Regional CNDDB Occurrences of Federally

The boundaries of the various occurrences shown on this map do not depict the actual geographic limits of where special status plants or animals are currently found. Rather, circles show an approximate radius of land around one or more historic occurrences, within which the occurrences may be currently found. Other shapes depict an approximate zone within which one or more populations of plants were historically mapped. In some polygons, the historically mapped populations may no longer be extant, or the actual extent of any existing Burke’s population may be significantly smaller, as is the Goldfields #4 case withlisted plant species on the Sonoma County Airport site.

"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.

Location of work: Santa Rosa Plain, Sonoma County, California 2. Background: Burke’s goldfield (Lasthenia burkei), a small, slender annual herb in the sunflower family (Asteraceae), is known only from southern portions of Lake and Mendocino counties and from northeastern Sonoma County. Historically, 39 populations were known from the Santa Rosa Plain, two sites in Lake County, and one site in Mendocino County. The occurrence in Mendocino County is most likely extirpated. From north to south on the Santa Rosa Plain, the species ranges from north of the community of Windsor to east of the city of Sebastopol. The long-term viability of many populations of Burke’s goldfields is particularly problematic due to population decline. There are currently 20 known extant populations, a subset of which were inoculated into pools at constructed sites to mitigate the loss of natural populations in the context of development.

We, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, publish recovery plans, sometimes preparing them with the assistance of recovery teams, contractors, state agencies, Tribal agencies, and other affected and interested parties. Objectives will be attained and any necessary funds made available subject to budgetary and other constraints affecting the parties involved, as well as the need to address other priorities. Costs indicated for action implementation and time of recovery are estimates and subject to change. Recovery plans do not obligate other parties to undertake specific actions, and may not represent the views or the official positions of any individuals or agencies involved in recovery plan formulation, other than the Service. Recovery plans represent our official position only after they have been signed by the Director or Regional Director as approved. Approved recovery plans are subject to modification as dictated by new findings, changes in species status, and the completion of recovery actions. LITERATURE CITATION SHOULD READ AS FOLLOWS: U.S.

Pollinators in Peril: a Systematic Status Review of North American
POLLINATORS in Peril A systematic status review of North American and Hawaiian native bees Kelsey Kopec & Lori Ann Burd • Center for Biological Diversity • February 2017 Executive Summary hile the decline of European honeybees in the United States and beyond has been well publicized in recent years, the more than 4,000 species of native bees in North W America and Hawaii have been much less documented. Although these native bees are not as well known as honeybees, they play a vital role in functioning ecosystems and also provide more than $3 billion dollars in fruit-pollination services each year just in the United States. For this first-of-its-kind analysis, the Center for Biological Diversity conducted a systematic review of the status of all 4,337 North American and Hawaiian native bees. Our key findings: • Among native bee species with sufficient data to assess (1,437), more than half (749) are declining. • Nearly 1 in 4 (347 native bee species) is imperiled and at increasing risk of extinction. • For many of the bee species lacking sufficient population data, it’s likely they are also declining or at risk of extinction. Additional research is urgently needed to protect them. • A primary driver of these declines is agricultural intensification, which includes habitat destruction and pesticide use. Other major threats are climate change and urbanization. These troubling findings come as a growing body of research has revealed that more than 40 percent of insect pollinators globally are highly threatened, including many of the native bees critical to unprompted crop and wildflower pollination across the United States.

Bio Review Letter with Attachments
April 30, 2020 Betty Lou Hudson 17715 State Route 1 Marshall, California [email protected] RE: Biological Constraints Analysis of Residential Reconstruction Permitting Support Services, Marshall, Marin County, California (APN 106-270-05) Ms. Hudson, This letter provides a brief biological review and discussion of the methods and results of a September 12, 2019 site visit conducted by WRA, Inc. (WRA) to a private residence located at 17715 State Route 1, Marshall, Marin County (APN: 106-270-05; Study Area). In this letter we assess the protected species and sensitive habitats present at this property. Based on a review of the Study Area, there are no sensitive terrestrial (land) habitats; however, ornamental trees and shrubs may provide nesting bird habitat. Rocky to sandy intertidal aquatic habitat and eelgrass beds are present below the building structure. Special-status fish and marine mammals occur within the waters of Tomales Bay; however, due to the marginal habitat quality locally, incorporation of avoidance and minimization measures, and modifications of the Project design, any temporary project impacts will be minimal and are not expected to result in a significant change to the habitat’s existing condition. There are no wetland, stream, or riparian habitats, and there are no special-status plants that occur in the Study Area. SITE ASSESSMENT METHODS On September 12, 2019, a WRA biologist visited the Study Area (Attachment A, Figure 1) to determine (1) habitats present, (2) if existing conditions provide suitable habitat for any special- status plant or wildlife species, (3) the presence and extent of eelgrass habitat, which is subject to regulation under the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act (MSA) and Section 404(b)(1) of the Clean Water Act (and Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act), and (4) the location and extent of Environmentally Sensitive Habitat Areas (ESHAs), including wetlands, streams, and riparian areas, which may be subject to regulation under the California Coastal Act.

SEBASTOPOL MEADOWFOAM Limnanthes Vinculans
U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service Sacramento Fish & Wildlife Office Species Account SEBASTOPOL MEADOWFOAM Limnanthes vinculans CLASSIFICATION: Endangered Federal Register Notice 56:61173; December 2, 1991 http://ecos.fws.gov/docs/federal_register/fr1980.pdf (3.6 MB) STATE LISTING STATUS AND CNPS CODE: This species was listed as endangered by the California Department of Fish and Game in November 1979. The California Native Plant Society has placed it on List 1B (rare or endangered throughout its range). Sebastopol Meadowfoam Copyright © 1994 Dean Wm. Taylor CRITICAL HABITAT : None designated Jepson Herbarium RECOVERY PLAN : None 5-YEAR REVIEW : Completed 10/8/2008. No change. http://ecos.fws.gov/docs/five_year_review/doc1992.pdf DESCRIPTION: Sebastopol meadowfoam is a small (up to 12-inch tall), multi-stemmed herb of the false meadowfoam family (Limnanthaceae). Although the first leaves are narrow and undivided, leaves on the mature plant have three to five undivided leaflets along each side of a long stalk (petiole). The shape of the leaves distinguishes Sebastopol meadowfoam from other members of the Limnanthes genus. Small, bowl-shaped, white flowers appear April Close-Up of Sebastopol Meadowfoam through May. The white flowers are born singly at Mark W. Skinner @ USDA-NRCS PLANTS the end of stems. Database See Hickman (1993) in General Information about California Plants, below, for a detailed description of this species. VERNAL POOLS : Vernal pools are a unique kind of wetland ecosystem. Central to their distinctive ecology is their ephemeral nature. Vernal pools fill with water temporarily, typically during the winter and spring, and then disappear until the next rainy season.

Guidelines for Conducting and Reporting Botanical Inventories for Federally Listed Plants on the Santa Rosa Plain
Guidelines for Conducting and Reporting Botanical Inventories for Federally Listed Plants on the Santa Rosa Plain (modified from the September 23, 1996 Service Guidelines for Conducting and Reporting Botanical Inventories for Federally Listed, Proposed and Candidate Plants) These guidelines describe protocols for conducting botanical surveys for federally listed plant species on the Santa Rosa Plain. They also describe minimum standards for reporting results of the surveys. The federally listed plant species occurring on the Santa Rosa Plain are Sonoma sunshine (Blennosperma bakeri), Burke’s goldfields (Lasthenia burkei), Sebastopol meadowfoam (Limnanthes vinculans), and many-flowered navarretia (Navarretia leucocephala ssp. plieantha). The Service will use, in part, the information outlined below in determining whether the project under consideration may affect these plants, and in determining the direct, indirect, and cumulative effects. Field inventories should be conducted by a qualified botanist in a manner that will locate listed species that may be present. With the exception of developed agricultural lands, the entire project area should be surveyed. Acceptable survey protocols are as follows: 1. A minimum of three visits must be made to the project site during the growing season. Site visits must correspond to times when at least one of the four Santa Rosa Plain listed plant species is accurately identifiable on a local reference site. Reference sites used must be acceptable to the Service. Site visits must span a period during which all four of the listed plants have been observed (not necessarily at the same time) and are identifiable on reference sites during a specific growing season. More visits to the site or the adjacent area may be needed to determine when each species is blooming in a given year.
