HOVNANIAN HOMES BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES ASSESSMENT FOOTHILL ASSOCIATES © 2017 Executive Summary Foothill Associates’ biologists synthesized the results of June 12 and 13, 2017, surveys within the 530-acre Study Area and past studies and biological reports to produce an up to date biological resources assessment of The Ranch Project located within the City of Rancho Cordova, California. The Study Area lies immediately east of Rancho Cordova Parkway and a half mile south of Douglas Road. The purpose of this document is to summarize the general biological resources within the Study Area, to assess the suitability of the Study Area to support special-status species and sensitive habitat types, and to provide recommendations for regulatory permitting or further analysis that may be required prior to development activities occurring on the site. The Ranch site (Study Area) consists of ±530 acres of land that is dominated by annual grassland that is bisected northeast to southwest by an intermittent drainage and interspersed with numerous vernal pools and other seasonal wetlands. Land uses surrounding the Study Area include livestock grazing and residential development. Known or potential biological constraints in the Study Area include the following: • Wetlands and other waters of the U.S. subject to Clean Water Act 404/401 and Section 1600 of Fish and Game Code regulations; • Potential habitat for special-status plants Ahart’s dwarf

  • "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.

  • 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

  • 4.3 Biological Resources
    4.3 BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES DRAFT EIR PINE ACRES NORTH NOVEMBER 2009 4.3 BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES INTRODUCTION The Biological Resources chapter of the EIR evaluates the biological resources known to occur or potentially occur within the Pine Acres North project (proposed project) site. This chapter describes potential impacts to those resources, and identifies measures to eliminate or substantially reduce those impacts to less-than-significant levels. Existing plant communities, wetlands, wildlife habitats, and potential for special-status species and communities are discussed for the project site. The information contained in this analysis is primarily based on a Biological Resources Evaluation Report for Pine Acres North1 prepared by Sycamore Environmental Consultants (See Appendix G), a Jurisdictional Delineation and Special Status Species Evaluation2 prepared by Gibson & Skordal, LLC (See Appendix H), and an Oak Woodland Assessment3 prepared by Ronald P. Monk Consulting (See Appendix I). EXISTING ENVIRONMENTAL SETTING The following sections describe the regional setting of the site, as well as the existing biological resources occurring in the proposed project area. Regional Setting The proposed project site is located in the Sierra Foothills in the western portion of Amador County, approximately one mile southeast of the community of Pine Grove. The proposed site ranges from approximately 2,500 feet to 2,690 feet above mean sea level (MSL) and is located in the Upper Mokelumne watershed. The majority of soils within the project site were formed in material weathered metasedimentary rock and are well drained with medium to very rapid runoff. Project Setting Land uses located within Amador County are primarily agricultural and open space, with residential and commercial areas in existing cities (See Figure 4.3-1).
