from that lA hway. Conformance to recommended and roquirt' d Caltrans
guidelines for development along state highways would mitigate this
impact.

similarly contribute to the conversion of a rural, agricultural area
to residential uses

Dear Steve
(`n `12 .Mays i980 x conducted a botanical survey of the /Aubjeot properties to
search for any extant populations oa, rare and endangered pl,un.ts Ass Indi,cotud on, '
the Phare Plant Habitat Map submitred by myself rind u' a �i� Prouty two rare plant sl,�scc_es
could potentially occur in this geras3ral. fAroa. These are 41mna t'hef�i fl.oreosa.
sspA qAif6rnicr, and Friti llarin., t)juriflora
The property owned: by G4E. Used was considered potential habitat for both
the rare Yjimnanthas qt , Fritillaria In the earlier overview of the Obi,co Airport
Environs Rezone. ,,Air photoo showed the presence of numerous vernally moist
drainages ttssoclated with i,imnarithes floccosa sap. oalifornIca on the property.
Heavy clay soils Associated with Fritillaa:ia ,Pluriflora were also known to
occur on the taroreruy.
Although the. rarf Tjiimnanthes flowers during, early March the dried remains of
this plant are still present it! grasslands whioh are not: heavily grazed. Nr.
glsonbproperty hO not been `used for grazing for several years and was there
.yore oti,ll able to be surveyed for this rare plant. A search of the vernally
moist dram es on the ppoperty revealed he individuals of 7,tmnanthes _floccosa
ssp. californica,
7pritiLlam is fur fluid also blooms during Marcel. The fruits of this species
are a) t l.l. matUr t g and can still be seen at this. time. Although clay soils
were prebent ob the 018on's f)rcaperty l could find no signs of either, maturing
f:rtai:tb of the Pritilltoria or any in-dividuals of the other plant species cftea
associated with the Ptil,larid on heavy clay, soils were obserrtd.
The three properties aQ; aoerat to 'Cohasset highway �,Plumner;, h,cGrady, and hays)

Dear Steve

On 12 Mayr 40980 [ conducted a botanical Ourvoy of the oubjeat properties to
search for bx,y extuh't populations of rare and endangored plt.ts. As indicated on
the Rare Plant Habitat Map submited by myself and Jeff gouty two rtxre plant species
couldotentiall our in 'this floccass
p ycc
:....,...._......_.,.,_, general area.. These are l;imnanthes
ssr; �i iforniaa and Pritillaria-oluriflora.
The property owned by Cala. Olson was co tisidered potential habitat for "both
the rare ,T, mnanthes and Pr tillaria in tho earlier overvi(:w of the Chi co Airport
Environs Retono. Air phdltoz 8h6wed the r4esence of numerous vernally moist
drai.na p;es associated with 11imnantheo floccosa sep.: californica on the pxoporuy.
�1 Meavy c1a.y sono associated Oith i'ritillaria plUriflora were also, Mown to
occur on tt to property. y
AMLgh, the rare Limnanthes flowers during early March the dried remain , of
this plant are stili present in Bras„,ano.e which are not heavily grazed. Mr.
Clsons propextty has not been used to � r— ting for several years and Was there
fore still. able *a be surveyed for this 'rare -plant A search oP the verrtel l y
moist drainages on the propert,� jrevealect no individupls o.i' Lhnhan:thes floccose
ssp, califarnics..
Pritil.laria pluriflora also blooms &x •.ivi .March. The fruits of this species
are still matUring m4d Can still be neo% z, hough clay soils
y ,t this ttn .,. Although
fruihai of the - y sign:, of either maturing
were resent on the Ojsonas property X coilld find n
p'ritil.l dries or an ihd� ridUals of til other plant species often;
associated with the r'rttillarbi on heavy clay soils were observed.
The three propeetio adjacent to �"ohasset Vighway (plmmori. McOra dy) and gays)
are 4thi.n the potential: range of the above mentioned rare plant;3 gone of the
three properties contained the neceo oaary Nabi tat requ,ireraen w- asjsooiated with
Mrmantheb flaceqr m asp, ealifornica or Fritil.l aria ,, 1uriflorat.
t;pon surveying the stibiect protm,eti.es no populations of snare Gari erzdr,,4gered
, I plaatii'.y were found. . As d result of t.hi �tw zurvey I can zee no potmtl al for
