TABLE 3 <br /> SPECIAL-STATUS PLANT AND WILDLIFE SPECIES DOCUMENTED OR POTENTIALLY-OCCURRING IN THE PROJECT VICINITY <br /> Common Federal State CNPS <br /> Name Scientific Name Statusl Status2 List3 Habitat Potential for Occurrence in the Project Site <br /> California tiger Ambystoma T T N/A Seasonal water Unlikely: there is no suitable habitat within or near the site for <br /> salamander californiense bodies without fish California tiger salamander. This species occurs in the <br /> (i.e., vernal pools transitional bands between the valley floor and foothills. The <br /> and stock ponds) nearest occurrence of California tiger salamander in the <br /> and grassland/ CNDDB (2021) search area is a historical record (1923) in <br /> woodland habitats downtown Stockton, approximately 4.5 miles northwest of <br /> with summer refugia the site. The site is not within designated critical habitat for <br /> (i.e., burrows). California tiger salamander (USFWS, 2005a). <br /> Giant garter Thamnophis T T N/A Freshwater marsh Unlikely: Duck Creek provides marginal, yet potentially <br /> snake gigas and low gradient suitable habitat for giant garter snake. The nearest <br /> streams; also uses occurrence of this species in the CNDDB (2021) search area <br /> drainage canals and is approximately 3.5 miles north of the site. <br /> irrigation ditches for <br /> dispersal or <br /> migration. <br /> Western Spea None SC N/A Breeds and lays Unlikely: although some portions of Duck Creek may provide <br /> spadefoot hammondii eggs in seasonal higher quality habitat for western pond turtle, the section of <br /> water bodies such as creek in and adjacent to the site lacks adequate basking <br /> deep vernal pools or habitat for this species. Upland habitats adjacent to the site <br /> stock ponds. are highly disturbed and do not provide high quality nesting <br /> habitat for this species. The nearest occurrence of western <br /> pond turtle in the CNDDB (2021) search area is <br /> approximately 4 miles west of the project site. <br /> Western pond Emys None SC N/A Marshes, creeks, Unlikely: the intermittent creeks in the site are potentially <br /> turtle marmorata and diches with suitable for western pond turtle. There are no records of this <br /> aquatic vegetation species in the CNDDB (2021) search area. <br /> and basking areas. <br /> Fish <br /> Delta smelt Hypomesus T E N/A Shallow lower delta None: there is no suitable aquatic habitat in the site for delta <br /> transpacificus waterways with smelt. The nearest occurrence of this species in the CNDDB <br /> submersed aquatic (2021) approximately 6.5 miles northwest of the site. The <br /> plants and other project site is not in designated critical habitat for delta smelt <br /> suitable refugia. (USFWS, 1994). <br /> 3009 Pock Lane: Biology 17 November 24, 2021 <br />
