This survey and <br />accompanying report were completed by Hortscience/Bartlett Consulting in August of 2019. <br />1.0 INTRODUCTION <br />Olberding Environmental, Inc. has conducted a biological resources analysis (biological <br />constraints assessment) of the Merritt Property, located in the City of Pleasanton, Alameda <br />County, California. This biological resources analysis includes a review of pertinent literature on <br />relevant background information and habitat characteristics of the site. Our review includes <br />researching existing information contained in an IPaC provided by the USFWS, occurrences <br />within the CNDDB maintained by the CDFW, and the CNPS Inventory of Rare and Endangered <br />Vascular Plants of California. Also included was a review of information related to species of <br />plants and animals that could potentially utilize the described habitats identified on and <br />immediately surrounding the Property. To assist in the assessment, a field reconnaissance <br />investigation and wetland delineation of the Property was conducted on August 26, 2021, and <br />protocol level CRLF surveys were conducted from March through May 2022. This report <br />documents the methods, results, and conclusions for the reconnaissance-level survey associated <br />with the biological resources analysis for the Property and includes the results from the verified <br />wetland delineation and the protocol level CRLF surveys. <br />2.0 LOCATION <br />The Property is an infill property located in the County but surrounded by property in the City of <br />Pleasanton, Alameda County, California, approximately 2 miles south of Interstate 580 (I-580) <br />and immediately adjacent to southbound Interstate 680 (I-680).
