2 Environments 7.B. - Page 57 <br /> • California seabitle (Suaeda califnrinica). The California seabitle is listed on the CNPS as <br /> endangered (1B.1). No California seabitle was observed during the site assessment,and <br /> no reported occurrences of California seabitle have been documented within or adjacent <br /> to the proposed project area. The California seabitle has a low potential to occur within <br /> the project area. <br /> • Coastal marsh milk vetch (Astragulus pycnostachyus var.pychnostachyus). The Coastal marsh <br /> milk vetch is listed as endangered on the CNPS inventory (1B.2). No Coastal salt marsh <br /> milk vetch was observed during the site assessment, and there have been no documented <br /> occurrences within or near the project area. The potential for Coastal marsh milk vetch <br /> to occur within the project area is low. <br /> • Point Reyes bird's beak (Chlorpyron maritimum ssp. Palustre). The Point Reyes bird's beak is <br /> listed on the CNPS inventory as endangered (1B.2). No Point Reyes bird's beak was <br /> observed during the site assessment,and there have been no documented occurrences of <br /> Point Reyes bird's beak within or near the project area. However, suitable habitat <br /> surrounds the project area making the potential for Point Reyes bird's beak to occur <br /> within the project area low. <br /> The site assessment conducted for the BRS found no evidence of any of these special status plants in <br /> the project area. <br /> Migratory Birds. No migratory birds or nests were found in the project area during the site <br /> assessment. However,migratory bird species have the potential to occur in the project area. Four <br /> migratory birds were identified to have the potential to occur within the project area (WRECO, <br /> 2013). These include the following: <br /> • American peregrine falcon (Falco peregrines anatum). The American peregrine falcon has <br /> been delisted from both the federal and state ESA. However, the American peregrine <br /> falcon is still fully-protected by the CDFW as a Bird of Conservation Concern (BCC). <br /> The American peregrine falcon has a low potential to occur due to potential foraging <br /> habitat in areas adjacent to the project area. <br /> • White-tailed kite (Elanus kucurus). The white-tailed kite is fully-protected under the <br /> CDFW as Least Concern (LC). The white-tailed kite has a low potential to occur within <br /> the project area due to the presence of foraging habitat in areas adjacent to the project <br /> area. <br /> • Tricolored blackbird (Agelaius tricolor). The tricolored blackbird is listed as a species of <br /> special concern. The tricolored blackbird has a low potential to occur within the project <br /> area due to potential foraging and nesting habitat that is present in areas adjacent to the <br /> project area. <br /> 2-17 US 101 Pedestrian Undercrossing and Bair <br /> Island Road Storm Drain Pump Station Project <br />
