<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> D. Flora/Fauna <br /> <br /> Although there were no professional surveys conducted of the floral or faunal <br /> resources of the site, the applicant does not believe that rare or endangered <br /> floral or faunal resources are likely to be found within the subject site. <br /> <br /> The site has already been cleared by bulldozers in the past. Further, the site <br /> has been and continues to be used for cattle grazing. A visual inspection of <br /> the site, however, notes that the undergrowth overwhelmingly consists of <br /> grass, with occasional patches of lantana (Lantana camara) and Christmas <br /> Berry (Schinus terebinthifolius. Mango and monkeypod trees were also <br /> observed. <br /> <br /> Thus, floral impacts should be minimal. <br /> <br /> E. Historic/Archaeological Resources <br /> <br /> In October of 1997, an archaeological inventory survey was conducted of the <br /> subject area by William Barrera, Jr. (See Appendix A). The study noted <br /> that the only things observed were features related to cattle ranching. This <br /> was due in part to the possible destruction of historical features by bulldozing <br /> prior to 1964. <br /> <br /> The report thus concluded that "The three sites that were recorded all date <br /> from modern ranching activities, and are of significance only for their <br /> information content relating to those activities. The present recording <br /> constitutes sufficient data recovery, and any adverse impacts posed by the <br /> development of the property have therefore been mitigated. <br /> <br /> Nonetheless, during the course of developing the subdivision, should any <br /> unanticipated archaeological features or sites be uncovered, work will cease <br /> and the applicant will immediately notify the Planning Department. <br /> <br /> F. Water and Coastal Resources <br /> <br /> The subject site is located well over 1.6 miles from the coastline. As such, <br /> coastal impacts resulting from discharge of wastewater systems from the site <br /> should not be significant. Further, being a non-coastal property, no coastal <br /> access will be affected. <br /> <br /> As the wastewater from the project will be serviced by sewer system meeting <br /> with the approval of the Department of Health, septic tank or related system <br /> meeting with the approval of said agency will be done by the respective <br /> <br /> <br /> 6 <br />
