Appendix B - Biological Resources Report0� ELMT FY_ CON'S ULTING December 15, 2021 THE ALTUM GROUP Attention: Rich Malacoff 44-600 Village Court, Suite 100 Palm Desert, California 92260 SUBJECT: Biological Resources Report for the Troutdale Village Project Located in the City of La Quinta, Riverside County, California. Introduction This report contains the findings of ELMT Consulting's biological resources investigation for the Troutdale Village Project (project site or site) located in the City of La Quinta, Riverside County, California. The biological investigation was conducted by ELMT biologist Jacob H. Lloyd Davies on November 3, 2021 to document baseline conditions and to determine the potential for special -status plant and wildlife species to occur on the project site that could pose a constraint to implementation of the proposed project. This report provides a detailed assessment of the suitability of the onsite habitat to support special -status plant and wildlife species that were identified by the California Natural Diversity Database (CNDDB) and other electronic databases as potentially occurring in the vicinity of the proposed project site. Special attention was given to the suitability of the on-site habitat to support species protected under the Coachella Valley Multiple Species Habitat Conservation Plan (CVMSHCP), and potential jurisdictional drainage features. Proiect Location The project site is generally located south of State Route 111, east of State Route 74, west of Interstate 10, and northeast of the Santa Rosa Mountains in the City of La Quinta, Riverside County, California. The site is depicted on the La Quinta quadrangle of the United States Geological Survey's (USGS) 7.5 -minute topographic map series within Section 31 of Township 5 South, Range 7 East. Specifically, the project site is located at the northeast corner of the intersection of Washington Street and Avenue 50 within Assessor's Parcel Number (APN) 646-070-016. Refer to Exhibits 1-3 in Attachment A. Proiect Description The project proposes the development of an apartment complex comprised of 284 units and associated parking and infrastructure on 14.03 acres. Refer to Attachment B, Proposed Site Plan. Methodology Literature Review Prior to conducting the field investigation, a literature review and records search was conducted for special - status biological resources potentially occurring on or within the vicinity of the project site. Previously 2201 N. Grand Avenue #10098 1 Santa Ana, CA 92711-00981(714) 716-5050 www.ELMTConsulting com December 15, 2021 Page 2 recorded occurrences of special -status plant and wildlife species and their proximity to the project site were determined through a query of the CDFW's CNDDB Rarefind 5, the California Native Plant Society's (CNPS) Electronic Inventory of Rare and Endangered Vascular Plants of California, Calflora Database, compendia of special -status species published by CDFW, and the United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) species listings. Literature detailing biological resources previously observed in the vicinity of the project site and historical land uses were reviewed to understand the extent of disturbances to the habitats on-site. Standard field guides and texts on special -status and non -special -status biological resources were reviewed for habitat requirements, as well as the following resources: • CDFW 2012 Staff Report on Burrowing Owl Mitigation; • Coachella Valley Multiple Species Habitat Conservation Plan; • Google Earth Pro historic aerial imagery (1985-2021); • United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Natural Resource Conservation Service (MRCS), Soil Survey'; and • USFWS Critical Habitat designations for Threatened and Endangered Species. The literature review provided a baseline from which to inventory the biological resources potentially occurring on the project site. Additional recorded occurrences of these species found on or near the project site were derived from database queries. The CNDDB ArcGIS database was used, in conjunction with ArcGIS software, to locate the nearest occurrence and determine the distance from the project site. Habitat Assessment/Field Investi a� tion ELMT biologist Jacob H. Lloyd Davies inventoried and evaluated the extent and conditions of the plant communities found within the boundaries of the project site and a 200 -foot buffer on November 3, 2021. Plant communities identified on aerial photographs during the literature review were verified by walking meandering transects through the plant communities and along boundaries between plant communities. The plant communities were evaluated for their potential to support special -status plant and wildlife species. In addition, field staff identified any natural corridors and linkages that may support the movement of wildlife through the area. Special attention was given to special -status habitats and/or undeveloped areas, which have higher potentials to support special -status plant and wildlife species. All plant and wildlife species observed, as well as dominant plant species within each plant community, were recorded. Wildlife detections were made through observation of scat, trails, tracks, burrows, nests, and/or visual and aural observation. In addition, site characteristics such as soil condition, topography, hydrology, anthropogenic disturbances, indicator species, condition of on-site plant communities, and presence of potential jurisdictional drainage and/or wetland features were noted. Soil Series Assessment Onsite and adjoining soils were researched prior to the field visit using the USDA NRCS Soil Survey for 1 A soil series is defined as a group of soils with similar profiles developed from similar parent materials under comparable climatic and vegetation conditions. These profiles include major horizons with similar thickness, arrangement, and other important characteristics, which may promote favorable conditions for certain biological resources. Troutdale Village �0 E E M T Biological Resources Assessment * CONSULTING December 15, 2021 Page 3 Riverside County, California. In addition, a review of the local geological conditions and historical aerial photographs was conducted to assess the ecological changes the project site has undergone. Plant Communities Plant communities were mapped using 7.5 -minute USGS topographic base maps and aerial photography. The plant communities were delineated on an aerial photograph, classified in accordance with those described in the MSHCP, and then digitized into GIS Arcview. The Arcview application was used to compute the area of each plant community in acres. Plants Common plant species observed during the field survey were identified by visual characteristics and morphology in the field and recorded in a field notebook. Unusual and less -familiar plants were photographed in the field and identified in the laboratory using taxonomic guides. Taxonomic nomenclature used in this study follows the 2012 Jepson Manual (Hickman 2012). In this report, scientific names are provided immediately following common names of plant species (first reference only). Wildli e Wildlife species detected during field surveys by sight, calls, tracks, scat, or other sign were recorded during surveys in a field notebook. Field guides were used to assist with identification of wildlife species during the survey included The Sibley Field Guide to the Birds of Western North America (Sibley 2003), A Field Guide to Western Reptiles and Amphibians (Stebbins 2003), and A Field Guide to Mammals of North America (Reid 2006). Although common names of wildlife species are fairly well standardized, scientific names are provided immediately following common names in this report (first reference only). Jurisdictional Drainages and Wetlands Aerial photography was reviewed prior to conducting a field investigation in order to locate and inspect any potential natural drainage features, ponded areas, or water bodies that may fall under the jurisdiction of the United States Army Corps of Engineers (Corps), Regional Water Quality Control Board (Regional Board), or CDFW. In general, surface drainage features indicated as blue -line streams on USGS maps that are observed or expected to exhibit evidence of flow are considered potential riparian/riverine habitat and are also subject to state and federal regulatory jurisdiction. In addition, ELMT reviewed jurisdictional waters information through examining historical aerial photographs to gain an understanding of the impact of land -use on natural drainage patterns in the area. The USFWS National Wetland Inventory (NWI) and Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Water Program "My Waters" data layers were also reviewed to determine whether any hydrologic features and wetland areas have been documented on or within the vicinity of the project site. Topography and Soils The project site is ranges in elevation from 42 to 59 feet above mean sea level and is generally flat with no significant areas of topographic relief. The project site generally slopes from northeast to southwest. Based on the NRCS USDA Web Soil Survey, the project site is underlain by Coachella fine sand (0 to 2 percent slopes) and Myoma fine sand (5 to 15 percent slopes). Refer to Exhibit 4, Soils, in Attachment A. Soils on- site have been mechanically disturbed and compacted from pedestrian and vehicle traffic, weed abatement Troutdale Village �0 E E M T Biological Resources Assessment FVIFVI CONSULTING December 15, 2021 Page 4 activities, and adjacent development. Existing Site Condition The project site occurs in an area of the City of La Quinta that has undergone gradual urbanization since the later decades of the 1900's. The general area is comprised primarily of residential, recreational, institutional, and commercial development. A unique feature of the City of La Quinta is the inclusion of golf courses within residential neighborhoods, and the residential developments surrounding the site often support meandering golf courses. The project site is surrounded to the north by residential development; to the east by an undeveloped flood control channel with a sports complex and school facilities beyond; to the south by Avenue 50 with undeveloped, vacant land and a golf course beyond; and to the west by Washington Street with residential development and a golf course beyond. The site itself is composed of primarily undeveloped, vacant land and developed portions of adjacent roadways and infrastructure. The site is heavily disturbed due to pedestrian and vehicle traffic associated with surrounding development, historic light grading, and routine weed abatement activities. Historic aerials show these disturbances have been ongoing since at least 1972. Vegetation The project site primarily supports undeveloped, vacant land that has been subject to anthropogenic disturbances. Refer to Attachment C, Site Photographs, for representative site photographs. The project site supports one (1) plant community, alkali scrub, and one (1) land cover type that would be classified as disturbed (refer to Exhibit 5, Vegetation). The alkali scrub plant community found onsite is dominated by hoary saltbush (Atriplex canescens) and is indicative of native bush scrub communities that have been devegetated and allowed to revegetate naturally. Common plant species observed in this plant community include cattle spinach (Atriplex polycarpa), barbwire Russian thistle (Salsola paulsenii), burrobrush (Ambrosia salsola), Mediterranean grass (Schismus barbatus), puncturevine (Tribulus terrestris), narrow leaved cryptantha (Cryptantha angustifolia), fanleaf crinklemat (Tiquilia plicata), blue palo verde (Parkinsonia florida), creosote (Larrea tridentata), and honey mesquite (Prosopis glandulosa). The project site supports disturbed areas throughout the project in association with formerly graded areas, unofficial walkways and recreational vehicle trails, within utility easements along the western and southern boundaries. These areas can be unvegetated or vegetated with a limited variety of hardy native and non- native plant species such as Mediterranean grass, barbwire Russian thistle, and puncturevine. In addition, the norther boundary supports disturbed land where ornamental vegetation has invaded the site from adjacent residential developments. Wildlife Plant communities provide foraging habitat, nesting/denning sites, and shelter from adverse weather or predation. This section provides a discussion of those wildlife species that were observed or are expected to occur within the project site. The discussion is to be used a general reference and is limited by the season, time of day, and weather conditions in which the field survey was conducted. Wildlife detections were based on calls, songs, scat, tracks, burrows, and direct observation. Troutdale Village �0 E E M T Biological Resources Assessment FVIFVI CONSULTING December 15, 2021 Page 5 Fish No fish or hydrogeomorphic features (e.g., creeks, ponds, lakes, reservoirs) that would provide suitable habitat for fish were observed on or within the vicinity of the project site. Therefore, no fish are expected to occur and are presumed absent from the site. Amphibians No amphibians or hydrogeomorphic features that would provide suitable habitat for amphibian species were observed on or within the vicinity of the project site. Therefore, no amphibians are expected to occur and are presumed absent from the site. Reptiles The project site and surrounding area provide suitable foraging and cover habitat for reptilian species adapted to routine human disturbance and desert environments. The only reptilian species observed during the field investigation were Great Basin whiptail (Aspidoscelis tigris tigris) and western side -blotched lizard (Uta stansburiana elegans). Other common reptile species that could be expected to occur include southern sagebrush lizard (Sceloporus graciosus vandenburgianus), Great Basin fence lizard (Sceloporus occidentalis longipes), and desert iguana (Dipsosaurus dorsalis). Due to the limited availability of adjacent open space, reptilian species with large foraging ranges or territories are not expected to occur. Birds The project site and surrounding area provide suitable foraging and nesting habitat for avian species adapted to routine human disturbance and desert environments. Bird species detected during the field investigation include mourning dove (Zenaida macroura), common raven (Corvus corax), great -tailed grackle (Quiscalus mexicanus), white -crowned sparrow (Zonotrichia leucophrys), northern mockingbird (Mimus polyglottos), American kestrel (Falco sparverius), and rock pigeon (Columba liva), and verdin (Auriparus flaviceps). Mammals The project site provides suitable foraging and denning habitat for mammalian species adapted to routine human disturbance and desert environments. However, most mammal species are nocturnal and are difficult to observe during a diurnal field visit. Mammals detected and/or sign observed during the field investigation include desert cottontail (Sylvilagus audubonii), and coyote (Canis latrans). Other common mammalian species that have the potential to occur on the project site include California ground squirrel (Otospemophilus beecheyi) and white-tailed antelope ground squirrel (Ammospermophilus leucurus). Nesting Birds and Raptors No active nests or birds displaying nesting behavior were observed during the field survey, which was conducted outside of the breeding season. Although subjected to routine disturbance, the ornamental vegetation found on-site has the potential to provide suitable nesting habitat for year-round and seasonal avian residents, as well as migrating songbirds that could occur in the area that area adapted to urban environments. No raptors are expected to nest on-site due to lack of suitable nesting opportunities. Nesting birds are protected pursuant to the Migratory Bird Treaty Act (MBTA) and California Fish and Troutdale Village Biological Resources Assessment ELMT CONSULTING December 15, 2021 Page 6 Game Code (Sections 3503, 3503.5, 3511, and 3513 prohibit the take, possession, or destruction of birds, their nests or eggs). If construction occurs between February 1 st and August 31 st, a pre -construction clearance survey for nesting birds should be conducted within three (3) days of the start of any vegetation removal or ground disturbing activities to ensure that no nesting birds will be disturbed during construction. Migratory Corridors and Linkages Habitat linkages provide connections between larger habitat areas that are separated by development. Wildlife corridors are similar to linkages but provide specific opportunities for animals to disperse or migrate between areas. A corridor can be defined as a linear landscape feature of sufficient width to allow animal movement between two comparatively undisturbed habitat fragments. Adequate cover is essential for a corridor to function as a wildlife movement area. It is possible for a habitat corridor to be adequate for one species yet still inadequate for others. Wildlife corridors are features that allow for the dispersal, seasonal migration, breeding, and foraging of a variety of wildlife species. Additionally, open space can provide a buffer against both human disturbance and natural fluctuations in resources. The project site has not been identified as occurring in a wildlife corridor or linkage. The site has limited adjacent open space and available open space is entirely surrounded by existing development, limiting its connectivity to surrounding habitats. Further, the flood control channel along the eastern boundary of the project site does not support any riparian vegetation an only supports minimal local wildlife movement opportunities. There are no riparian corridors, creeks, or useful patches of steppingstone habitat (natural areas) within or connecting the site to a recognized wildlife corridor or linkage. As such, implementation of the proposed project is not expected to impact wildlife movement opportunities. Therefore, impacts to wildlife corridors or linkages are not expected to occur. Jurisdictional Areas There are three key agencies that regulate activities within inland streams, wetlands, and riparian areas in California. The Corps Regulatory Branch regulates discharge of dredge or fill materials into "waters of the United States" pursuant to Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (CWA) and Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act. Of the State agencies, the CDFW regulates alterations to streambed and bank under Fish and Wildlife Code Sections 1600 et seq., and the Regional Board regulates discharges into surface waters pursuant to Section 401 of the CWA and the California Porter -Cologne Water Quality Control Act. No jurisdictional drainage and/or wetland features were observed within the proposed limits of disturbance during the field investigation. Further, no blueline streams have been recorded on the project site. Therefore, development of the project will not result in impacts to Corps, Regional Board, or CDFW jurisdiction and regulatory approvals will not be required. It should be noted that a flood control channel occurs outside of the proposed limits of disturbances, east of the project site. Project activities are not expected to encroach into this channel. However, if project activities impact the channel, further review will be required to determine the jurisdictional limits of the Corps, Regional Board, or CDFW jurisdiction, and if regulatory approvals are required. Troutdale Village �0 E E M T Biological Resources Assessment FVIFVI CONSULTING December 15, 2021 Page 7 Special -Status Biological Resources The CNDDB was queried for reported locations of special -status plant and wildlife species as well as natural communities of special concern in the La Quinta USGS 7.5 -minute quadrangle. This singular quadrangle was used due to on-site conditions and surrounding development. A search of published records within this quadrangle was conducted using the CNDDB Rarefind 5 online software and the CDFW BIOS database and the CNPS Inventory of Rare and Endangered Plants of California that supplied information regarding the distribution and habitats of vascular plants in the vicinity of the project site. The habitat assessment evaluated the conditions of the habitat(s) within the boundaries of the project site to determine if the existing plant communities, at the time of the survey, have the potential to provide suitable habitat(s) for special - status plant and wildlife species. The literature search identified sixteen (16) special -status plant species, twenty-three (23) special -status wildlife species, and one (1) special -status plant community were identified as having potential to occur within the La Quinta quadrangle. Special -status plant and wildlife species were evaluated for their potential to occur within the project site based on habitat requirements, availability and quality of suitable habitat, and known distributions. Species determined to have the potential to occur within the general vicinity are presented in Table D-1: Potentially Occurring Special -Status Biological Resources, provided in Attachment D. Refer to Table D-1 for a determination regarding the potential occurrence of special -status plant and wildlife species within the project site. Special -Status Plants According to the CNDDB and CNPS, sixteen (16) special -status plant species have been recorded in the La Quinta quadrangle (refer to Attachment D). No special -status plants were observed on the project site during the field investigation. Based on habitat requirements for specific species, the availability and quality of on-site habitats, and the isolation of the site and adjacent open space from nearby habitats, it was determined that the project site does not have potential to support any of the special -status plant species known to occur in the vicinity of the site and all are presumed to be absent. In addition, the project site occurs outside of the known elevation ranges for the majority of the special -status plant species known to occur in the area. Special -Status Wildlife According to the CNDDB, twenty-three (23) special -status wildlife species have been reported in the La Quinta quadrangle (refer to Attachment D). No special -status wildlife species were observed during the field investigation. Based on habitat requirements for specific species and the availability and quality of on-site habitats, it was determined that the project site has a moderate potential to support prairie falcon (Falco mexicanus), and black -tailed gnatcatcher (Polioptila melaneura). It was further determined that all other special -status wildlife species known to occur in the vicinity of the site do not have potential to occur and are presumed to be absent. None of the aforementioned special -status wildlife species are state or federally listed as threatened or endangered. In order to ensure impacts to these avian species do not occur from implementation of the proposed project, a pre -construction nesting bird clearance survey shall be conducted prior to ground disturbance. With implementation of the pre -construction nesting bird clearance survey, impacts to special - status avian species will be less than significant and no mitigation will be required. Troutdale Village �0 E E M T Biological Resources Assessment FVIFVI CONSULTING December 15, 2021 Page 8 Special -Status Plant Communities The CNDDB lists one (1) special -status plant community as being identified within the La Quinta quadrangle: Desert Fan Palm Oasis Woodland. Based on the results of the field investigation, no special - status plant communities were observed onsite. Therefore, no special -status plant communities will be impacted by project implementation. Critical Habitat Under the federal Endangered Species Act, "Critical Habitat" is designated at the time of listing of a species or within one year of listing. Critical Habitat refers to specific areas within the geographical range of a species at the time it is listed that include the physical or biological features that are essential to the survival and eventual recovery of that species. Maintenance of these physical and biological features requires special management considerations or protection, regardless of whether individuals or the species are present or not. All federal agencies are required to consult with the United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) regarding activities they authorize, fund, or permit which may affect a federally listed species or its designated Critical Habitat. The purpose of the consultation is to ensure that projects will not jeopardize the continued existence of the listed species or adversely modify or destroy its designated Critical Habitat. The designation of Critical Habitat does not affect private landowners, unless a project they are proposing is on federal lands, uses federal funds, or requires federal authorization or permits (e.g., funding from the Federal Highways Administration or a CWA Permit from the Corps). If a there is a federal nexus, then the federal agency that is responsible for providing the funding or permit would consult with the USFWS. The project site is not located within federally designated Critical Habitat (refer to Exhibit 6, Critical Habitat, in Attachment A). The nearest designated Critical Habitat to the site is located approximately 1.55 miles to the west for Peninsular bighorn sheep (Ovis canadensis nelsoni). Therefore, the loss or adverse modification of Critical Habitat will not occur as a result of the proposed project and consultation with the USFWS will not be required for implementation of the proposed project. Coachella Valley MSHCP The proposed project was reviewed to determine consistency with the CVMSHCP. Geographic Information System (GIS) software was utilized to map the project site in relation to the CVMSHCP including conservation areas, corridors and linkages, and sand transport areas. The CVMSHCP requires that local permittees, such as the City of La Quinta, comply with various protective measures for covered species, communities, essential ecological processes, and biological corridors. In addition, certain projects may be subject to local development mitigation fees, a Joint Project Review Process, or other conservation or implementation measures. The project site is located within the boundaries of the CVMSHCP Area, but is not located within any Conservation Areas, Preserves, Cores, or Linkages (refer to Exhibit 7, CVMSHCP Conservation Areas in Attachment A). The proposed project is not listed as a planned "Covered Activity" under the published CVMSHCP, but is still considered to be a current Covered Activity pursuant to Section 7.1 of the CVMSHCP. According to Section 7.1 of the CVMSHCP, take authorization will be provided for certain activities that take place outside of Conservation Areas including "new projects approved pursuant to county and city generalplans, transportation improvement plans for roads in addition to those addressed in Section 7.2, master drainage plans, capital improvement plans, water and waste management plans, the Troutdale Village �0 E E M T Biological Resources Assessment FVIFVI CONSULTING December 15, 2021 Page 9 County's adopted Trails Master Plan, and other plans adopted by the Permittees." As a Covered Activity located outside designated conservation areas, construction of the proposed project is expected to be consistent with the applicable avoidance, minimization, and mitigation measures described in Section 4.4 of the CVMSHCP. Since the proposed project is considered a Covered Activity under Section 7.1 of the CVMSHCP, no further avoidance, minimization, and mitigation measures are required, and the project is in compliance with the CVMSHCP. The CVMSHCP did not identify any modeled habitat for covered species as occurring within the project site. Therefore, no impacts to CVMSHCP Modeled Habitat for Covered Species are expected to occur. Conclusion Based literature review and field survey, and existing site conditions discussed in this report, implementation of the project will have no significant impacts on federally or State listed species known to occur in the general vicinity of the project site. Additionally, the project will have no effect on designated Critical Habitat or regional wildlife corridors/linkage because none exists within the area. No jurisdictional drainage and/or wetland features were observed on the project site during the field investigation. No further surveys are recommended. With completion of recommendations provided below and payment of the CVMSHCP Mitigation Fee, development of the project site is fully consistent with the CVMSHCP and no significant impacts to special - status species are expected to occur. Recommendations Migratory Bird Treaty Act and Fish and Game Code Compliance Vegetation within and surrounding the project site has the potential to provide refuge cover from predators, perching sites and favorable conditions for avian nesting that could be impacted by construction activities associated with the project. Nesting birds are protected pursuant to the Migratory Bird Treaty Act (MBTA) and California Fish and Game Code (Sections 3503, 3503.3, 3511, and 3513 of the California Fish and Game Code prohibit the take, possession, or destruction of birds, their nests or eggs). In order to protect migratory bird species, a nesting bird clearance survey should be conducted prior to any ground disturbance or vegetation removal activities that may disrupt the birds during the nesting season. Consequently, if avian nesting behaviors are disrupted, such as nest abandonment and/or loss of reproductive effort, it is considered "take" and is potentially punishable by fines and/or imprisonment. If construction occurs between February 1 st and August 31st, a pre -construction clearance survey for nesting birds should be conducted within three (3) days of the start of any vegetation removal or ground disturbing activities to ensure that no nesting birds will be disturbed during construction. The biologist conducting the clearance survey should document a negative survey with a brief letter report indicating that no impacts to active avian nests will occur. If an active avian nest is discovered during the pre -construction clearance survey, construction activities should stay outside of a no -disturbance buffer. The size of the no -disturbance buffer will be determined by the wildlife biologist and will depend on the level of noise and/or surrounding anthropogenic disturbances, line of sight between the nest and the construction activity, type and duration of construction activity, ambient noise, species habituation, and topographical barriers. These factors will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis when developing buffer distances. Limits of construction to avoid an Troutdale Village �0 E E M T Biological Resources Assessment FVIFVI CONSULTING December 15, 2021 Page 10 active nest will be established in the field with flagging, fencing, or other appropriate barriers; and construction personnel will be instructed on the sensitivity of nest areas. A biological monitor should be present to delineate the boundaries of the buffer area and to monitor the active nest to ensure that nesting behavior is not adversely affected by the construction activity. Once the young have fledged and left the nest, or the nest otherwise becomes inactive under natural conditions, construction activities within the buffer area can occur.

There are several categories ofprotection at both federal and state levels, depending on the magnitude of threat to continued existence and existing knowledge of population levels. Federal Regulations Endangered Species Act of 1973 Federally listed threatened and endangered species and their habitats are protected under provisions of the Federal Endangered Species Act (ESA). Section 9 of the ESA prohibits "take" of threatened or endangered species. "Take" under the ESA is defined as to "harass, harm, pursue, hunt, shoot, wound, kill, trap, capture, or collect, or to attempt to engage in any of the specifically enumerated conduct." The presence of any federally threatened or endangered species that are in a project area generally imposes severe constraints on development, particularly if development would result in "take" of the species or its habitat. Under the regulations of the ESA, the United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) may authorize "take" when it is incidental to, but not the purpose of, an otherwise lawful act. Critical Habitat is designated for the survival and recovery of species listed as threatened or endangered under the ESA. Critical Habitat includes those areas occupied by the species, in which are found physical and biological features that are essential to the conservation of an ESA listed species and which may require special management considerations or protection. Critical Habitat may also include unoccupied habitat if it is determined that the unoccupied habitat is essential for the conservation of the species. Whenever federal agencies authorize, fund, or carry out actions that may adversely modify or destroy Critical Habitat, they must consult with USFWS under Section 7 of the ESA. The designation of Critical Habitat does not affect private landowners, unless a project they are proposing uses federal funds, or requires federal authorization or permits (e.g., funding from the Federal Highway Administration or a permit from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps)). If USFWS determines that Critical Habitat will be adversely modified or destroyed from a proposed action, the USFWS will develop reasonable and prudent alternatives in cooperation with the federal institution to ensure the purpose of the proposed action can be achieved without loss of Critical Habitat. If the action is not likely to adversely modify or destroy Critical Habitat, USFWS will include a statement in its biological opinion concerning any incidental take that may be authorized and specify terms and conditions to ensure the agency is in compliance with the opinion. Migratory Bird Treaty Act The Migratory Bird Treaty Act (MBTA) (16 U.S. Government Code [USC] 703) makes it unlawful to pursue, capture, kill, possess, or attempt to do the same to any migratory bird or part, nest, or egg of any such bird listed in wildlife protection treaties between the United States, Great Britain, Mexico, Japan, and the countries of the former Soviet Union, and authorizes the U.S. Secretary of the Interior to protect and regulate the taking of migratory birds. It establishes seasons and bag limits for hunted species and protects migratory birds, their occupied nests, and their eggs (16 USC 703; 50 CFR 10, 21). Troutdale Village 00 E L M T Biological Resources Assessment ❑v CONSULTING Attachmetn E — Regulations The MBTA covers the taking of any nests or eggs of migratory birds, except as allowed by permit pursuant to 50 CFR, Part 21. Disturbances causing nest abandonment and/or loss of reproductive effort (i.e., killing or abandonment of eggs or young) may also be considered "take." This regulation seeks to protect migratory birds and active nests. In 1972, the MBTA was amended to include protection for migratory birds of prey (e.g., raptors). Six families of raptors occurring in North America were included in the amendment: Accipitridae (kites, hawks, and eagles); Cathartidae (New World vultures); Falconidae (falcons and caracaras); Pandionidae (ospreys); Strigidae (typical owls); and Tytonidae (barn owls). The provisions of the 1972 amendment to the MBTA protects all species and subspecies of the families listed above. The MBTA protects over 800 species including geese, ducks, shorebirds, raptors, songbirds and many relatively common species. State Regulations California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) provides for the protection of the environment within the State of California by establishing State policy to prevent significant, avoidable damage to the environment through the use of alternatives or mitigation measures for projects. It applies to actions directly undertaken, financed, or permitted by State lead agencies. If a project is determined to be subject to CEQA, the lead agency will be required to conduct an Initial Study (IS); if the IS determines that the project may have significant impacts on the environment, the lead agency will subsequently be required to write an Environmental Impact Report (EIR). A finding of non-significant effects will require either a Negative Declaration or a Mitigated Negative Declaration instead of an EIR. Section 15380 of the CEQA Guidelines independently defines "endangered" and "rare" species separately from the definitions of the California Endangered Species Act (CESA). Under CEQA, "endangered" species of plants or animals are defined as those whose survival and reproduction in the wild are in immediate jeopardy, while "rare" species are defined as those who are in such low numbers that they could become endangered if their environment worsens. California Endangered Species Act (CESA) In addition to federal laws, the state of California implements the CESA which is enforced by CDFW. The CESA program maintains a separate listing of species beyond the FESA, although the provisions of each act are similar. State -listed threatened and endangered species are protected under provisions of the CESA. Activities that may result in "take" of individuals (defined in CESA as; "hunt, pursue, catch, capture, or kill, or attempt to hunt, pursue, catch, capture, or kill") are regulated by CDFW. Habitat degradation or modification is not included in the definition of "take" under CESA. Nonetheless, CDFW has interpreted "take" to include the destruction of nesting, denning, or foraging habitat necessary to maintain a viable breeding population of protected species. The State of California considers an endangered species as one whose prospects of survival and reproduction are in immediate jeopardy. A threatened species is considered as one present in such small numbers throughout its range that it is likely to become an endangered species in the near future in the Troutdale Village *41 E L M T Biological Resources Assessment ❑v CONSULTING Attachmetn E — Regulations absence of special protection or management. A rare species is one that is considered present in such small numbers throughout its range that it may become endangered if its present environment worsens. State threatened and endangered species are fully protected against take, as defined above. The CDFW has also produced a species of special concern list to serve as a species watch list. Species on this list are either of limited distribution or their habitats have been reduced substantially, such that a threat to their populations may be imminent. Species of special concern may receive special attention during environmental review, but they do not have formal statutory protection. At the federal level, USFWS also uses the label species of concern, as an informal term that refers to species which might be in need of concentrated conservation actions. As the Species of Concern designated by USFWS do not receive formal legal protection, the use of the term does not necessarily ensure that the species will be proposed for listing as a threatened or endangered species. Fish and Game Code Fish and Game Code Sections 3503, 3503.5, 3511, and 3513 are applicable to natural resource management. For example, Section 3503 of the Code makes it unlawful to destroy any birds' nest or any birds' eggs that are protected under the MBTA. Further, any birds in the orders Falconiformes or Strigiformes (Birds of Prey, such as hawks, eagles, and owls) are protected under Section 3503.5 of the Fish and Game Code which makes it unlawful to take, possess, or destroy their nest or eggs. A consultation with CDFW may be required prior to the removal of any bird of prey nest that may occur on a project site. Section 3511 of the Fish and Game Code lists fully protected bird species, where the CDFW is unable to authorize the issuance of permits or licenses to take these species. Pertinent species that are State fully protected by the State include golden eagle (Aquila chrysaetos) and white-tailed kite (Elanus leucurus). Section 3513 of the Fish and Game Code makes it unlawful to take or possess any migratory nongame bird as designated in the MBTA or any part of such migratory nongame bird except as provided by rules and regulations adopted by the Secretary of the Interior under provisions of the MBTA. Native Plant Protection Act Sections 1900-1913 of the Fish and Game Code were developed to preserve, protect, and enhance Rare and Endangered plants in the state of California. The act requires all state agencies to use their authority to carry out programs to conserve Endangered and Rare native plants. Provisions of the Native Plant Protection Act prohibit the taking of listed plants from the wild and require notification of the CDFW at least ten days in advance of any change in land use which would adversely impact listed plants. This allows the CDFW to salvage listed plant species that would otherwise be destroyed. California Native Plant Society Rare and Endangered Plant Species Vascular plants listed as rare or endangered by the CNPS, but which have no designated status under FESA or CESA are defined as follows: California Rare Plant Rank 1A- Plants Presumed Extirpated in California and either Rare or Extinct Elsewhere 1B- Plants Rare, Threatened, or Endangered in California and Elsewhere Troutdale Village 00 E L M T Biological Resources Assessment ❑v CONSULTING Attachmetn E — Regulations 2A- Plants Presumed Extirpated in California, But More Common Elsewhere 213- Plants Rare, Threatened, or Endangered in California, But More Common Elsewhere 3- Plants about Which More Information is Needed - A Review List 4- Plants of Limited Distribution - A Watch List Threat Ranks 1- Seriously threatened in California (over 80% of occurrences threatened / high degree and immediacy of threat) .2- Moderately threatened in California (20-80% occurrences threatened / moderate degree and immediacy of threat) 3- Not very threatened in California (<20% of occurrences threatened / low degree and immediacy of threat or no current threats known). Local Policies Coachella Valley MSHCP A Multiple Species Habitat Conservation Plan (Plan) was prepared for the entire Coachella Valley and surrounding mountains to address current and potential future state and federal Endangered Species Act issues in the Plan Area. A Memorandum of Understanding ("Planning Agreement") was developed to govern the preparation of the Plan. In late 1995 and early 1996, under the auspices of CVAG, the cities of Cathedral City, Coachella, Desert Hot Springs, Indian Wells, Indio, La Quinta, Palm Desert, Palm Springs, and Rancho Mirage; County of Riverside (County); U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS); California Department of Fish and Game (CDFG); Bureau of Land Management (BLM); U.S. Forest Service (USFS); and National Park Service (NPS) signed the Planning Agreement to initiate the planning effort. Subsequently, Caltrans, Coachella Valley Water District (CVWD), Imperial Irrigation District (IID), Riverside County Flood Control and Water Conservation District (County Flood Control), Riverside County Regional Park and Open Space District (County Parks), Riverside County Waste Resources Management District (County Waste), California Department of Parks and Recreation (State Parks), and CVMC decided to participate in the Plan. The Plan balances environmental protection and economic development objectives in the Plan Area and simplifies compliance with endangered species related laws. The Plan is intended to satisfy the legal requirements for the issuance of Permits that will allow the Take of species covered by the Plan in the course of otherwise lawful activities. The Plan will, to the maximum extent practicable, minimize and mitigate the impacts of the Taking and provide for Conservation of the Covered Species. The Conservation Plan includes the establishment of an MSHCP Reserve System, setting Conservation Objectives to ensure the Conservation of the Covered Species and conserved natural communities in the MSHCP Reserve System, provisions for management of the MSHCP Reserve System, and a Monitoring Program, and Adaptive Management. The MSHCP Reserve System will be established from lands within Troutdale Village 00 E E M T Biological Resources Assessment ❑v CONSULTING Attachmetn E — Regulations 21 Conservation Areas. Because some Take Authorization is provided under the Plan for Development in Conservation Areas, the actual MSHCP Reserve System will be somewhat smaller than the total acres in the Conservation Areas. When assembled, the Reserve System will provide for the Conservation of the Covered Species in the Plan Area. Troutdale Village 00 E L M T Biological Resources Assessment ❑v CONSULTING Attachmetn E — Regulations There are three key agencies that regulate activities within inland streams, wetlands, and riparian areas in California. The Corps Regulatory Branch regulates activities pursuant to Section 404 of the Federal Clean Water Act (CWA) and Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act. Of the State agencies, the CDFG regulates activities under the Fish and Game Code Section 1600-1616, and the Regional Board regulates activities pursuant to Section 401 of the CWA and the California Porter -Cologne Water Quality Control Act. Federal Regulations Section 404 of the Clean Water Act Since 1972, the Corps and U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) have jointly regulated the filling of "waters of the U.S.," including wetlands, pursuant to Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (CWA). The Corps has regulatory authority over the discharge of dredged or fill material into the waters of the United States under Section 404 of the CWA. The Corps and EPA define "fill material" to include any "material placed in waters of the United States where the material has the effect of. (i) replacing any portion of a water of the United States with dry land; or (ii) changing the bottom elevation of any portion of the waters of the United States." Examples include, but are not limited to, sand, rock, clay, construction debris, wood chips, and "materials used to create any structure or infrastructure in the waters of the United States." In order to further define the scope of waters protected under the CWA, the Corps and EPA published the Clean Water Rule on June 29, 2015. Pursuant to the Clean Water Rule, the term "waters of the United States" is defined as follows: (i) All waters which are currently used, or were used in the past, or may be susceptible to use in interstate or foreign commerce, including all waters which are subject to the ebb and flow of the tide. (ii) All interstate waters, including interstate wetlands'. (iii) The territorial seas. (iv) All impoundments of waters otherwise defined as waters of the United States under the definition. (v) All tributariesz of waters identified in paragraphs (i) through (iii) mentioned above. (vi) All waters adjacent3 to a water identified in paragraphs (i) through (v) mentioned above, including wetlands, ponds, lakes, oxbows, impoundments, and similar waters. The term wetlands means those areas that are inundated or saturated by surface or groundwater at a frequency and duration sufficient to support, and that under normal circumstances do support, a prevalence of vegetation typically adapted for life in saturated soil conditions. The terms tributary and tributaries each mean a water that contributes flow, either directly or through another water (including an impoundment identified in paragraph (iv) mentioned above), to a water identified in paragraphs (i) through (iii) mentioned above, that is characterized by the presence of the physical indicators of a bed and banks and an ordinary high water mark. The term adjacent means bordering, contiguous, or neighboring a water identified in paragraphs (i) through (v) mentioned above, including waters separated by constructed dikes or barriers, natural river berms, beach dunes, and the like. Troutdale Village 00 E L M T Biological Resources Assessment ❑v CONSULTING Attachmetn E — Regulations (vii) All prairie potholes, Carolina bays and Delmarva bays, Pocosins, western vernals pools, Texas coastal prairie wetlands, where they are determined, on a case -specific basis, to have a significant nexus to a water identified in paragraphs (i) through (iii) meantioned above. (viii) All waters located within the 100 -year floodplain of a water identified in paragraphs (i) through (iii) mentioned above and all waters located within 4,000 feet of the high tide line or ordinary high water mark of a water identified in paragraphs (i) through (v) mentioned above, where they are determined on a case -specific basis to have a significant nexus to a waters identified in paragraphs (i) through (iii) mentioned above. The following features are not defined as "waters of the United States" even when they meet the terms of paragraphs (iv) through (viii) mentioned above: (i) Waste treatment systems, including treatment ponds or lagoons designed to meet the requirements of the Clean Water Act. (ii) Prior converted cropland. (iii) The following ditches: (A) Ditches with ephemeral flow that are not a relocated tributary or excavated in a tributary. (B) Ditches with intermittent flow that are not a relocated tributary, excavated in a tributary, or drain wetlands. (C) Ditches that do not flow, either directly or through another water, into a water of the United States as identified in paragraphs (i) through (iii) of the previous section. (iv) The following features: (A) Artificially irrigated areas that would revert to dry land should application of water to that area cease; (B) Artificial, constructed lakes and ponds created in dry land such as farm and stock watering ponds, irrigation ponds, settling basins, fields flooded for rice growing, log cleaning ponds, or cooling ponds; (C) Artificial reflecting pools or swimming pools created in dry land; (D) Small ornamental waters created in dry land; (E) Water -filled depressions created in dry land incidental to mining or construction activity, including pits excavated for obtaining fill, sand, or gravel that fill with water; (F) Erosional features, including gullies, rills, and other ephemeral features that do not meet the definition of a tributary, non -wetland swales, and lawfully constructed grassed waterways; and (G) Puddles. (v) Groundwater, including groundwater drained through subsurface drainage systems. (vi) Stormwater control features constructed to convey, treat, or store stormwater that are created in dry land. Troutdale Village 00 E L M T Biological Resources Assessment ❑v CONSULTING Attachmetn E — Regulations (vii) Wastewater recycling structures constructed in dry land; detention and retention basins built for wastewater recycling; groundwater recharge basins; percolation ponds built for wastewater recycling; and water distributary structures built for wastewater recycling. Section 401 of the Clean Water Act Pursuant to Section 401 of the CWA, any applicant for a federal license or permit to conduct any activity which may result in any discharge to waters of the United States must provide certification from the State or Indian tribe in which the discharge originates. This certification provides for the protection of the physical, chemical, and biological integrity of waters, addresses impacts to water quality that may result from issuance of federal permits, and helps insure that federal actions will not violate water quality standards of the State or Indian tribe. In California, there are nine Regional Water Quality Control Boards (Regional Board) that issue or deny certification for discharges to waters of the United States and waters of the State, including wetlands, within their geographical jurisdiction. The State Water Resources Control Board assumed this responsibility when a project has the potential to result in the discharge to waters within multiple Regional Boards. State Regulations Fish and Game Code Fish and Game Code Sections 1600 et. seq. establishes a fee-based process to ensure that projects conducted in and around lakes, rivers, or streams do not adversely impact fish and wildlife resources, or, when adverse impacts cannot be avoided, ensures that adequate mitigation and/or compensation is provided. Fish and Game Code Section 1602 requires any person, state, or local governmental agency or public utility to notify the CDFW before beginning any activity that will do one or more of the following: (1) substantially obstruct or divert the natural flow of a river, stream, or lake; (2) substantially change or use any material from the bed, channel, or bank of a river, stream, or lake; or (3) deposit or dispose of debris, waste, or other material containing crumbled, flaked, or ground pavement where it can pass into a river, stream, or lake. Fish and Game Code Section 1602 applies to all perennial, intermittent, and ephemeral rivers, streams, and lakes in the State. CDFW's regulatory authority extends to include riparian habitat (including wetlands) supported by a river, stream, or lake regardless of the presence or absence of hydric soils and saturated soil conditions. Generally, the CDFW takes jurisdiction to the top of bank of the stream or to the outer limit of the adjacent riparian vegetation (outer drip line), whichever is greater. Notification is generally required for any project that will take place in or in the vicinity of a river, stream, lake, or their tributaries. This includes rivers or streams that flow at least periodically or permanently through a bed or channel with banks that support fish or other aquatic life and watercourses having a surface or subsurface flow that support or have supported riparian vegetation. A Section 1602 Streambed Alteration Agreement would be required if impacts to identified CDFW jurisdictional areas occur. Troutdale Village 00 E L M T Biological Resources Assessment ❑v CONSULTING Attachmetn E — Regulations Porter Cologne Act The California Porter -Cologne Water Quality Control Act gives the State very broad authority to regulate waters of the State, which are defined as any surface water or groundwater, including saline waters. The Porter -Cologne Act has become an important tool in the post SWANCC and Rapanos regulatory environment, with respect to the state's authority over isolated and insignificant waters. Generally, any person proposing to discharge waste into a water body that could affect its water quality must file a Report of Waste Discharge in the event that there is no Section 404/401 nexus. Although "waste" is partially defined as any waste substance associated with human habitation, the Regional Board also interprets this to include fill discharged into water bodies.
