DOLLAR GENERAL STORE - ROUGH & READY

INTRODUCTION

Land use regulations promulgated by Nevada County require that a site-specific biological inventory be prepared and submitted along with permit applications for development projects. This report presents the findings of a winter 2014 survey for special status and wildlife species and other protected resources at the proposed Rough and Ready Dollar Store, located in the City of Grass Valley, in close proximity to the City of Rough and Ready.

All biological resources were considered in the survey. In summary, no special- status plant or animal species were observed at the site. Included with this Biological Inventory report are tables for special-status plant and animal species that could potentially occur at the site, together with lists of the flora and wildlife observed on site.

It is not anticipated that any protected wildlife or plant species will be impacted by this project, and thus there are no mitigation plans or protective measures required at this time. However, if this project should require tree removal after March 1 and before September 30 of any given year, then nesting migratory bird and raptor surveys would be required and, if appropriate, certain mitigation steps as outlined below.

Project Description

The proposed project includes the site development and construction of a 9,100 square foot Dollar General retail store with convenient parking slots, bike parking, and landscaping around the perimeter; egress/ingress is on what is considered an in-fill parcel. The planned development will involve removal of the existing vegetation at the site and its replacement by landscaping and horticultural .

stationery, prepaid phones and accessories, gardening supplies, hardware, automotive, and home office supplies; and home products comprising kitchen supplies, cookware, small appliances, light bulbs, storage containers, frames, candles, craft supplies and kitchen, bed, and bath soft goods. In addition, the company offers casual everyday apparel for infants, toddlers, girls, boys, women, and men, as well as socks, underwear, disposable diapers, shoes, and accessories. As of May 2, 2013, it operated 10,662 stores in 40 states. The company was formerly known as J.L. Turner & Son, Inc. and changed its name to Dollar General Corporation in 1968. Dollar General Corporation was founded in 1939 and is based in Goodlettsville, Tennessee.

Project Location

The physical address for the proposed Dollar Store is 12345 Rough and Ready Highway, Grass Valley, CA 95945-8511; at the southwest corner of West Drive; APN 52- 122-03. The project site lies on the west slope of the Foothills at ±2,500 feet elevation. The site is a ± 1.00 acre, fairly level parcel, currently used as a small business (?). The specific location is on the Grass Valley Quadrangle USGS 7.5’ topographic map, Section 20, Township 16 North, Range 8 East.

METHODS

Pre-field Survey

The purpose of the pre-field investigation was to review existing information and to prepare a list of special status species with potential to occur in the vicinity of the project area. Sources of information included are as follows:

Nevada County Zoning Regulations Chapter II of the Land Use and Development Code. Adopted 10-23-07. FIELD SURVEYS

Plants

Special-status plant species surveys were performed in December 2014. Surveys were conducted in a manner to identify any rare or endangered species that may be present during the blooming period. Survey protocols that were followed include Guidelines for Assessing the Effects of Proposed Projects on Rare, Threatened, and Endangered Plants and Natural Communities, Department of Fish and Game, December 9, 1983 (Revised May 8, 2000) and Guidelines for Conduction and Reporting Botanical Inventories for Federally Listed, Proposed and Candidate Plants, USFWS, 1996. Special status plant and animal species are attached as Appendix A and B, respectively,

The surveys were conducted using systematic field techniques to ensure a reasonably thorough coverage of potential impact areas. A meandering pattern was walked through the site to ensure that all areas were viewed. All plants at the site were identified to the level necessary to ascertain whether they were special status species.

Animals

A wildlife habitat assessment was performed in coordination with the plant surveys. Surveys were conducted to determine if habitats supported special-status animal species and raptor nest searches were performed during these surveys. Protocol level surveys for potentially occurring special-status animals were not conducted. The determination of presence for animal species that might possibly occur was based on habitat assessments, literature review, and queries through CNDDB.

A list of the flora observed on site during the special status plant species surveys is included in Appendix C. A list of wildlife observed on site during the surveys is included in Appendix D.

EXISTING CONDITIONS

Environmental Setting

The property is located in the Sierra Nevada foothills. This area of the county exhibits both oak woodlands and low-elevation montane forest with the typical shrub understory composed of manzanita chaparral. Most of the chaparral shrubs have thick,

COSTELLA ENVIRONMENTAL CONSULTING Page 4

DOLLAR GENERAL STORE - ROUGH & READY

stiff, leathery evergreen leaves, called “sclerophylls,” and they often form dense thickets along the hillslopes. This parcel, however, contains mostly non-native varieties of horticultural plants, with the exception of 1-Ponderosa pine (Pinus ponderosa) and 3- Grey pines (P. sabiniana). A biological resources map of the project site is attached as Appendix E and photographs of the project site are included as Appendix F.

The property contains one small building, probably a business at an earlier time, and it is situated in a residential area with several small commercial businesses sporadically located along Highway 20.

Climate

Northern California has a Mediterranean climate with warm to hot, dry summers, and wet, cool, rainy winters. Summer is very dry but thunderstorms may occur. Average maximum temperature (F) is 70° and average minimum temperature is 46°. Average total precipitation (in.) is 34 and average total snowfall is 4 with no snow depth (pack) for this elevation (Western Regional Climate Center).

SPECIAL STATUS SPECIES

Special-status species were considered for this project by a review of the California Natural Diversity Database (CNDDB), CNPS literature, and database information provided by the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Grass Valley Quad database December 2014).

Review of the Nevada County General Plan for Wildlife and Vegetation for the study area demonstrates that the project site is not located on lands shown to contain Serpentine Rock or Gabbro soils. Search of the California Natural Diversity database indicates there are no rare, threatened, or endangered species on the site. The project is not located within a sensitive natural community of the County, state, or any federal agency, including but not limited to an Ecological Preserve or USFWS Recovery Plan boundaries. The project site (study area) is not located within a Rare Plant Mitigation site, nor is it within any major migratory wildlife corridor. Because of the small size, and the fact it is an in-fill site, no impacts would be anticipated.

No special status species were observed during these surveys, nor would any be likely to occur within this environment. The site was heavily modified at an earlier time, converted into a garden and lawn, and probably irrigated and mowed regularly during

COSTELLA ENVIRONMENTAL CONSULTING Page 5

DOLLAR GENERAL STORE - ROUGH & READY

the dry season. It would be highly unusual to find any of the special status species "adapted" to such a tailored regime.

Critical Migratory Deer Winter Ranges

GIS information highlighting all major deer migration corridors, critical range, and critical fawning areas in Nevada County indicates that the project area does not contain any known major deer migration corridors, known deer holding area, nor critical deer fawning area(s). The on-site surveys of the property were consistent with the GIS data map (Appendix G).

DISCUSSION OF IMPACTS AND RECOMMENDED MITIGATION

Impacts to Nesting Raptors and Migratory Birds

The potential exists for impacts to raptors and migratory birds that are protected under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act, Fish and Game Code of California (FG&C), to occur on, or in the vicinity of the site through the construction activities of tree and vegetation removal, ground disturbances, heavy equipment use, and various other noises that could impact nesting migratory birds.

Mitigation for Nesting Raptors and Migratory Birds - State and Federal Mitigation

For construction activities between March 1 and August 31, pre-construction surveys for nesting raptors and migratory birds should be conducted pursuant to California and Federal requirements. These surveys should be accomplished within 7 days prior to commencement of grading activities. An approved biologist should conduct all surveys. If active nests are found, an initial temporary nest disturbance buffer of a quarter-mile (1320 feet) shall be established. If project-related activities within the temporary nest disturbance buffer are determined to be necessary during the nesting season, then an on-site biologist/monitor experienced with raptor behavior shall be retained by the project proponent to monitor the nest, and shall, along with the project proponent, consult with the CDFW to determine the best course of action necessary to avoid nest abandonment or take of individuals. Work may be allowed to proceed within the temporary nest disturbance buffer if raptors are not exhibiting agitated behavior such as defensive flights at intruders, getting up from a brooding position, or flying off the nest. The designated on-site biologist/monitor shall be on-site daily while construction related activities are taking place and shall have the authority to stop work if raptors are exhibiting agitated behavior. In consultation with the CDFGW and depending on the behavior of the raptors, over time it may be determined that the

COSTELLA ENVIRONMENTAL CONSULTING Page 6

DOLLAR GENERAL STORE - ROUGH & READY

on-site biologist/monitor may no longer be necessary due to the raptors' acclimation to construction related activities. Any trees containing nests that must be removed as a result of project implementation shall be removed during the non-breeding season, however, the project proponent shall be responsible for off-setting the loss of any raptor nesting trees. The extent of any necessary compensatory mitigation shall be determined by the project proponent in consultation with the CDFW. Past recommended mitigation for the loss of nesting trees has been at a ratio of three trees for each nest tree removed during the non-nesting season. Recommendations for migratory birds are similar, although the buffer areas can be smaller, since the birds may tolerate disturbance from a closer distance. Buffer areas may start at 200 feet and be reduced according to the guidelines above.
