30 <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 />Oval-leaved viburnum <br /> (Viburnum ellipticum) <br />CNPS 2 Habitat: Occurs in chaparral, <br />cismontane woodland and <br />lower montane coniferous <br />forest. <br />Elevation: 215-1400 meters. <br />Blooms: Deciduous shrub; <br />May-June. <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 /> <br /> <br /> <br />Table 2: Special status species that could occur in the project vicinity. <br />ANIMALS (adapted from CDFW 2017 and USFWS 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 />Longhorn fairy shrimp <br /> (Branchinecta longiantenna) <br />FE Occurs in ephemeral <br />wetlands and vernal pools of <br />California. <br />Absent. Although ephemeral wetlands <br />are present on the site, vernal pools are <br />absent. Longhorn fairy shrimp are <br />presumed absent from the site as the <br />site’s wetlands do not hold surface <br />water for very long, and when surface <br />water is present, it is shallow and short- <br />lived; additionally, the nearest recorded <br />observation of LHFS is more than 3 <br />miles from the site. <br />Vernal pool fairy shrimp <br /> (Branchinecta lynchi) <br />FT Occurs in vernal pools of <br />California. <br />Absent. Although ephemeral wetlands <br />are present on the site, suitable habitat <br />for vernal pool fairy shrimp in the form <br />of vernal pools is absent. Vernal pool <br />fairy shrimp are presumed absent from <br />the site as the site’s wetlands do not <br />hold surface water for very long, and <br />when surface water is present, it is <br />shallow and short-lived; additionally, <br />the nearest recorded observation of <br />VPFS is more than 3 miles from the <br />site. <br />Vernal pool tadpole shrimp <br />(Lepidurus packardi) <br />FE Occurs in vernal pools of <br />California. Vernal pools and <br />swales in the Sacramento <br />Valley containing clear to <br />highly turbid water. <br />Absent. Although ephemeral wetlands <br />are present on the site, suitable habitat <br />for vernal pool tadpole shrimp in the <br />form of vernal pools is absent. Vernal <br />pool tadpole shrimp are presumed <br />absent from the site as the site’s <br />wetlands do not hold surface water for <br />very long, and when surface water is <br />present, it is shallow and short-lived; <br />additionally, the nearest recorded <br />observation of VPTS is more than 3 <br />miles from the site.
