Box 9g6 Oroville, CA 93965 re: A'P#s27-22-131,1.34-140; and 27-23-4.0 through 43 (Becker property) Dear Kristine; Enclosed are 'tmo copies of the ;completed botanical survey report. for the Becker property. As you will see in, the report, we did not find any of the plant species of concern on this property, but we did find .five vernal pool areas. These will need to remain undisturbed, since the pools are habitat for many unusual species and one tare plant (Chanzaesyce lioovert, Hoovers spurge) which cannot be surveyed for u► itil August: Since the owner has agreed (as per phone conversation in late April or. e.—Myr May) that any vernal pools wovild be avoided, such an August surve should b ry. This p rn� letter of 15 April 199 not a necessa s o tion was referred to �n (attached). [I am willing to conduct a quick survey in mid -Au st for Chafflaesyce hooveri and prepare a short addendum to this report about the results. This might cost as much as $120. Let me know if this is desiredi] In addition to the avoidance of any impact to the vernal pools, we made some recommendations to use as �u delines from the point of view of preserving as much as possible of the site's remaining botanical resources, in particular the oak woodland and natural drainage patterns. While these recommendations are not sttictly required in a legalistic sense, I; strongly recommend following them to the extent possible for the, highest duality result on the land over the long term: If you or your client have any further questions, let me know. It has beer► a pleasure working with you, Sincerely, Barbara Castro Botanist Cl attachments 1' encl. l cc. Butte County Planning Dept. .

Between 100 and 275 ft, elevation in southern Butte County, California, t e site occupies the S 1/2 of Sec. 33 and SW 1 /4 of Sec. 34, T1 8N, ME, an the Honcut USGS 75 quad map, and is about 8 air miles south of Orovlle. The area is bounded on the west by Palermso-Honcut H ghN,vay, and extends east to a knoll at the southeast corner. The site was systematically surveyera i'or the purpose of determining whether sensitive botanical resources are pi'esent on the property and to assess the potential for disturbance to these plants or plant communities should full development occur. Blue Oak woodland occupies the slopes of the knoll in the southeast corner of the property the remainder of the property consists of gently rolling annual ssland. The grassland component of the blue oak woodland is similar to that of to lower .lands. Two intermittent creeks drain thepropperty to the south and southwest through the ronin grasslands. There may have been small vernal drainagge swales on top of the gher land, but these -,now are barely distinguishable from the rest of the annual grassland due to past agricultural uses of the property. Fine vernal pool areas were found near the, southern boundary of the property. Soils are heavy, with high clay content, it is apparent ythat all of the lower lands west of the knoll have been plowed P grazing. A "recently, constructed road traverses the center (s Ing rope is in. thee paest; the may have also been lanted to grains. Current use (s proper far from Palermo-Ffoncut Highway due east to near the base of the knoll. A little -use dirt road traverses the western flank- of the knoll from north to south.

SURV EY Ml'1•% ODS The property was searched during the period when eF, `,h of the plant species of. concern (with the exception of Chamaesyce hooveri as discussed below) would. be flowering or otherwise identifiable by distinctive vegetative oi' fruiting parts. This was accomplished by visit; bar Lawrence Janeway ian 12 April, 2 Ma, and 7 June, 1.991.. Timing of field visits corresponded to the rate of :maturation a species of concern, which. was slower during the 1991 growin season than usual due to the cool aitd. rainy weather experienced in this ppart of Ca§ifornia during April and May. 'For instance, 1=.xctm•ta eenet cannormallyy-be recogni2ed in mid=May, but due to a delay i.h maturationoftwo to four weeks for most plants, tris species 1was searched for in the first week of.

Since potential , abitat (vernal vols at about the 00 foot elevation does occur on, site, the pliant must be Assumed to be present (unless an August survey were to determine Its absence). `) e Thus, potential adverse impacts to this CLAPS List IB plant (a vernal pool obligate species) could occur with development of this property if the plat's habitat is disturbed. For Chantaesyce hooveri, this means either direct disruption vernal pools themselves or indirect disruption of the pools through alteration of the drainage patterns which supply their waters. Mitigation measure number 4, below, addresses this issue. The Species previously reported to occur on the property, Cuscutt� The of ellia a Boggs Lake dodder), was not located during these surveys (no species seen). This species is found on Cr.,7PS List pp ist 4,, and st tole this listing represents a concern that the overall health and viability of the species throughout its range be monitored, such a level of concern lies outside the scope of this project except for the level of survey and reporting contained in this report. Three other types of project impacts on t:,otancal resources warrant discussions 1. vernal pools Development of lots in the,southern portion of the property could eliminate or severe] y impact some or all of the vernal pools present: Because vernal pools are themselves becopaing rare in California and because the are classified and managed as wetlands by the U t3. Arm Corps of Engineers, their unaccdestreptable ab due to impacts occurring during situ development could. represent an unacceptable Ioss t:ven if the pools do not happen. to contain a protected plant species. Consultation with a wetland specialist is adivise4. 2. Oak Woodl n �s Site preparation, ,constructions and residential use of the southeast slopes of this roperty could very likely result in direct removal of many trees in the Blue Oak Woodland. In addition, harvesting the. oaks far firewood, and otheP compaction, or irr2 i:ion underneath the p y 1 treesr drip -lines v w rababl S� ill a so contribute to no � g� and adult oaks over the long term. n survival of seedlings, sprouts, 3. a' Since the lots are evenly distributed over the property, the filling of structures.y, . p of�tlte int+�rmittent streams seems likely, whether, for acres,, roads or pads for Cutting and filling will dramatically alter drains&e patterns and. precautions are taken to reserve theg atural flotiv re site and offsite, unless special` therefore the moisture -dependent vegetation etation both ons gtines of these drainages.

Avoid placing any toads or strucUires upstream or up+jiope within a pools watershed; Delineation of essential waters\, reds should be determined in consultation with a hydrologist. 5. In oak woodland areas, remove the least number of trees possible, do not allow heavy grazing of livestock, or any activities which would pave or compact the ground or irrigate within the dripline of each oak tree. See Appendix B for guidelines for development among oak trees. 6. Revegetate all surface disturbances with native shrub, forb, and grass species. Wherever possible, avoid ,introduction of non-native plantings, groundcovers or landscaping.
