23 <br /> <br />Table 2: Special status species that could occur in the project vicinity. <br />PLANTS (adapted from CDFW 2017 and CNPS 2017) <br />Species Listed as Threatened or Endangered under the State and/or Federal Endangered Species Acts <br />Common and scientific names Status General habitat description *Occurrence in the study area <br />Large-flowered Fiddleneck <br /> (Amsinckia grandiflora) <br />FE, CE, <br />CNPS 1B <br />Habitat: Occurs in <br />cismontane woodlands and <br />valley and foothill <br />grasslands. <br />Elevation: 275-550 meters. <br />Blooms: Annual herb; April- <br />May. <br />Absent. The site supports grasslands <br />that may provide suitable habitat for <br />this species; however, this species <br />occurs at much higher elevations than <br />the site; there are no documented <br />occurrences within three miles of the <br />site; and the species was not observed <br />during focused surveys in May 2017. <br />Palmate-bracted bird’s-beak <br />(Choropyron palmatum) <br />FE, CE <br />CNPS 1B <br />Habitat: Occurs in <br />saline/alkaline soils of <br />seasonally flooded lowlands <br />and basins, including <br />chenopod scrub. <br />Hemiparasitic on chenopod <br />and saltmarsh species. <br />Elevation: 1-155 meters. <br />Blooms: May-October. <br />Absent. Suitable habitat is absent from <br />the site. There are no documented <br />occurrences within three miles of the <br />site. <br />Livermore tarplant <br /> (Deinandra bacigalupii) <br />CCE <br />CNPS 1B <br />Habitats: Occurs in alkaline <br />soils in meadows and seeps. <br />Elevation: 150-185 meters. <br />Blooms: June-October. <br />Unlikely. The grasslands of the site <br />provide marginal habitat for this species <br />due to an absence of highly alkaline <br />soils. There are no documented <br />occurrences within three miles of the <br />site. A rare plant survey will be <br />conducted in summer and fall 2017. <br />California seablite <br /> (Suaeda californica) <br />FE, <br />CNPS 1B <br />Habitat: Occurs in coastal <br />salt marshes and swamps. <br />Elevation: 0-15 meters. <br />Blooms: July-October <br />Absent. Habitat for this species is <br />absent from the site. There are no <br />documented occurrences within three <br />miles of the site. <br /> <br />Table 2: Special status species that could occur in the project vicinity. <br />PLANTS (adapted from CDFW 2017 and CNPS 2017) <br />Other special status plants listed by the CDFG and CNPS <br />Common and scientific names Status General habitat description *Occurrence in the study area <br />Slender silver moss <br /> (Anomobryum julaceum) <br />CNPS 2 Habitat: Occurs on damp <br />rock and soil outcrops, <br />usually on roadcuts, in <br />broadleaf upland forest, <br />lower montane coniferous <br />forest, and north coast <br />coniferous forest. <br />Elevation: 100-1000 meters. <br />Absent. Habitat for this species is <br />absent from the site. There are no <br />documented occurrences within three <br />miles of the site. <br />Mt. Diablo manzanita <br /> (Arctostaphylos auriculata) <br />CNPS 1B Habitat: Occurs in chaparral <br />habitats on sandstone. <br />Elevation: 120-500 meters. <br />Blooms: Evergreen shrub; <br />January-March. <br />Absent. Habitat is absent on the site <br />for this species. There are no <br />documented occurrences within three <br />miles of the site. <br />Contra Costa manzanita <br /> (Arctostaphylos manzanita ssp. <br />laevigata) <br />CNPS 1B Habitat: Occurs in rocky <br />chaparral habitats. <br />Elevation: 500-1100 meters. <br />Blooms: Evergreen shrub; <br />January-February. <br />Absent. Habitat is absent on the site <br />for this species. There are no <br />documented occurrences within three <br />miles of the site.
