29 <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 />California alkali grass <br /> (Puccinellia simplex) <br />CNPS 1B Habitat: Occurs in alkaline, <br />vernally mesic, sinks, flats, <br />and lake margins within <br />chenopod scrub, meadows <br />and seeps, Valley and <br />foothill grasslands, and <br />vernal pools. <br />Elevation:2-930 meters. <br />Blooms: March-May. <br />Unlikely. Marginal habitat for this <br />species is present within the seasonal <br />wetlands of the site; however, highly <br />alkaline soils are absent. There are no <br />documented occurrences within three <br />miles of the site. <br />Chaparral ragwort <br /> (Senecio aphanactis) <br />CNPS 2 Habitat: Occurs in drying <br />alkaline flats within coastal <br />scrub and cis montane <br />woodland habitats. <br />Elevation: 50-575 meters. <br />Blooms: Annual; January – <br />April. <br />Absent. Habitat is absent from the site <br />for this species. There are no <br />documented occurrences within three <br />miles of the site. <br />Mt. Diablo jewel-flower <br /> (Streptanthus hispidus) <br />CNPS 1B Habitat: Occurs on rocky <br />outcrops in chaparral and <br />valley and foothill <br />grasslands. <br />Elevation: 365-1200 meters. <br />Blooms: Annual; March- <br />June. <br />Absent. Habitat is absent from the site <br />for this species. There are no <br />documented occurrences within three <br />miles of the site. <br />Slender-leaved pondweed <br /> (Stuckenia filiformis) <br />CNPS 2 Habitat: Occurs in shallow, <br />clear waters within lakes and <br />drainages. <br />Elevation: 15-2310 meters. <br />Blooms: Perennial. <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 />Saline clover <br /> (Trifolium depauperatum var. <br />hydrophilum) <br />CNPS 1B Habitat: Occurs in marshes <br />and swamps, valley and <br />foothill grasslands on mesic <br />or alkaline soils, and vernal <br />pools. <br />Elevation: 0-300 meters. <br />Blooms: Annual; April– <br />June. <br />Absent. Marginal habitat for this <br />species is present within the seasonal <br />wetlands of the site; however, highly <br />alkaline soils are absent. This species <br />was not detected during focused <br />surveys conducted in May 2017 and is <br />presumed absent. There are no <br />documented occurrences within three <br />miles of the site. <br />Caper-fruited tropidocarpum <br /> (Tropidocarpum capparideum) <br />CNPS 1A Habitat: Occurs on alkaline <br />soils of valley and foothill <br />grassland. <br />Elevation: 1-455 meters. <br />Blooms: Annual; March- <br />April. <br />Unlikely. Grasslands of the site <br />provide marginal habitat for this species <br />due to a lack of highly alkaline soils. <br />Species was once believed extinct but a <br />population was discovered at Fort <br />Hunter Ligget in Monterey County in <br />2000; however, the species was last <br />documented in the project site area in <br />1957. There are no documented <br />occurrences within three miles of the <br />site. <br />Coastal triquetrella <br /> (Triquetrella californica) <br />CNPS 1B Habitat: Moss that occurs on <br />soil in coastal bluff scrub <br />and coastal scrub. <br />Elevation: 10-100 meters. <br />Absent. Suitable habitat for this species <br />is absent from the study area. There are <br />no documented occurrences within <br />three miles of the site.
