Some of the area has been disturbed (especially on the Hays property) by clearing,, and is Little Chico Creek reinvaded by shrubs. On hay`s property is also a vineyard, runs all year through Isom and 11a11s property and both properties have intermittent „s or runoff' channels. A shall pond borders the Hay's property and a large 'strea pond is adjacent to the Iso: Hail property. Route S2 borders the western edge of Isom Hall's property, VALUE AS WILDLIFE HABITAT The areas a whole, is excellent wildlife habitat. The varied topography of the land and the variety of species and growth forms of vegetation provide excellent cover and meeting sites for a great diversity of wildliae. Pine nuts, acorns, wild grapes, manzanita berries, grasses, and buck brush.provide abundant..wi.ldlife food» in general, those areas with the most dense vegetation, especially the gullies with. ephemeral nwater sources and the dense chapparral provide the most food and. cover. » Nex4 highest in dlife' value, are the shrubby areas i with the occasional digger pine. 0pein areas, especially the grassland with scattered. oaks:, are Cho least: valuable; Nalthough by no means useless.

Res onse to the MaY 17<19 2Letersand May 21 1982 Memorandum from the Department of Fishand, Potential project impacts on wildlife are described on pages 32 through 3S of the DSR, and mitigations are listed on pages 35 and 36. A cluster design has been proposed to minimize adverse impacts on lVildl ife . An alternative pattern of clustering has been recom- mended by the Department of Fish and Game per the delineatiuns on the attached map. The design of the project should specify that areas retained in open space and i-,,, ended to be used as migration corridors be ivi de enoughve cnis purpose. In order to help accomplish this, the continuous band of open area crossin section 18 could be g widened to 300 feet, The, Poll -016119 additional comments were submitted dune 22, 1932 by DY.
