and regional context �. If target species is(are) found. report results that additionally include: a. a map showing federally listed. proposed and candidate species distribution as they relate to the proposed project b. if target species is (are) associated with wetlands. a description of the direction and integrity of flow of surface hydrology. If target species is (are) affected by adjacent off-site hydrolog- ical influences. describe these factors. C. the target species phenology and microhabitat, an estimate of the number of individuals of each target species per unit area; identify areas of high, medium and low density of target species over the project site. and provide acres of occupied habitat of target species. Investigators could provide color slides, photos or color copies of photos of target species or representative habitats to support information or descriptions contained in reports. d. the degree of impact(s). if any. of the proposed project as it relates to the potential unoccu- pied habitat of target habitat. 6. Document findings of target species by completing California Native Species Field Survey Form(s) and submit form(s) to the Natural Diversity Data Base. Documentation of determinations and/or voucher specimens may be useful in cases of taxonomic ambiguities, habitat or range extensions. 7. Report as an addendum to the original survey. any change in abundance and distribution of target plants in subsequent years. Project sites with inventories older than three years from the current date of project proposal submission will likely need additional survey. Investigators need to assess whether an additional survey(s) is (are) needed. S. Adverse conditions may investigator(s)ator(s) from determining presence or identifying some target species in potential habitat(s) of target species. Disease. drought. predation. or herbivory may preclude the presence or identification of target species in any year. An additional botanical inventory(les) in a subsequent year(s) may be required if adverse conditions occur in a potential habitat(s). Investigator(s) may need to discuss such conditions. 9. Guidance from California Department of Fish and Game (CDFG) regarding plant and plant community surveys can be found in Guidelines for Assessing the Effects of Proposed Develop- ments on Rare and Endangered Plants and Plant Communities, 1984.
