This wetland may be best described as a "creatod"vernal <br /> pool. This wetland feature is immediately adjacent to the eastern fence line and <br /> appears to have-been created by the construction of an elevated form road along the <br /> western edge of the adjacent parcel. The entire pool Is approximately 250 feet In length <br /> and 6 feet wide. However, only 200 feet of the length of this pool is in the site; the <br /> remaining 50 feet extends off-site to the north. The total on-site wetland area is <br /> estimated to be less than 0.03 acres. <br /> Wii nt 1FE' A limited number of wildlife species were observed In the project vicinity; oil of <br /> these are common species found In agricultural areas of eastern San Joaquin County <br /> (Table 2). A few ground squirrels (Spermophllus beecheyi) were observed just south <br /> and west of the site. and a coyote (Canis lotrans) was observed running across the <br /> project site. A variety of bird species were observed flying around and over the site and <br /> perching In the trees near the residence north of the site. No raptor stick nests were <br /> observed In any of these trees. <br /> SENSITIVE SPECIES' Vernal pool invertebrates were observed In the single wetland in the <br /> project site. Based on close visual inspection, these shrimp appeared to be California <br /> linderlella (Linderiella occidentalis) and some species in the genus Branchinecto. <br /> California linderlella is a common species with no listing status, while the genus <br /> Bronchinecto contains both listed and non-iistod species. Since no spoctmens were <br /> collected, microscopic Inspection required for species-level Identification was not <br /> possible. The likelihood of these Bronchinecto being the federally-threatened vernal <br /> pool fairy shrimp(B. lyncho Is considered high since It has been documented in both the <br /> Unclen and Waterloo topographic quadrangles. <br /> los Farm Servlces/20-acre parcel 3 2/19/98 <br /> 90 'd 6Z89S9£60Z 1"010010I9-32J00W Wd 0£= £0 I0-£I-d3S <br />
