Reintroduced to central coast. Winter range includes the rest of California, except the southeastern deserts, very high altitudes in the Sierra Nevada, and east of the Sierra Nevada south of Mono County In western North America, nests and roosts in coniferous forests within 1 mile of lake, reservoir, stream, or the ocean Yes Yes Yes Yes Bald eagle Haliaeetus leucocephalus Page 2 of 5 Species Notes Listing Potentialb Occurrence in Plan Areac Potential to be Affectedd Sufficient Informatione Species Proposed for Coverage Under the YSRCP (2013) Western spadefoot Scaphiopus hammondii –/SSC/– Sierra Nevada foothills, Central Valley, Coast Ranges, coastal counties in southern California Shallow streams with riffles; seasonal wetlands such as vernal pools in annual grasslands and oak woodlands Yes Yes Yes Yes Northwestern pond turtle Clemmys marmorata marmorata –/SSC/– Oregon border of Del Norte and Siskiyou Counties south along the coast to San Francisco Bay, inland through the Sacramento Valley, and on the western slope of Sierra Nevada Ponds, marshes, rivers, streams, and irrigation canals with muddy or rocky bottoms and with watercress, cattails, water lilies, or other aquatic vegetation in woodlands, grasslands, and open forests Yes Yes Yes Yes Western burrowing owl Athene cunicularia hypugea –/SSC/– Lowlands throughout California, including the Central Valley, northeastern plateau, southeastern deserts, and coastal areas. Rare along south coast Level, open, dry, heavily grazed or low-stature grassland or desert vegetation with available burrows Yes Yes Yes Yes Tricolored blackbird Agelaius tricolor –/SSC/– Permanent resident in the Central Valley from Butte to Kern Counties. Breeds at scattered coastal locations from Marin to San Diego Counties and at scattered locations in Lake, Sonoma, and Solano Counties. Rare nester in Siskiyou, Modoc, and Lassen Counties Nests in dense colonies in emergent marsh vegetation, such as tules and cattails, or upland sites with blackberries, nettles, thistles, and grainfields. Habitat must be large enough to support 50 pairs. Probably requires water at or near the nesting colony Yes Yes Yes Yes Sacramento and San Joaquin Rivers and their tributaries Cold, clear water with clean gravel of appropriate size for spawning; most spawning occurs in headwater streams. Steelhead migrate to the ocean to feed and grow until sexually mature. Yes Yes Poss.

California Distribution Habitats Listing Potentialb Occurrence in Plan Areac Potential to be Affectedd Sufficient Informatione Species Proposed for Coverage Under the YSRCP (2013) Scattered occurrences concentrated in the eastern Sacramento Valley and the Modoc Plateau Vernal pools and shallow lake margins, 1- to 4000 feet Yes Unkn. Yes Yes Retained because of potential to occur in vernal pools. –/–/2.2 Inner Coast Ranges, Southern Sacramento Valley and northern and central San Joaquin Valley Vernal pools and swales, and wetland margins, < 500 feet Yes Yes Poss. No ?. Ahart’s dwarf rush Juncus leiospermus var. ahartii –/–/1B.2 Eastern Sacramento Valley; northeastern San Joaquin Valley; Butte, Calaveras, Placer, Sacramento, and Yuba Counties Vernal pool margins, 100330 feet Yes Yes Yes Yes Legenere Legenere limosa –/–/1B.1 Coast and Cascade Ranges and Vernal pools, swales, seasonal Sacramento Valley marshes, and other seasonally inundated habitats, < 500 feet Yes No Yes Yes Common Name and Scientific Name Species Statusa Federal/State/CNPS Species Notes PROPOSED COVERED PLANTS SPECIES STATE- AND FEDERALLY LISTED SPECIES Bogg’s Lake hedgehyssop Gratiola heterosepala –/E/1B.2 NON-LISTED SPECIAL-STATUS SPECIES Dwarf downingia Downingia pusilla Page 4 of 5 Species Proposed for Coverage Under the YSRCP (2013) a Status Explanations: Federal E = listed as endangered under the federal Endangered Species Act (ESA). T = listed as threatened under the federal ESA. D = delisted – = no listing. State E = listed as endangered under the California ESA. T = listed as threatened under the California ESA. SSC = species of special concern. FP = fully protected – = no listing. R = listed as rare under the California Native Plant Protection Act. This category is no longer used for newly listed plants, but some plants previously listed as rare retain the designation. CNPS 1B = List 1B species: rare, threatened, or endangered in California and elsewhere. 2 = List 2 species: rare, threatened, or endangered in California but more common elsewhere. .1 = seriously endangered in California .2 = fairly endangered in California .3 = not very endangered in California b Listing Potential (No) (Yes) c Occurrence in Plan Area (No) (Yes) d Species is not currently state- or federally listed as threatened or endangered and has low potential of being listed during plan implementation. Species is currently federally listed as threatened or endangered, or has the potential to be federally listed as threatened or endangered during plan implementation. Plan area lacking suitable habitat or is outside species range; species unlikely to occur within plan area. Suitable habitat is present within the plan area; species may occur within plan area. Potential to be Affected (No) (Yes) Unlikely to be affected by covered activities Likely to be affected by covered activities e Sufficient Information f Proposed for Coverage Sufficient scientific information and data are available to address species’ biological requirements, conservation needs, and compensation options. Species are proposed for coverage if the following criteria are met: the species is federally listed or has the potential to be listed in the next 30 years, the species has a moderate to high likelihood of occurring within the plan area, the species is likely to be affected by project activities, and sufficient information is available.
