Special-Status Species <br /> ' a) Delta smelt <br /> Discussion/Potential Impact The Weber Point Southbank Seawall project occurs within <br /> ' the boundaries of the legal Delta and is therefore included within the area considered as <br /> Critical Habitat for Delta smelt toss of habitat, individuals, or populations of this species <br /> would be a significant impact However, foraging habitat for larvae and adults of this species <br /> t is very marginal in Stockton Channel due to the lack of shallow water and aquatic vegetation <br /> In addition, there is no spawning habitat due to the lack of shallow water and aquatic/marsh <br /> vegetation Therefore, due to the lack of suitable spawning and foraging habitat, it is unlikely <br /> that this project will have an adverse impact on this species <br /> tMitigation No impact is anticipated and no mitigation is necessary <br /> ' b) Green sturgeon <br /> Discussion/Potential Impact Although this species could periodically occur in the Stockton <br /> Channel adjacent to the protect study area, it is unlikely that it would remain for any length of <br /> time due to the lack of foraging habitat In addition, there is no spawning habitat in Stockton <br /> ' Channel adjacent to the protect study area due to the lack of deep, fast flowing water It is <br /> unlikely that this project will have an adverse effect on this species <br /> Mitigation No impact is anticipated and no mitigation is necessary <br /> c) Pacific lamprey <br /> ' Discussion/Potential Impact• Although this species could periodically occur in the Stockton <br /> Channel adjacent to the project study area, it is unlikely that it would remain for any length of <br /> time due to the lack of foraging habitat In addition, there is no spawning habitat in Stockton <br /> ' Channel adjacent to the project study area due to the lack of clean, gravelly riffles It is <br /> unlikely that this project will have an adverse effect on this species <br /> Mitigation No impact is anticipated and no mitigation is necessary <br /> ' d lamprey <br /> � River P Y <br /> Discussionl Potential Impact Although this species could periodically occur in the Stockton <br /> ' Channel adjacent to the project study area, it is unlikely that it would remain for any length of <br /> time due to the lack of foraging habitat In addition, there is no spawning habitat in Stockton <br /> Channel adjacent to the project study area due to the lack of clean, gravelly riffles It is <br /> ' unlikely that this project will have an adverse effect on this species <br /> Mitigation No impact is anticipated and no mitigation is necessary <br /> ' e) Sacramento splittad <br /> Discussion/Potential Impact Loss of habitat, individuals, or populations of this species <br /> ' would be a significant impact However, foraging habitat for larvae and adults of this species <br /> is very marginal in Stockton Channel due to the lack of shallow water and aquatic vegetation <br /> In addition, there is no spawning habitat due to the lack of shallow water and aquatic/marsh <br /> SEA_BI04 DOC 9118197 Sycamore Environmental Consultants Inc 14 <br />
