  • Revised and Recirculated) Biological Resources
    Section 4..2 (Revised and Recirculated) Biological Resources Note to reader: The County of San Bernardino has previously circulated for public review and comment the March 25, 2010, Draft Environmental Impact Report on the proposed Deep Creek project. Since the close of the public comment period for that DEIR, the County has made changes to Section 4.2, Biological Resources, of the DEIR. This revised Section 4.2 supersedes and replaces Section 4.2, Biological Resources, which was included in the March 25, 2010, DEIR. The County has elected to recirculate the revised Section 4.2 for public review and comment. Pursuant to Section 15088.5(c) of the CEQA Guidelines (California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Chapter 3), only Section 4.2 of the DEIR is being recirculated. Pursuant to Section 15088.5(f)(2) of the CEQA Guidelines, the County (i) is requesting that reviewers limit their comments to the revised Section 4.2, (ii) will respond to previously submitted comments on all portions of the previously circulated DEIR, except those made with respect to the now-superseded Section 4.2, and (iii) will respond to comments made during the recirculation period to the revised Section 4.2. Additionally, certain issues have previously been adjudicated, such as the evaluation and mitigation of potential impacts to the California desert tortoise and Mohave ground squirrel, and ultimately may be determined by the courts not to be subject to additional judicial review. 4.2 BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES This section evaluates the potential impacts on biological resources resulting from the implementation of the project.

An analysis was made of which floral elements particular plant taxa belonged to, as well as an analysis of the life forms. In the vegetation cover of this area plants of the Eurasian floral element as well as European plants represent the major propor- tion. This shows that in the phytogeographical aspect this area belongs to the Eurosiberian- Northamerican region. According to life forms, vascular plants are distributed in the following numbers: H=650, T=355, G=148, P=209, Ch=70, Hy=33.

  • Native Or Suitable Plants City of Mccall
    Native or Suitable Plants City of McCall The following list of plants is presented to assist the developer, business owner, or homeowner in selecting plants for landscaping. The list is by no means complete, but is a recommended selection of plants which are either native or have been successfully introduced to our area. Successful landscaping, however, requires much more than just the selection of plants. Unless you have some experience, it is suggested than you employ the services of a trained or otherwise experienced landscaper, arborist, or forester. For best results it is recommended that careful consideration be made in purchasing the plants from the local nurseries (i.e. Cascade, McCall, and New Meadows). Plants brought in from the Treasure Valley may not survive our local weather conditions, microsites, and higher elevations. Timing can also be a serious consideration as the plants may have already broken dormancy and can be damaged by our late frosts. Appendix B SELECTED IDAHO NATIVE PLANTS SUITABLE FOR VALLEY COUNTY GROWING CONDITIONS Trees & Shrubs Acer circinatum (Vine Maple). Shrub or small tree 15-20' tall, Pacific Northwest native. Bright scarlet-orange fall foliage. Excellent ornamental. Alnus incana (Mountain Alder). A large shrub, useful for mid to high elevation riparian plantings. Good plant for stream bank shelter and stabilization. Nitrogen fixing root system. Alnus sinuata (Sitka Alder). A shrub, 6-1 5' tall. Grows well on moist slopes or stream banks. Excellent shrub for erosion control and riparian restoration. Nitrogen fixing root system. Amelanchier alnifolia (Serviceberry). One of the earlier shrubs to blossom out in the spring.

  • Coreopsis, Commonly Called Tickseed, Belongs in the 'Happy-Go-Lucky
    Coreopsis Belongs in Every Garden Coreopsis, commonly called tickseed, belongs in the ‘happy-go-lucky’ family of flowering perennials. They will grow in almost any kind of soil and will survive in spite of common gardening mistakes including watering too much, forgetting to water enough, and being sited in less than optimal light conditions. If asked, they would tell you they would prefer to be planted in fertile, well-drained soil in full sun to light shade. There are species of Coreopsis available from six inches to six feet tall. Most bloom in summer with lots of cheerful yellow daisy-like flowers. They attract birds and butterflies, but are not palatable to deer. Mouse ear Coreopsis (C. auriculata) is loaded with brilliant golden-orange blooms in May and June and continues to bloom sporadically until frost. These 6 to 9” tall plants spread by seed without being invasive. Plant them at the front of a border. Coreopsis ‘Jethro Tull’ grows 12 to 15” tall and 18” wide. Plant a swath of them in full to part sun, and it will set your landscape ablaze with large, yellow, uniquely fluted flowers from June to July. If yellow is not your favorite color, choose Coreopsis rosea ‘Heaven’s Gate’. Brilliant pink flowers with darker centers and a tiny yellow eye blanket 18 to 24” tall plants all summer. Threadleaf Coreopsis (C. verticillata) is an outstanding species. They are airy, mounding plants with very fine, dark green foliage. They bloom longer than other species beginning in early June and continuing into September. They are not only longer lived, but also easier to maintain.

  • BROADLEAF TICKSEED Scientific Name: Coreopsis Latifolia Michaux
    Common Name: BROADLEAF TICKSEED Scientific Name: Coreopsis latifolia Michaux Other Commonly Used Names: Previously Used Scientific Names: Leiodon latifolius (Michaux) Shuttleworth Family: Asteraceae/Compositae (aster) Rarity Ranks: G3/S1 State Legal Status: Rare Federal Legal Status: none Federal Wetland Status: none Description: Perennial herb with unbranched stems up to 5 feet tall (1.5 meters). Leaves 4 - 8 inches (10 - 20 cm) long and 2 - 4 inches (5 - 10 cm) wide, mostly opposite, broadly oval with pointed tips and tapering bases, smooth except for a few hairs on the lower surface, margins toothed, with leaf stalks up to 1 inch long. Flower heads about 1½ inches (4 cm) wide and less than ½ inch (1 cm) high, with two series of bracts underneath: outer bracts 5 per head, narrowly oblong, spreading or curved backwards; inner bracts erect, not overlapping, broadly oblong, usually longer than the outer bracts. Ray flowers 4 - 5 per head, up to inch (2 cm) long, yellow, with pointed tips; 1 or 2 rays may be underdeveloped, giving the head a lopsided look. Disk flowers 10 - 18 per head, yellow or orange. Fruit less than inch (7 - 9 mm) long, seed-like, flattened, ribbed, and without wings. Similar Species: Broadleaf tickseed is distinguished from other tickseeds by the broad, toothed, opposite leaves. It also resembles several sunflowers (such as Helianthus divaricatus, H. microcephalus, and H. decapetalus) but differs in having 2 different types of bracts beneath the head. Related Rare Species: See floodplain tickseed (Coreopsis integrifolia) on this web site. Habitat: Moist hardwood forests in mountain coves, usually in canopy gaps, near openings, or along trails and forest roads.
