DOLLAR GENERAL STORE PROPOSED SITE ROUGH and READY Nevada County, California January 30, 2015 BIOLOGICAL INVENTORY REPORT DOLLAR GENERAL STORE PROPOSED SITE ROUGH AND READY Nevada County, California January 30, 2015 Prepared for: Dan Biswas CJS Development II, LLC 5111 N. Scottsdale Road, Suite 200 Scottsdale, AZ 85250 Prepared by: Tina Costella Costella Environmental Consulting P.O. Box 215 Nevada City, CA 95959 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 plant 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 plants. Dollar General Store Retail Information The project is proposed by the Dollar General Corporation, a discount retailer that engages in the provision of various merchandise products in the United States. The company offers various consumable products, including paper and cleaning products such as paper towels, bath tissue, paper dinnerware, trash and storage bags, laundry, and other home cleaning supplies; packaged food, comprising cereals, canned soups and vegetables, condiments, spices, sugar, and flour; perishables consisting of milk, eggs, bread, frozen meals, beer, and wine; snacks that include candies, cookies, crackers, salty snacks, and carbonated beverages; over-the-counter medicines and personal care products, such as soap, body wash, shampoo, dental hygiene and foot care products; and pet supplies and pet food products. It also provides seasonal products, including decorations, toys, batteries, small electronics, greeting cards, COSTELLA ENVIRONMENTAL CONSULTING Page 2 DOLLAR GENERAL STORE - ROUGH & READY 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 Sierra Nevada 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: ° California Natural Diversity Data Base (CNDDB; December 2014). ° California Native Plant Society Inventory of Rare and Endangered Plants of California (CNPS 2003). ° Federal Endangered and Threatened Species that occur in or may be affected by Projects in the Grass Valley USFS 7.5 minute Quadrangle, updated December 2014. ° Jepson Manual: Higher Plants of California (Edited by B. G. Baldwin, et al. 2012). ° California Wildlife Habitat Relationships System (California Department of Fish and Game http://www.dfg.ca.gov/biogeodata/cwhr/cawildlife.aspx). ° Nevada County Natural Resources Report: A Scientific Assessment of Watersheds and Ecosystems (Beedy and Brussard 2002). COSTELLA ENVIRONMENTAL CONSULTING Page 3 DOLLAR GENERAL STORE - ROUGH & READY ° 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

Those just entering the world of plant identification will benefit from learning the diagnostic characteristics of the most important plant families in CA. Those with prior plant identification experience will be able to refresh their skills and increase their proficiency with more difficult groups such as the Poaceae (grasses) and Asteraceae (sunflowers). Emphasis will be placed on common groups of plants in Southern CA; however, information learned in this class will be readily applicable throughout CA and the world. Description: This is a 3-day introductory workshop. We will begin by teaching basic plant morphology with a focus on the structures necessary for plant ID. Participants will learn the specialized terminology necessary to identify plants in 15 common CA plant families. These families contain more than 5000 taxa, which account for more than 70% of the plant diversity in CA. Learning the characteristics of these plant families will reduce the amount of time required to key many plants to genus and species.

Its stems range up to 1 meter (3.3 feet) in length and generally lie flat on the ground. The leaves are palmately lobed (i.e., the lobes radiate out like fingers from the palm of a hand). The two outermost lobes are divided again. The 7 to 9 leaf lobes are narrow and lance- shaped. The distinctively shaped leaves distinguish Stebbins's morning glory from other California morning-glories. White flowers appear in May through June on stalks about 2 1/2 to 13 centimeters (1 to 5 inches) long. Each flower has two leaf-like bracts. The fruit is a slender capsule. See Hickman (1993) in General Information about California Plants, below, for a detailed description of the species. DISTRIBUTION Stebbins's morning glory grows in two localized areas near Pine Hill in the Sierra Nevada foothills of western El Dorado County.
