occasional basis, primarily due to lack of habitat. There is no suitable nesting habitat for species such as tricolored blackbird and least Bell's vireo. There is no well-developed riparian forest vegetation or scrub-shrub vegetation for riparian brush rabbit. The site does not provide suitable aquatic habitat for any species of fish, western spadefoot, California red-legged frog, California tiger salamander, or western pond turtle and due to its ephemeral flow regime, Bieghle Drain does not contain suitable aquatic habitat for these species. There are no vernal pools or seasonal wetlands in the site for vernal pool branchiopods (i.e., fairy and tadpole shrimp). There are no blue elderberry shrubs in the site, precluding the potential occurrence of valley elderberry longhorn beetle. CRITICAL HABITAT: The site is not in designated critical habitat for California red- legged frog (USFWS, 2006), federally listed vernal pool shrimp or plants (USFWS, 2005a), California tiger salamander (USFWS, 2005b), valley elderberry longhorn beetle (USFWS, 1980), delta smelt (USFWS, 1994), Central Valley steelhead (NOAA, 2005), or any other federally listed species (Attachment E). SAN JOAQUIN COUNTY MULTI-SPECIES HABITAT CONSERVATION AND OPEN SPACE PLAN (HCP): The project will participate in the HCP (SJCOG, 2000), which involves the payment of fees and implementation of ITMMs to avoid impacts on nesting birds and other special-status species. The site is mapped as "Agricultural Habitat Open Spaces" in the HCP and the 2022 per-acre fee is $19,561.00 per acre (Attachment F). Conclusions and Recommendations • The site consists of a small home site and a disked grassland field that is biologically unremarkable. • No jurisdictional Waters of the U.S. or wetlands were observed in the site. The site is a leveled field that has been subject to intensive farming for 2706 Pock Lane: Biology 23 November 23, 2021
