SWReGAP Southwest Regional Gap Analysis Project TES Threatened, Endangered, and Sensitive USFWS United States Fish and Wildlife Service 2015 Biological Survey – Granite Construction Lockwood Conveyor and Access Road February 2016 Granite Construction ii 1.0 INTRODUCTION Granite Construction (Granite) has applied for a right-of-way (ROW) grant authorization to construct, maintain, and operate portions of an overland conveyor belt and access road on public land administered by the United States Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management (BLM), Carson City District Office, Sierra Front Field Office. The proposed project is located in Washoe County, Nevada, in the southern Pah Rah Range north of Interstate Highway 80 (I-80), approximately three miles east of the City of Sparks (Figure 1). The BLM has initiated the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) process to analyze the impacts of the proposed ROW at the project location. A baseline biological survey of the area is one requirement for the NEPA analysis for the project. Granite contracted with Stantec Consulting Services Inc. (Stantec) to conduct the baseline biological survey for the entire road and conveyor area, including on private land. The survey area included areas within a 500-foot buffer of the portion of the proposed ROW that crosses public lands (survey area). The entire conveyor and road area were surveyed in order to provide baseline data for cumulative effects during the NEPA process. The survey included a records and literature review of biological resources that may occur in the area and a ground survey to locate the following: 1) potential habitat for threatened, endangered, and sensitive (TES) plant and wildlife species; 2) TES plant and wildlife species individuals and/or populations; and 3) noxious weeds. 1.1 PROJECT LOCATION The proposed road, conveyor belt and associated slopes associated with the proposed project would all be within Sections 8, 9, 16 and 17 of Township 19 North, Range 21 East, Mount Diablo Baseline and Meridian, within Washoe County, Nevada (Figure 1). Granite has submitted a draft Plan of Development for a ROW on BLM administered public land to construct, operate and maintain the portion of the conveyor belt and access road that cross public land (project area). The ROW project area consists of approximately 2.1 acres of public land. The area surveyed for this report includes the entire extents of the conveyor belt and access road, both on public land and private land, and includes a 500-foot buffer of the ROW project area (survey area). The survey area consists of approximately 21 acres of public land and 28 acres of private land. The project can be accessed from the Reno-Sparks area by taking I-80 east from Sparks 2.6 miles to the Lockwood exit, and then traveling north to Granite’s Lockwood facilities. The project area can also be accessed by continuing east on I-80 another 1.6 miles to the Mustang exit, then following the Canyon Park Road, which runs north into the southern Pah Rah Range. This road accesses the existing Marietta Pit and telecommunications equipment north of the project area. Elevations in the survey area range from 4,616 feet above mean sea level (AMSL) to 5,094 feet AMSL. The land cover type in the survey area as defined by Southwest Regional Gap Analysis Project (SWReGAP) is primarily Inter-Mountain Basins Big Sagebrush Shrubland (15.20 acres), with smaller 2015 Biological Survey – Granite Construction Lockwood Conveyor and Access Road February 2016 Granite Construction 1 amounts of Inter-Mountain Basins Mixed Salt Desert Scrub (11.67 acres); Sierra Nevada Cliff and Canyon (21.48 acres); and Inter-Mountain Basins Montane Sagebrush Steppe (0.23 acres). A field visit of the survey area was conducted on December 2, 2015. During the visit, the habitat present was assessed and surveys for wildlife and vegetation present were conducted. Conditions at the time of the survey included cool temperatures and cloudy skies. Only small patches of snow were present on north slopes on the date of the survey. 2015 Biological Survey – Granite Construction Lockwood Conveyor and Access Road February 2016 Granite Construction 2 2.0 METHODS Consultation letters were sent to the Nevada Department of Wildlife (NDOW) and the Nevada Natural Heritage Program (NNHP), and the United States Fish and Wildlife Service’s (USFWS) Information for Planning and Conservation database was searched to determine the presence of any TES plant or wildlife species within the area. The pre-field review conducted for the project included preparation of a habitat evaluation (HE)

  • "National List of Vascular Plant Species That Occur in Wetlands: 1996 National Summary."
    Intro 1996 National List of Vascular Plant Species That Occur in Wetlands The Fish and Wildlife Service has prepared a National List of Vascular Plant Species That Occur in Wetlands: 1996 National Summary (1996 National List). The 1996 National List is a draft revision of the National List of Plant Species That Occur in Wetlands: 1988 National Summary (Reed 1988) (1988 National List). The 1996 National List is provided to encourage additional public review and comments on the draft regional wetland indicator assignments. The 1996 National List reflects a significant amount of new information that has become available since 1988 on the wetland affinity of vascular plants. This new information has resulted from the extensive use of the 1988 National List in the field by individuals involved in wetland and other resource inventories, wetland identification and delineation, and wetland research. Interim Regional Interagency Review Panel (Regional Panel) changes in indicator status as well as additions and deletions to the 1988 National List were documented in Regional supplements. The National List was originally developed as an appendix to the Classification of Wetlands and Deepwater Habitats of the United States (Cowardin et al.1979) to aid in the consistent application of this classification system for wetlands in the field.. The 1996 National List also was developed to aid in determining the presence of hydrophytic vegetation in the Clean Water Act Section 404 wetland regulatory program and in the implementation of the swampbuster provisions of the Food Security Act. While not required by law or regulation, the Fish and Wildlife Service is making the 1996 National List available for review and comment.

    Rock Garden uar terly � Fall 2013 NARGS to ADVERtISE IN thE QuARtERly CoNtACt [email protected] Let me know what yo think A recent issue of a chapter newsletter had an item entitled “News from NARGS”. There were comments on various issues related to the new NARGS website, not all complimentary, and then it turned to the Quarterly online and raised some points about which I would be very pleased to have your views. “The good news is that all the Quarterlies are online and can easily be dowloaded. The older issues are easy to read except for some rather pale type but this may be the result of scanning. There is amazing information in these older issues. The last three years of the Quarterly are also online but you must be a member to read them. These last issues are on Allen Press’s BrightCopy and I find them harder to read than a pdf file. Also the last issue of the Quarterly has 60 extra pages only available online. Personally I find this objectionable as I prefer all my content in a printed bulletin.” This raises two points: Readability of BrightCopy issues versus PDF issues Do you find the BrightCopy issues as good as the PDF issues? Inclusion of extra material in online editions only. Do you object to having extra material in the online edition which can not be included in the printed edition? Please take a moment to email me with your views Malcolm McGregor <[email protected]> CONTRIBUTORS All illustrations are by the authors of articles unless otherwise stated.
