Special Status Species D.1 USFWS Species Memo

Memorandum To: Dominique Kraft and Mary Nguyen, FTA Region 9 From: Hilda Lafebre, JPB cc: Leo Tidd, WSP Date: 10/22/2020 Re: DRAFT Guadalupe River Bridge Replacement Project- Section 7 Evaluation of USFWS Species The purpose of this memorandum is to summarize the evaluation of federally listed species under the jurisdiction of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) for the Guadalupe River Bridge Replacement Project (the project). Fish species in the jurisdiction of the National Marine Fisheries Service are being address through a separate Section 7 informal consultation process. The USFWS species list (updated 10/22/2020) identified eight threatened, endangered, or candidate species potentially present in the study area (see Attachment A). The study area does not contain any USFWS designated Critical Habitat. As detailed further below, the study area does not provide suitable habitat for any of the eight species identified by USFWS. Therefore, the project will have no effect on USFWS species pursuant to the Endangered Species Act and consultation with USFWS is not required. Study Area

The project spans the Guadalupe River approximately 1.6 miles upstream of the confluence with Los Gatos Creek and 8.5 miles upstream of the confluence with Alviso Slough in San Francisco Bay. The project study area consists of approximately 17 acres and includes the areas that could experience direct effects due to the project, as well as adjacent areas that could experience indirect effects (see Figure 1). The study area contains the following habitat types: developed land; aquatic (riverine); Freemont cottonwood forest; coast live oak woodland; wild oats and annual brome grassland; ornamental woodland; and a flood control basin that contains freshwater perennial marsh and seasonal wetlands. Field review of the study area habitats and a preliminary jurisdictional wetland/waters delineation occurred on December 12, 2018 and August 14, 2020. Plant Species

One plant species was included on the USFWS species list, the threatened Robust spineflower. However, the species was not present in the biological resources field review and the study area lacks appropriate habitat to support this species. Robust spineflower (Chorizanthe robusta var. robusta; federal Threatened)

Robust spineflower occurs in sandy or gravelly soils and is typically associated with chaparral, cismontane woodland, coastal dunes, or coastal scrub habitat.1 The study area occurs within the floodplain of the

Guadalupe River in Santa Clara Valley in primarily alluvial soils and lacks chaparral, cismontane woodland, coastal dune, or coastal scrub habitat. In addition to lacking suitable habitat/soils in the study area, the Robust spineflower was not observed in the biological resources field review. Therefore, robust spineflower has no potential to occur within the study area. The only two occurrences recorded by the California Natural Diversity Database (CNDDB) in Santa Clara County are considered “possibly extirpated”.2 One documented occurrence is listed as “Exact location unknown, Mapped in general vicinity of San Jose.” The second is listed as “Exact location unknown. Mapped in general vicinity of Los Gatos, southwest of San Jose.”

Invertebrate Species Two invertebrate species included on the USFWS species list, the threatened Bay checkerspot butterfly and endangered San Bruno elfin butterfly. However, the study area lacks appropriate habitat and is outside the range for both species. Bay checkerspot butterfly (Euphydryas editha bayensis; federal Threatened)

The Bay checkerspot butterfly (BCB) is restricted to serpentine grassland that supports its larval host plants, dwarf plantain (Plantago erecta) or purple owl’s clover (Castilleja exserta spp. exerta).3 Remaining populations of BCB are located in the southernmost portions of Santa Clara County, in higher elevations outside the floodplain of the Guadalupe River. The study area is within the floodplain of the Guadalupe River, largely composed of alluvial soils that are heavily saturated and unable to support the host plant species for BCB. 4 Serpentine soils are not present in the study area. In addition, the project site is well outside of the mapped historic and current range of BCB (Figure 2). Therefore, BCB has no potential to occur within the study area.

San Bruno elfin butterfly (Callophrys mossii bayensis; federal Endangered)

San Bruno elfin butterfly is restricted to coastal mountains adjacent to the San Francisco Bay —the remaining population occurs almost exclusively on San Bruno Mountain in northern San Mateo County.5 Its host plant is Sedum spathulifolium. The study area is in Santa Clara County, is approximately 39 miles southeast of San Bruno Mountain, is within the floodplain of the Guadalupe River, and the host plant is not present. Therefore, San Bruno elfin butterfly has no potential to occur within the study area.

Amphibian Species

Two amphibian species were included on the USFWS species list, the threatened California red-legged frog and the threatened California tiger salamander. However, neither species has potential to occur in

the study area due to extensive urbanization in and around the study area and the substantial distance between the study area and known occurrences of these species. California red-legged frog (Rana draytonii; federal Threatened)

In previous studies, the California red-legged frog (CRLF) was determined to be extirpated from the Santa Clara Valley and therefore has no potential to occur within the study area.6 This is due to extensive urbanization of the region, major disruption of the region’s hydrology, and competition/predation from nonnative wildlife.3 In addition, the project is not within mapped CRLF breeding habitat in the Santa Clara Valley Habitat Plan. The project is approximately 8.5 miles from the nearest documented occurrences and approximately 3.5 miles from the mapped refugia or dispersal habitat (Figure 3). California tiger salamander (Ambystoma californiense; federal Threatened)

California tiger salamander (CTS) is a grassland-obligate species, occurring most often in pond habitat complexes with extensive California ground squirrel (Otospermophilus beecheyi) and gopher (Thomomys spp.) burrow systems where it spends most of its life.8 In contrast, the study area does not contain suitable grassland habitat, contains a thick understory along the banks of Guadalupe River that would preclude CTS movement, and is isolated from occupied CTS habitat by extensive urbanization that has created a permanent migratory barrier to CTS. Like CRLF, CTS is likely extirpated from the Santa Clara Valley region due to extensive urbanization, major disruption of the region’s hydrology, and competition/predation from nonnative wildlife.6 CTS therefore has no potential to occur within the study area.

In addition, the project is not within mapped breeding or non-breeding habitat for CTS in the Santa Clara Valley Habitat Plan and is approximately 2.5 miles from the nearest documented occurrence, though occurrences within this area are listed as “possibly extirpated” in the CNDDB (Figure 4).

Fish Species

One fish was included on the USFWS species list, the threatened Delta smelt. However, the Delta smelt does not have the potential to occur in the study area because it is outside of the known range and is not a tidally influenced water.

Delta smelt (Hypomesus transpacificus; federal Threatened)

The study area is well outside of this species known range, which is limited to the northernmost portion of the San Francisco Bay and its confluence with the Sacramento Delta. 7 Additionally, Delta smelt are restricted to waters with tidal influence and the study area contains a reach of the Guadalupe River that is entirely freshwater. The study area is approximately 8.5 miles inland from the tidally-influenced Alviso Slough at the Guadalupe River’s confluence with San Francisco Bay. Delta smelt does not occur in the study area.

3 DRAFT

Bird Species Two bird species were included on the USFWS species list, the threatened California Ridgway’s Rail and the threatened California least tern. The study area lacks appropriate tidal marsh habitat to support these species; therefore, neither species has potential to occur in the study area.

California Ridgway’s (Clapper) Rail (Rallus longirostris obsoletus also Rallus obsoletus; federal Endangered)

The study area does not provide either foraging or nesting habitat for California Ridgway’s rail (CRR). As described in Zeiner et al 19908, clapper rails forage in higher marsh vegetation, along the mudflat interface, and along tidal creeks. The study area does not provide any of the described clapper rail foraging habitat. Additionally, reproduction is described in Zeiner et al as taking place in saline emergent wetlands, primarily along the lower zones with abundant cordgrass and in close proximity to tidal sloughs. The study area does not contain saline emergent wetlands, cordgrass, or tidal slough habitat, and is approximately 8.5 miles inland from the tidal influence of San Francisco Bay. All aquatic habitat in the study area is freshwater and unsuitable to CRR.

California least tern (Sterna antillarum browni; federal Endangered)

California least tern (CLT) is migratory, breeding in colonies in California in both Southern California and within the San Francisco Bay and likely wintering in South America.8 The study area does not provide either foraging or nesting habitat for this species. The California subspecies of the least tern, S. antillarum browni, prefers foraging near breeding colonies by diving for small fish. Breeding colonies are located on sandy soils with sparse vegetation near the ocean, lagoons, and bays.9 The study area is approximately 8.5 miles inland from the San Francisco Bay and aquatic habitat is entirely freshwater with abundant adjacent riparian vegetation, unlikely to support CLT. In addition, due to the state and federal listing status of CLT, the species is well-documented within California—the nearest documented CLT colony is approximately 20 miles northwest of the study area at Eden Landing Ecological Reserve in Union City, CA.9

Subject: Updated list of threatened and endangered species that may occur in your proposed project location, and/or may be affected by your proposed project

To Whom It May Concern:

The enclosed species list identifies threatened, endangered, proposed and candidate species, as well as proposed and final designated critical habitat, under the jurisdiction of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) that may occur within the boundary of your proposed project and/or may be affected by your proposed project. The species list fulfills the requirements of the Service under section 7(c) of the Endangered Species Act (Act) of 1973, as amended (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.).

Please follow the link below to see if your proposed project has the potential to affect other species or their habitats under the jurisdiction of the National Marine Fisheries Service: http://www.nwr.noaa.gov/protected_species/species_list/species_lists.html

New information based on updated surveys, changes in the abundance and distribution of species, changed habitat conditions, or other factors could change this list. Please feel free to contact us if you need more current information or assistance regarding the potential impacts to federally proposed, listed, and candidate species and federally designated and proposed critical habitat. Please note that under 50 CFR 402.12(e) of the regulations implementing section 7 of the Act, the accuracy of this species list should be verified after 90 days. This verification can be completed formally or informally as desired. The Service recommends that verification be completed by visiting the ECOS-IPaC website at regular intervals during project planning and implementation for updates to species lists and information. An updated list may be requested through the ECOS-IPaC system by completing the same process used to receive the enclosed list. 10/22/2020 Event Code: 08ESMF00-2021-E-00476 2

The purpose of the Act is to provide a means whereby threatened and endangered species and the ecosystems upon which they depend may be conserved. Under sections 7(a)(1) and 7(a)(2) of the Act and its implementing regulations (50 CFR 402 et seq.), Federal agencies are required to utilize their authorities to carry out programs for the conservation of threatened and endangered species and to determine whether projects may affect threatened and endangered species and/or designated critical habitat.

A Biological Assessment is required for construction projects (or other undertakings having similar physical impacts) that are major Federal actions significantly affecting the quality of the human environment as defined in the National Environmental Policy Act (42 U.S.C. 4332(2) (c)). For projects other than major construction activities, the Service suggests that a biological evaluation similar to a Biological Assessment be prepared to determine whether the project may affect listed or proposed species and/or designated or proposed critical habitat. Recommended contents of a Biological Assessment are described at 50 CFR 402.12.

If a Federal agency determines, based on the Biological Assessment or biological evaluation, that listed species and/or designated critical habitat may be affected by the proposed project, the agency is required to consult with the Service pursuant to 50 CFR 402. In addition, the Service recommends that candidate species, proposed species and proposed critical habitat be addressed within the consultation. More information on the regulations and procedures for section 7 consultation, including the role of permit or license applicants, can be found in the "Endangered Species Consultation Handbook" at: http://www.fws.gov/endangered/esa-library/pdf/TOC-GLOS.PDF

Please be aware that bald and golden eagles are protected under the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act (16 U.S.C. 668 et seq.), and projects affecting these species may require development of an eagle conservation plan (http://www.fws.gov/windenergy/ eagle_guidance.html). Additionally, wind energy projects should follow the wind energy guidelines (http://www.fws.gov/windenergy/) for minimizing impacts to migratory birds and bats.

Guidance for minimizing impacts to migratory birds for projects including communications towers (e.g., cellular, digital television, radio, and emergency broadcast) can be found at: http:// www.fws.gov/migratorybirds/CurrentBirdIssues/Hazards/towers/towers.htm; http:// www.towerkill.com; and http://www.fws.gov/migratorybirds/CurrentBirdIssues/Hazards/towers/ comtow.html.

We appreciate your concern for threatened and endangered species. The Service encourages Federal agencies to include conservation of threatened and endangered species into their project planning to further the purposes of the Act. Please include the Consultation Tracking Number in the header of this letter with any request for consultation or correspondence about your project that you submit to our office. 10/22/2020 Event Code: 08ESMF00-2021-E-00476 3

Project Name: Guadalupe River Bridge Replacement

Project Type: TRANSPORTATION

Project Description: The project is located in the City of San Jose, Santa Clara County, east of State Route 87 and north of Willow St. The Guadalupe River is crossed by two railroad bridges in this location, each carrying a single track. The downstream bridge (MT-1) is a wooden trestle structure constructed in 1935, while the upstream bridge is a concrete structure from 1990 (constructed as part of a Caltrans freeway project). The 1935 MT-1 bridge urgently needs to be replaced with a new structure in order to maintain safe and reliable operations for all users. The MT-1 bridge does not meet current railroad structural design standards (including seismic criteria). The existing MT-2 bridge does not require replacement and meets seismic criteria. The MT-1 and MT-2 bridges are located along a sharp meander of the Guadalupe River and the river exhibits a high degree of floodplain fill, channel confinement and bank failures. The geomorphic issues directly affect the safety and reliability of the railroad bridges by eroding directly towards the bridge abutments. To address these safety issues and protect the rail bridge asset, the Peninsula Corridor Joint Powers Board (JPB) proposes to widen the channel, replace the MT-1 bridge with a new, longer bridge, and to extend the southern end of the MT-2 bridge over the widened channel.
