1. Access the spring color infrared (CIR) ortho imagery for the area of interest. Note the color of the area of interest and how it relates to areas of known non-native cool season vegetation. On the spring CIR imagery, is the area of interest significantly lighter or darker pink when compared to the bright pink of known non-native cool season vegetation?

No - Suitable habitat is absent from project area. Complete the appropriate section of the Environmental Evaluation Worksheet (NRCS-CPA-52) to record the no effect finding. Provide supporting documentation including ALL completed assessments, and then continue with planning.

Yes – Suitable habitat may be present in the project area. Continue to number 2.

2. On the NRCS conservation plan map, delineate andidentify plant stands based on similar species compositionand structure, then conduct a meandering survey toproduce an inventory for each stand using only thoseplants listed in Table 2. Continue to number 3.

3 . Based on the above survey, state in Table 1. (column 2) whether each stand has > 50% cover of native vegetation.

If no stand has > 50% cover of native vegetation, suitable habitat is absent from the project area. Complete the appropriate section of the Environmental Evaluation Worksheet (NRCS-CPA-52) to record the no effect finding. Provide supporting documentation including ALL completed assessments, and then continue with planning.

For all stands with a “Yes” in column 2, continue to number 4.

4. In Table 1 (column 3), indicate whether >20 remnant indicator species listed in Table 2 are present within each herbaceous stand. Continue to number 5.

Prior to a site visit, aerial imagery, topography maps, and other tools (Fig. 1) can be used to delineate preliminary plant stand boundaries where noticeable changes in landscape and plant cover are observed (Fig.2). These boundaries can then be adjusted based on observation during the onsite visit.

55.. Do any of the plant stands host >20 indicator species from Table 2?

If no plant stand hosts 20 or more indicator species, suitable habitat for threatened or endangered plants is absent from the project area. Complete the appropriate section of the Environmental Evaluation Worksheet (NRCS-CPA-52) to record the no effect finding. Provide supporting documentation including ALL completed assessments, and then continue with planning.

For any stand with >20 indicator species, suitable habitat for threatened or endangered species is present in the project area. Indicate whether the following soil types occur within the project area and attach this habitat assessment to, and proceed with, the Step-1 Baseline Assessment.
