adequate information to permit listing or rejection for state or federal status, such <br /> as those included on List 3 in the CNPS Inventory. <br /> The likelihood of occurrence of listed, candidate, and other special-status species <br /> in the work areas is generally low. Table 3 provides a summary of the listing <br /> status and habitat requirements of special-status species that have been <br /> documented in the greater project vicinity or for which there is potentially suitable <br /> habitat in the greater project vicinity. This table also includes an assessment of <br /> the likelihood of occurrence of each of these species in the site. The evaluation <br /> of the potential for occurrence of each species is based on the distribution of <br /> regional occurrences (if any), habitat suitability, and field observations. <br /> SPECIAL-STATUS PLANTS: Twelve (12) species of special-status plants were <br /> identified in the CNDDB (2021) search: alkali milk-vetch (Astragalus tener var. <br /> tener), heartscale (Atriplex cordulata var. cordulata), big tarplant (Blepharizonia <br /> plumosa), watershield (Brasenia schreberi), palmate-bracted salty bird's-beak <br /> (Chloropyron plamatum), recurved larkspur (Delphinium recurvatum), San <br /> Joaquin spearscale (Extriplex joaquinana), woolly rose mallow (Hibiscus <br /> lasiocarpos var. occidentalis), delta tule pea (Lathyrus jepsonii var.jepsonii), <br /> Sanford's arrowhead (Sagittaria sanfordii), Suisun marsh aster (Symphotrichum <br /> lentum), and saline clover (Trifolium hydrophilum) (Table 3 and Attachment B). <br /> No additional special-status species are identified in the USFWS IPaC Trust <br /> Report (Attachment B). <br /> Special-status plants generally occur in relatively undisturbed areas in vegetation <br /> communities such as vernal pools, marshes and swamps, seasonal wetlands, <br /> riparian scrub, and areas with unusual soils. All of the special-status plants <br /> identified in Table 3 occur in habitat types that do not occur in the site. The site <br /> contains ruderal grassland species that is routinely disked, The site has been <br /> historically farmed for decades and is not suitable for special-status plants. Due <br /> to its ephemeral flow regime, Beihle Drain does not contain marsh or swamp <br /> habitat required by several of the special-status plant species in Table 3; most of <br /> 2706 Pock Lane: Biology 12 November 23, 2021 <br />
