March 23, 2020 Gene Broussard AMG & Associates, LLC 16633 Ventura
March 23, 2020 Gene Broussard AMG & Associates, LLC 16633 Ventura Boulevard, Suite 10104 Encino, CA 91436 RE: Biological Site Assessment for 825 Drake Avenue Mr. Broussard, The purpose of this letter report is to provide you the results of the Biological Site Assessment (BSA) that WRA, Inc. (WRA) conducted at 825 Drake Avenue (APN: 052-112-03) in Sausalito, unincorporated Marin County, California (Study Area; Attachment A-Figure 1). The BSA site visit was conducted on December 27, 2019. The Study Area is composed of a single 1.01-acre improved parcel located at 825 Drake Avenue, approximately 0.2 air mile west of US Highway 101. The Study Area consists of developed areas including a paved parking lot, paved walkways, a semi-permanent church structure, a storage shed, and surrounding landscaped areas. Planted native and non-native landscape trees border the majority of the Study Area. The proposed development footprint based on the most recent Project plans (Kodama Diseno Architects and Planners, February 20, 2020), is located within the central portion of the Study Area and is referred to as the Project Area. Existing access to the Study Area is via a paved driveway in the southern portion of the Study Area adjacent to Drake Avenue. The purpose of this assessment is to gather information necessary to complete a review of biological resources under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). This report describes the results of the site visit for which the Study Area was assessed concerning: (1) the potential to support special-status plant and wildlife species; (2) the potential presence of sensitive biological communities such as wetlands or riparian habitats subject to regulatory agency jurisdiction; and (3) the potential presence of other sensitive biological resources protected by local, state, and federal laws and regulations. -
Outline of Angiosperm Phylogeny
Outline of angiosperm phylogeny: orders, families, and representative genera with emphasis on Oregon native plants Priscilla Spears December 2013 The following listing gives an introduction to the phylogenetic classification of the flowering plants that has emerged in recent decades, and which is based on nucleic acid sequences as well as morphological and developmental data. This listing emphasizes temperate families of the Northern Hemisphere and is meant as an overview with examples of Oregon native plants. It includes many exotic genera that are grown in Oregon as ornamentals plus other plants of interest worldwide. The genera that are Oregon natives are printed in a blue font. Genera that are exotics are shown in black, however genera in blue may also contain non-native species. Names separated by a slash are alternatives or else the nomenclature is in flux. When several genera have the same common name, the names are separated by commas. The order of the family names is from the linear listing of families in the APG III report. For further information, see the references on the last page. Basal Angiosperms (ANITA grade) Amborellales Amborellaceae, sole family, the earliest branch of flowering plants, a shrub native to New Caledonia – Amborella Nymphaeales Hydatellaceae – aquatics from Australasia, previously classified as a grass Cabombaceae (water shield – Brasenia, fanwort – Cabomba) Nymphaeaceae (water lilies – Nymphaea; pond lilies – Nuphar) Austrobaileyales Schisandraceae (wild sarsaparilla, star vine – Schisandra; Japanese -
Population Genetics and Genetic Structure in San Joaquin Woolly
POPULATION GENETICS AND GENETIC STRUCTURE IN SAN JOAQUIN WOOLY THREADS (Monolopia congdonii (A. Gray) B.G. Baldwin Bureau of Land Management – UC Berkeley Grant/Cooperative Agreement Number: L12AC20073 Susan Bainbridge Jepson Herbarium 1001 VLSB #2465 University of California Berkeley, CA 94720 Ryan O’Dell Bureau of Land Management California & Bruce Baldwin UC Berkeley INTRODUCTION Conservation of genetic variability is one of the most important and concrete measures ecologists and land managers can implement to maintain viability for specific organisms vulnerable to climate change and to increase success of restoration. Genetic diversity via adaptation and gene flow can help organisms increase chances of surviving environmental changes (Anderson et al. 2012, Reusch et al. 2005, Jump et al. 2008, Doi et al. 2010). Genetic diversity is also threatened by climate change by erosion due to range shifts and/or reductions (Aguilar et al. 2008, Alsos et al. 2012). Genetic diversity is also an important criterion for restoration and conservation planning, and prioritizing protection of populations. For plant taxa with a declining or limited geographical range or declining populations, perspective on regional and local genetic structure and history is important for developing effective management and restoration planning. Genetic diversity and the processes that shape or maintain that diversity are considered integral for population viability. Inherently rare taxa or those that have had a reduction in population size or an increase in fragmentation may have low levels of genetic variability, in addition to other factors. This increases their vulnerability to inbreeding depression and changes in environmental conditions. At the same time, these taxa are also more vulnerable to unintended consequences of restoration or attempts at enhancement, such as insufficient genetic sampling; swamping of rare genotypes or alleles; or hampered local adaptation by introduction of non-local material. -

THURSDAY JUNE 7, 7:30pm Tiny and Tough: Rare Plants of Mount Tams Serpentine Barrens Speaker: Rachel Kesel Among the rare vegetation types found on Mount Tamalpais, serpentine barrens present plants with NEW S some of the harshest soil conditions for growth. For much of the year it appears that these areas of pretty blue rock and soil are indeed barren. However, several rare annual plants make a living in this habitat, including some endemic to the Mount Tam area. In addition to serpentine barrens, adjacent THE YERBA BUENA chaparral and grasslands host rare perennial species equally as tough as the tiny annuals, if far larger in CHAPTER OF THE size. CALIFORNIA Land managers across the mountain are monitoring a suite of ten rare plants found in serpentine barrens NATIVE PLANT to better understand their distributions and population fluctuations over time. Known as the Serpentine SOCIETY FOR Endemic Occupancy Project, this effort is one of many cross-jurisdictional endeavors of the One Tam initiative. -

Big Tarplant (Blepharizonia Plumosa)
Plants Big Tarplant (Blepharizonia plumosa) Big Tarplant (Blepharizonia plumosa) Status Federal: None State: None CNPS: List 1B Population Trend Global: Unknown State: Unknown Within Inventory Area: Unknown © 2002 John Game Data Characterization The location database for big tarplant includes 36 data records dated from 1916 to 2001 (California Natural Diversity Database 2005). Twenty-nine of the occurrences were documented within the last 10 years. Seven of the occurrences have not been observed for over 60 years, but all the other occurrences are believed to be extant (California Natural Diversity Database 2005). Most of the occurrences are of high precision and may be accurately located, including those within the inventory area. Very little ecological information is available for big tarplant. The published literature on the species pertains primarily to its taxonomy. The main sources of general information on this species are the Jepson Manual (Hickman 1993) and the California Native Plant Society (2005). Specific observations on habitat and plant associates, threats, and other factors are summarized in the California Natural Diversity Database (2005). Range Big tarplant is endemic to the Mount Diablo foothills and is found primarily in eastern Contra Costa, eastern Alameda, and western San Joaquin Counties (Hoover 1937). Occurrences within the ECCC HCP/NCCP Inventory Area In the inventory area, big tarplant is known from 4 occurrences on Cowell Ranch, west of Brentwood, 7 occurrences on Roddy Ranch, south of Antioch, and one occurrence in Mount Diablo State Park, southeast of Clayton (California Natural Diversity Database 2005, Lake 2004). The historic occurrences in Antioch are likely to have been extirpated, although at least 1 population is present at Black Diamond Mines Regional Park (Preston pers. -
