A. Habitat.
The eject sits is logate�d on lana that contain' el.emonts of two aaturql
€" .. y
habitat typos—valley +sslancl and foothiljwaod0and. A small artif,cfall �I
created segment ,of rV, tan habitat is also present. Several streams, not
Keefer Slough, #cava c,,j the area, but all are too ephemeral to sustain any
natural riparian habitat within the confines of the project site. The. terrasn
Consists of gentle rolling hills that reach a maximum elevation of 2180 feet'
on the northeast boundary and descend to less than 220 feet along Keefer
Slzugh. Some large rock outcrops occur on the east bank of Reefer Slough
toward the eastern border of the site. One of these rocks canto ins five
Indian mortars.
Val ley Grassland: !'his habitat type is most extensive at the southern end
of the site adjacent to the eastern extension of Hicks Lane, and at the north
end of the site adjacont to Keefer Road. It intergrades with foothill wood-
land as one progresses toward the center of the project area from either the
north or the south; it is characterized by annual grasses and forbs that de-
velop rapidly in the spring and complete 'tbaii Fife cycles by summer,
The dominant grasses include biomes, rescues, hairgrasses and wild oats.
Spring annuals include `.var"ous clovers, lowland shooting stars, grass pinks,
lotuses, Johnny tucks, Hooker's plantains,, cottonweeds, peppergrasses,
tidy tips and blow wives, Several species of 6rodiaeo (e:p,, blue dicks,
grass nuts, mag4lowered brodiaeaj white brodiaea, twining brodiaea),
odontostomums, wild buckwheats, and tarweeds also occur in the habitat
Late-flowering species that develop after the spring forbs have die0 back
include vinegar weed, hayfield torweed', Fitch's spikeweed and turkey
mullein.
Foothill Woodland. A significant portion of the site, particularly,'toward
, i
the center of the project areas occupied by this habitat type, Drf'odds
that pass through the area do not appear to have ,significantly al tered fhe
natural habitat to date although some introduced species such as willow
lettuce, prickly lettuce and star-thistle have become established.
The dominant species of the area is the blue oak, but some manzanitas,
toyons, buckbrush and poison oak also occur. At the east end of Keefer
Slough v&MIh this habitat small populations of corramon monkey flower are.'
present, and within the dry stream beds the remains got clover 'ferns,coyote-
thistle' and navorretias are evident. Bedstraws are common around the bass
of the: blue oaks:
