The pro-posed residential use is fully compatible with existing and proposed developments in the vicinity of the site.. A biological survey report previously prepared on. this site determined that the loss of the pond aquatic habitat plus scattered individuals of Cal- ifornia adolphia is considered to be an adverse but non-significant effect of the project (see Appendix A). Noise and dust will be generated during the earthwork and construction phases, but this effect will be temporary. Landform impacts will be largely beneficial in that a large, highly visible stockpile of earth will be distributed over the site during grading operations. a COMMENTS OR ELABORATIONS TO ANY OF THE QUESTIONS IN SECTION..!

COMMENTS TO QUESTIONS IN SECTION 1 12) Scattered individuals of California adoiphia exist on both sides of the drainage area. This plant species currently carries no federal or state agency status but is designated by the California Native Plant Society (CNPS) as rare in California, and common elsewhere (elsewhere normally means Baja California). The :loss of this disjunct population within the project site is considered adverse but not significant (See previously prepared Biological Survey Report contained in Appendix A). 24 and 25) During the construction period, noise and dust will be generated from the use of earthmoving and other equipment. Incidental noise will also occur throughout the building and construction phase, but only during the hours designated by the City. These effects will be temporary, lasting only for the duration of the earthwork and construction phases. 29) A large (roughly 60,000 cy) stockpile of earth was placed on the property during the construction of Alga Road and Melrose Avenue in 1981-83. This earthen mound will be removed and distributed over the site during the earthwork phases of the project. The net effect will be largely beneficial in that the resulting landforrn will conform more closely to the natural topography of the area. The steep hill immediately west of the development area has been excluded from the project. and will remain in its existing state. !1 S BIOLOGICAL -RECONNAISSANCE OF MEADOWS CREST INTRODUCTION A biological survey of a portion of the Meadows Crest project area in La Costa, Carlsbad was made to determine the existing flora, fauna, and habitat types. This report describes the general distribution and component plants of the vegetative associations and discusses wildlife habitat resources and their use. Particular attention during the survey was given to determining the presence or absence of significant biological features on oradjacent to the pro- perty. Significant biological features are herein considered floral or faunal-species of rare and/or endangered status, depleted or declining faunal species, and' species and habitat types of unique or limited distribution. GEOGRAPHICAL LIMITS OF THE STUDY AREA The project area, totaling ±15 acres is situated in the eastern portion of the City of Carlsbad, County of San Diego. The future alignment of Melrose Avenue will form the eastern boundary of the property, which lies on the border between Carlsbad and unincorporated San Diego County. The northern property line will be defined by the future extension of Alga Road to intersect with Melrose Avenue. SURVEY ACTIVITIES AND DATES OF FIELDWORK A field survey of the study' area was conducted on 4 June, 1981 by WESTEC biologist Kathleen E. Mooers. Field- work, consisting of onsite review of biological resources, was conducted on foot throughout the entire project area. The survey took place in the morning under clear skies and warm temperatures. Faunal observations were made with the use of 10 x 50 binoculars. Extensive vegetative transect sampling and small mammal trapping were not undertaken for this reconnaissance survey. TA?.JTh T1P ' The project site is currently undeveloped open space which E has been previously used for agricultural or grazing purposes. A southeasterly drainage, which 'courses through. the property, has been dammed to form a catch basin. Property to the north is under development; the 'area to the south is the planned residential development known as Hidden Meadows. Property to the west remains natural and that to the east is occupied by a church and private residences. SOIL TYPES Soil types on the property include ATC (Altamont clay), EXE (Exchequer rocky silt loam), and HrC (Heuheuro loam) LU.S.Dept. Agriculture, 1973). FLORA. Two floral communities are present on the property: Dis- turbed Grassland and Pond -Aquatic (Thorne, 1976). The makeup and onsite distribution of these communities is discussed below. Floral nomenclature throughout the report follows Muñz (1974); common names for, the most part follow Higgins (1949). The disturbed grassland onsite is made up of ruderal, adventitious species such as wild oats '('Avena sp.), foxtail chess "(BromuS 'rubens), rye '(Elymus sp.), 'and goldentop '(Lamar- ckia aurea). A few isolated chaparral species are present, particularly on the steeper western portion of the site. These include sugar bush '('Rh'us ovata), white sage '('S'a'l'via apia'na), laurel sumac '('Rhus 'Iau.r'ina), elderberry "(S'anthuc'us' mexicana), and California adôlphi'a '('Adô'l'p'hia 'c'a'li'f'orn'i'ca). The pond aquatic vegetative community present onsite con- sists of a variety of' aquatic plants such as spike rush (Eleochar'is sp.), cat-tail '(Typha sp..),.bu1rush '('Sc'i'rpus sp.), rush (Juncus sp.), curly dock '(Rumex 'cri'spus), and smartweed (Polygonum sp.). Many weedy, species are also present due to the disturbed 'nature of the 'sorrounding area. Black mustard (Brassi'ca flig'ra) is quite common, as well, as sweet fennel (Fo'eni'cu'l'um vulg'are) and castor bean '(Ri'c'in'us''c'omrnün'is). A total of 37 plant species were recorded during the field survey. Of these, 17 (46 percent) are nonnative, introduced ~J) species. A plant species list is provided as Attachment A. FAUNA - Because of the disturbed character of the site and the lack of cover, wildlife is expected to be limited compared to nearby natural areas. The catch basin onsite, ahabitat,nörmally attractive to wildlife for water, will lose much of its appeal as the adjacent property is developed. An exhaustive species of "expected" fauna was not developed for the site, those species observed or deemed of interest are discussed in the report. Small mammal trapping was not con- ducted. Wildlife observations were made with the aid of 10 x '50 binoculars. Faunal nomenclature within the report follows that of American Ornithologists' Union (AOU, 1957, as revised) for birds, Jones et al. (1975) for mammals, and Stebbins (1966) for reptiles and amphibians. The most noticeable faunal element onsite was the avifauna. Species observed are: western meadowlark (Sturnella neglect,3), common raven (Corvus corax, 1), bushtit (Psaltriparus minimus,2), Anna's hummingbird (Calypte anna, 1), brown towhee (Pipilo fuscus, 1), red-winged-blackbird (Agelaius phoeniceus, common), and Bewick's wren (Thryomanes bewickii, 1). Two desert cottontails (Sylvilagus audulionii) were the only mammals observed. There were no reptiles or amphibians observed during the survey, though several species are expected to use.the basin onsite. HIGH INTEREST SPECIES/HABITATS Plant and animal species and habitat types are considered of high interest if they are: Rare, endangered, or threatened Of depleted or declining status, limited distribution Endemic or of unique distribution Rare, Endangered, or Threatened No plant or animal species listed or proposed for listing as rare, endangered, or threatened by the U S Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS, 1980) or the California Department of Fish and ., . Game (CDFG, 1978;.1979) was observed onsite. No species listed by the California Native Plant Society (CNPS, 1980) as rare and endangered or rare but not endangered was observed onsite. One plant species observed onsite is listed by the CNPS (1980) as rare in California but common elsewhere. For plants in this category from the San Diego area, elsewhere usually means Baja California. California adolphia (Adolph'ia californica), a spinescent low scrub, is found as scattered clumps and indi- viduals in the northwestern portion of the drainage onsite. An estimated total of 35 plants occur onsite. This species is rela- tively common in the La Costa area. A number of high interest plant species have been recorded for the general area. These were all considered during the field survey although some are less likely to occur onsite as they are normally found closer to the coast, within a different habitat type than is present', or within a different soil type. High interest plant species which may be expected but were not ob- served are listed in Table 1. A few of the species listed are either annuals or herbaceôus perennials. Of these, Brodiaea filifolia and Acanthomintha ilicifolia are singled out because of their scarcity. Both species prosper in heavy clay soil which is, found in areas of the site. Acanthomintha ilicifolia had been previously reported just east of the eastern terminus of La Costa Avenue. Due to the disturbed nature of the entire site, the prob- ability of finding either of these species was considered low. Depleted, Declining Status,' Limited Distributions A depleted or declining 'faunal species is one that, although still occurring in adequate numbers for survival, has been heavily depleted and continues at a rate which gives cause for concern (Bury, 1971). Such species are declining because of heavy com- mercial exploitation and continuing destruction to their habitats. Two reptile species considered to be declining locally are the coast horned lizard (Phrynosoma coronatüm blainvillei) and the orange-throated whiptail (Cnemidophorus hyperythrus b'eldingi). The San Diego Herpetological Society (1980) considers t h e c o a s t horned lizard to be endangered and the orange-throate d w h i p t a i l to be threatened. Neither of these species was observ e d o n s i t e and neither species is expected, to be found because of t h e l a c k of general habitat requirements for the species. An additional declining reptile species which is expect e d in the general area is the two-striped garter snake (Thai n n o p h i s couchi h'ainmondi). This species is considered threat e n e d b y t h e San Diego Herpetological Society (1980) It is likely to be found along the major drainages in the area such as San M a r c o s Creek, Escondido Creek'and the San Dieguito River; how e v e r , t h e lack of rocks and cover onsite probably prevents th i s s p e c i e s from existing on the property. No bird species which appear on the Audubon Blue List (Arbib, 1979) or on Remsen's Species of Special Conce r n L i s t (Remsen, 1979) were observed onsite. Endemic, Unique Distribution No species endemic to San Diego County were observed o n s i t e . Adolphia calif'ornica is found in the United States only i n S a n Diego County, Although its range extends southward into B a j a California. DISCUSSION AND IMPACT CONSIDERATIONS Preliminary development plans for the site call for t h e c o n - struction of -oondominium units with onsite recreatio n a l f a c i l i t i e s . Most, if not all, of the property will be cleared d u r i n g t h e c o n - struction process. The loss of the onsite population -of Adolphia californica is considered an adverse 'though nonsignifica n t e f f e c t of the project. The onsite-population is generally isolated from any natural open space area and the population is small c o m p a r e d with known populations in the La Costa area in general . T h e current status of the species does not warrant specific ' p r e v e n - tion measures' for, the 'bns'i'te."population.• The loss of the open space grassland and catch'. basin o n s i t e .' . is also considered an adverse effect of project development. Aquatic, riparian, and freshwater marsh h'abi'tats.combined totalled less than two percent of county acreage in 1963 (CDFG, 1965). The catch basin, habitat, attractive to wild- - life for water and forage, is valuable resource which is rare in the dry San Diego region. The disturbed grassland for the most part does not support natural vegetation and undoubtedly supports a limited resident wildlife population i. It is probably used from time to time, however, by raptors for forage from the nearby woodland associated with 'San Marcos Creek to the south. The disturbed nature of the property itself, the construction taking place to the 'north,' and the planned development of the surrounding property to the south and east reduce the impact of project development. • ATTACHMENT A .,f.

APPENDIX B Detailed Archaeology Survey (NOTE: This survey was prepared in 1981 on a project known as Hidden Meadows North; the project-area remains- the same, but the name of the. project is now Meadowcrest ) . O . EXISTING CONDITIONS On June 4, 1981, WESTEC Services, Inc. conducted an archaeological survey of the proposed 15-acre Hidden Meadows North. development. The project area was tra- versed on-foot using standard archaeological procedures. Visual inspection of the project site revealed no cultural resources,, either prehis- toric or historic Any cultural debris located within the study area appears to be associated with the abandoned dwelling immediately, south of the project site (circa 1930-1960). A review of previously recorded sites within the study region, as recorded with local archaeological clearing houses at the Museum of Man and San Diego State University, was also negative. . . . . It should be noted that even though visual inspection of .the project site was as thorough as possible; dense grass cover hindered visibility. fl IMPACTS • . . . . Lack of cultural resources within the proposed Hidden Meadows North develop-, ment area precludes possibility of adverse impacts by such a development. MITIGATION. S •. . .
