This report describes a study completed as a part of the Giacomini Wetland Restoration Project to provide background information regarding sensitive botanical resources that may exist there. The purpose of this report is to provide background information regarding sensitive botanical resources within Giacomini Wetland Restoration Project Area. Point Reyes National Seashore (Seashore) will be preparing an Environmental Impact Report/Environmental Impact Statement (EIR/EIS) for this Project. Background information in this report will be used to guide development and assess potential environmental impacts of the Project. As part of the EIS/EIR, the Seashore must consider whether this Project could impact special status plant species, as well as special status wildlife species and other sensitive biological resources such as wetlands and riparian areas. This study addresses not only the Project Area, but certain areas adjacent to the Project Area (Study Area). To determine wheterh any special status plant species occur in the Study Area, a literature review was performed to assess 1) which species have potential to occur in the Study Area; and 2) which species have been previously observed in the area. Other resources were consulted, as well, including soil surveys and vegetation maps. After the literature review, a site reconnaissance was performed to determine whether habitats for any of the special status plant species with potential to occur were present in the Study Area. Focused surveys were then conducted in habitats or vegetation communities that might support special status plants.
