APPENDIX E.1 <br /> SPECIAL-STATUS SPECIES <br /> The following special-status plant and animal species were considered during the preparation of <br /> this EIR. Their regulatory status, habitat association(s),the potential for the Proposed Project to <br /> affect a given species, and whether each species is covered by the San Joaquin Multiple Species <br /> Conservation Plan are presented in the table below. The"Potential for Project to Impact' <br /> 'r <br /> category is defined as follows: <br /> Unlikely: Project is unlikely to directly or indirectly affect species or its habitat, or <br /> project site is outside of the known range for the species. <br /> Low: Project may indirectly affect marginal habitat, no known populations would be <br /> affected. <br /> r <br /> Medium: Project may directly or indirectly affect suitable habitat,no known populations <br /> would be affected. <br /> High: Potentially suitable habitat would be directly affected, known populations may <br /> be affected. <br /> Listing <br /> Status Covered <br /> Scientific Name USFWS/ Potential for Project to by <br /> Common Name CDFG/CNPS General Habitat Impact SJMSCP <br /> Mammals <br /> Eumops perotis FSC/CSC/-- Isolated occurrences in Low.
