Breeding takes place in • streams, deep pools,backwaters within streams and creeks, ponds,marshes, and stock ponds. CRF can occur in ephemeral ponds or permanent streams and ponds;however, populations probably cannot persist in ephemeral streams (Jennings and Hayes 1985). Breeding ponds are typically deep (greater than 2 feet) with still or slow-moving water and dense, shrubby riparian . or emergent vegetation (Hayes and Jennings 1988—cited in USFWS 2002), although CRF have • also been observed in shallow sections of streams and ponds that are devoid of vegetative cover. • The project site is not located within federally designated CRF Critical Habitat. The CRF has • not been recorded within an approximate 20-mile radius of the study area (CNDDB 2018), and the species is not expected to occur within the study area due to the lack of suitable breeding habitat within or adjacent to the study area, and the rarity of occurrences of CRF within the
