submittal of this Environmental Review Report with a cover letter and projectpj plans p or documentation that includes project pj narrative, , acreage to be impacted, how constructionon or projectproject activity(s)activity(s) areare too bebe accomplished,aca complil shed, and projectproject localitylocality informationin (including site map).

Please refer to the Department's Fencing Guidelines located on Wildlife Friendly Guidelines page, which is part of the WIldlife Planning button at https://www.azgfd.com/wildlife/planning/wildlifeguidelines/.

During the planning stages of your project, please consider the local or regional needs of wildlife in regards to movement, connectivity, and access to habitat needs. Loss of this permeability prevents wildlife from accessing resources, finding mates, reduces gene flow, prevents wildlife from re-colonizing areas where local extirpations may have occurred, and ultimately prevents wildlife from contributing to ecosystem functions, such as pollination, seed dispersal, control of prey numbers, and resistance to invasive species. In many cases, streams and washes provide natural movement corridors for wildlife and should be maintained in their natural state. Uplands also support a large diversity of species, and should be contained within important wildlife movement corridors. In addition, maintaining biodiversity and ecosystem functions can be facilitated through improving designs of structures, fences, roadways, and culverts to promote passage for a variety of wildlife. Guidelines for many of these can be found at: https://www.azgfd.com/wildlife/planning/wildlifeguidelines/.

Consider impacts of outdoor lighting on wildlife and develop measures or alternatives that can be taken to increase human safety while minimizing potential impacts to wildlife. Conduct wildlife surveys to determine species within project area, and evaluate proposed activities based on species biology and natural history to determine if artificial lighting may disrupt behavior patterns or habitat use. Use only the minimum amount of light needed for safety. Narrow spectrum bulbs should be used as often as possible to lower the range of species affected by lighting. All lighting should be shielded, canted, or cut to ensure that light reaches only areas needing illumination.

Minimize potential introduction or spread of exotic invasive species. Invasive species can be plants, animals (exotic snails), and other organisms (e.g., microbes), which may cause alteration to ecological functions or compete with or prey upon native species and can cause social impacts (e.g., livestock forage reduction, increase wildfire risk). The terms noxious weed or invasive plants are often used interchangeably. Precautions should be taken to wash all equipment utilized in the project activities before leaving the site. Arizona has noxious weed regulations (Arizona Revised Statutes, Rules R3-4-244 and R3-4-245). See Arizona Department of Agriculture website for restricted plants, https://agriculture.az.gov/. Additionally, the U.S. Department of Agriculture has information regarding pest and invasive plant control methods including: pesticide, herbicide, biological control agents, and mechanical control, http://www.usda.gov/wps/portal/usdahomep .

Vegetation restoration projects (including treatments of invasive or exotic species) should have a completed site- evaluation plan (identifying environmental conditions necessary to re-establish native vegetation), a revegetation plan (species, density, method of establishment), a short and long-term monitoring plan, including adaptive management guidelines to address needs for replacement vegetation.

Avoid/minimize wildlife impacts related to contacting hazardous and other human-made substances in facility water collection/storage basins, evaporation or settling ponds and/or facility storage yards. Design slopes to discourage wading birds and use fencing, netting, hazing or other measures to exclude wildlife.

Endangered species

This resource list is for informational purposes only and does not constitute an analysis of project level impacts.

The primary information used to generate this list is the known or expected range of each species. Additional areas of influence (AOI) for species are also considered. An AOI includes areas outside of the species range if the species could be indirectly affected by activities in that area (e.g., placing a dam upstream of a fish population, even if that fish does not occur at the dam site, may indirectly impact the species by reducing or eliminating water flow downstream). Because species can move, and site conditions can change, the species on this list are not guaranteed to be found on or near the project

1. Species listed under the Endangered Species Act are threatened or endangered; IPaC also shows species that are candidates, or proposed, for listing. See the listing status page for more information. 2.

Probability of Presence Summary

The graphs below provide our best understanding of when birds of concern are most likely to be present in your project area. This information can be used to tailor and schedule your project activities to avoid or minimize impacts to birds.

Probability of Presence ()

https://ecos.fws.gov/ipac/project/DHSAYKEJXVEBRARZOGPSTEQ62Y/resources 4/19/2018 IPaC: Resources Page 8 of 13

Each green bar represents the bird's relative probability of presence in your project's counties during a particular week of the year. (A year is represented as 12 4-week months.) A taller bar indicates a higher probability of species presence. The survey effort (see below) can be used to establish a level of confidence in the presence score. One can have higher confidence in the presence score if the corresponding survey effort is also high.

How is the probability of presence score calculated? The calculation is done in three steps:

1. The probability of presence for each week is calculated as the number of survey events in the week where the species was detected divided by the total number of survey events for that week. For example, if in week 12 there were 20 survey events and the Spotted Towhee was found in 5 of them, the probability of presence of the Spotted Towhee in week 12 is 0.25. 2.

Surveys from only the last 10 years are used in order to ensure delivery of currently relevant information.

Tell me more about conservation measures I can implement to avoid or minimize impacts to migratory birds.

Nationwide Conservation Measures describes measures that can help avoid and minimize impacts to all birds at any location year round. Implementation of these measures is particularly important when birds are most likely to occur in the project area. When birds may be breeding in the area, identifying the locations of any active nests and avoiding their destruction is a very helpful impact minimization measure. To see when birds are most likely to occur and be

Presence Summary and then click on the "Tell me about these graphs" link.

How do I know if a bird is breeding, wintering, migrating or present year-round in my project area?

To see what part of a particular bird's range your project area falls within (i.e. breeding, wintering, migrating or year- round), you may refer to the following resources: The The Cornell Lab of Ornithology All About Birds Bird Guide, or (if you are unsuccessful in locating the bird of interest there), the Cornell Lab of Ornithology Neotropical Birds guide. If a bird entry on your migratory bird species list indicates a breeding season, it is probable that the bird breeds in your project's counties at some point within the timeframe specified. If "Breeds elsewhere" is indicated, then the bird likely does not breed in your project area.

What are the levels of concern for migratory birds?

Migratory birds delivered through IPaC fall into the following distinct categories of concern:

https://ecos.fws.gov/ipac/project/DHSAYKEJXVEBRARZOGPSTEQ62Y/resources 4/19/2018 IPaC: Resources Page 12 of 13

1. "BCC Rangewide" birds are Birds of Conservation Concern (BCC) that are of concern throughout their range anywhere within the USA (including Hawaii, the Pacific Islands, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands); 2. "BCC - BCR" birds are BCCs that are of concern only in particular Bird Conservation Regions (BCRs) in the continental USA; and 3. "Non-BCC - Vulnerable" birds are not BCC species in your project area, but appear on your list either because of the Eagle Act requirements (for eagles) or (for non-eagles) potential susceptibilities in offshore areas from certain types of development or activities (e.g. offshore energy development or longline fishing).

Although it is important to try to avoid and minimize impacts to all birds, efforts should be made, in particular, to avoid and minimize impacts to the birds on this list, especially eagles and BCC species of rangewide concern. For more information on conservation measures you can implement to help avoid and minimize migratory bird impacts and requirements for eagles, please see the FAQs for these topics.
