Could occur: Suitable habitat is available at the project site;however,there are little to no other indicators that the species might be present. Likely to occur: Habitat conditions,behavior of the species,known occurrences in the project vicinity,or other factors indicate a relatively high likelihood that the species would occur at the project site. Known to occur: The spades,or evidence of its presence,was observed at the project site during reconnaissance surveys,or was reported by others. USFWS=U.S.Fish and Wildlife Service DFG=California Department of Fish and Game CNPS=California Native Plant Society Source: Data compiled by EDAW in 2003 SPECIAL-STATUS PLANT SPECIES ^- The CNDDB and CNPS databases include many special-status plant occurrences in the general vicinity of the College Park site. However,many of these species are not expected to occur at the College Park site and are not discussed in this section because they are restricted to habitats that are not present at the College Park site, such as tidal marsh,alkali flats,and chaparral. Based on the database searches,reconnaissance surveys, and previously completed environmental documents, nine special-status plant species have potential to occur at the College Park site,and are listed in Table 4.10-1. These include bristly sedge(Carex comosa), slough thistle(Cirsium crassicaule),Delta button-celery(Eryngium racemosum),rose-mallow(Hibiscus lasiocarpus)(also known as California hibiscus),Delta tule pea(Lathyrus jepsonii var.jepsonir),Mason's lilaeopsis(Lilaeopsis masoniz),Delta mudwort(Limosella subulata), Sanford's arrowhead(Sagittaria sanfordii)(also known as Sanford's sagittaria), and blue skullcap(Scutellaria laterillora), (also known as mad-dog skullcap). Of these,the only plant listed as threatened or endangered is Delta button- College Park at Mountain House Specific Plan III Draft EIR EDAW San Joaquin County 4.10-7 Biological Resources
