  • "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.

    MEMORANDUM Scott Batiuk To: Lynford Edwards, GGBHTD From: Plant and Wetland Biologist [email protected] Date: June 13, 2019 Verification of biological conditions associated with the Corte Madera 4-Acre Tidal Subject: Marsh Restoration Project Site, Professional Service Agreement PSA No. 2014- FT-13 On June 5, 2019, a WRA, Inc. (WRA) biologist visited the Corte Madera 4-Acre Tidal Marsh Restoration Project Site (Project Site) to verify the biological conditions documented by WRA in a Biological Resources Inventory (BRI) report dated 2015. WRA also completed a literature review to confirm that special-status plant and wildlife species evaluations completed in 2015 remain valid. Resources reviewed include the California Natural Diversity Database (California Department of Fish and Wildlife 20191), the California Native Plant Society’s Inventory of Rare and Endangered Plants (California Native Plant Society 20192), and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s Information for Planning and Consultation database (U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service 20193). Biological Communities In general, site conditions are similar to those documented in 2015. The Project Site is a generally flat site situated on Bay fill soil. A maintained berm is present along the western and northern boundaries. Vegetation within the Project Site is comprised of dense, non-native species, characterized primarily by non-native grassland dominated by Harding grass (Phalaris aquatica) and pampas grass (Cortaderia spp.). Dense stands of fennel (Foeniculum vulgare) are present in the northern and western portions on the Project Site. A small number of seasonal wetland depressions dominated by curly dock (Rumex crispus), fat hen (Atriplex prostrata) and brass buttons (Cotula coronopifolia) are present in the northern and western portions of the Project Site, and the locations and extent of wetlands observed are similar to what was documented in 2015.

    December 9, 2020 Greg Kidd Hard Yaka, Inc. P.O. Box 1186 Crystal Bay, NV 89402 Re: Biological Site Assessment at 69 Starbuck Drive, Muir Beach, Marin County (APN: 199- 201-03); WRA Project #30299 Mr. Kidd, The purpose of this letter report is to provide you the initial results of one site visit in support of the Biological Site Assessment (BSA) that WRA, Inc. conducted at 69 Starbuck Drive (APN 199- 201-03), Muir Beach, Marin County, California (Study Area; Attachment A). The approximately 0.77-acre Study Area is moderately sloped and northeast-facing, and is predominantly composed of hardscaped and landscaped areas. It is WRA’s understanding that you are interested in developing an accessory dwelling unit (ADU). Although WRA has not been provided with site- specific plans, the limited size of the parcel, presumed approximated footprint, and site visit results are sufficient to evaluate such a development. This report describes the results of the site visit for which the Study Area was assessed concerning: (1) the presence of land cover types protected under local, state, and federal laws and regulations (e.g., wetlands, oak woodlands) and (2) the presence and/or potential to support special-status plants and wildlife. This report also contains an evaluation of potential impacts to sensitive land cover and special-status species that may or may not occur as a result of the proposed project. SUMMARY OF FINDINGS No sensitive land cover types are present, and special-status plants and most special-status wildlife do not have the potential to occur within the Study Area.

  • 3.7 Biological Resources
    3.7 Biological Resources This section addresses the potential direct and indirect effects of implementation of the pro- posed General Plan on biological resources in Pacifica. The setting descriptions and impact analyses presented in this section are based on the review of existing documentation and bio- logical databases. Environmental Setting Pacifica’s varied topography creates a wide range of habitats in the City, including intertidal areas, beaches, ridges, coastal headlands, woodlands, grasslands, scrub, creeks, and wetlands. Most natural vegetation in the valley and canyon bottoms has been converted to develop- ment. However, intact native habitats persist along the riparian corridors of San Pedro, Cal- era, Rockaway, and Milagra Creeks, and on steep slopes. PLANT COMMUNITIES AND WILDLIFE HABITATS Plant communities are assemblages of plant species that recur in the landscape according to soil, climate, hydrological, and other conditions. The basis for the vegetation classification system utilized in this analysis relies on the currently accepted California Department of Fish and Wildlife1 List of Vegetation Alliances and Associations (also known as the Natural Communities List).2 Plant communities generally correlate with wildlife habitat types, and these typically are classified and evaluated using CDFW’s California Wildlife Habitat Rela- tionship classification system.3 Plant communities and wildlife habitats are described below and depicted in Figure 3.7-1, Vegetation. 1 The California Department of Fish and Game (CDFG) changed its name on January 1, 2013 to The California De- partment of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW). In this document, references to literature or databases published by CDFW prior to Jan. 1, 2013 are cited as ‘CDFG, [year]’.

  • Draft January 2018
    DRAFT BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES ASSESSMENT COPELAND CREEK DETENTION BASIN AND TRAIL PROJECT SONOMA COUNTY, CALIFORNIA Prepared for: City of Rohnert Park 130 Avram Avenue Rohnert Park, California 94928 Contact: Mary Grace Pawson Prepared by: 853 Lincoln Way Auburn, California 95603 Contact: Lisa Achter JANUARY 2018 January 9, 2018 9810 Mary Grace Pawson Director of Development Services City of Rohnert Park 130 Avram Avenue Rohnert Park, California 94928 Subject: Biological Resources Assessment for the Copeland Creek Detention Basin and Trail Project, Sonoma County, California Dear Ms. Pawson: In November of 2017, Dudek biologist Lisa Achter conducted a reconnaissance level general biological field survey at the Copeland Creek Detention Basin and Trail project site in Sonoma County, California (Figure 1). The focus of the survey was to characterize existing site conditions, document biological resources, and to summarize potential biological constraints associated with the proposed development and associated improvements to the site. A description of the methods and results of the biological survey and related recommendations is provided below. 1 SITE LOCATION AND PROJECT DESCRIPTION The 128-acre project site is located just east of the City of Rohnert Park, at 6626 Petaluma Hill Road (Figure 2). The project site is characterized by relatively flat terrain in the western portion of the site where the proposed detention basin will be located, and rolling hills in the eastern portion of the site where the trail will be located (Figure 2). Copeland Creek flows from east to west along the southern boundary and through the southwestern corner of the site.
