Below is language that we ask County to put in use permits or on the actual parcel map if a new one is being proposed. Use as much or little of the passage below as you feel appropriate, and if you talk to the applicant, please ask him to watch out for garter snakes, especially driving along those roads adjacent to the pond, as the snakes may be basking on it on a sunny day. If he sees a garter snake, he should contact either this office or the CDFG Natural Diversity Database. I have some flash cards that I got from CA Dept. of Pesticide Regulation on T&E species, including the garter snake. It has great photos and quick info on habitat and what to look for. I will send you some to distribute to landowners that may have species on their lands. Thanks for all your help, Nancy "This parcel contains potential habitat for endangered species.
