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. Duck <br /> Creek does not contain marsh or swamp habitat required by several of the <br /> special-status plant species in Table 3; most of the marsh and swamp plant <br /> species in Table 3 are associated with tidal marshes several miles to the west of <br /> the site. No special-status plants or potentially suitable habitat for special-status <br /> plants were observed in the site. Due to lack of suitable habitat, it is unlikely that <br /> special-status plants occur in the site. <br /> SPECIAL-STATUS WILDLIFE: Special-status wildlife species recorded in <br /> project area in the CNDDB (2021) query include Swainson's hawk, tricolored <br /> blackbird (Agelaius tricolor), least Bell's vireo (Vireo bellii pusillus), white-tailed <br /> kite (Elanus leucurus), burrowing owl ,California tiger salamander (Ambystoma <br /> 3009 Pock Lane: Biology 19 November 24, 2021 <br />
