Introduction
This Biological Resources Assessment (“Assessment”) describes the known and potentially-occurring biological resources at Chris Carr Park (“Carr Park” or “Project Site”), located in the City of Huntington Beach, Orange County, California. As shown herein, while special status biological resources have been documented on the Project Site, the Project would not be expected to have signi ﬁcant eﬀects on these biological resources.

Project Site Location
Carr Park is located on approximately 11.2 acres of land on the southeast corner of the intersection of Heil Avenue and Springdale Street in the City of Huntington Beach, Orange County, California. On the Public Land Survey System, Carr Park is located within the La Bolsa Chica Land Grant of the US Geological Survey's 7.5- minute Seal Beach quadrangle. Carr Park’s location is shown below in Figure 1.

Figure 1. Project Location Map
Project Description
The proposed project involves the grading and construction of improvements to Carr Park, including reconstruction of the existing Carr Park Duck Pond, installation of new park landscaping and turf grass, and the construction of outdoor meeting space, ﬁshing docks and decomposed granite walkways. The existing

1.02-acre duck pond would be drained to facilitate the grading and construction of a new approximately 3- acre duck pond. The proposed duck pond would incorporate water circulation and ﬁltering design to improve and maintain pond water quality. Natural areas around the lake would be landscaped with aquatic and

wetland plant species. Artiﬁcial reefs would be installed in various locations around the lake bottom to provide habitat for ﬁsh. The park will be landscaped with turf grass and include more natural areas with meadow grasses and trees. Existing native and mature trees within Carr Park will be preserved and incorporated into the landscaping plan. A “green buﬀer” incorporating vegetation that beneﬁts local wildlife and birds will be installed along the east and south park boundary. The pond would be improved for public use through the construction of ﬁshing docks at various locations along the bank and a walking path/bridge. An outdoor meeting space with seating would be constructed within the northern portion of the park. The park amenities will be accessed via a meandering paved walkway, which will include several neighborhood sidewalk connections along the east, west and north park boundaries.

Deﬁnitions
The following are key areas referenced in this Assessment:
•Project Site: The Project Site is the 11.21 acres of Carr Park. The Project Site is also the Biological Study Area for this Assessment.
•Regional Study Area: The Regional Study Area is the area for which taxa and habitat records were pulled from most biological resource databases. It includes the 7.5-minute US Geological Survey quadrangle the Project Site is located in and all surrounding quadrangles: Anaheim, Long Beach, Los Alamitos, Newport Beach, and Seal Beach. The Regional Study Area is depicted in the Desktop Review Report provided as Appendix B.

Regulatory Setting
The following summarizes regulations and other resource protection mechanisms that are known to be or potentially are applicable to biological resources on the Project Site. Key species status terms and their abbreviations, used later in this report, are in bold text.

Federal
Federal Endangered Species Act
The Federal Endangered Species Act (FESA) is the federal government’s tool to protect rare and declining plant and wildlife species. It is implemented jointly by the US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS, terrestrial species) and the National Marine Fisheries Service. FESA protects species using the following status designations:
•An endangered (FE) species is a species of invertebrate, plant, or wildlife formally listed under FESA as facing extinction throughout all or a signiﬁcant portion of its geographic range. •A threatened (FT) species is a species of invertebrate, plant, or wildlife formally listed under FESA as likely to become endangered within the foreseeable future throughout all or a signiﬁcant portion of its range.

A proposed threatened (FPT) or proposed endangered (FPE) species is one oﬃcially proposed for addition to the federal threatened or endangered species lists. A candidate (FC) species is one under review for listing, often due to the submittal of a petition by an outside entity. "Take" of a federally endangered or threatened species or its habitat is prohibited by federal law without a special permit. The term "take", under FESA, means to harass, harm, pursue, hunt, shoot, wound, kill, trap, capture, or collect, or to attempt to engage in such conduct. “Harm” is deﬁned to encompass "an act which actually kills or injures wildlife. Such an act may include signiﬁcant habitat modiﬁcation or degradation where it actually kills or injures wildlife by signiﬁcantly impairing essential behavioral patterns, including breeding, feeding or sheltering" (50 CFR 17.3).

FESA also requires the USFWS to consider whether there are areas of habitat essential to conservation for each listed species. Critical habitat (CH) designations protect these areas, including habitat that is currently unoccupied but may be essential to the recovery of a species. An area is designated as critical habitat after the USFWS publishes a proposed Federal regulation in the Federal Register and then receives and considers public comments on the proposal. The ﬁnal boundaries of critical habitat are oﬃcially designated when published in the Federal Register.

Migratory Bird Treaty Act
The Migratory Bird Treaty Act of 1918 (MBTA) is a federal law governing the taking, killing, possession, transportation, and importation of various birds, their eggs, parts, and nests. The take of any number of a bird species listed as protected on any one of four treaty lists is governed by the MBTA's regulation of taking migratory birds for educational, scientiﬁc, and recreational purposes and requiring harvest to be limited to levels that prevent over utilization. The MBTA also prohibits taking, possession, import, export, transport, selling, purchase, barter, or oﬀering for sale, purchase or barter, certain bird species, their eggs, parts, and nests, except as authorized under a valid permit (50 CFR 21.11).

Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act
The Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act (BGEPA) (16 U.S.C. 668-668c), enacted in 1940, and amended several times since then, prohibits anyone, without a permit issued by the Secretary of the Interior, from "taking" eagles, including their parts, nests, or eggs. The Act provides criminal penalties for persons who "take, possess, sell, purchase, barter, oﬀer to sell, purchase or barter, transport, export or import, at any time or any manner, any bald eagle ... [or any golden eagle], alive or dead, or any part, nest, or egg thereof." The Act deﬁnes "take" as "pursue, shoot, shoot at, poison, wound, kill, capture, trap, collect, molest or disturb." For purposes of the guidelines, "disturb" means: “to agitate or bother a bald or golden eagle to a degree that causes, or is likely to cause, based on the best scientiﬁc information available, 1) injury to an eagle, 2) a decrease in its productivity, by substantially interfering with normal breeding, feeding, or sheltering behavior, or 3) nest abandonment, by substantially interfering with normal breeding, feeding, or sheltering behavior." In addition to immediate impacts, this deﬁnition also covers impacts that result from human-induced alterations initiated around a previously used nest site during a time when eagles are not present, if, upon the eagle's return, such alterations agitate or bother an eagle to a degree that interferes with or interrupts normal breeding, feeding, or sheltering habits, and causes injury, death or nest abandonment.

Birds of Conservation Concern
The Birds of Conservation Concern (BCC) list “identiﬁes the migratory and non-migratory bird species (beyond those already designated as federally threatened or endangered) that represent [the USFWS’s] highest conservation priorities. The list is based on an assessment of several factors, including population abundance and trends, threats on breeding and nonbreeding grounds and size of breeding and nonbreeding ranges. Bird species considered for the BCC include: nongame birds gamebirds without hunting seasons subsistence-hunted nongame birds in Alaska ESA candidate, proposed, and recently delisted species.” 1 State of California
California Endangered Species Act
The California Endangered Species Act (CESA) is the State of California’s tool to protect rare and declining plant and wildlife species. Plant and animal species may be designated threatened or endangered under CESA after a formal listing process by the California Fish and Game Commission. Implementation of CESA is by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW). CESA protects species using the following status designations:
•An endangered (CE) species is a species of plant or wildlife whose prospects of survival and reproduction are in immediate jeopardy.
•A threatened (CT) species is a species of plant or wildlife present in such small numbers throughout its range that it is considered likely to become an endangered species in the near future in the absence of special protection or management.

A candidate (CC) species is one formally under review for listing. Candidates species are protected from take by CESA during the review process.

Fully Protected Animals
CDFW describes the Fully Protected (FP) animals list as “the State's initial eﬀort in the 1960's to identify and provide additional protection to those animals that were rare or faced possible extinction. Lists were created for ﬁsh, amphibians, reptiles, birds and mammals. Fully Protected species may not be taken or possessed at any time and no licenses or permits may be issued for their take except for collecting these species for necessary scientiﬁc research, relocation of the bird species for the protection of livestock, or if they are a covered species whose conservation and management is provided for in a Natural Community Conservation Plan.”
2 Species of Special Concern
Species of special concern (SSC) is an informal designation used by the CDFW for some declining wildlife species that are not oﬃcially listed as endangered, threatened, or rare. This designation does not provide legal protection, but signiﬁes that these species are recognized as vulnerable by CDFW.

California Rare Plant Ranks
While not a government agency, the California Native Plant Society (CNPS) is a statewide resource conservation organization that has developed an inventory of California's special-status plant species that is highly regarded by the agencies and biologists. This inventory is a summary of information on the distribution, rarity, and endangerment of California's vascular plants. Rare or potentially rare plant species are ranked using the following system (CRPR):
•1A: Plants Presumed Extirpated in California and Either Rare or Extinct Elsewhere. •1B: Plants Rare, Threatened, or Endangered in California and Elsewhere •2A: Plants Presumed Extirpated in California, But Common Elsewhere •2B: Plants Rare, Threatened, or Endangered in California, But More Common Elsewhere •3: Plants About Which More Information is Needed - A Review List •4: Plants of Limited Distribution - A Watch List
After each rarity ranking, there is also a threat ranking:
•0.1: Seriously threatened in California (over 80% of occurrences threatened / high degree and immediacy of threat)
•0.2: Moderately threatened in California (20-80% occurrences threatened / moderate degree and immediacy of threat)
•0.3: Not very threatened in California (less than 20% of occurrences threatened / low degree and immediacy of threat or no current threats known)

California Fish and Game Code Sections 3503, 3503.5, 3513 These California Fish and Game Code sections protect all birds, birds of prey, and all nongame birds, as well as their eggs and nests, for species that are not already listed as fully protected and that occur naturally within the state. Sections 3503 and 3503.5 of the CFGC stipulate the following regarding eggs and nests:

Section 3503 states that it is unlawful to take, possess, or needlessly destroy the nest or eggs of any bird, except as otherwise provided by California Fish and Game Code or any regulation made pursuant thereto; and Section 3503.5 states that is it unlawful to take, possess, or destroy any birds in the orders Falconiformes or Strigiformes (birds-of-prey) or to take, possess, or destroy the nest or eggs of any such bird except as otherwise provided by CFGC or any regulation adopted pursuant thereto. Section 3513 states that it is unlawful to take or possess any migratory nongame bird as designated in the MBTA or any part of such migratory nongame bird except as provided by rules and regulations adopted by the Secretary of the Interior under provisions of the MBTA.

California Environmental Quality Act
Appendix G of the CEQA Guidelines is used by public agencies to determine whether a project may have a signiﬁcant impact on biological resources. Under Appendix G (Section IV), a project may have a signi ﬁcant impact on biological resources if it would:
•Have a substantial adverse eﬀect, either directly or through habitat modi ﬁcation, on any species identiﬁed as a candidate, sensitive, or special status species in local or regional plans, policies, or regulations by the CDFW or USFWS.
•Have a substantial adverse eﬀect on any riparian habitat or other sensitive natural community identiﬁed in the City or regional plans, policies, or regulations by the CDFW or USFWS. •Have a substantial adverse eﬀect on federally protected wetlands as deﬁned by Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (including, but not limited to, marsh, vernal pool, coastal, etc.) through direct removal, ﬁlling, hydrological interruption, or other means.
•Interfere substantially with the movement of any native resident or migratory ﬁsh or wildlife species or with established native resident or migratory wildlife corridors, or impede the use of native wildlife nursery sites.
•Conﬂict with any local policies or ordinances protecting biological resources, such as tree preservation policy or ordinance (e.g., oak trees or California walnut woodlands). •Conﬂict with the provisions of an adopted Habitat Conservation Plan, Natural Community Conservation Plan, or other approved local, regional, or state habitat conservation plan.

In addition, Section 15065(a) of the CEQA Guidelines establishes that a signiﬁcant impact may occur if "[t]he project has the potential to substantially degrade the quality of the environment, substantially reduce the habitat of a ﬁsh and wildlife species, cause a ﬁsh or wildlife population to drop below self-sustaining levels, threaten to eliminate a plant or animal community, [or] reduce the number or restrict the range of an endangered, rare or threatened species."

Methods
This Assessment is informed by data from an expansive desktop review and a ﬁeld survey, the methods for which are described below. From this section forward, the more biologically accurate terms taxon and taxa are used in place of the term species used in most regulations because of the ﬂuid nature of modern taxonomy, with special status assignments often being made for subspecies and populations instead of entire species. The term species is only used where applicable to the discussion.

Deﬁnitions
Resource Status Designations Considered
A variety of agencies and respected non-proﬁt organizations assess the conservation status of plant and wildlife taxa and habitats, however, not all are applicable to this report. The following special status designations were considered when determining special status taxa and habitats to be discussed:
•Federal Status: Taxa listed as Endangered (FE) or Threatened (FT), as well as taxa Proposed as Endangered (FPE), Proposed as Threatened (FPT), Proposed for Delisting (FPD), and Candidates (FC) for listing under the Federal Endangered Species Act. Bald and Golden Eagles protected by the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act (BGEPA) and USFWS-listed Birds of Conservation Concern are also included.
•California Status: Taxa listed as Endangered (CE) or Threatened (CT), as well as taxa that are Candidates for Endangered (CCE) status, Threatened (CCT) status, or Delisting (CCD) under the California Endangered Species Act. Also considered are taxa listed as Fully Protected (FP) and Species of Special Concern (SSC).
•CNPS Status: California Rare Plant Ranks (CRPR) 1, 2, and 3. •NatureServe Element Ranks: NatureServe element state ranks were only considered for taxa when other criteria did not apply. Taxa were included with ranks of S1 (Critically Imperiled), S2 (Imperiled), and S3 (Vulnerable).
•Vegetation Communities: All vegetation communities mapped by the CNDDB.

Desktop Review
England|Ecology conducted a review of literature and data sources to characterize biological conditions and to compile records of special status biological resources that could potentially occur on the Project Site. The resources used for this analysis are described below.
•Soils: Soils on and in the vicinity of the Project Site were assessed using the Web Soil Survey tools provided by the US Department of Agriculture.

•Water: Potential water resources were examined using the US Geological Survey’s National Hydrography Dataset and the USFWS National Wetlands Inventory.
4 5
•Vegetation Communities: potentially-occurring sensitive vegetation community records were pulled from the California Natural Diversity Database (CNDDB) for the Regional Study Area. 6 •Flora and Fauna: potentially-occurring special status ﬂora and fauna records were pulled from the following data sources:
•Designated and proposed critical habitat layers from the US Fish & Wildlife Service . Taxa were 7 included if critical habitat was proposed or designated within the Regional Study Area. •CNDDB records from within the Regional Study Area.
•The California Native Plant Society (CNPS) Rare Plant Inventory records from within the Regional 8 Study Area.
•The USFWS-managed Information for Planning and Consultation (IPaC) database for records 9 returned when uploading the boundary of the Project Site.

In addition, records were searched locally within eBird and iNaturalist. 10 11
Occurrence Potential
England|Ecology assessed the potential for occurrence of special status plant and wildlife taxa and habitats based on data provided by the desktop review and observations made during the ﬁeld survey. For taxa for which ﬁeld observations could not de ﬁnitively determine occurrence, the following information was considered:
•Range: The Regional Study Area—from which records were gathered—is a large area capturing many taxa that would not be expected to occur in the Biological Study Area. In general, range determinations were made as follows:
•Flora: The range of the taxon is based on an export of point records of that taxon from Calﬂora 12 with each record provided a buﬀer of 10km.

range, it could be considered outside of range if the elevations in the Biological Study Area were more than ten percent outside of the known elevation range of the taxon. If alternative sources are used they are included in the notes.
•Fauna: The range of the taxon was determined diﬀerently based on the taxonomic group:
•Invertebrates and Fish: An export of records of that taxon from the Global Biodiversity Information Facility with each record provided a buﬀer of 10km. If alternative sources are used 13 they are included in the notes.
•Amphibians, Reptiles, Birds, and Mammals: California Wildlife Habitat Relationships range 14 data from the California Department of Fish and Wildlife. If alternative sources are used they are included in the notes.
•Habitat: If the Biological Study Area was determined to be outside of the taxon’s range, habitat was not assessed and is labeled “N/A”. If the Biological Study Area was determined to be within the taxon’s range, the quality of the habitats in the Biological Study Area to support any portion of that taxon’s life cycle was assessed and labeled as “Low”, “Medium”, or “High”. The rational for that determination is provided in the Notes of the desktop review report.

These occurrence potential assignments are deﬁned below:
•Present: Taxa or habitat/vegetation community is known to occur on the Project Site based on recent surveys, CNDDB (within 10 years), or other records.
•High: Taxa with known recent recorded occurrences/populations near the Project Site and highly suitable habitat occurs within the Project Site. Highly suitable habitat includes all necessary elements to support the taxon (e.g., elevation, hydrology, soils, cover, habitat type, food resources). •Moderate: Taxa with known recent recorded occurrences/populations near the Project Site; however, habitat within the Project Site has been moderately disturbed, fragmented, or is small in extent.

Moderately suitable habitat includes several elements to support the taxon (e.g., elevation, hydrology, soils, cover, habitat type, food resources). Furthermore, moderately suitable habitat may also be located at the edge of the taxon’s range, or there are no reported occurrences nearby. •Low: Taxa with few known recent recorded occurrences/populations near the Project Site and habitat within the Project Site is highly disturbed or extremely limited. A low potential is assigned to annual or perennial plant taxa that may have been detectable during a focused survey in the appropriate blooming period but was not found; however, small populations or scattered individuals are still considered to have a low potential to occur. Additionally, taxa for which poor-quality habitat may support the taxon within the Project Site, but the reported extant range is far outside the Project Site and/or any species observations would anticipate being migratory (i.e., not likely to reproduce within the Project Site).

•None: Taxa or habitat/vegetation community are not expected to be present because focused surveys were conducted and the taxon or habitat/vegetation community was not detected, or the taxon was found in the desktop review, but suitable habitat (soil, vegetation, elevational range) was not found on the Project Site, or the Project Site is not within the known geographic range of the species.

The potential for bird species were further distinguished into those that may: 1) nest within or near the Project Site; 2) forage within or near the Project Site; and/or 3) occur on or near the Project Site only as transients during migratory ﬂights or other dispersal events.

Field Survey
England|Ecology principal biologist Marcus C. England conducted a reconnaissance-level biological survey on the Project Site on February 13, 2024 from 0845 to 1330h. Weather conditions were mild and appropriate for such a survey to be conducted and are summarized below in Table 1. The survey focused on documenting the presence/absence and condition of water resources, vegetation communities and habitats, and ﬂora and fauna.

The Project Site, being small, was easily covered on foot walking transects of convenience to examine biological resources. Where necessary, observations were made with Leica Noctivid 8x42 binoculars and documented with a Nikon D500 camera paired with a Sigma 150-600mm lens. All other observations were documented using various applications and functions on an iPhone 15 Pro, including the Solocator app for 15 photographic documentation of site conditions and the QField app for collecting spatial (e.g., photo and 16 resource locations) and non-spatial (e.g., ﬂoral and faunal lists) tabular data. After the survey was completed, data in QField was synchronized to a geospatial database using QGIS 3.36. 17 In addition to the biological work completed speciﬁcally for this report, MNS Engineers completed work on the Project Site for a jurisdictional delineation. While the results of that report are summarized herein relative to water resources, we refer you to the jurisdictional delineation report for detailed information about methods and results.

Geospatial & Tabular Data Storage
All GIS-based resource analysis was conducted in QGIS 3.36, with either local data copies stored in a GeoPackage database or using a web service provided by the organization housing the data. Data speciﬁc to the Project Site is stored in a statewide GeoPackage database ﬁle.

Taxonomy & Nomenclature
It is important within a given report to use a consistent taxonomy for clarity in communication, especially as the various sources used in the research for a report may not use the same taxonomy and nomenclature. The taxonomic database underpinning England|Ecology’s work is updated monthly from NatureServe . 18 NatureServe’s taxonomy includes an Element Code for each taxon. These same Element Codes are used by a variety of agencies and organizations, including the California Department of Fish and Wildlife in the CNDDB and the California Native Plant Society in their Rare Plant Inventory. The Element Code provides a basis for linking records from disparate data sources. In all cases in this report, the taxonomic order and nomenclature are NatureServe’s, with the exception of the special status ﬂora discussion which is linked to a monthly 19 export of the Rare Plant Inventory. As such, while this report largely capitalizes common names consistent with the NatureServe taxonomy, tabular data exported for special status ﬂoral analysis does not use this convention, as it is not used by the California Native Plant Society. https://www.natureserve.org/classifying-biodiversity18
The author does not always agree with NatureServe’s taxonomy (such as where it varies from that of the American Ornithological Society), but it 19 provides a consistent basis for discussion across taxonomic groups.

Results
This section discusses in detail what is known about biological resources in the Biological Study Area based on information from a ﬁeld survey, 318 CNDDB records, 37 CNPS records, 29 IPaC records, and four critical habitat determinations in the Regional Study Area. It begins with a discussion of the Project’s biological setting and habitats, and ends with a discussion of the ﬂoral and faunal taxa that are known to occur or potentially occur in the Biological Study Area. Photographs of site conditions during the survey are provided in the Photo Log attached as Appendix C.

Biological Setting
Modern Carr Park is a green space located within an urban setting. Of course, the region was not historically so heavily-urbanized. Based on historic aerial photography available from the UC Santa Barbara FrameFinder site, the area appeared to be predominantly agricultural in 1927 (Figure 2). 20 Figure 2. Aerial showing Project Site and surroundings in 1927. The approximate location of modern Carr Park is highlighted with an orange rectangle.

Extant Vegetation Communities
England|Ecology mapped vegetation communities and land cover types on the Project Site based upon recent aerial photography and ﬁeld observations. This resulted in the classi ﬁcation/mapping of six community/land cover types in the Biological Study Area. These are discussed below and shown in Exhibit 1.

Artiﬁcial Water Feature
Artiﬁcial Water Feature comprises approximately 1.02 acres (9.1%) of the Biological Study Area. On the Project Site it measures approximately 1.02 acres in extent, or 9.1% of the site. Artiﬁcial Water Feature is not an oﬃcial Manual of California Vegetation alliance. Artiﬁcial water features are man-made, typically small bodies of water. In the area covered by this Assessment, the only area mapped as Artiﬁcial Water Feature is Carr Park Lake.

Disturbed - Impermeable Surface
Disturbed - Impermeable Surface comprises approximately 0.68 acres (6%) of the Biological Study Area. On the Project Site it measures approximately 0.68 acres in extent, or 6% of the site. Disturbed - Impermeable Surface is not an oﬃcial Manual of California Vegetation alliance. Impermeable Surfaces are parts of the built environment, including paved roads, sidewalks, walkways, and buildings. In general, areas mapped as this land cover type have little value for wildlife and are not considered habitat.

Disturbed - Permeable Surface
Disturbed - Permeable Surface comprises approximately 0.1 acres (0.9%) of the Biological Study Area. On the Project Site it measures approximately 0.1 acres in extent, or 0.9% of the site. Disturbed - Permeable Surface is not an oﬃcial Manual of California Vegetation alliance. Permeable Surfaces are parts of the built environment, including compacted but unpaved areas devoid of vegetation, gravel, and unimproved roads. In general, areas mapped as this land cover type have little value for wildlife and are not considered habitat, though in some cases—such as unimproved roads—they may occur within habitat Landscape - Forb
Landscape - Forb comprises approximately 8 acres (71.4%) of the Biological Study Area. On the Project Site it measures approximately 8 acres in extent, or 71.4% of the site. Landscape - Forb is not an oﬃcial Manual of California Vegetation alliance. The “forb” landscape type includes all managed but typically arti ﬁcially- planted areas of vegetation that are shorter than shrubs. This land cover type includes lawns. These areas have some value for wildlife, as landscape ﬂowers provide food for hummingbirds and butterﬂies, and lawns can provide foraging areas for some birds and small mammals. Their overall habitat value, however, is signiﬁcantly lower than any natural habitat they may have replaced. This land cover type is also typically dominated by non-native and often invasive plant species.

Landscape - Tree & Shrub
Landscape - Tree & Shrub comprises approximately 0.97 acres (8.7%) of the Biological Study Area. On the Project Site it measures approximately 0.97 acres in extent, or 8.7% of the site. Landscape - Tree & Shrub is not an oﬃcial Manual of California Vegetation alliance. The “tree & shrub” landscape type is a mix of taller vegetation dominated by non-native trees and typically set in a managed landscape environment. In some cases, native trees are included in this land cover type when part of landscaping and not a functional natural community. Habitat value of this land cover type varies signi ﬁcantly, however, urban environments with signiﬁcant tall tree cover often harbor a large number of wildlife. This is particularly true of birds.

Pepper Tree or Myoporum Groves (Schinus (molle, terebinthifolius) – Myoporum laetum Tree Semi- Natural Alliance)
Pepper Tree or Myoporum Groves (Schinus (molle, terebinthifolius) – Myoporum laetum Tree Semi-Natural Alliance) comprises approximately 0.44 acres (3.9%) of the Biological Study Area. On the Project Site it measures approximately 0.44 acres in extent, or 3.9% of the site. The CDFW code for this alliance is

79.200.00. It has a Global Rank of GNA and a State Rank of SNA. It is described in the Manual of California Vegetation as follows:

Species: Myoporum laetum, Schinus molle or Schinus terebinthifolius is dominant in the tree canopy .

Layers: Trees < 18 m tall; canopy is open to continuous. Shrubs are infrequent or common. Herbaceous layer is simple to diverse.

Habitats: Coastal canyons, washes, slopes, riparian areas, roadsides.

Holland (1986) Crosswalk: Southern riparian forest, Southern riparian scrub The only alliance mapped on the Project Site, this community is found on the artiﬁcial island in the center of Carr Park Lake. While it is dominated by Myoporum, native willows (Salix sp.) are also present.

Sensitive Vegetation Communities
The four sensitive vegetation communities mapped by the CNDDB as occurring within the Regional Study Area are shown below. The maps show the centroids of the CNDDB records in order to spatially depict the occurrences relative to the Project Site. The accounts highlight determinations of their potential occurrence on the Project Site as well as their potential to be adversely a ﬀected by the Project based on ﬁeld observations.

General Conclusions
The Project Site contains no sensitive communities, no native natural communities, and is predominantly maintained as well-manicured parkland for recreational uses.

Flora
The following section discusses ﬂora in the Biological Study Area, including known resources and the potential for occurrence of special status resources.

Floral Diversity
The list of ten ﬂoral taxa detected by England|Ecology is provided in the Floral & Faunal Compendium provided as Appendix A. No special status ﬂoral taxa from the Desktop Review were detected. The known or expected status of all special status ﬂora analyzed for this report are described in the next section.

Special Status Flora
The ﬂoral literature review identiﬁed 37 special status taxa to be considered for their potential occurrence.

This was based on records from the following sources:
•CNDDB: 109 occurrences of 27 ﬂoral taxa in the CNDDB for the Regional Study Area. •CNPS: 37 ﬂoral taxa in the CNPS Rare Plant Inventory for the Regional Study Area. •IPaC: two ﬂoral taxa recommended for consideration by IPaC based on an upload of the Project Site boundary.
•Critical Habitat: 0 ﬂoral taxa with proposed or designated critical habitat in the Regional Study Area.

Because of the heavily-managed landscape of the park, no special status ﬂora are expected to occur. As such, they are not discussed in detailed herein. All special status ﬂora considered for this report are discussed in the Desktop Review Report provided as Appendix B.

General Conclusions
No special status plants are known to occur or expected to occur on the Project Site due to the lack of natural habitats and surrounding development.

Fauna
The following section discusses fauna in the Biological Study Area, including known resources and the potential for occurrence of special status resources.

Faunal Diversity
The list of 25 faunal taxa detected by England|Ecology is provided in the Floral & Faunal Compendium provided as Appendix A. This list includes 0 amphibian, 0 reptile, 25 bird, and 0 mammal detections during ﬁeldwork conducted on the Project Site. The most commonly observed taxa were American Wigeon (Mareca americana), Mallard (Anas platyrhynchos), and American Coot (Fulica americana). A total of two special status faunal taxa were detected. The known or expected status of all special status fauna analyzed for this report are described in the next section.

A single site visit, however, does not capture the full scope of the fauna that occur at a site. Carr Park’s status as an eBird hotspot provides a comprehensive understanding of the avifauna that occur there. Most commonly occurring taxa are those associated with urbanized areas and ponds. The list of 158 avian taxa and their abundance estimations, as exported from eBird, is provided as Appendix B.

Special Status Fauna
The faunal literature review identiﬁed 71 special status taxa to be considered for their potential occurrence.

This was based on records from the following sources:
•CNDDB: 196 occurrences of 54 faunal taxa in the CNDDB for the Regional Study Area. •IPaC: 26 faunal taxa recommended for consideration by IPaC based on an upload of the Project Site boundary.
•Critical Habitat: Four faunal taxa with proposed or designated critical habitat in the Regional Study Area.

Of the 71 special status faunal taxa analyzed for this report, two were determined to be Present, 0 were determined to have a High potential for occurrence, one was determined to have a Moderate potential for occurrence, 14 were determined to have a Low potential for occurrence, and 54 were determined to have no potential for occurrence. Single occurrences of unexpected special status birds in eBird records were not treated as “Present”. These data are summarized in the Desktop Review Report provided in Appendix D. The accounts below summarize taxa determined to have moderate or higher occurrence potential. The maps show the centroids of the CNDDB records in order to spatially depict the occurrences relative to the Project Site (for taxa that are in the CNDDB). All data, including habitat descriptions, is directly from the CNDDB.

Other Considerations
Nesting Birds
Birds – including native species protected by the Migratory Bird Treaty Act and California Fish and Game Code – have the potential to nest in nearly any environment, including those heavily altered by anthropogenic activity. On the Project Site, trees and shrubs provide ample locations for potential nesting of many species that are regularly present at Carr Park. Publicly-available data do not provide any de ﬁnitive information on nesting bird species in Carr Park, including birds associated with the lake.

Wildlife Movement
Wildlife movement corridors are important for maintaining population levels and genetic diversity. As such, eﬀects on wildlife movement are an important consideration when discussing the natural resources of any area. At a small enough scale, any project or activity can potentially aﬀect the movement of wildlife if any wildlife are present at all. In general, however, the term “wildlife movement corridor” means an area of habitat that is important for the movement of wildlife between larger habitat areas or cores. As a relatively small block of green space in a large urban area, Carr Park would not be expected to be important to wildlife movement or function as a part of a wildlife movement corridor.

Effects and Minimization Measures
CEQA describes three types of potential project eﬀects that are pertinent to biological resources and are considered in this report:
•Direct Eﬀects: Section 15064(d)(1) of the CEQA Guidelines describes a direct eﬀect as “a physical change in the environment which is caused by and immediately related to the project.” In the context of the proposed project described in this report, direct eﬀects include adverse eﬀects that would occur to plants, wildlife, and vegetation communities within or immediately adjacent to the proposed Project footprint and other work areas.
•Indirect Eﬀects: Section 15064(d)(2) of the CEQA Guidelines describes an indirect e ﬀect as any “physical change in the environment, which is not immediately related to the project, but which is caused indirectly by the project. If a direct physical change in the environment, in turn, causes another change in the environment, then the other change is an indirect physical change in the environment.” Indirect eﬀects, also known as secondary eﬀects, are reasonably foreseeable and caused by a project but occur at a diﬀerent time or place. Examples of indirect eﬀects pertinent to many development projects could include a change in drainage patterns that ultimately aﬀect vegetation communities not otherwise aﬀected by the project or a reduction in native wildlife species resulting from a decrease in habitat.
•Cumulative Eﬀects: Section 15355 of the CEQA Guidelines describe a cumulative eﬀect as “two or more individual eﬀects which, when considered together, are considerable or which compound or increase other environmental impacts.” The CEQA Guidelines further state the following regarding cumulative eﬀects:
•The individual eﬀects may be changes resulting from a single project or a number of separate projects.
•The cumulative impact from several projects is the change in the environment which results from the incremental impact of the project when added to other closely related past, present, and reasonably foreseeable probable future projects. Cumulative impacts can result from individually minor but collectively signiﬁcant projects taking place over a period of time. •Section 15064 (h)(1) of CEQA Guidelines states that “the lead agency shall consider whether the cumulative impact is signiﬁcant and whether the eﬀects of the project are cumulatively considerable.” ‘Cumulatively considerable’ means that the incremental eﬀects of an individual project are signiﬁcant when viewed in connection with the eﬀects of past projects, the eﬀects of other current projects and the eﬀects of probable future projects”. Section 15064 (h)(2) states that “a lead agency may determine…that a project’s contribution to a signi ﬁcant cumulative impact will be rendered less than cumulatively considerable and thus is not signiﬁcant.” Spatial Extent of Eﬀects
Ultimately, implementation of the Project will aﬀect most of the area of Carr Park. The expansion of the lake is the most signiﬁcant portion of the Project in spatial extent and its biological eﬀects, with the large numbers of birds that attracted to the existing lake. No aspect of Project implementation, however, would be expected to have signiﬁcant adverse eﬀects on sensitive communities or special status ﬂora or fauna.

Eﬀects on Candidate, Sensitive, or Special Status Species The CEQA Guidelines require an assessment of whether the Project will have a substantial adverse eﬀect, either directly or through habitat modiﬁcations, on any species identiﬁed as a candidate, sensitive, or special status species in local or regional plans, policies, or regulations by the CDFW or USFWS.

As discussed previously, of the 71 special status faunal taxa analyzed for this report, two were determined to be Present, 0 were determined to have a High potential for occurrence, one was determined to have a Moderate potential for occurrence, 14 were determined to have a Low potential for occurrence, and 54 were determined to have no potential for occurrence. No special status ﬂora are expected to occur. The fauna that were determined to occur or potentially occur are reviewed below:
•California Gull - California Gull is a US Fish and Wildlife Service Bird of Conservation Concern. A mobile species, it does not breed locally. Project eﬀects would be restricted to temporary foraging and roosting habitat impacts. This is not a signiﬁcant adverse eﬀect and no minimization measures are required.

Upon project completion, the value of Carr Park to this species as foraging and roosting habitat is likely to increase.
•Allen’s Hummingbird - Allen’s Hummingbird is a US Fish and Wildlife Service Bird of Conservation Concern. This species likely breeds in the park and surrounding residential areas. Project e ﬀects include potential temporary adverse eﬀects on foraging and nesting habitat, as well potential eﬀects that could occur generally to active bird nests if work occurs during the nesting season. The latter of these is the only potentially signiﬁcant eﬀect of the Project. A measure to avoid impacts to nesting birds is provided below in the Eﬀects on Wildlife Movement and Nursery Sites section. •Silver-haired Bat - Silver-haired Bat is an S3S4 species. While it is unknown if this species is present at Carr Park, if it is present Project implementation could cause temporary impacts to foraging habitat.

This is not a signiﬁcant adverse eﬀect and no minimization measures are required. Upon project completion, the value of Carr Park to this species as foraging habitat is likely to increase.

The proposed Project will not have signiﬁcant direct, indirect, or cumulative eﬀects on candidate, sensitive, or special status species.

Eﬀects on Riparian Habitat or Other Sensitive Natural Communities The CEQA Guidelines require an assessment of whether the Project will have a substantial adverse eﬀect on any riparian habitat or other sensitive natural community identiﬁed in local or regional plans, policies, regulations, or by the CDFW or USFWS.

The proposed Project will not have signiﬁcant direct, indirect, or cumulative eﬀects on riparian habitat or other sensitive natural communities.

The jurisdictional delineation prepared by MNS Engineers has identi ﬁed 1.02 acres of state and federal jurisdictional non-wetland waters on the Carr Park site. These waters are associated with Carr Park’s lake.

The are no wetland or riparian habitats or other non-jurisdictional water features at Carr Park.

Eﬀects on State or Federally Protected Wetlands
The CEQA Guidelines require an assessment of whether the Project will have a substantial adverse eﬀect on state or federally protected wetlands (including, but not limited to, marsh, vernal pool, coastal, etc.) through direct removal, ﬁlling, hydrological interruption, or other means.

The proposed Project will not have signiﬁcant direct, indirect, or cumulative eﬀects on state or federally protected wetlands.

The are no wetland or riparian habitats or other non-jurisdictional water features at Carr Park.

Eﬀects on Wildlife Movement and Nursery Sites
The CEQA Guidelines require an assessment of whether the Project will interfere substantially with the movement of any native resident or migratory ﬁsh or wildlife species or with established native resident or migratory ﬁsh or wildlife species or with established native resident or migratory wildlife corridors, or impede the use of native wildlife nursery sites.

As discussed previously, the Project Site almost certainly has no value for wildlife movement at any level of consideration. As such, the proposed Project will not have signiﬁcant direct, indirect, or cumulative eﬀects on wildlife movement.

To comply with the Migratory Bird Treaty Act, it is recommended that pre-construction surveys for nesting birds by a qualiﬁed biologist take place within 300 feet of all project work areas within one week of the commencement of project infrastructure construction if work occurs during the nesting bird season, which is generally accepted as February 1 to August 31. To avoid potential take under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act, construction activities should not take place in the vicinity of any active bird nests. The recommended construction buﬀer zone around active bird nests varies by species and would need to be determined on an individual basis based on the opinion of the surveying biologist as agreed upon by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife. With the implementation of this measure, the proposed Project will not have signiﬁcant direct, indirect, or cumulative eﬀects on nesting birds or other wildlife nursery sites.

Eﬀects on Local Policies or Ordinances Protecting Biological Resources The CEQA Guidelines require an assessment of whether the Project will conﬂict with any local policies or ordinances protecting biological resources, such as tree preservation policy or ordinance.

There are no policies or ordinances within the City of Huntington Beach speciﬁc to biological resources. As such, the proposed Project will not conﬂict with local policies or ordinances protecting biological resources.

Eﬀects on the Provisions of an Adopted Habitat Conservation Plan The CEQA Guidelines require an assessment of whether the Project will conﬂict with the provisions of an adopted HCP , NCCP , or other approved local, regional, or state habitat conservation plan.
