?Envirora�nental Analysi.r • California seabitle (Saraeda calafiarinic�a). The California seabide i��stec3 on the CNPS as endangered (1B.1). No California seabitle was observed durin�;the site assessment,and no reportec� occurrences of California seabitle have been doct�ented within or adjacent to the proposed project area. The California seabitle has a lo�v potential to occur within the project axea. • Coasta.�marsh milk vetch(Astr��gulus pycnostachyu.c var.pychnosta�h��r�.r). The Coastal marsh milk vetch is listed as endangered on the CNPS inventory (1B2)• Na Coastal salt marsh milk vetch was observed during the site assessment,and there have been no docamented occurrences within or neax tlie project area. The patential for Coastal marsh milk vetch to occur within the project area is low. • Point Reyes bird's beak (Chlnrpyrnn r�aa�itisnus�a ssp. Palu.rtr�). The Point Reyes bird's beak is listed o�the CNPS inventory as endangered (1B.2). No Point Reyes bird's beak was o�served during the site assessment, and there have been no documented occurrences of Point Reyes bird's beak within or near the project area. However,suitable habitat surrounds the project area making the patential for Point Repes bird's beak to occur within the project area low. The site assessment conducted for the BRS found no evidence of any of these special status plants in the project area. MigratorvBirds._No migratory bi�ds or nests were found in the project axea during the site assessment. Howeve�,migratory bird species have the potenrial to occur in the project area. Four migratory birds were identified to have the potential to occur within the project area (��URECO, 2013}. These include the following: • American peregxine falcon (Falca peregrines anaturrl). The Aimerican peregrine falcon has been delisted from both the federal and state ESA. Howeve�, the American peregrine falcon is stil� fully-protected by the CDF'�'as a Bird of Conservation Concern (BCC). The American peregrine falcon has a low potential to occux due to potenrial foragang habitat in areas adjacent to the project area. ■ White-tailed kite (Elanu.r leaacurus). The white-tailed l�te is fi.illy-protected under the CDFW as Least Concem (LC). The white-tailed kite has a loa�potential to occur within the project atea due to the presence of foraging habitat in areas adjacent to the project ;ir�zi. • Tricolored blackbird (1�gelaiu.r tricodo�j. The trico�oxed blackbird is listed as a species of special concexn. The tricolored blackbixd has a low potential to occur within the project area due to potenrial foxaging and nesring habitat that is ptesent in areas adjacent to the ptoject area. 2-17 US 909 Pedestrian Undercrossing and Bair Island Road Star m�Drain Punsj�Station Project
