A Status Definitions – = no listing. Federal E = listed as endangered under the federal Endangered Species Act. T = listed as threatened under the federal Endangered Species Act. State E = listed as endangered under the California Endangered Species Act. Table E-1. Special-Status Plants Documented or Identified as Having the Potential to Occur at the Project Site Page 5 of 5 StatusA Distribution in California and Identification Occurrence at Species Fed/State/CRPR Habitats Monterey County Period Project Site R = listed as rare under the Cal. Native Plant Protection Act. This category is no longer used for newly listed plants, but some plants previously listed as rare retain this designation. California Rare Plant Rank 1B = rare, threatened, or endangered in California and elsewhere. 0.1 = Seriously threatened in California (over 80% of occurrences threatened/ high degree and immediacy of threat) 0.2 = Moderately threatened in California (20-80% of occurrences threatened/ moderate degree and immediacy of threat) 0.3 = Not very threatened in California (less than 20% of occurrences threatened/ low degree and immediacy of threat or no current threats known) CNPS 2014, CNDDB 2014, Calfora 2014, Baldwin et al. 2012 Table E-2.
