APPENDIX E <br /> SPECIAL STATUS SPECIES <br /> 4 The following special-status plant and animal species were considered during the preparation of this EIR. <br /> Their regulatory status, habitat association(s),the potential for the Proposed Project to affect a given <br /> 4 species,and whether each species is covered by the San Joaquin Multiple Species Conservation Plan are <br /> presented in the table below. The "Potential for Project to Impact'category is defined as follows: <br /> Unlikely: Project is unlikely to directly or indirectly affect species or its habitat, or project site is <br /> outside of the known range for the species. <br /> Low: Project may indirectly affect marginal habitat,no known populations would be <br /> +.. affected. <br /> Medium: Project may directly or indirectly affect suitable habitat,no known populations would <br /> V be affected. <br /> High: Potentially suitable habitat would be directly affected,known populations may be <br /> affected. <br /> Listing <br /> Scientific Name Status Covered <br /> USFWS/ Potential for Project to by <br /> Common name CDFG/CNPS General Habitat Impact SJMSCP <br /> Mammals <br /> Eumcps perotis FSC/CSC/-- Isolated occurrences in Low.
