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).

    Covered Species Analysis Support –Final Report

    Covered Species Analysis Support –Final Report 2013-UNR-1460E Photo by Ken Nussear Draft Final report for 2013-UNR-1460E – Submitted to Clark County Desert Conservation Program. January 2020 by Ken Nussear, and Eric Simandle, University of Nevada, Reno 1 Executive Summary Clark County is currently in the process of updating its permit with the US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) to allow for continued development, while planning for the management and conservation of species of concern that reside within the county. The original Clark County Multi-Species Habitat Conservation Plan (MSHCP) included 79 Covered Species, 103 Evaluation Species, and 51 Watch List species (Clark County 2000). The goal of this project was to create habitat models for 17 species that were absent, or that had models reviewed by a previous research effort (by Southwest Ecology LLC; for which the author here was the Principal). Models were incorporated into the previous species accounts from that effort to create a cohesive product with respect to each species. Collectively, this information was in the form of 1) species accounts, which give general species information on biology, 2) status and trends, and 3) habitat considerations produced in the prior effort; and 4) species habitat models –produced under this project – to provide an understanding on the amount and extent of potential habitat for these species. Our approach was to use the species accounts that were produced to drive conceptual models that were used to choose appropriate environmental covariates to use in building species distribution models (SDMs). We received localities for many of the species from the Clark County Desert Conservation Program (DCP), and acquired more localities from a variety of sources to allow for the most accurate modeling possible - given the data.

    Focused Fall Rare Plant Survey Soda Mountain Solar Project BLM Case # CACA49584 San Bernardino County, California October-November 2012 Prepared for: Bureau of Land Management Barstow Field Office 2601 Barstow, CA 92311 Prepared by: C.S. Ecological Surveys and Assessments 11331 Star Pine Road Truckee, CA 96161 Under Contract to: Panorama Environmental Inc. One Embarcadero Center, #740 San Francisco, CA 94111 Executive Summary This report presents the results of focused botanical surveys for fall-flowering rare plants at the proposed Soda Mountain Solar Project (SMS). Transect-based complete pedestrian surveys of the approximately 4,075-acre SMS botanical survey area were conducted from October 24 through November 5, 2012. The surveys generally complied with the botanical survey guidelines of the California Department of Fish and Game (CDFG), the California Native Plant Society (CNPS), the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), and the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), but differed from these protocols in that only late-season surveys were conducted. The survey work plan was approved by both BLM and CDFG prior to performing surveys. Pre-field research was conducted to select rare plant species with potential to be found within the survey area. The list of potentially occurring rare plants was derived from several sources including the California Natural Diversity Database, the CNPS On-line Inventory, and the California Consortium of Herbaria. Fifteen late summer and fall-flowering rare plant species were determined to have potential to occur within the survey area based on habitat preferences and known distribution. No federal or state-listed plant taxa were observed.
