Anthropomorphic activity levels and a general lack of' vege- <br /> i� tation minimize use of this type by wildlife. Many specie's may use developed areas through the seasons, but most use is confined <br /> t to transient visitations. Bird species like the house finch and <br />' f American robin would perhaps exhibit the highest use frequency, <br /> although the black-tailed jackrabbit is also a common user of <br /> this type due in part to its relatively high tolerance of human <br /> activity. <br /> 4.8.2 sensitive Plant Species <br /> Sensitive plant species are those protected by state or <br /> federal law. Such species include those listed or proposed for <br /> listing as rare, endangered, threatened, or presumed extinct, by <br /> the state (CDFG) or the federal government (U.S. Fish and Wil- <br /> dlife Service) . <br /> y <br /> Prior to initiating the field surveys, a literature search <br /> was performed to determine if any sensitive plant species had ' <br /> been located in the project area or in its vicinity. The litera- <br /> ture search involved review of the NDDB and the California Native <br /> Plant Society's (CNPS) Inventory of Rare and Endangered Vascular <br /> Plants of California (Smith and Berg, 1988) . The NDDB indicates <br /> x that no sensitive plant species have been observed at the project <br /> site. Of the sensitive plant species which are known to have <br /> occurred in San Joaquin County, those given in Table 4. 8. 1 may <br /> occur on the project site due to the existence of potentially <br /> suitable habitat. No sensitive plant species were observed J <br /> during the surveys conducted to describe the project site I <br /> E <br /> 1 � <br /> 1 ; <br /> i <br /> i <br /> KRC Aggreg ate, Inc. <br /> 10 - April 1, 1994 <br /> I <br />
