  • Botanical Survey Report Horseshoe Pond Restoration Project Point Reyes National Seashore Marin County, California
    Botanical Survey Report Horseshoe Pond Restoration Project Point Reyes National Seashore Marin County, California Prepared By: Lorraine Parsons Point Reyes National Seashore Division of Natural Resources Management Point Reyes Station, CA 94956 May 17, 2002 CHAPTER 1. INTRODUCTION 1.1 REGULATORY BACKGROUND The purpose of this report is to provide background information regarding botanical resources within the Horseshoe Pond Restoration Project area (Proposed Project Area). Point Reyes National Seashore (Seashore) is preparing an Environmental Assessment (EA) for the Proposed Project. Background information in this report will be used to guide development and assess potential environmental impacts of the Proposed Project. As part of the EA, the Seashore must consider whether the Proposed Project could impact special status plant species, as well as special status wildlife species and other sensitive biological resources such as wetlands and riparian areas. Special status plant species include those that are legally protected under the federal and California Endangered Species Acts (ESA) or other regulations and species that are considered rare by the scientific community. Special status species are defined as: • plants that are listed or proposed for listing as threatened or endangered under the California ESA (Fish and Game Code §2050 et seq.; 14 CCR §670.1 et seq.) and/or the federal ESA (50 CFR 17.11 for animals; various notices in the Federal Register [FR] for proposed species); • plants that are candidates for possible future listing as threatened or endangered under the federal ESA (61 FR 7506 February 28, 1996); • plants that meet the definition of rare or endangered under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) (14 CCR §15380) which includes species not found on state or federal endangered species lists; • plants that are designated as “species of concern” (former category 2 candidates for listing) by the U.S.

  • Conceptual Design Documentation
    Appendix A: Conceptual Design Documentation APPENDIX A Conceptual Design Documentation June 2019 A-1 APPENDIX A: CONCEPTUAL DESIGN DOCUMENTATION The environmental analyses in the NEPA and CEQA documents for the proposed improvements at Oceano County Airport (the Airport) are based on conceptual designs prepared to provide a realistic basis for assessing their environmental consequences. 1. Widen runway from 50 to 60 feet 2. Widen Taxiways A, A-1, A-2, A-3, and A-4 from 20 to 25 feet 3. Relocate segmented circle and wind cone 4. Installation of taxiway edge lighting 5. Installation of hold position signage 6. Installation of a new electrical vault and connections 7. Installation of a pollution control facility (wash rack) CIVIL ENGINEERING CALCULATIONS The purpose of this conceptual design effort is to identify the amount of impervious surface, grading (cut and fill) and drainage implications of the projects identified above. The conceptual design calculations detailed in the following figures indicate that Projects 1 and 2, widening the runways and taxiways would increase the total amount of impervious surface on the Airport by 32,016 square feet, or 0.73 acres; a 6.6 percent increase in the Airport’s impervious surface area. Drainage patterns would remain the same as both the runway and taxiways would continue to sheet flow from their centerlines to the edge of pavement and then into open, grassed areas. The existing drainage system is able to accommodate the modest increase in stormwater runoff that would occur, particularly as soil conditions on the Airport are conducive to infiltration. Figure A-1 shows the locations of the seven projects incorporated in the Proposed Action.

We have never had so many problems in fitting the range of plants we have “on our books” into the available space! We always try and keep our lists “democratic” and balanced although at times our prejudices show and one or two groups rise to the top. This year we are offering an unprecedented range of calochortus in a multiplicity of sizes, colours and flower shapes from the charming fairy lanterns of C. albidus through to the spectacular, later-flowering mariposas with upward-facing bowl-shaped flowers in a rich tapestry of shades from canary-yellow through to lilac, lavender and purple. Counterpoised to these flashy dandies we are offering an assortment of choice muscari whose quiet charm, softer colours and Tulipa vvedenskyi Tecophilaea cyanocrocus Violacea persistent flowering make them no less effective in the winter and spring garden. Standouts among this group are the deliciously scented duo, M. muscarimi and M. macrocarpum and the striking and little known tassel-hyacith, M. weissii. While it has its devotees, many gardeners are unaware of the qualities of the large and diverse tribe of “onions”, known as alliums.

  • Greene's Tuctoria 0 12.5 25 50 75 100
    14. TUCTORIA GREENEI (GREENE’S TUCTORIA) a. Description and Taxonomy Taxonomy.—The genus Tuctoria is in the grass family (Poaceae), subfamily Chloridoideae, and is a member of the Orcuttieae tribe, which also includes Neostapfia and Orcuttia (Reeder 1965, Keeley 1998). Vasey (1891:146) originally assigned the name Orcuttia greenei to this species, from a type specimen collected in 1890 “on moist plains of the upper Sacramento, near Chico, California,” presumably in Butte County (Hoover 1941, Crampton 1958). Citing differences in lemma morphology, arrangement of the spikelets, and other differences (see “Description” below), Reeder (1982) segregated the genus Tuctoria from Orcuttia and created the new scientific name Tuctoria greenei for this species. Subsequent research suggests that Tuctoria is intermediate in evolutionary position between the primitive genus Neostapfia and the advanced genus Orcuttia (Keeley 1998, L. Boykin in litt. 2000). Several other common names have been used for this species, including Chico grass (Scribner 1899), awnless Orcutt grass (Abrams 1940), Greene’s orcuttia (Smith et al. 1980), and Greene’s Orcutt grass (California Department of Fish and Game 1991, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service 1985c). Description and Identification.—The basic characteristics pertaining to all members of the Orcuttieae were described above in the Neostapfia colusana account. The genus Tuctoria is characterized by flattened spikelets similar to those of Orcuttia species, except that the spikelets of Tuctoria grow in a spiral, as opposed to a distichous, arrangement. Tuctoria species have short-toothed, narrow lemmas. The juvenile and terrestrial leaves of Tuctoria are similar to those of Orcuttia, but Tuctoria does not produce the floating type of intermediate leaves (Reeder 1982, Keeley 1998).

    Checklist of Ventura County Rare Plants (Twenty-second Edition) CNPS, Rare Plant Program David L. Magney Checklist of Ventura County Rare Plants1 By David L. Magney California Native Plant Society, Rare Plant Program, Locally Rare Project Updated 4 January 2017 Ventura County is located in southern California, USA, along the east edge of the Pacific Ocean. The coastal portion occurs along the south and southwestern quarter of the County. Ventura County is bounded by Santa Barbara County on the west, Kern County on the north, Los Angeles County on the east, and the Pacific Ocean generally on the south (Figure 1, General Location Map of Ventura County). Ventura County extends north to 34.9014ºN latitude at the northwest corner of the County. The County extends westward at Rincon Creek to 119.47991ºW longitude, and eastward to 118.63233ºW longitude at the west end of the San Fernando Valley just north of Chatsworth Reservoir. The mainland portion of the County reaches southward to 34.04567ºN latitude between Solromar and Sequit Point west of Malibu. When including Anacapa and San Nicolas Islands, the southernmost extent of the County occurs at 33.21ºN latitude and the westernmost extent at 119.58ºW longitude, on the south side and west sides of San Nicolas Island, respectively. Ventura County occupies 480,996 hectares [ha] (1,188,562 acres [ac]) or 4,810 square kilometers [sq. km] (1,857 sq. miles [mi]), which includes Anacapa and San Nicolas Islands. The mainland portion of the county is 474,852 ha (1,173,380 ac), or 4,748 sq.
