Executive Summary

Crouch Environmental Services, Inc. (CESI) was contracted by Sander Engineering Corporation, on behalf of North Harris County Regional Water Authority (NHCRWA), to perform a Threatened and Endangered (T&E) and rare species habitat assessment for the 24.13-ac Project 28F waterline (Subject Property). The Subject Property is located in northwestern Harris County, Texas, approximately 16 miles northwest of Houston (See Vicinity Map in Appendix A). The Subject Property travels through public right-of-way (ROW) adjacent to residential and commercial roadways, public ROW adjacent to Greens Bayou, and portions of private residences and industrial facilities.

Five habitat types are present on the Subject Property and are illustrated in the 2018 Aerial Photograph with Habitat Types included in Appendix A. Urban/Residential habitat covers the majority of the Subject Property. The remainder of the property is dominated by Herbaceous, Mowed ROW habitat along public roadways and pipelines with a small percentage of narrow Riparian Corridor habitat adjacent to Greens Bayou, open water and one small Palustrine Emergent (PEM) Wetland.

Based upon the desktop analysis and the subsequent pedestrian visual survey conducted on July 19, 2017 and April 20, 2018 of the Subject Property, no federally or state-listed species, nor potentially suitable habitat were observed on the Subject Property. The undeveloped stretches of riparian habitat have the most potential to support listed species; however, Highway 249 to the north, Farm-to-Market (FM) 1960 to the south, and Jones Road to the West essentially sever the connections to any larger tracts of riparian habitat. Culverts and the channelized nature of Greens Bayou also sever connections to larger streams which could potentially support listed species.

The Subject Property has little suitable habitat that will support breeding, wintering, and/or transitory migratory birds due to the majority of the Subject Property being regularly mowed and maintained. During the pedestrian visual survey, no bird nests or nesting activity were observed. However, consideration should be taken for migratory birds under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act (MBTA). If proposed project clearing activities are expected to occur during migratory bird nesting season (defined by Texas Parks and Wildlife Department [TPWD] to occur between March 15 and September 15 [TPWD 2017]), it is recommended that migratory birds and trees with active migratory bird nests are avoided.

Threatened and Endangered Species Habitat Assessment 1 Project 28-F Executive Summary Sander Engineering Corporation Harris County, Texas

Introduction

CESI was contracted by Sander Engineering Corporation, on behalf of NHCRWA to perform a T&E and rare species habitat assessment for the 24.13-ac Project 28F waterline (Subject Property). The Subject Property is located in northwestern Harris County, Texas, approximately 16 miles northwest of Houston (See Figure 1 below). A Vicinity Map is also included in Appendix A. The Subject Property travels through public ROW adjacent to residential and commercial roadways, public ROW adjacent to Greens Bayou, and portions of privately owned property.

CESI conducted a desktop analysis, querying federal and state agencies to identify T&E species that may occur on the Subject Property, as well as reviewing historic and current aerial photographs, land use/land cover, and soil types identified on the Subject Property. The desktop analysis was followed by pedestrian visual surveys conducted by CESI biologists on July 19, 2017 and April 20, 2018, to confirm existing site conditions, potential T&E habitat, and the presence of T&E species. Based on the habitat observed on the Subject Property, the potential for federal and state-listed species to occur and potential impacts to those species from the proposed project was assessed. The details of CESI’s findings are provided in this T&E Species Habitat Assessment Report.

Threatened and Endangered Species Habitat Assessment 2 Project 28-F Introduction Sander Engineering Corporation Harris County, Texas

Methodology

Federally Listed Species Review CESI utilized the United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) Information for Planning and Conservation (IPaC) website to obtain a list of federally protected species, critical habitat, and migratory birds that could be affected by project activities on the Subject Property. CESI reviewed the habitat requirements of these federally listed species in preparation for the pedestrian visual survey. The USFWS IPaC Resource List is available in Appendix B.

State-Listed Species Review CESI reviewed the TPWD County List for state-listed species known to occur in Harris County as well as habitat requirements in preparation for the pedestrian visual survey. CESI also utilized available resources such as the state ecoregion map and TPWD Natural Diversity Database (NDD) to further refine the list of listed species that have potentially suitable habitat on the Subject Property.

CESI contacted TPWD regarding their knowledge of recorded data for the documented presence or potential presence of listed species habitat on, or within 10 miles of the Subject Property. A record of correspondence with TPWD is located in Appendix B. The TPWD NDD records sightings of listed and rare species as Elements of Occurrence (EO). Each EO is assigned an identification number (EOID). EO document actual observations of individual species; they do not document potential habitat for threatened, endangered, and rare species that could be present within the Subject Property.

Migratory Bird Treaty Act Review In addition to the USFWS’s region-specific list of birds protected by the MBTA generated in the USFWS IPaC Resource List, CESI reviewed 50 CFR 10.13, located in Appendix D, to verify all listed migratory bird species protected under the MBTA that may have potentially suitable habitat on the Subject Property (USFWS 2017).

To supplement the migratory bird list generated by the USFWS IPaC Resource List, the National Audubon Society’s eBird Field Checklist – 100 Acre Wood Preserve eBird hotspot (approximately 1 mile north of Subject Property along West Cypress Forest Drive) was reviewed to verify birds detected in the vicinity of the Subject Property over the last year (see Appendix B). CESI biologists also used this eBird checklist to assist in making a determination of the potential for migratory bird species to have suitable habitat on the Subject Property. The eBird list is a real-time, online checklist of citizen biologists’ bird sightings and observations that go through a quality control, verification process before publication (National Audubon Society 2017).

Methodology

Subject Property Desktop Analysis CESI biologists conducted a desktop analysis of the Subject Property to determine current land use/land cover and natural resource features to make a preliminary assessment of habitat composition in order to evaluate the potential for federally and state-listed species to occur on the Subject Property. The following additional resources and datasets were reviewed:

 National Hydrography Database (NHD)

 2015 Aerial Photograph with Infrared Imagery  Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) Soil Survey Geographic database (SSURGO) data Harris County, Texas (See 2018 Aerial Photograph with NRCS Soil Survey Data map in Appendix A)  Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Ecoregion Mapping  TPWD Ecoregion Mapping  TPWD Ecological Systems Classification and Mapping Project (EMS)

Threatened, Endangered, and Rare Species and Habitat Assessment Qualified CESI biologists conducted meandering pedestrian visual surveys to determine the presence or likely presence of any federally or state-listed T&E species, candidate species, rare species, or suitable habitat for these species.

Throughout the Subject Property, data was collected to document habitat type/cover and the dominant species within those habitat types. Representative soil pits were also excavated at the Subject Property to characterize and verify the soil types present on the Subject Property. The habitat observed on the Subject Property was evaluated for its potential to support federal- and state-listed species. Subject Property Photographs of the habitat types on the Subject Property are included in Appendix C.

Methodology

Impact Assessment Determinations Impact assessment determinations were made for each federally and state-listed-species with potential to occur on the Subject Property based on the presence of suitable habitat and the nature of the proposed impacts to species.

Impact assessment determinations for species which are under the regulatory protection of the Endangered Species Act (ESA) and listed by the USFWS as potentially occurring within the Subject Property will be described in this assessment using one of the following:

 “no effect” - there will be no impacts, positive or negative, to listed or proposed resources. Generally, this means no listed resources will be exposed to action and its environmental consequences. Concurrence from the Service is not required.  “may affect, but is not likely to adversely affect” - all effects are beneficial, insignificant, or discountable. Beneficial effects have contemporaneous positive effects without any adverse effects to the species or habitat. Insignificant effects relate to the size of the impact and include those effects that are undetectable, not measurable, or cannot be evaluated. Discountable effects are those extremely unlikely to occur. These determinations require written concurrence from the Service.  “may affect, and is likely to adversely affect” - listed resources are likely to be exposed to the action or its environmental consequences and will respond in a negative manner to the exposure.

Potential impacts to species not protected under the ESA but listed by the TPWD as potentially occurring within the Subject Property will be described in this assessment by stating that the project will have

 “no impact” - there will be no impacts, positive or negative  “may impact” - all effects are beneficial, insignificant, or discountable.  “would impact” - listed resources are likely to be exposed to the action or its environmental consequences and will respond in a negative manner to the exposure.

Migratory Bird Treaty Act The Subject Property has little suitable habitat that could support migratory birds, protected under the MBTA (USFWS 2017), within the narrow riparian habitat located adjacent to Greens Bayou and in trees located in the front yards of residential homes. During the pedestrian visual survey, no active bird nests or nesting activity were observed. However, consideration should be taken for migratory birds under the MBTA during any construction activity.

Ecoregion The Subject Property is located within the EPA mapped Northern Humid Gulf Coastal Prairie Ecoregion (34a) of the Western Gulf Coastal Plain Ecoregion (34) (Griffith et al. 2004). According to the EPA Ecoregion map, the Northern Humid Gulf Coastal Prairies ecoregion is characterized by a gently sloping coastal plain historically dominated by tallgrass prairie and scattered oak mottes. Much of this ecoregion has been converted to cropland and encroached upon by non-native species such as Chinese tallow (Triadica sebifera) and exotic privet (Ligustrum spp). Annual precipitation ranges from 37 to 58 inches (Griffith et al. 2004). The Subject Property is also located within the similarly characterized TPWD Gulf Prairies and Marshes Ecoregion (TPWD, 2017c). With a growing season over 300 days, this humid and warm temperature Ecoregion supports a variety of terrestrial and aquatic species (TPWD, 2017c).

Habitat Types Present on the Subject Property A pedestrian visual survey was conducted by qualified CESI biologists on July 19, 2017 and April 20, 2018, to determine what habitats are located on the Subject Property, and if those habitats would be suitable for the listed-species with potential to occur on the Subject Property. Five habitat types are located on the Subject Property and are illustrated in Figure 3 on the following page: Urban/residential, herbaceous mowed ROW, open water, narrow riparian corridor, and PEM wetland. A 2018 Aerial Photograph with Habitat Types is included in Appendix A. Dominant vegetation in each habitat type is included in Table 3 on the following page.

Urban/Residential (15.20 ac) – This habitat consists of dense residential homes, schools, and businesses bordered by lawns with ornamental vegetation, paved roads, parking lots and driveways. Several roadside ditches are also included in this habitat type.

Herbaceous, Mowed ROW (7.42 ac) – This habitat consists of regularly mowed and maintained fields, pipelines, and road ROW, including upland-cut ditches.

Open Water (0.17 ac) – This habitat type consists of one manmade palustrine unconsolidated bottom (PUB) pond feature approximately 1.5 feet in depth. This habitat type exhibits polluted and stagnant water; tires and trash were observed within the pond feature. This habitat is bounded by industrial and residential properties.

Riparian Corridor (0.03 ac) – This habitat includes a narrow strip of trees allowed to remain adjacent to Greens Bayou and a very small segment of Greens Bayou. Loblolly pine (Pinus taeda), various oak species (Quercus sp), and yaupon are the dominate species in this habitat. The Riparian Corridor is surrounded by Herbaceous, Mowed ROW and Urban/Residential habitats. Greens Bayou is narrow, straight, and has a concrete-lined bed in this segment which degrades the quality of this area as potential species habitat. This habitat also receives a large amount of surface runoff and possible pollutants from nearby development, further reducing habitat quality.

PEM Wetland (0.01 ac) – This habitat is primarily located within a shallow depression and ruts on mowed and maintained pipeline ROW. This habitat is dominated by Vasey’s grass (Paspalum urvilei). Fine-sandy-loam soils, and one to two inches of standing water are present throughout the ROW PEM wetland.

Conclusion and Recommendations

Conclusion Based upon the desktop analysis and the subsequent pedestrian visual survey conducted on July 19, 2017 and April 20, 2018 of the Subject Property no federally or state-listed species were observed on the Subject Property. No potentially suitable habitat for federally or state-listed species was observed on the Subject Property. It is CESI’s professional judgment that no listed species are anticipated to be impacted by the proposed project activities.

Recommendations It is CESI’s professional judgement that no further action in regard to federally or state-listed species is required for the proposed project at this time. Impact determinations were made based on the presence of potentially suitable habitat and the nature of the proposed impacts.

Should any T&E species be observed at any point during construction, work should immediately cease and USFWS and/or TPWD should be notified to avoid any instance of a “take.” The situation should then be assessed by a qualified environmental specialist before proceeding with any given action.

Consideration should be taken for migratory birds under the MBTA. If proposed project clearing activities are expected to occur during migratory bird season between March 15 and September 15, it is recommended that migratory birds and trees with active migratory bird nests are avoided.

Activities that are most likely to result in a take of migratory birds include, but are not limited to, clearing of migratory bird nesting habitat during the nesting season when eggs or young are likely to be present. Clarification of these regulations can be found in the 2003 Migratory Bird Permit Memorandum, included in Appendix D. If the permitted activities are anticipated to result in a take of a migratory bird or its active nest, CESI can assist in applying for a take permit (USFWS Form 300-02-10f) and submitting the form to the following office:

Federal and State Regulations

Federal Regulations Since 1973, the ESA has regulated a wide range of activities affecting flora and fauna classified as endangered or threatened. A threatened classification is assigned to a species that is likely to become endangered in all or a significant portion of its range within the foreseeable future. A species is defined as “any species or subspecies of fish, wildlife, or plant, and also includes any variety of plant, or any distinct population segment of any vertebrate species, that interbreeds when mature.”

Reauthorized in 1988, provisions of the ESA apply only to species listed in the Federal Register as endangered or threatened. Under the provisions of the ESA, all federal agencies are required to undertake programs for the conservation of T&E species, and are prohibited from authorizing, funding, or carrying out any action that would jeopardize a listed species or destroy or alter its critical habitat.

Specifically, the ESA prohibits unpermitted acts, by anyone or any organization, such as:  Importation and exportation of endangered species from the United States  Taking (killing, capturing, collecting, harming, harassing, pursuing, hunting, trapping) listed-species within the United States and territorial waters  Taking listed-species on the high seas  Possessing, delivering, selling, carrying, transporting, or shipping any such species unlawfully taken within the United States or on the high seas  Selling or offering for sale any such species in interstate or foreign commerce

Individuals killed or harmed during the construction or operation of any type of facility would be considered “take.” The ESA also provides for the protection of habitat that is critical to the survival and recovery of the species, and for the creation of a recovery plan for each listed species.

A species may be classified as endangered when it is in danger of extinction within the foreseeable future in all or a significant portion of its range. Excluded are those species of the Class Insecta deemed by the secretary to be pests presenting an overwhelming and overriding risk to man. Additionally, actions affecting species proposed for listing would require the same coordination with state and federal agencies as those actions affecting listed species.

The USFWS and the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) share responsibility for administration of the ESA. In general, the USFWS is responsible for terrestrial and freshwater species and migratory birds, while the NMFS regulates and protects marine species and anadromous fish. Additionally, the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) of the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) oversees importation and exportation of listed terrestrial plants.

Federal and State Regulations

State Regulations In 1973, the Texas legislature authorized the TPWD to establish a list of threatened and endangered animal species in the state. Laws pertaining to these threatened and endangered animal species are contained in Chapters 67 and 68 of the Texas Parks and Wildlife Code, and Sections 65.171-65.176 of Title 31 of the Texas Administrative Code.

In 1988, the Texas legislature authorized TPWD to create a list of threatened and endangered plant species for the state. Laws and regulations pertaining to threatened or endangered plant species are contained in Chapter 88 of the Texas Parks and Wildlife Code, and Sections 69.01-69.14 of the Texas Administrative Code.

 Endangered species: species named by the director of TPWD as being threatened with statewide extinction.  Threatened species: species deemed by TPWD as likely to become endangered in the future.  Endangered plant: a plant that is in danger of extinction throughout all or a significant portion of its range.  Threatened plant: a plant likely to become endangered within the foreseeable future.  Rare species: species that are listed as “Species Greatest Conservation Need” (SGCN) by TPWD but have no regulatory listing status. SGCN species have limited distributions and/or declining populations and face the threat of extirpation of extinction but lack legal protection.

TPWD regulations prohibit the unpermitted taking, possession, transportation, or sale of any species designated by state law as threatened or endangered. State laws and regulations prohibit commerce in threatened and endangered plants, and the collection of listed species on public land without a permit issued by TPWD. These laws apply to individuals, municipalities, and all organizations.

Mr. Pauling,

The Texas Natural Diversity Database (TXNDD) staff provides the following information in response to your request for data. Please read this entire message for important information regarding your request, additional data sources, and project review.

Data

The TXNDD includes federal and state listed and tracked Threatened, Endangered, and Rare species. Please note that areas where Element Occurrence (EO) data are absent should not be interpreted as an absence of Threatened, Endangered, and Rare species. Given the small proportion of public versus private land in Texas, the TXNDD does not include a representative inventory of rare resources in the state. Data from the TXNDD do not provide a definitive statement as to the presence, absence, or condition of special species, natural communities, or other significant features within your project area. These data cannot substitute for an on- site evaluation by qualified biologists.

Attached documents

The attached .zip file contains several documents that will guide you in appropriate use, restrictions, and interpretation of TXNDD data as well as a reporting form for submitting data to the TXNDD. The .zip file also includes additional supplemental documents. Below is a list of the files in the attached folder:

· Shapefile (eo_[last name of requestor]_yyyymmdd.zip) of the Threatened, Endangered and Rare species Element Occurrences made from information the TXNDD presently has available for the requested quad(s) (or within the requested county, by requested species when applicable).

· EO Report (eoreport_[last name of requestor]_yyyymmdd.pdf) of the EOs in the shapefile mentioned above. The EO Report includes more detailed information about each EO than what is contained in the attribute table of the shapefile. Link the information in the shapefile to the information in the EO Report by EO ID. Note that if the number of records in your request area is large, this report may not be included; however, if, in this circumstance, you would like more detailed information about a particular EO, species, or smaller geographic area, you may request those data.

IPaC U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service IPaC resource list

This report is an automatically generated list of species and other resources such as critical habitat (collectively referred to as trust resources) under the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's (USFWS) jurisdiction that are known or expected to be on or near the project area referenced below. The list may also include trust resources that occur outside of the project area, but that could potentially be directly or indirectly aected by activities in the project area. However, determining the likelihood and extent of eects a project may have on trust resources typically requires gathering additional site-specic (e.g., vegetation/species surveys) and project-specic (e.g., magnitude and timing of proposed activities) information.

Below is a summary of the project information you provided and contact information for the USFWS oce(s) with jurisdiction in the dened project area. Please read the introduction to each section that follows (Endangered Species, Migratory Birds, USFWS Facilities, and NWI Wetlands) for additional information applicable to the trust resources addressed in that section.

Endangered species

This resource list is for informational purposes only and does not constitute an analysis of project level impacts.

The primary information used to generate this list is the known or expected range of each species. Additional areas of inuence (AOI) for species are also considered. An AOI includes areas outside of the species range if the species could be indirectly aected by activities in that area (e.g., placing a dam upstream of a sh population, even if that sh does not occur at the dam site, may indirectly impact the species by reducing or eliminating water ow downstream). Because species can move, and site conditions can change, the species on this list are not guaranteed to be found on or near the project area. To fully determine any potential eects to species, additional site-specic and project-specic information is often required.

Section 7 of the Endangered Species Act requires Federal agencies to "request of the Secretary information whether any species which is listed or proposed to be listed may be present in the area of such proposed action" for any project that is conducted, permitted, funded, or licensed by any Federal agency. A letter from the local oce and a species list which fullls this requirement can only be obtained by requesting an ocial species list from either the Regulatory Review section in IPaC (see directions below) or from the local eld oce directly.

For project evaluations that require USFWS concurrence/review, please return to the IPaC website and request an ocial species list by doing the following: https://ecos.fws.gov/ipac/project/SFCJNMTNOBD3LJONIAXVIE3Y5Y/resources 1/5 7/12/2017 IPaC: Resources

What does IPaC use to generate the list of migratory bird species potentially occurring in my specied location?

Landbirds:

Migratory birds that are displayed on the IPaC species list are based on ranges in the latest edition of the National Geographic Guide, Birds of North America (6th Edition, 2011 by Jon L. Dunn, and Jonathan Alderfer). Although these ranges are coarse in nature, a number of U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service migratory bird biologists agree that these maps are some of the best range maps to date. These ranges were clipped to a specic Bird Conservation Region (BCR) or USFWS Region/Regions, if it was indicated in the 2008 list of Birds of Conservation Concern (BCC) that a species was a BCC species only in a particular Region/Regions. Additional modications have been made to some ranges based on more local or rened range information and/or information provided by U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service biologists with species expertise. All migratory birds that show in areas on land in IPaC are those that appear in the 2008 Birds of Conservation Concern report.

Atlantic Seabirds:

Ranges in IPaC for birds o the Atlantic coast are derived from species distribution models developed by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association (NOAA) National Centers for Coastal Ocean Science (NCCOS) using the best available seabird survey data for the oshore Atlantic Coastal region to date. NOAANCCOS assisted USFWS in developing seasonal species ranges from their models for specic use in IPaC. Some of these birds are not BCC species but were of interest for inclusion because they may occur in high abundance o the coast at dierent times throughout the year, which potentially makes them more susceptible to certain types of development and activities taking place in that area. For more rened details about the abundance and richness of bird species within your project area o the Atlantic Coast, see the Northeast Ocean Data Portal. The Portal also oers data and information about other types of taxa that may be helpful in your project review.

About the NOAANCCOS models: the models were developed as part of the NOAANCCOS project: Integrative Statistical Modeling and Predictive Mapping of Marine Bird Distributions and Abundance on the Atlantic Outer Continental Shelf. The models resulting from this project are being used in a number of decision- support/mapping products in order to help guide decision-making on activities o the Atlantic Coast with the goal of reducing impacts to migratory birds. One such product is the Northeast Ocean Data Portal, which can be used to explore details about the relative occurrence and abundance of bird species in a particular area o the Atlantic Coast.

All migratory bird range maps within IPaC are continuously being updated as new and better information becomes available.

Can I get additional information about the levels of occurrence in my project area of specic birds or groups of birds listed in IPaC?

Landbirds:

The Avian Knowledge Network (AKN) provides a tool currently called the "Histogram Tool", which draws from the data within the AKN (latest,survey, point count, citizen science datasets) to create a view of relative abundance of species within a particular location over the course of the year. The results of the tool depict the frequency of detection of a species in survey events, averaged between multiple datasets within AKN in a particular week of the year. You may access the histogram tools through the Migratory Bird Programs AKN Histogram Tools webpage.

The tool is currently available for 4 regions (California, Northeast U.S., Southeast U.S. and Midwest), which encompasses the following 32 states: Alabama, Arkansas, California, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, North, Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Tennessee, Vermont, Virginia, West Virginia, and Wisconsin.

In the near future, there are plans to expand this tool nationwide within the AKN, and allow the graphs produced to appear with the list of trust resources generated by IPaC, providing you with an additional level of detail about the level of occurrence of the species of particular concern potentially occurring in your project area throughout the course of the year.

Atlantic Seabirds:

https://ecos.fws.gov/ipac/project/SFCJNMTNOBD3LJONIAXVIE3Y5Y/resources 4/5 7/12/2017 IPaC: Resources

For additional details about the relative occurrence and abundance of both individual bird species and groups of bird species within your project area o the Atlantic Coast, please visit the Northeast Ocean Data Portal. The Portal also oers data and information about other taxa besides birds that may be helpful to you in your project review. Alternately, you may download the bird model results les underlying the portal maps through the NOAANCCOS Integrative Statistical Modeling and Predictive Mapping of Marine Bird Distributions and Abundance on the Atlantic Outer Continental Shelf project webpage.

Wetlands in the National Wetlands Inventory

Impacts to NWI wetlands and other aquatic habitats may be subject to regulation under Section 404 of the Clean Water Act, or other State/Federal statutes.

For more information please contact the Regulatory Program of the local U.S. Army Corps of Engineers District.

This location overlaps the following wetlands:

FRESHWATER POND PUBFx

A full description for each wetland code can be found at the National Wetlands Inventory website: https://ecos.fws.gov/ipac/wetlands/decoder

Data limitations

The Service's objective of mapping wetlands and deepwater habitats is to produce reconnaissance level information on the location, type and size of these resources. The maps are prepared from the analysis of high altitude imagery. Wetlands are identied based on vegetation, visible hydrology and geography. A margin of error is inherent in the use of imagery; thus, detailed on-the-ground inspection of any particular site may result in revision of the wetland boundaries or classication established through image analysis.

The accuracy of image interpretation depends on the quality of the imagery, the experience of the image analysts, the amount and quality of the collateral data and the amount of ground truth verication work conducted. Metadata should be consulted to determine the date of the source imagery used and any mapping problems.

Wetlands or other mapped features may have changed since the date of the imagery or eld work. There may be occasional dierences in polygon boundaries or classications between the information depicted on the map and the actual conditions on site.

Data exclusions

Certain wetland habitats are excluded from the National mapping program because of the limitations of aerial imagery as the primary data source used to detect wetlands. These habitats include seagrasses or submerged aquatic vegetation that are found in the intertidal and subtidal zones of estuaries and nearshore coastal waters. Some deepwater reef communities (coral or tubercid worm reefs) have also been excluded from the inventory. These habitats, because of their depth, go undetected by aerial imagery.

Data precautions

Federal, state, and local regulatory agencies with jurisdiction over wetlands may dene and describe wetlands in a dierent manner than that used in this inventory. There is no attempt, in either the design or products of this inventory, to dene the limits of proprietary jurisdiction of any Federal, state, or local government or to establish the geographical scope of the regulatory programs of government agencies. Persons intending to engage in activities involving modications within or adjacent to wetland areas should seek the advice of appropriate federal, state, or local agencies concerning specied agency regulatory programs and proprietary jurisdictions that may aect such activities.

HARRIS COUNTY AMPHIBIANS Federal Status State Status Houston toad Anaxyrus houstonensis LE E endemic; sandy substrate, water in pools, ephemeral pools, stock tanks; breeds in spring especially after rains; burrows in soil of adjacent uplands when inactive; breeds February-June; associated with soils of the Sparta, Carrizo, Goliad, Queen City, Recklaw, Weches, and Willis geologic formations Southern Crawfish Frog Lithobates areolatus areolatus The Southern Crawfish Frog can be found in abandoned crawfish holes and small mammal burrows. This species inhabits moist meadows, pasturelands, pine scrub, and river flood plains. This species spends nearly all of its time in burrows and only leaves the burrow area to breed. Although this species can be difficult to detect due to its reclusive nature, the call of breeding males can be heard over great distances. Eggs are laid and larvae develop in temporary water such as flooded fields, ditches, farm ponds and small lakes. Habitat: Shallow water, Herbaceous Wetland, Riparian, Temporary Pool, Cropland/hedgerow, Grassland/herbaceous, Suburban/orchard, Woodland – Conifer.

BIRDS Federal Status State Status American Peregrine Falcon Falco peregrinus anatum DL T year-round resident and local breeder in west Texas, nests in tall cliff eyries; also, migrant across state from more northern breeding areas in US and Canada, winters along coast and farther south; occupies wide range of habitats during migration, including urban, concentrations along coast and barrier islands; low-altitude migrant, stopovers at leading landscape edges such as lake shores, coastlines, and barrier islands. Arctic Peregrine Falcon Falco peregrinus tundrius DL migrant throughout state from subspecies’ far northern breeding range, winters along coast and farther south; occupies wide range of habitats during migration, including urban, concentrations along coast and barrier islands; low-altitude migrant, stopovers at leading landscape edges such as lake shores, coastlines, and barrier islands. Bald Eagle Haliaeetus leucocephalus DL T found primarily near rivers and large lakes; nests in tall trees or on cliffs near water; communally roosts, especially in winter; hunts live prey, scavenges, and pirates food from other birds Black Rail Laterallus jamaicensis salt, brackish, and freshwater marshes, pond borders, wet meadows, and grassy swamps; nests in or along edge of marsh, sometimes on damp ground, but usually on mat of previous year's dead grasses; nest usually hidden in marsh grass or at base of Salicornia Brown Pelican Pelecanus occidentalis DL largely coastal and near shore areas, where it roosts and nests on islands and spoil banks Henslow's Sparrow Ammodramus henslowii wintering individuals (not flocks) found in weedy fields or cut-over areas where lots of bunch grasses occur along with vines and brambles; a key component is bare ground for running/walking Texas Parks & Wildlife Dept. Page 2 of 6 Annotated County Lists of Rare Species HARRIS COUNTY BIRDS Federal Status State Status Mountain Plover Charadrius montanus breeding: nests on high plains or shortgrass prairie, on ground in shallow depression; nonbreeding: shortgrass plains and bare, dirt (plowed) fields; primarily insectivorous Peregrine Falcon Falco peregrinus DL T both subspecies migrate across the state from more northern breeding areas in US and Canada to winter along coast and farther south; subspecies (F. p. anatum) is also a resident breeder in west Texas; the two subspecies’ listing statuses differ, F.p. tundrius is no longer listed in Texas; but because the subspecies are not easily distinguishable at a distance, reference is generally made only to the species level; see subspecies for habitat. Red Knot Calidris canutus rufa T Red knots migrate long distances in flocks northward through the contiguous United States mainly April- June, southward July-October. A small plump-bodied, short-necked shorebird that in breeding plumage, typically held from May through August, is a distinctive and unique pottery orange color. Its bill is dark, straight and, relative to other shorebirds, short-to-medium in length. After molting in late summer, this species is in a drab gray-and-white non-breeding plumage, typically held from September through April. In the non-breeding plumage, the knot might be confused with the omnipresent Sanderling. During this plumage, look for the knot’s prominent pale eyebrow and whitish flanks with dark barring. The Red Knot prefers the shoreline of coast and bays and also uses mudflats during rare inland encounters. Primary prey items include coquina clam (Donax spp.) on beaches and dwarf surf clam (Mulinia lateralis) in bays, at least in the Laguna Madre. Wintering Range includes- Aransas, Brazoria, Calhoun, Cameron, Chambers, Galveston, Jefferson, Kennedy, Kleberg, Matagorda, Nueces, San Patricio, and Willacy. Habitat: Primarily seacoasts on tidal flats and beaches, herbaceous wetland, and Tidal flat/shore. Red-cockaded Woodpecker Picoides borealis LE E cavity nests in older pine (60+ years); forages in younger pine (30+ years); prefers longleaf, shortleaf, and loblolly Snowy Plover Charadrius alexandrinus formerly an uncommon breeder in the Panhandle; potential migrant; winter along coast Sprague's Pipit Anthus spragueii only in Texas during migration and winter, mid September to early April; short to medium distance, diurnal migrant; strongly tied to native upland prairie, can be locally common in coastal grasslands, uncommon to rare further west; sensitive to patch size and avoids edges.

EO Data: 1986-09-27: A single large plant with many flowering stems. On label, Brown noted: "unusual specimen in that the spikelets are too small for [S.] tharpii and too large for [S.] wrightii." Brown apparently eventually decided to call it S. tharpii; the specimen was annotated as such by S. L. Hatch, July 1993.

General Strictly within small but conspicuous, discrete 'bare' (sparsely vegetated) areas within larger interconnected Description: grassland openings rimmed by water oak-yaupon woodlands; grasslands with dense cover of Spartina spartinae, Muhlenbergia capillaris, Iva angustifolia, Iva annua, etc.; 'bare areas' with somewhat saline, fine-textured soils that in this season are rock-hard on surface and considerably drier than adjacent soils; soils mapped as Clodine loam, however, this plant (as well as Hymenoxys texana, Liatris bracteata, and Machaeranthera aurea) may be associated with Narta soils, which are somewhat poorly drained saline soils; pimple mounds are not conspicuous at this site.

Comments: A soil analysis at one site revealed a high concentration of salts in the light sandy soil of the bare spots and lower level of the same salts in darker soils from which H. texana (and this plant) was absent; presumably these Narta soils are the soils found on lower sloping portions of mima or pimple mounds.

2003 Migratory Bird Permit Memorandum 50 CFR 10.13

United States Department of the Interior

FISH AND WILDLIFE SERVICE Washington, D C 20240 MBPM-2 Date: APR 15,

MIGRATORY BIRD PERMIT MEMORANDUM

SUBJECT: Nest Destruction

PURPOSE: The purpose of the memorandum is to clarify the application of the Migratory Bird Treaty Act (MBTA) to migratory bird nest destruction, and to provide guidance for advising the public regarding this issue.

POLICY: The MBTA does not contain any prohibition that applies to the destruction of a migratory bird nest alone (without birds or eggs), provided that no possession occurs during the destruction. To minimize MBTA violations, Service employees should make every effort to inform the public of how to minimize the risk of taking migratory bird species whose nesting behaviors make it difficult to determine occupancy status or continuing nest dependency.

The MBTA specifically protects migratory bird nests from possession, sale, purchase, barter, transport, import, and export, and take. The other prohibitions of the MBTA - capture, pursue, hunt, and kill - are inapplicable to nests. The regulatory definition of take, as defined by 50 CFR 10.12, means to pursue, hunt, shoot, wound, kill, trap, capture, or collect, or attempt hunt, shoot, wound, kill, trap, capture, or collect. Only collect applies to nests.

While it is illegal to collect, possess, and by any means transfer possession of any migratory bird nest, the MBTA does not contain any prohibition that applies to the destruction of a bird nest alone (without birds or eggs), provided that no possession occurs during the destruction. The MBTA does not authorize the Service to issue permits in situations in which the prohibitions of the Act do not apply, such as the destruction of unoccupied nests. (Some unoccupied nests are legally protected by statutes other than the MBTA, including nests of threatened and endangered migratory bird species and bald and golden eagles, within certain parameters.)

However, the public should be made aware that, while destruction of a nest by itself is not prohibited under the MBTA, nest destruction that results in the unpermitted take of migratory birds or their eggs, is illegal and fully prosecutable under the MBTA.

Due to the biological and behavioral characteristics of some migratory bird species, destruction of their nests entails an elevated degree of risk of violating the MBTA. For example, colonial nesting birds are highly vulnerable to disturbance; the destruction of unoccupied nests during or near the nesting season could result in a significant level of take. Another example involves ground nesting species such as burrowing owls and bank swallows, which nest in cavities in the ground, making it difficult to detect whether or not their nests are occupied by eggs or nestlings or are otherwise still essential to the survival of the juvenile birds. The Service should make every effort to raise public awareness regarding the possible presence of birds and the risk of violating the MBTA, the Endangered Species Act (ESA), and the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act (BGEPA), and should inform the public of factors that will help minimize the likelihood that take would occur should nests be destroyed (i.e., when active nesting season normally occurs).

The Service should also take care to discern that persons who request MBTA permits for nest destruction are not targeting nests of endangered or threatened species or bald or golden eagles, so that the public can be made aware of the prohibitions of the ESA and the BGEPA against nest destruction.

In situations where it is necessary (i.e., for public safety) to remove (destroy) a nest that is occupied by eggs or nestlings or is otherwise still essential to the survival of a juvenile bird, and a permit is available pursuant to 50 CFR parts 13 and 21, the Service may issue a permit to take individual birds.
