1. Executive Summary
4Creeks, Inc. (4Creeks) has tasked Soar Environmental Consulting to provide biological habitat assessment services as part of an IS/MND for a neighborhood park development. The proposed project is located at the northeast corner of the intersection of North Milburn Avenue and West Dakota Avenue in the City of Fresno, California. The property is comprised of Assessor Parcel Number (APN) 511 -200-30T and totals 3.98 acres. The Project site is located in the U nited States Geological Survey Herndon 7.5 -minute quadrangle and Fresno North 7.5-minute quadrangle at an elevation of approximately 285 feet above mean sea level. Soar Environmental Consulting, Inc. prepared this Habitat Assessment Report for 4Creeks, Inc ., in support of the California Environmental Quality Act requirements.
Prior to field activities, Soar Environmental Consulting, Inc. conducted research of the California Natural Diversity Database and the United States Fish and Wildlife Service Information for Planning and Consultation to learn which species may potentially be present onsite. On December 7, 2020, Soar Environmental Consulting, Inc. performed an assessment of the Project site. The purpose of the pedestrian habitat assessment survey was to search for the presence of special-status species that have historically been observed within, or surrounding, the Project site.
Database research suggested that a Habitat Assessment was necessary to search for the potential presence of San Joaquin kit f ox, blunt -nosed leopard, giant garter snake, California red legged frog, California tiger salamander, Delta smelt, vernal pool fairy shrimp, Swainson's hawk, California thrasher, Costa’s hummingbird, Lawrence’s goldfinch, Nuttall’s woodpecker, Rufous hummingbird, spotted towhee, Hartweg's golden sunburst, San Joaquin Valley Orcutt grass, hairy Orcutt grass, and succulent owl's-clover.
While none of the aforementioned listed species were observed during the Habitat Survey, potentially suitable habitat feat ures exist for the following species: blunt-nosed leopard lizard (Gambelia silus), Swainson’s Hawk (Buteo swainsoni), San Joaquin kit fox (Vulpes macrotis mutica), California t hrasher (Toxostoma redivivum), Costa’s Hummingbird (Calypte costae) Lawrence’s G oldfinch (Carduelis lawrencei), Nuttall’s Woodpecker (Picoides nuttallii), Rufous Hummingbird (Selasphorus rufus), Spotted Towhee (Pipilo maculatus clementae).
Soar Environmental Consulting, Inc. recommends that a biologist assess the following features prior to the commencement of ground disturbance activities: burrows of 3 inches or greater for San Joaquin kit fox; trees and shrubs within and surrounding the Project footprint for nesting raptors and other Migratory Bird Treaty Act protected species. Construction should be avoided during the nesting season (March 1 to September 15), or a preconstruction survey for listed species should be conduc ted. In addition, active raptor nests should be avoided by at least 150 feet and non-raptor nests should be avoided by at least 50 feet; all potential San Joaquin kit fox dens (with openings greater than 4-inches) should be avoided by 50 feet until it can be determined that none are present.

2. Introduction
4Creeks, Inc. (4Creeks) has tasked Soar Environmental Consulting with conducting a California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Initial Study for the Milburn and Dakota Master Planned Community Park project within the City of Fresno, California. As part of this Initial Study, 4Creeks seeks an environmental consulting firm to provide biological services. The proposed project is comprised of a parking lot, multi-use field, a stage with cover, child and toddler play areas with shade sails, a water play area, restrooms with showers, large and small picnic shelters, a dog park, skatepark and rubberized jogging track. There will also be multi-use courts for basketball, futsal, tennis and pickleball. The Project site is located in the United States Geological Sur vey Herndon 7.5-minute quadrangle and Fresno North
7.5-minute quadrangle at an elevation of approximately 285 feet above mean sea level. The project area is split on the east and west border of these two quadrangles at Township 13s, Range 19e, section 23.
Soar Environmental Consulting, Inc. (Soar Environmental) prepared this Habitat Assessment Report for 4Creeks, in support of the CEQA requirements.
Prior to field activities, Soar Environmental researched the California Natural Diversity Database (CNDDB) and the United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) Information for Planning and Consultation (IPaC), to learn which species may potentially be present onsite. Soar Environmental researched specific species and habitat requirements for the species noted in the CNDDB and IPaC databases and included proximal species observations and species status in this report.
A pedestrian habitat assessment was conducted in the project area on December 7, 2020, by Soar biologist Travis Albert. The plant communit y is dominated by Russian thistle (Kali targus) a non -native tumble weed, and shortpod mustard (Hirschfeldia incana). The ground is highly disturbed from tilling, exposing o bare earth that appears to be alkaline and very dry. There are no drainages or surface water and little to no grass. There is one Fremont cottonwood tree (Populus fremontii) along the eastern boundary with 2 woodpecker cavities (not large enough to be nest cavities). There are no other trees and one small tree of heaven shrub near the southeast corner of the Project boundary. Along the north fence on the west side there is a live oak along the fence on the school yard side with a nest near the top of the tree (Fig 12 & 13). To the west there is a church parking lot and residential properties to the east and south. There is potential nesting habitat in the trees and shrubs around the Project site , but there is no nesting habitat within the project boundary.

3. Methods
3.1. Literature Review
Prior to performing the habitat assessment, Soar Environmental conducted a review of the California Natural Diversity Database (CNDDB) and the California Native Plant Society (CNPS) Online Rare Plant Inventory for the Clovis, Fresno North, Fresno South, Friant, Gregg, Herndon, Kearney Park, Lanes Bridge, and Malaga 7.5-minute USGS quadrangles and the United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) Information for Planning and Consultation (IPaC).
The CNDDB search indicated that the Federal and/or State-listed special-status wildlife species most likely to occur within or near the Project site are Swainson’s hawk, vernal pool fairy shrimp, California tiger salamander, tricolored blackbird, valley elderberry longhorn beetle and San Joaquin kit fox. Fresno kangaroo rat (FKR) appeared in the CNDDB search, however FKR is listed as extirpated in CNDDB and will not be mentioned further for this reason. Rare and endangered plants known from the region include California Jewelflower, Hartweg’s golden sunburst, succulent owl’s clover, San Joaquin Valley Orcutt grass and Hairy Orcutt grass.
The IPaC search revealed Federally listed sensitive species likely to occur within or near the Project site are San Joaquin kit fox, blunt-nosed leopard lizard, giant garter snake, California red-legged frog, California tiger salamander, delta smelt, vernal pool fairy shrimp. The Federally listed plants species known from the region are fleshy owl’s clover, hairy Orcutt grass, San Joaquin Orcutt grass.
3.2. Pedestrian Biological Assessment
3.2.1. Field Reconnaissance Methodology
On December 7, 20 20, Soar Environmental biologist Travis Albert began the pedestrian habitat assessment beginning from the northwest corner of the project boundary from Milburn Avenue, parallel to the John Steinbeck Elementary school. He noted a passerine bird nest in a large live oak tree along the fence (Figures 12 & 13). The nest tree is approximately 4 meters north of the project boundary on the schoolyard side. Although the nest is not within the project boundary, it is close enough to be affected by noise disturban ce from project activities. Proceeding east along the northern boundary, Mr. Albert noted numerous small mammal burrows within the Project Footprint, averaging approximately 3 inches in diameter.
From the northwest corner proceeding south along the eastern boundary there was a peculiar rodent den that appeared to be stuffed with oranges from an orange tree on the adjec t residential property to the east (Figure 16 & 17). Inside the eastern boundary there is a cottonwood tree with 2 woodpecker cavities, too shallow to be nest cavities (Figure 15).
The southern boundary parallels Dakota Avenue. Other than small mammal burrows , there are no distinguishing characteristics along the southern boundary. The southwest corner of the project site is at the intersection of Dakota Avenue and Milburn Avenue. There are no distinguishing characteristics along the western boundary which parallels Milburn Avenue.
After surveying the perimeter of the project area, the biologist walked 2 rectangular survey route s, interior and parallel to the boundary, effectivel y covering the entire parcel. Other than multiple small mammal burrows all over the project site there are no other suitable habitat characteristics for any of the above mentioned species.

3.2.3. Field Reconnaissance Results
During the field reconnaissance, there were no observations of special -status species. The Project site is an open field, heavily disturbed from tilling, or agricultural equipment, although there is no sign of agricultural crops. The field is dominated by Russian thistle (an invasive, non-native tumbleweed), and shortpod mustard. The soil is alkaline, loose, and chalky, with large patches of bare earth and numerous connected small mammal burrows.
Wildlife species observed include ground squirrels, and California scrubjay. There was also a host of sparrows perching near a nest in the live oak tree depicted in (Figures 12 & 13). This Tree is approximately 4 meters north of the observation point 36.78702, -119.875195 (Figure 12).
Plant species observed include Russian thistle (Kali targus), shortpod mustard (Hirschfeldia incana), dove weed (Croton setigerus), and one cottonwood tree on the east boundary of the Project Site. There is also a valley live oak tree just outside the northern boundary of the Project Site.
The Project site contains potentially suitable habitat for the following species: San Joaquin kit fox, blunt- nosed leopard, and giant garter snake. Immediately outside the vicinity of the project area there are trees and bushes that create suitable nesting habitat for Swainson's hawk, Costa’s hummingbird, Lawrence’s goldfinch, Nuttall’s woodpecker, Rufous hummingbird, and the spotted towhee.

3.3. Plants
3.3.1. California jewelflower (Caulanthus californicus) California jewelflower (CJ) is listed as End angered on the Federal level and as Endangered on the State level. CJ is an annual herb in the mustard family, growing to approximately a foot (12 inches) tall, with white and maroon flowers. This is found only in the south San Joaquin valley and adjacent coastal ranges.
CJ has a blooming period between March and May.
During the field survey, the Soar Biologist did not observe signs of CJ within the Project footprint or surrounding areas. Potential suitable habitat is eliminated from ground disturbance , urbanization, and agricultural development in this area.
CNDDB records do not contain any observations of CJ in the Hendon or Fresno North 7.5-minute quadrangle in more than 30 years. According to CNDDB no habitat for this species remains in the vicinity of Fresno according to Taylor (1986).
3.3.2 San Joaquin Valley Orcutt grass (Orcuttia inaequalis) San Joaquin Valley Orcutt grass (SVOG) is a Federally Threatened and State Endangered. SVOG is a small, hairy, gray -green annual bunchgrass forming tuft s up to about 15 centimeters tall. A fluffy mass of inflorescent spikelets distinguishes this Orcutt grass from others, which have more spreading inflorescences. It occurs in wet land-riparian habitat, vernal -pools, and grassland and has a blooming period between April and September.
During the field survey, the Soar Biologist did not observe signs of SVOG within the Project footprint or surrounding areas. No wetlands, or vernal pool habitats occur in the Project site.
CNDDB records do not contain any o bservations of SVOG in the Hend on or Fresno North 7.5 -minute quadrangle. According to CNDDB records, the closest known occurrence of this species in Lanes Bridge
7.5-minute quadrangle, approximately 12 miles northeast of the Project site in June 2017.
3.3.3. Hairy Orcutt grass (Orcuttia inaequlis)
Hairy Orcutt grass (HO G) is listed as Federally and State Endangered. It grows in tufts consisting of numerous stems. Stems are 5 to 20 centimeters long and branch from only the lower nodes. The plant bears long, soft hairs and has a grayish appearance. The terrestrial leaves are 3 to 6 millimeters wide. The inflorescence is 5 to 10 centimeters long with flattened spikel ets. This species is typically found near streams, alluvial fans and within annual grasslands.
During the field survey, no HOG was observed within the project footprint or surrounding areas. The project site is too dry to be suitable habitat for this sp ecies and there is no evidence that vernal pools occur on the project site.
CNDDB record s do not contain any observations of HOG in the Hendon or Fresno North 7.5 -minute quadrangle. According to CNDDB records, the nearest occurrence of this species was r ecorded in the Gregg 7.5- minute quadrangle, more than 13 miles northwest of the Project site in June 2017.
3.3.4. Succulent owl’s clover (Castilleja camperstris) Succulent owl’s clover (SOC) is a Federally Threatened and State Endangered. It is a small herbaceous annual plant found in vernal pools of the eastern San Joaquin Valley. The stems are generally 5 to 25 cm (2-10 inches) tall and may be branched or unbranched. Branches end in short, dense, green inflorescences.
The leaves are succulent and brittle. Yellow or white flowers bloom in May. SOC is found in vernal pools along the eastern San Joaquin Valley in the Southern Sierra Foothills.
During the field survey, no SOC was observed wit hin the project footprint or surrounding areas. The habitat on the project site is too dry to be suitable habitat for this species and there is no evid ence that vernal pools occur on the project site.
CNDDB records do not contain any observations of SOG i n the Hendon or Fresno North 7.5 -minute quadrangle. According to CNDDB records, the nearest occurrence of this species was recorded in the Lanes Bridge 7.5- minute quadrangle, 12 miles northeast of the Project site in April 2019.
3.3.6. Hartweg's golden sunburst (Pseudobahia bahiifolia) Hartweg's golden sunburst (HGS) is listed as a Federally and State Endangered species. It is a slender, woolly annual flower with one or a few stems 6 to 15 centimeters (2 -6 inches) tall, covered with white, wooly hairs. Leaves are narrow, alternate, three -lobed or entire with three blunt teeth at the apex, and about 1 to 2 cm (0.4 to 0.8 in.) long. Bright yellow flower heads, produced in March or April. It occurs in open grasslands and grasslands at the margins of blue oak woodland, primarily on shallow, well-drained, fine-textured soils.
During the field survey, no HGS was observed within the project footprint or surrounding areas. CNDDB records do not contain any observations of SOG in the Hendon or Fresno Nor th 7.5-minute quadrangle.
According to CNDDB records, the nearest occurrence of this species was recorded in the Friant 7.5- minute quadrangle, more than 16 miles northeast of the Project site in April 2010.
3.4. Invertebrates
3.4.1. Vernal pool fairy shrimp (Branchinecta lynchi)
Vernal pool fairy shrimp (VPFS) is listed as Threatened on the Federal level and has no listing on the State level. VPFS are 2 .5 centimeters (one inch) long, translucent crustaceans with 11 pairs of appendages.
VPFS are limited to vernal pool habitats in Oregon and California and do not occur in riverine, marine, or other permanent bodies of water where fish are present. During the wet season, the females produce hardy resting eggs, called cysts, which survive the dry season and hatch when the rains come again.
During the field survey, no signs of VPFS were observed within the Project footprint or surrounding areas.
The habitat on the Project Site is not suitable for VPFS as there are no vernal pool characteristics present (hydric soil, wetland vegetation, and hydrology).
CNDDB records do not contain any observations of VPFS in the Hendon or Fresno North 7.5 -minute quadrangles. According to CNDDB records, the nearest occurrence of this species in Fresno County was recorded in the Gregg 7.5- minute quadrangle, 11 miles northwest of the Project site in January 2017.
3.5. Fish
3.5.1. Delta smelt (Hypomesus transpacificus)
Delta smelt (DS) is listed as Threatened on the Federal level and Endangered on the State level. DS are 60- 70 millimeters (2-3 inches) long, slim bodied fish with a silver sheen. DS prefer shallow, fresh, or slightly brackish backwater sloughs and edgewaters with good water quality and substrate for spawning and are generally found in brackish waters below 25 degrees Celsius. The range of DS is restricted to the upper reaches of the San Francisco Bay and Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta Estuary.
The habitat on the Project site is not suitable for delta smelt as there is no waterway connecting this site to the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta Estuary. According to CNDDB no record of DS observation has been recorded anywhere in Fresno County.
3.6. Reptiles
3.6.1. Blunt-nosed leopard lizard (Gambelia silus)
Blunt-nosed leopard lizard (BNLL) is listed as Endangered on the Federal and the State level. BNLL have a light background with dark gray -brown spotting, giving it an almost Giraffe -like appearance. The body length of the BNLL ranges from 7 to 12 centimeters (3 to 5 inches), wit h a tail typically longer than the body. BNLL are found in the southern San Joaquin Valley and surrounding foothills and valleys. BNLL prefer flat areas with open space for running, includi ng semi -arid grasslands, alkali flats, and washes, utilize shrubs and small mammal burrows for cover and shelter, and typically avoid densely vegetated areas.
During the field survey, no signs of BNLL were observed within the Project footprint. There are multiple small mammal burrows present on -site that are potentially suitable habitat features for this species .
However, CNDDB records do not contain any observations of BNLL in the Herndon or Fresno North 7.5 - quadrangles, nor any of the adjacent quadrangles searched.
3.6.2. Giant garter snake (Thamnophis gigas)
Giant garter snake (GGS) is listed as Threatened on the Federal level. GGS are at least 162 centimeters (64 inches) long, with a brownish olive background, a yellow stripe down the center of the back, and a light- colored stripe on either side. GGS historically ranged from Kern County to Butte County, but due to habitat degradation, this species is thought to no longer occur south of Fresno County. GGS are found primarily in marshes, sloughs, drainage canals, irrigation ditches, and prefe rs locations with vegetation close to water for basking. GGS use small mammal burrows and vegetation piles for cover during hotter weather.
No signs of GGS were observed within the Project footprint or surro unding areas. The majority of small mammal burrows onsite are 3 inches or more which is too large for GGS and indicates a high density of
predators for this species. There is very little vegetation and no vegetated waterways or canals within the Project si te. Habitat for GGS on the Project site is poor , combined with surrounding urbanization the potential for occurrence of this species is very low, CNDDB records do not contain any observations of GGS in Fresno County.
3.7. Amphibians
3.7.1. California red-legged frog (Rana draytonii)
California red-legged frog (CRLF) is listed as Threatened on the Federal level and is considered a Species of Special Concern in California. CRLF are medium -sized frogs from 4.4 -13.3 centimeters (1.75 to 5.5 inches) long, with a slim waist, long legs, reddish brown, gray, or olive color with black flecks, dark mask on the head, and red on hind legs and lower belly. In the San Joaquin Valley, CRLF are not thought to occur south of Fresno County. CRLF are most commonly fo und in lowlands and foothills, p rimarily near ponds in humid forests, woodlands, grasslands, and coastal scrub, and prefer streamside locations with vegetative cover.
During the field survey, the Soar Biologist did not observe signs of CRLF within the Project footprint or surrounding areas. There are no water features within the Project area that would constitute habitat for this species. CNDDB records do not contain any observations of CRLF in the Herndon or Fresno North 7.5- quadrangles, nor any of the adjacent quadrangles searched for this report.
3.7.2. California tiger salamander (Ambystoma californiense) California tiger salamander (CTS) is listed as Endangered in Santa Barbara and Sonoma Counties, and Threatened in the Central San Joaquin Va lley. Adult CTS rang e in size from 15 -22 centimeters (6 to 9 inches) long and have a dark background color with distinctive yellow spots. Juvenile CTS look much like adults but lack the yellow spots. Larval CTS are grayish green in color and have the appearance of tadpoles with obvious, external gills. CTS eggs are clear and are typically laid singly or in groups of three or four in shallow ponds. This endemic California species is found in grasslands, oak savannah woodlands, edges of mixed woodland, l ower elevations of coniferous forests, and in heavily grazed fields along the Central California Coast and within the Central San Joaquin Valley, however, CTS may breed in ditches where water is present for a long enough duration for eggs and larvae to metamorphose into adults. During the non-breeding season (approximately late May through early November), CTS live in small mammal burrows, typically those of ground squirrels and pocket gophers.
During the field survey, no signs of CTS were observed within the Project footprint or surrounding areas.
There are no suitable habitat features on site for this species. However, CNDDB records show the nearest most recent observation of CTS was 0.5 mile away in February 2017 , on a property near the corner of Ashlan Avenue and Blythe Avenue. The animal was relocated by a local Biologist.
3.8. Birds
3.8.1. Swainson’s hawk (Buteo swainsoni)
Swainson’s Hawk (SWHA) is listed as Threatened on the State level. SWHA favors open habitat for foraging such as agricultural fields, pastures, and row crops. They nest in scattered stands of eucalyptus, willow, oak, cottonwood, and conifers. On occasion, SWHA will nest on a power pole or transmission tower.
Nests are constructed with loose bundles of sticks and debris items. Incubatio n period is approximately 35 days and nesting period is 17-22 days. The breeding season for this species begins in March and ends in September.
During the site visit t here were no observation of S WHA. The area within and proximate to the Project Site is poor raptor nesting habitat due to urban development. However, there is foraging habitat on the Project Site. The nearest recent occurrence of SWHA was 14 miles north in the Lanes Bridge 7.5 minu te quadrangle in May 2017. CNDDB records do not contain any observations of SWHA in the Herndon or Fresno North 7.5-minute quadrangles.
3.8.2 California trasher (Toxostoma redivivum)
Habitat includes chaparral, foothills, valley thickets, parks, gardens. Within its range, found in practically any lowland habitat with dense low brush. Most common in chaparral, also occurs in streamside thickets and in suburban neighborhoods that have enough vegetation. Extends into edges of desert regions, and in chaparral in mountains up to about 6,000 feet. Nests are usually placed in a dense shrubs or thickets, less than 10 feet above the ground.
This species was not observed during the Site visit. No suitable habitat was observed on the Project site.
However, surrounding areas might contain pockets of potential suitable habitat for this species.
3.8.3 Costa’s Hummingbird (Calypte costae)
Costa's Hummingbirds occur in Sonoran and Mojave Desert scru b, coastal California chaparral and sage scrub, and deciduous forest and desert scrub in Baja California, Mexico. In the Sonoran Desert they occur in desert washes with palo verde, jojoba, desert lavender, or chuparosa, on steep rock slopes, and in lowlands with saguaro, creosote bush, and cholla cacti typically below 3,000 feet elevation.
Female Costa's Hummingbirds typically build a nest 3–7 feet above the ground in palo verde, ironwood, cholla, acacia, graythorn, and other shrubs. She frequently places the nest in relatively open areas without much vegetation cover.
This species was not observed during the Site visit. No suitable habitat was observed on the Project site.
However, surrounding areas might contain pockets of potential suitable habitat for this species.
3.8.4 Lawrence’s Goldfinch (Carduelis lawrencei)
Habitat includes o ak-pine woods, chaparral. Breeds locally in a variety of habitats including streamside trees, oak woodland, open pine woods, pinyon -juniper woods, chaparral. Often found close to water in dry country. In migration and winter, occurs in weedy fields, farmland, brushy areas, streamside’s.
Nest site is usually about 15 -20 feet above the ground in tree s such as oak, cypress, sycamore, or pine, sometimes lower in shrubs or up to 40' above the ground.
This species was not observed during the Site visit. No suitable habitat was observed on the Proje ct site.
However, surrounding areas might contain pockets of potential suitable habitat for this species.
3.8.5 Nuttall’s Woodpecker (Picoides nuttallii)
Habitat includes wooded canyons and foothills, river woods. In much of range almost always around oaks, especially where oaks meet other trees along rivers, also in pine -oak woods in foothills. In southern California also in riverside cottonwoods, sycamores, willows, even if no oaks present. At eastern edge of range may venture out into mesquite or other dry woods.
Nest sites are cavities in live or dead tree s, usually cottonwood, willow, or sycamore near oak wood s, sometimes in utility pole, fence post, or oak or another tree. Cavity usually 3 -35' above ground, sometimes up to 60' or higher. Male does most of excavating, new nest cavity every year.
This species was not observed during the Site visit. No suitable habitat was observed on the Project site.
However, surrounding areas might contain pockets of potential suitable habitat for this species.
3.8.6 Rufous Hummingbird (Selasphorus rufus)
Habitat includes forest edges, streamside’s, mountain meadows. Breeding habitat includes forest edges and clearings, and brushy second growth within the region of northern coast and mountains. Winters mostly in pine-oak woods in Mexico. Migrants occur at all elevations but more commonly in lowlands during spring, in mountain meadows during late summer and fall.
Nest site is usually well concealed in lower part of coniferous trees, deciduous shrubs, vines. Located 3- 30 feet above the ground, usually lower than 15 feet, although nests may be higher later in the season.
Old nests may be refurbished and reused. Nests are a compact cup of grasses, moss, plant down, spider webs, and other soft materials, the outside camouflaged with lichens and moss.
This species was not observed during the Site visit. No suitable habitat was observed on the Project site.
However, surrounding areas might contain pockets of potential suitable habitat for this species.
3.8.7 Spotted Towhee (Pipilo maculatus clementae)
Habitat includes open woods, undergrowth, brushy edges. In the varied terrain of the West, this towhee often lives in chaparral, mountain manzanita thickets, scrub oaks, or pinyon -juniper woods with dense understory.
Nest site is on the ground under a shrub, or in low bushes, usually less than 5 feet above the ground .
Nests are an open cup of grass, twigs, weeds, rootlets, strips of bark, lined with finer materials, sometimes including animal hair.
This species was not observed during the Site visit. No suitable habitat was observed on the Project site.
However, surrounding areas might contain pockets of potential suitable habitat for this species.
3.9. Mammals
3.9.1. San Joaquin kit fox (Vulpes macrotis mutica)
The San Joaquin kit fox (SJKF) is listed as Threatened at the Federal level and Endangered at the State level. SJKF are petite, light-colored canids, approximately 50 centimeters (20 inches) in length, with bushy, black-tipped tails, large ears, and point ed snouts. SJKF are fond of alkali meadows, playas, grassland communities, scrubland, and wetland communities in the San Joaquin Valley and adjoining foothills. SJKF have adapted to human habitation and can also be found in more developed areas such as g olf courses, airports, and residential areas.
During the field survey, no signs of SJKF occupancy within the Project footprint or surrounding areas. Small mammal burrows were observed all over the project area, many with interconnected openings, others collapsed or with debris obstructing the openings. The openings measure 3 to 4 inches on average and lack the distinctive keyhole shape of SJKF dens. Most burrows do not appear to be currently used .
However, the Soar biologist witnessed a ground squirrel running into the burrow depicted in Figure #18.
Potential suitable habitat SJKF is poor due to the level of ground disturbance and urbanization around the Project site.
The closest and most recent occurrence of SJKF in the 9 quadrangle search of CNDDB records is in the Herndon 7.5-minute quadrangle approximately 2.75 mile northwest of the Project site in May 1993.
4. Presence of Potential Jurisdictional Waters or Wetlands The presence of potential jurisdictional waters or wetlands is determined through researching references located in Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) flood inundation maps, general and community plans, mitigation plans, and technical support documents for application of the Clean Water Rule. No natural potential jurisdictional water features were observed on the Project site. The land in the Project area is absent of hydrophytic vegetation and the soil is very dry and friable.
5. Findings
The Project site is highly disturbed with tilling marks in the soil. Soil is alkaline and friable or easily crumbled, with ground squirrel burrows throughout the Project site. Vegetation is mostly Russian thistle (Kali targus), a non -native tumble weed, and shortpod mustard (Hirschfeldia incana). There are no drainages or surface water and little to no grass. There is one Fremont cottonwoo d tree (Populus fremontii) along the eastern boundary with 2 woodpecker cavities (not large enough to be nest cavities).
There are no other trees except one small tree of heaven shrub ( Trichostema lanceolatum) near the southeast corner of the Project bound ary. To the west there is a church parking lot and residential properties to the east and south. There is potential nesting habitat in the trees and shrubs around the Project site, but there is no nesting habitat within the project boundary.
The Project site contains potentially suitable habitat for the following species: San Joaquin kit fox, and blunt-nosed leopard. Immediately outside the vicinity of the project area there are trees and brush that
create suitable nesting habitat for Swainson's hawk, Costa’s hummingbird, Lawrence’s goldfinch, Nuttall’s woodpecker, Rufous hummingbird, and spotted towhee.

6. Recommendations
Despite no special status species being observed during the pedestrian survey, suitable habitat for some of these species may be present within the proposed Project footprint, depending on the time of year that Project activities occur.
Blunt-nosed leopard lizard Recommendations
Soar Environmental recommends that any small mammal burrows within the Project footprint be surveyed for Blunt-nosed leopard lizard by a qualified biologist no more than 30 days prior to ground disturbance activities. All blun t-nosed leopard lizard surveys will be performed in accordance with the most recent CDFW survey protocols (CDFW 2004).
California tiger salamander Recommendations
Although there is no suitable habitat for CTS on the Project site. CNDDB records note CTS adult observed and relocated ½ mile from the Project site in 2017. Soar Environmental recommends any small mammal burrows within the Pro ject footprint be surveyed for California tiger salamander by a qualified biologist no more than 30 days prior to ground d isturbance activities, and verify burrows are clear of any wildlife species when ground disturbing activities occur. All amphibian surveys will be performed in accordance with the most recent USFWS/CDFW survey protocols (USFWS/CDFW 2003).
San Joaquin kit fox Recommendations
Soar Environmental recommends that the burrow areas identified in Figures 16 - 20, and any small mammal burrows with appropriate dimensions in those habitat areas be surveyed for San Joaquin kit fox by a qualified biologist no more than 30 days prior to ground disturbance activities and verify burrows are clear of any wildlife species when ground disturbing activities occur . All mammal surveys will be performed in accordance with the most recent USFWS survey protocols (USFWS 1999).
Swainson’s Hawk and Nesting Bird Recommendations
Soar Environmental recommends performing construction activities outside the bird nesting season (February 15 to September 15). If Project activities are proposed during the nesting season, Soar Environmental recommends that the Project site and the surrounding utility poles be surveyed by a qualified biologist for nesting birds to avoid any adverse impacts leading to nest failure or abandonment.
Active nests of non-raptors should be avoided by at least 50 feet. Active nests of raptors should be avoided by at least 100 feet. All nests should be monitored during Project activities for signs of distress. If signs of distress are observed, Project activities should be adjusted to prevent further disturbance to the birds.

CULTURAL RESOURCES RECORDS SEARCH
The Cali fornia O ffice of Historic Pres ervation (OHP) contracts with the California Historical R esources Information System’s (CHRIS) regional Information Centers (ICs) to maintain information in the CHRIS inventory and make it availabl e to loca l, state, an d federal agencies, cu ltural resource professionals, Native American tribes, researchers, and t he public. Re commendations made by IC c oordinators or their st aff regarding the interpretation and application of this information are advisory only. Such recommendations do not necessarily represent the eval uation or opinion of the State Historic Preserva tion Officer in carrying out the OHP’s regulatory authority under federal and state law.
The following are the results of a search of the cultural resource files at the Southern San Joaquin Valley Information Center. These files include known and recorded cultural resources sites, inventory an d excavation reports fi led with this office, a nd re sources l isted on the Nati onal Register of Histori c Places, the OHP Built Environment Resources Di rectory, California State His torical L andmarks, Californi a Register of Historical Resources, California Inventory of Historic R esources, and California Points of Hist orical Interest. Due t o processing delays and other factors, n ot all of the historical resource reports and re source records that have been submitt ed to the OHP are available via this rec ords search. A dditional information may b e ava ilable through the federal, state, and local agencies t hat produced or paid for historical resource management work in the search area.

Record Search 20-195
KNOWN/RECORDED CULTURAL RESOURCES WITHIN THE PROJECT AREA AND THE ONE-HALF MILE RADIUS
There are no recorded resources within the project area, and it is not known if any exist there . There are two recorded resources within the one-half mile radius, P-10-005391 and P-10-005392. These resources are both historic era buildings.
There are no recorded cultural resources within the project area or radius that are listed in the National Register o f H istoric Places , the Cali fornia Reg ister of H istorical R esources, the Ca lifornia Points of Histo rical Interest, California Inventory of Historic Resources, or the California State Historic Landmarks.
COMMENTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
We understand this project consists of construction of a public park that will include new park amenities and landscaping on approximately 4.5 acres of vacant land. The one cultural resource study conducted on a small portion of project area wa s completed nearly 30 years ago. Due to changes in field methods and technology, a cultural resources study is only considered valid for up to five years. Because a cultural resources study has not been completed on most of this property, it is unknow n if cultural resources are p resent.
Therefore, prior to ground disturbance activities, we recommend a qualified, professional con sultant conduct a field survey of the ent ire project area to determine if cultural resources are present. A list of qualif ied consultants can be found at www.chrisinfo.org.
We also recommend that you contact the Native American Heritage Commission in Sacramento. They will p rovide you wi th a curr ent li st of N ative A merican individuals/organizations that can assist you wi th information regarding cultural resources that may not be included in the CHRIS Inventory and that may be of concern to t he Native groups in t he area. The C ommission can consult their "Sacred Lands Inventory" file in order to determine what sacred resources, if any, ex ist within this p roject area and t he way in which th ese resources might be man aged. Finally, please consult with the lead agency on this project to determine if any other cultural resource investigation is required. If you need any additional information or have any questions or concerns, please contact our office at (661) 654-2289.
