    November 2, 2010 California Energy Commission Chris Otahal DOCKETED Wildlife Biologist 08-AFC-13C Bureau of Land Management TN # Barstow Field Office 66131 2601 Barstow Road JUL 06 2012 Barstow, CA 92311 Subject: Late Season 2010 Botanical Survey of the Calico Solar Project Site URS Project No. 27658189.70013 Dear Mr. Otahal: INTRODUCTION This letter report presents the results of the late season floristic surveys for the Calico Solar Project (Project), a proposed renewable solar energy facility located approximately 37 miles east of Barstow, California. The purpose of this study was to identify late season plant species that only respond to late summer/early fall monsoonal rains and to satisfy the California Energy Commission (CEC) Supplemental Staff Assessment BIO-12 Special-status Plant Impact Avoidance and Minimization, requirements B and C (CEC 2010). Botanical surveys were conducted for the Project site in 2007 and 2008. In response to above average rainfall events that have occurred during 2010, including a late season rainfall event on August 17, 2010 totaling 0.49 inch1, additional botanical surveys were conducted by URS Corporation (URS) for the Project site. These surveys incorporated survey protocols published by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) (BLM 1996a, BLM 1996b, BLM 2001, and BLM 2009). BLM and CEC staff were given the opportunity to comment on the survey protocol prior to the commencement of botanical surveys on the site. The 2010 late season survey was conducted from September 20 through September 24, 2010. The surveys encompassed the 1,876-acre Phase 1 portion of the Project site; select areas in the main, western area of Phase 2; a 250-foot buffer area outside the site perimeter; and a proposed transmission line, which begins at the Pisgah substation, heads northeast following the aerial transmission line, follows the Burlington Northern Santa Fe (BNSF) railroad on the north side, and ends in survey cell 24 (ID#24, Figure 1).

Armenia is a mountainous country with a characteristic ragged relief and a wide variety of climatic conditions and soils. In addition, Armenia is located on the intersection of two different physical-geographic areas, particularly, various botanical-geographic regions, such as the Caucasian mesophilous and Armenian-Iranian xerophilous ones, where natural speciation is active.
